Everyone looked at Pan Xuan again, and thought: "He rescued the Red Incense Holy Maiden and forced the entire Tartar army back, the credit is too great to be overstated, not to mention that the right arm of the Sect was broken?

Ying'er smiled and said, "Brother Wu Qi, how about you accompany me and be an envoy?" I heard that the Central Plains Ming Sect has always had two envoys. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Hongxiang frowned, sullen, and munch, and Mingshen looked at her in her eyes, but she didn't hurry to ask her why, and only said: "Mr. Wu Qi, are you willing to take up the post of this left envoy?" This position is still above the two Dharma kings Mai Xi and Dong Chen, and is the same as Ying'er, only lower than the two holy women.

Pan Xuan said categorically: "It is the favor of God to make meritorious service by luck." However, how can it be any more so good? Besides, if I, a man with a broken arm, occupy a high position, won't I ruin the reputation of my religion?"

Hongxiang said coldly: "You talk a lot of nonsense, anyway, what kind of ghost idea do you have?"

"Please also ask the Holy Maiden to allow me to build a hut on the other side of the bridge and live in it." If there is an urgent matter below, he will cross the bridge to show the sect leader. ”

Ying'er, Xiao Moxue, Yang Wentian and others said in unison: "Why are you doing this?"

Mingshen frowned slightly, and said, "Do you want to stay away from everyone and live outside alone?" Mr. Wu Qi, we are strict and fair in our Mingjiao, but you are dissatisfied with us, why don't you want to accept our kindness?"

Pan Xuan said with a smile: "I am a scholar below, and I know that there is more than enough to make up for the shortcomings." Therefore, it is necessary to reflect on oneself from time to time, repent of one's sins, and abandon impetuousness and vanity. I live under the bridge, not far from the parishioners, and I don't need the parishioners to take care of my food and clothing, but just to do my knowledge and study the Tao in my heart. ”

Mingshen smiled bitterly and said: "You strange person, don't you want to become a sage? But in this way, all the strange guests in the hundreds of caves and villages in the Kunlun Mountains will complain to us and repay our kindness with resentment." ”

He said: "If the saint doesn't want to go, she really has a wish." ”

Mingshen said happily: "It's good to have a wish, you say, there are not many things in the world that my Mingshen can't do." ”

Pan Xuan said: "In the platform under the bridge, there seems to be a mineral deposit, and this group of ironclad warriors can be driven down to dig down, and if there is any gain, the benefits are willing to be shared with all the sect members." ”

Myojin laughed and said, "It turns out that you have taken a fancy to our Kunlun business." Well, since you have this ability, let's get rich together. ”

Hongxiang said suddenly: "Wu Qi, if you have something to hide and a conspiracy, don't blame me for being unkind to you!"

Hearing Hongxiang's stern tone, everyone guessed that there must be a reason, but no matter how they guessed, they couldn't guess that this old man with a broken arm had a love under the bed with this holy woman.

Pan Xuan did not show joy or anger, bowed, and retreated, not attending the subsequent celebration dinner. Early the next morning, he led the ironclad warriors out of the top of the light and built a stone house on the other side of the bridge.

The platform covers an extremely large area, can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people without crowding, and when the land rises and becomes a mountain cliff. After three days and three nights, he already knew it by heart.

He ordered a group of ironclad warriors to build furnaces, cast ironware, and dig mountain walls, and if the ironclad warriors ran out of energy, he would take the brown gunpowder left over from the blood element and pour it into the ironclad man's body, so that he could work for days without stopping. After such a hard work, a month later, the ore deposits were excavated, a large amount of which was copper and iron, a small amount of gold, and a little brown gunpowder. In this way, the ironclad warriors will be self-sufficient and their physical strength will be unlimited.

After the minerals were excavated, Pan Xuan ordered the ironclad warriors to build a walled city next to the mine source to prevent someone from attacking and looting it. Then, follow the method of blood element, build more ironclad people, use them to patrol, arm, protect the city wall, dig ore, carry goods, smelt and forge. The ironclad warriors could have simply followed orders, but they have been improved and improved to be more flexible and more effective.

Everything was ready, and Pan Xuan gave all the copper, iron, gold and silver to the Kunlun Ming Sect, and only kept the brown gunpowder. The Ming Sect obtained this financial source, and the congregation was all grateful, and they traded with the various factions under the mountain, and even if they lived in the high mountains, their lives were extremely rich. Ironclad warriors strengthened the bridge, repaired the Mingjiao palace, planted trees, and raised the walls, and the ironclad people were tireless and made rapid progress, far outperforming ordinary laborers.

After a year, the prestige and wealth of Mingjiao reached its peak. The Mingjiao disciples gave him the nickname "Copper and Iron God of Wealth", and they respected and relied on him very much, and his mineral city was called "Copper and Iron God of Wealth Fort".

Seeing that he was so smart and wise, and that his talents were not under the blood yuan of the past in terms of alchemy casting alone, he had the heart to reuse them, so he went with Hongxiang, Ying'er, Xiao Moxue, Dao'er and others to invite him back to Guangming Ding to be in charge of all kinds of political affairs. Everyone saw that his walled city was built on a grand scale, solid and firm, neat and beautiful, hidden behind the mountain wall, without hindering the magnificent style of the bridge and the Mingjiao Palace, and the end was ingenious and ingenious, and they were all amazed.

But in the walled city, all the utensils are rough and simple, and they are extremely simple. Moreover, because of the proximity to the furnace, the fire was smoking, and the situation was extremely bad. Half of the original residence was like an Orion's residence, hanging the meat of foxes, rabbits, cattle and sheep, and half of it was like a Confucian study, displaying the books of the hundred schools of thought, with straw mats on the ground, oil lamps on the walls, and nothing else. Pan Xuan got up to greet him, he looked neat and energetic, but there was no hardship.

Xiao Moxue felt pity and said, "Uncle Wu Qi, why are you so troubled? How about I come to clean and cook for you every day in the future?"

Dao'er shouted: "You are all used to being comfortable, white and fat, how can you look like a wild man? ”

Ying'er also said anxiously: "I knew that you were so guilty, I would have moved in with you." You're a man... Although he has extremely high skills, he can't be taken care of by a woman, and if he is careless, he can't do it after all. ”

Hongxiang thought secretly: "Could it be that he really felt guilty for staining my innocence, so he exiled himself and punished his body and mind? He has done so many things for my Mingjiao, all for me?" Thinking of this, my heart was moved, but the resentment was hidden deep and could not be eliminated.

Myojin sighed: "Sir, I used to call you a strange person, but I really mean it. You are the God of Wealth of my Ming Sect, how can you live such a hard life? You are old and physically inconvenient, and if you continue like this, you will definitely suffer from a serious illness. ”

Pan Xuan said indifferently: "Holy Maiden, your kung fu is profound, can you see how energetic the old man is?"

Mingshen looked at it for a moment and said with a smile: "You are strong and healthy, and there are no signs of aging, but you must know that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, if you really suffer misfortune, it will be too late." ”

Pan Xuan said: "The ironclad people in this walled city have all been adjusted by me, and they only listen to the old man's orders. If I leave, within three days, I will stop working, and there will be a lot of chaos, so I can't leave. ”

Mingshen was moved, and said, "Then how about I arrange a marriage for you?" I have a few female disciples who admire you so much, and if I promise to marry, they will be happy. ”

Hongxiang snorted softly and glared at Pan Xuan to see how he replied. Pan Xuan shook his head and said: "Women's wealth disturbs my heart in vain." I am moving mountains and building cities here, but I actually love the days of seclusion. I begged for my own way, and asked the Holy Maiden not to disturb me. ”

The people were so disappointed that they could not move, so they had to give up. Xiao Moxue, Dao'er, and Ying'er really missed him, and wanted to stay and chat with him for a while, so they shook their heads and only asked, "Moxue, Dao'er, you two practiced with your master, how are you entering the realm now?"

Hongxiang nodded and said: "These two children are extremely talented, and now they have practiced my Mingjiao internal skills to an extremely high level, and it will not be long before I teach her the two of them the trick of refining and transferring." This kind of entry is far better than when I was studying art. ”

Mo Xue and Dao'er listened to the master's praise, and they were happy and proud in their hearts, but they felt slightly shy, and said modestly: "It's just that the master teaches you well." ”

Mingshen chirped: "Your two female apprentices are good, and my two male apprentices are not bad." Ask the sky, Bai Kai is successful in learning and art. I think that in another half a year, the martial arts of the two of them will be comparable to the other two Dharma protectors. Our Mingjiao has always had four Dharma kings, and they are more talented than others, and they are enough to take on this responsibility. ”

Pan Xuan smiled: "I know your situation, and you also see that I am not bad, since this is the case, there is nothing else to talk about, why do you want to stay here?"

Everyone saw that he was polite, but the meaning of the words was not in the oil and salt, and his expression was even more resolute, and in desperation, he resigned and left.

After Hongxiang returned to the palace, she was restless and meditated, but it was really difficult to take it.

Although she is more than 100 years old, she looks like a girl, especially in the word "love", which is far less mature than Mingshen. And the person she loved all her life, first the Blood Yuan Sect Master, and then the benefactor Goshawk, in the past, her wish in her heart was to be happy with the goshawk, spend a good night together, and dedicate her best chastity to this dream lover.

Now this beautiful dream has long been shattered, and the bad man is a bad old man, and what makes her even more annoyed is that when the two are intimate, she is crazy, and regards him as a goshawk, and takes the initiative to give him a hug, during which she is quite enjoyable. As a result, she felt humiliation and hatred, which took root in her heart and grew wildly.

She knew that Wu Qizi also regretted it, for her sake, in order to atone for her sins, she was willing to live alone and suffer from sin, and spared no effort to help Mingjiao grow its power. It stands to reason that what he has done can atone for his sins a thousand times over. Even the goshawk in the past was kind to her, but I am afraid that it is far less than this Wu Qi.

But the more Wu Qi is like this, the more Hongxiang doesn't want to appreciate it. He ruined Hongxiang's dream and made her no longer innocent, even if he used the worldly favors to compensate, how could he make her whole?

Hongxiang was full of thoughts, opened her eyes, it was getting late, her face was pale, she clenched her fists, performed light skills, and walked towards the Fort of the God of Wealth.

On top of the walled city, all the ironclad warriors patrolled back and forth, without slackening, and they could see the red incense, and they all recognized her and did not stop her. Hongxiang walked into the stone house of Panxuan, saw that Panxuan was not there, sat on the straw mat, and waited for him to come back.

Soon, Pan Xuan pushed the door in, seemed to know that she was here, bowed to her, and said, "Red Fragrance Holy Maiden, why did you go and return?"

Hongxiang immediately said, "Wu Qi, would you like to marry me?"
