Chapter 6: Awakening from a Big Dream
Xiao Lan slowly stepped onto the marble steps, came to a vermilion gate, and gently patted the tiger tooth copper ring on the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
The gate is still closed, isn't there anyone in this huge Huanhua gate?
"Squeak ......"
The door finally opened. It was greeted by an eight- or nine-year-old boy, with beautiful eyebrows and bright eyes, like a fairy child. I think it must be this Huanhuamen Zhong Lingyuxiu, the scenery is pleasant, and it nourishes such a watery doorman.
"You guys are ......," the child looked panicked. Anyone who sees such a picture will be amazed - two women, one with a sword, one with a whip, and a man with a disfigured look and a bloodstained man on his back.
The little boy couldn't help but go up and down a lot more to Xiao Lan and his party. "Hey, isn't this the second senior brother Hua Ming? What happened? How could this be?" The child recognized that the person on Xiao Lan's back was Hua Ming, the second disciple of the Huanhua Sect.
"Oops...... , I don't have time to say so much to you, let us in first". Xiao Lan was obviously very impatient with this yellow-haired child's inquiry, after all, it was impossible to tell a child.
The child opened the door wider, "Come in with me, and I'll go tell the master." Xiao Lan didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately carried Hua Ming in.
Obediently, it turns out that the distance from the gate of this Huanhua Gate to the main hall of the head is not ordinarily far, there are about two hundred steps, no wonder the door was opened so slowly, and this kid can't run fast with a pair of small feet.
Soon, surrounded by everyone, a middle-aged and elderly man with a dignified appearance and a serious expression came to Xiao Lan.
This man is dressed in plain clothes, and a cloak as thin as a cicada's wings shows his fairy demeanor.
Xiao Lan looked at the elder in front of him from top to bottom. His eyes stopped on the waist of the elder, obviously this is Gong Yu, the head of the Huanhua Gate, and the one in front of him is Hua Yuntian, the head of the Huanhua Gate.
"Senior, junior Xiao Lan disturbed" Xiao Lan bowed deeply to Hua Yuntian. "Hmm......" Hua Yuntian just nodded in response, holding Hua Ming's hand for a while.
"What......" Hua Yuntian's eyebrows tightened, and then Hua Ming's eyelids rolled again, "Well, there is still salvation," and put Hua Ming down from Xiao Lan's back as he spoke.
"Hua Jie" Hua Yuntian shouted to the disciples, "These are all distinguished guests, don't slack off, you take them to the West Wing to rest" Xiao Lan found that the three of the disciples, including Hua Jie, were dressed in different colors from the other disciples, but they were indeed the same as Hua Ming's clothes on his back.
In fact, this is the four head disciples of Huanhuamen's "Qingming Zhengjie", of course, Huajie is the fourth junior disciple.
"Yes, the disciple knows," Hua Jie replied respectfully. I saw a lewd man walking out of the crowd, which should be about the same size as Hua Ming.
"A few young heroes, please go down and rest first, and then come to visit after I finish reading the injuries of this bad man," Hua Yuntian nodded slightly to Xiao Lan.
"The boss doesn't have to be polite, just treat Hua Ming," Xiao Lan also bowed.
After speaking, Hua Yuntian took Hua Ming into the main hall. "Xiao Shaoxia and the two girls, please" Hua Jie had a gentle face and a smile, but she stared back and forth at Tang Yueying's body, and Tang Yueying twisted her head to the side very unnaturally. Xiao Lan on the side didn't notice anything unusual.
"Okay, then there is Senior Brother Lao" Although he is not a teacher, Xiao Lan still understands the rules of the rivers and lakes, respects the flowers and cleans, and calls him "Senior Brother".
Xiao Lan, Tang Yueying, and Xue Yan were taken to the West Wing. Xiao Lan was arranged in the leftmost room, while Tang Yueying and Xue Yan were arranged in the two rooms on the far right.
As soon as Xiao Lan came to the room, she immediately lay on the bed. After a day of tossing, he could no longer maintain a standing posture. I had to put a "big" word on the bed, after all, this is the most comfortable sleeping position.
But there are too many problems that have been bothering Xiao Lan, making him unable to sleep easily. The first question is where the real Sword Rain Stone is, and the second question is who Tang Yueying is, and her martial arts are so strong.
Xiao Lan secretly decided that these two questions must be clarified.
Finally, she still couldn't stop the sleepiness, Xiao Lan tossed and turned for a while and fell asleep.
......
"Knock knock......" There was a quick knock on the door outside the room.
"Xiao Shaoxia, have you gotten up, the master has something to call you over" Xiao Lan was awakened in her sleep as soon as it was dawn. If he was in Xingyue Tower, as long as his father and mother didn't knock on the door, he would definitely go out and teach him a good lesson.
"Ah...... Ha ......" Xiao Lan dragged her body to the door with a lingering sleepiness.
"Hey, Senior Brother Hua Jie, is there anything wrong with this morning?" Xiao Lan looked at Hua Jie with an innocent expression.
"Oh, Xiao Shaoxia, the master said that there is something, tell you to go to his room" Hua Jie saw Xiao Lan's haggard appearance and showed a self-reproachful expression.
"Isn't the room, shouldn't it be in the main hall?" Xiao Lan had already heard his father say that the Jianghu Sect met with foreign disciples in the main hall to show welcome and respect. But Hua Yuntian, as the head of the faction, directly asked Xiao Lan to go to his room to talk, which made Xiao Lan have to be puzzled.
"I don't know, how dare we ask about the master," Hua Jie said with a smile.
Hua Jie took Xiao Lan through the lotus pond through the peony pavilion through the red maple road, and came to an independent building.
"Master is on it, Xiao Shaoxia, please go up" After speaking, Hua Jie hugged her fists and left. Xiao Lan came to the outside of the pavilion and saw the four golden characters of "Wencheng Wude" written in cursive on the apricot yellow plaque in the middle.
Xiao Lan gently pushed open the middle door, only to see Hua Yuntian holding his hands behind his back, staring at the danqing on the wall.
"Oh, you come and pull" Hua Yuntian smiled and greeted Xiao Lan. "I heard that my seniors were looking for me, but I don't know what," Xiao Lan bowed to Hua Yuntian and saluted back.
"You said your name is Xiao Lan, right?" Hua Yuntian pointed to the chair due east and motioned for Xiao Lan to sit down. "Yes," Xiao Lan sat down against the wall.
"Who are you Xiao Jingshen?" Hua Yuntian stroked his beard. "It's my father, do my predecessors know my father" Xiao Lan stood up from her seat in surprise.
"Haha...... It's really providential, your father and I are old friends, but I didn't expect that after the deceased, he is now Yushu Lingfeng." Hua Yuntian laughed.
"Senior Miao praised, I didn't expect such a wonderful opportunity" Xiao Lan also smiled.
"Back then, your father led troops to fight and was ordered to exterminate the bandits entrenched in Meiling, but he unexpectedly fell into the trap of the bandits. At that time, I was only the head disciple of the Huanhua Gate, and when I met your father on the way back to the mountain to recover my life, I rushed into the ambush circle and fought a bloody road with your father on my back. Yesterday, I saw you carrying Hua Ming on my back, as if I saw a scene more than 20 years ago.
"Oh, that's why my seniors came to me, that's such a coincidence" Xiao Lan also felt incredible.
"After rescuing your father, in the process of talking to each other, we found that we were compatible with each other, and we were very close to each other, so we introduced each other as confidants, and we agreed with each other that we must do something earth-shattering. Unfortunately, the Liang Kingdom perished, and your father refused to show up and drifted away. But he founded the Jianghu organization of Xingyue Tower, and I also became the head of Huanhuamen. Alas...... It's really emotional," Hua Yuntian stared at one place, falling into a long memory.
In fact, Hua Yuntian only knew that Xiao Jingshen was the general of the Great Liang State, but he didn't know that Xiao Jingshen also had an identity as the younger brother of the Emperor of the Liang State and the King of Langya of the Liang State. I didn't know that Xingyue Tower was actually an institution that convened the old department of Daliang, and the eyeliner of Xingyue Tower was installed all over the country.
Of course, Xiao Lan didn't know these things. I only think that my father is just the boss of a Jianghu organization, and I have always thought so, and I still do.
"Virtuous nephew, in fact, you only said one reason correctly just now, and the other reason is that I found out that you are a 'Seven Star Zongzi'"
"Seven-star Zongzi, what does that mean" Xiao Lan rolled her eyes and was very puzzled. Hua Yuntian was also puzzled, with Xiao Jingshen's ability, it was impossible not to know that Xiao Lan was a seven-star longitudinal, presumably there was something hidden in it that made Xiao Lan know prematurely.
Seeing Xiao Lan's surprised expression, he knew that he had told Xiao Lan about Xiao Jingshen's intention to conceal it too early, after all, he had already said the four words of Seven Star Zongzi just now, isn't this obviously dismantling Xiao Jingshen's platform? It's too late to regret it, so let's be honest!
"The Seven Stars Zongzi is the child produced when the Big Dipper in the sky is connected in a straight line, and this child must be a person who will alarm the world when he grows up," Hua Yuntian explained slowly.
"Then why am I now an adult, and there is no alarm in the world," Xiao Lan was skeptical of what Hua Yuntian said.
"That's because you don't have a sword rain stone now." "Why is it a sword rain stone again? It just so happens that I also want to know the details about the sword rain stone, and I ask my seniors to show me" Xiao Lan began to believe it a little, because no matter how impossible it is for the master and apprentice to cooperate to deceive people.
"The Sword Rain Stone is a magical energy crystal, and only the Seven Star Zongzi can master it and exert his true power. If the sword rain stone is used on the right path, then the world will be peaceful, the four will be overwhelmed, and the evil sect will disappear. If it is used for crooked paths, it will make the war between the good and evil factions continue, the earth will crack and the mountains will collapse, and the mourning will be everywhere" Hua Yuntian slapped the table and stood up from the chair.
"Virtuous nephew, according to my observation, you have a clear heart, fortitude and straightforwardness, and you can definitely use the Sword Rain Stone on the right path. Therefore, for the sake of the common people in the world, please accept a reluctant invitation from the old man - before the sword rain stone falls into the hands of the evil sect, find the right way to use it to stabilize the world" Hua Yuntian got up and clasped Xiao Lan's hands, and his firm gaze made Xiao Lan unable to refuse.
"Uh...... This...... But...... Okay, since it is related to the well-being of the people in the world, Xiao Lan must be duty-bound, but I also have a request" Xiao Lan looked out the window, and her voice gradually lowered.
"Oh, what do you ask? "My mother is seriously ill and needs the crescent moon lotus of Lingshan to be used as medicine for treatment. My request is to ask for medicine first and then find the Sword Rain Stone."
"Well, filial piety comes first, you just go to find medicine, the matter of Jian Yushi will wait for your mother to recover" Hua Yuntian also agreed with Xiao Lan's filial piety, and was even more determined that he did not choose the wrong person.
