Part 1 The Lonely Goose Against the Wind Chapter 11 Providence
Pi Li asked, and Tan Bo's eyes were pitiful. The unexpected ending, from the mouth of the old man.
"Five years ago, Young Master Yu was seriously ill and struggled to support him for two years, but finally couldn't hold on anymore and passed away. Tan Bo's words could not hide his grief.
The astonishing words made Pi Li's quality like being hit by five thunders, her heart was like a knife, and she didn't stand firm for a while. Mei Yanxin hurriedly stepped forward to support the master.
Tan Bo continued: "The young master confessed to the head of the house before he died, please hide the news of his death, cremate yourself, and wait for you to come." Let you take his ashes and return to the Hundred Gardens in Southern Xinjiang for burial. ”
Hundred gardens, a strange place in the gate of the birds, the four seasons are unknown, and the flowers are blooming. That was also the place where Pi Lizhi and Yu Boyu first met.
Yu Boyu's intentions, Pi Lizhi has understood. At this time, Tan Bo took out the urn from a cabinet and handed it to Pi Li.
Pi Lizhi carefully took Ailang's urn, unable to suppress her sadness any longer, and burst into tears.
In the Hanshan Palace, everyone quietly waited for their return. I saw Pi Lizhi holding the ashes altar in despair and walking in front. Mei Yanxin followed closely, covering her face with a veil and not arguing.
The master and apprentice walked in front of everyone in the Bird Fairy Gate, and Pi Lizhi walked out without saying a word, and the sedan chair did not take it. Mei Yanxin signaled to the senior brothers and sisters, and the team went down Wu'anshan in a bustling manner.
As soon as the Sparrow Fairy Gate left, Lu Hanxing arrived later.
Zhen Yi asked, "Master, what happened to the forbidden land?"
Lu Hanxing's face was heavy, and he sighed: "The fifth junior brother died of illness three years ago, and he has been hiding it until now. In the hands of the master of the door is the ashes altar of the junior brother. ”
Zhen Yi was taken aback, and sadness came out of his heart. Thinking about the fifth senior brother back then, the life and death of the senior brother are uncertain, the whereabouts of the second senior brother are unknown, and the fifth senior brother also died of illness. It is said that the end of fate is death, but it will come too early.
Lu Yao looked around the hall and never saw Xiao Cuo. It's just that I went to the place where the master fell off the cliff to hang, why didn't I see it for a long time!
The autumn wind is cold, and the leaves are flying. The blow chilled people's hearts, and they never saw the old man again.
Xiao Cuo dragged his tired body back to the fisherman's village and watched the Bird Fairy Gate set off for camp with his own eyes. waited until all the people in the Bird Fairy Gate were gone, and then went up the mountain.
The night was dark, Lu Yao waited anxiously in front of the main entrance, and finally saw the figure of the senior brother, and excitedly stepped forward.
At this time, a cough came from behind Lu Yao, and when he looked back, he saw that it was his father Lu Hanxing.
Lu Hanxing's face was gloomy, and seeing Xiao Cuo's listless appearance and his daughter's concerned expression, he said unhappily in his heart: "Xiao Cuo, why did you go back to the mountain so late!"
Xiao Cuo replied: "The disciple has been monitoring the Bird Immortal Gate at the bottom of the mountain, and he didn't come back until they were all gone, and he was about to return to the master." "I didn't dare to say that I was going to worship the master, so I had to lie.
Lu Yao had always known his father's thoughts, and he was afraid that he would blame his senior brother, so he hurriedly said, "Yes." Senior brother told me early in the morning that the five major factions had left and were afraid that the Bird Immortal Sect would do wrong, so he secretly went down the mountain to monitor it!"
Lu Hanxing knew that his daughter and Xiao Cuo were talking nonsense with their eyes open, and it was not easy to expose it in person, so he had to give up. dragged his daughter and walked straight away.
Xiao Cuo faced Lu Yao's reluctance, and there was no other way. I could only watch Lu Yao leave. In addition to heartache, there is a little more helplessness.
"You're back!" What happened just now, Zhen Yi saw it in his eyes.
Xiao Cuo replied, "Yes, Master!"
Confirming that no one was eavesdropping, Zhen Yi warned in a low voice: "You remember that the senior brother of the head is different from your master. In the future, you should pay more attention to your behavior, otherwise you will suffer in the future. ”
Xiao Cuo thought to himself, didn't you give me less suffering? I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it. vaguely agreed to the master.
Zhen Zhi's disciples didn't listen to him, and shook his head helplessly and left.
The changes in the Hanshan Sword Sect aroused the interest of King Pingnan.
"You mean that in addition to Pi Lizhi, there was also Lu Hanxing who was present at the time. Wei Che listened to Wei Feng's account and confirmed it again and again.
Wei Feng said categorically: "The children are the second batch to arrive, and the masters of the five major factions who arrived before the children arrived, and they have no reason to lie." What's more, there are a lot of people present, and it is difficult to collude. Did Dad see any clues?"
Wei Che was born in the royal family, grew up in the palace, and was exposed to power and intrigue since he was a child. The Cold Mountain Sword Sect has changed so drastically, how can it escape his eyes.
"As soon as Li Wangqing died, Lu Hanxing's position as the head of the house was justified. Wei Che guessed: "There must be something wrong with this, and it will be useful for us to pay more visits." ”
Wei Feng immediately said: "That kid immediately send someone to investigate!"
Wei Che stopped: "No hurry, wait and see." At present, there are no other changes in the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, the paper can't hold the fire, and we are too anxious to lose the opportunity to see clearly. After a while, he asked, "Yan'er, have you locked yourself in the house since you came back?"
Wei Feng replied truthfully: "She likes to play outside, and she is angry that we brought her back." When passing by Xiangyang, she also wanted to go to Ouyang's family to play. was dragged back to the palace by the child. ”
"This wild girl, how can she have the demeanor of a county lord. "There's nothing we can do about our baby daughter. just reminded Wei Fengdao: "It's okay if she doesn't go out recently." The emperor's school guard is recruiting beauties in Jiangnan to enrich the harem. ”
"No, now the saint and his sister are uncles and nieces!" Wei Feng felt incredulous.
Wei Che was dissatisfied: "Our emperor, in his life, is only most interested in power and women, as long as he is not his daughter, there are no taboos. ”
Wei Feng snorted coldly and said angrily: "Father is right to seize the world, such a faint king is not worthy of our life for him!"
"Everything needs timing, not complaining. "Wecher's city is quite deep, and his words have a deep meaning.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is April of the following year. Vientiane has been renewed, and Lu Hanxing has entered its second year at the helm of the Hanshan Sword Sect, and his position is becoming more and more stable.
The rivers and lakes are also calm. The Bird Immortal Sect did not walk the Central Plains again, looking for trouble with the Hanshan Sword Sect.
In fact, Xiao Cuo knew that this was just an illusion, because he found out that he was being watched. Although it was very hidden, it was still seen by Xiao Cuo. This is a dangerous signal, indicating that Lu Hanxing has already regarded him as an enemy.
Xiao Cuo can now be said to be in a dilemma, isolated. Not to mention the things I overheard outside the window. From then on, he did not dare to come out late at night to practice martial arts, and the situation continued until April, when it suddenly stopped.
Half a month later, no one was found to be monitoring again. Xiao Cuo let down his guard at this time, and after cautiously confirming that no one was following him in the middle of the night, he hid the disciples guarding the back door and came to the bamboo sea to practice martial arts.
I saw Xiao Cuo's sword unsheathed, and the phantoms were heavy, as if three people were attacking at the same time. The edge of the sword is crossed, and the bamboo is cut like cutting tofu. It is the eighth style of Shangqing Sword Intent "The Sword Disappears".
All this was seen by Lu Hanxing, who was secretly peeping, and his heart was full of jealousy.
It turned out that Xiao Cuo was still too young and thought things too simply. Lu Hanxing was scheming, and saw that ordinary disciples couldn't monitor Xiao Cuo at all, but instead startled the snake.
They were evacuated, and Lu Hanxing personally guarded outside the South Courtyard. Sure enough, half a month later, I found that Xiao Cuo couldn't hold back and sneaked out to practice martial arts. But when he saw Xiao Cuo's practice of Shangqing Sword Intent, he was still shocked by his cultivation.
It seems that this kid must be eliminated to be at ease. Lu Hanxing thought.
Early the next morning, Gao Shu found Xiao Cuo and ordered him to walk five miles downstream of the Wu'an River to get water.
Xiao Cuo was puzzled: "Senior Brother Gao, why do you want me to go so far away to get water?"
Gao Shu said angrily: "Do you want to disobey the order? ”
Xiao Cuo couldn't, so he had to carry the bucket straight out of the back door and go down the mountain to do what Gao Shu said.
The sky was cloudy, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily. Afraid of coming back in the rain, Xiao Cuo walked five miles to get water all the way honestly, and was about to bring it back, when he bumped into Lu Hanxing head-on.
"Meet the master uncle!" Xiao Cuo didn't dare to lose the number of courtesies, put down the bucket and saluted respectfully.
Lu Hanxing looked around, saw that there was no one around, and asked, "Why are you carrying water here?"
"My subordinates don't dare to be lazy, and if they are lazy, they won't walk five miles. It was ordered by Senior Brother Gao, and he asked his subordinates to come down and carry water here. Xiao Cuo obviously felt that there was something wrong with Lu Hanxing's questioning logic, and he just thought he was deliberately finding fault.
"Shut up! You yourself came here to take advantage of the opportunity to be lazy, and you dare to say that it was ordered by Gao Shu. "If you want to add sin, there is no excuse.
Don't wait for Xiao to reply. Lu Hanxing suddenly made a move, and slapped Xiao Cuo in the chest three times in a row.
Xiao Cuo spit vermilion, and his internal organs were like fire. Said bitterly: "Uncle Master, why are you so kind to your disciples!"
"Because you shouldn't learn things that don't belong to you!" Lu Hanxing no longer concealed it, and his naked words made Xiao Cuo feel cold and piercing.
It's impossible to fight back. Xiao Cuo was unwilling to sit still, and wanted to use his internal strength, but he was seriously injured in front of him, and his true qi collapsed.
Lu Hanxing saw the opportunity, and slapped Xiao back in three consecutive moves. Xiao Cuo exerted all his strength, slapped his palm to shock back the strong enemy, and jumped into the river to escape.
Lu Hanxing was afraid that others would be suspicious, not to mention that Xiao mistakenly slapped himself several times, and jumped into the river to be more auspicious. Then he pretended that nothing had happened and slowly returned to the mountain.
Unfortunately, Lu Yao came to the kitchen to find Xiao Cuo and was told that he had gone to the back mountain to fetch water. But left and right, there is never a figure of Xiao wrong. But my father came back from the back mountain, and he looked like he had been really angry.
Bad thoughts arose in Lu Yao's heart, thinking of his father's usual hostility towards Xiao Cuo. Hurriedly carrying his sword down the mountain, along the mountain road to the river where water is often fetched, but there is no one to be seen.
When I was anxious and didn't know what to do. Seeing the disciple who had been following Senior Brother Gao Shu, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask him if he had seen Xiao Cuo.
The disciple opened his mouth and said that he didn't see it, but his eyes flickered, as if he was deliberately avoiding Lu Yao.
The sword was unsheathed, rested on the disciple's neck, and then asked, "Say, have you seen Senior Brother Xiao, if you don't say it, see how I clean you up! Don't think I'm as easy a bully as Senior Brother Xiao!" The blade of the sword was attached to his neck.
The disciple thought to himself: "Lu Yao is the daughter of the head of the family, if she wants to do anything wrong, no one dares to care." When the time comes, I will be the one who will suffer. Only then did he explain what Shen Silent had told Xiao to do wrongly.
Lu Yao's heart sank, the long sword was sheathed, and he jumped into pursuit of the lower reaches of the Wu'an River.
Will she succeed in finding Xiao Cuo? See the next chapter, "Escape."
