Chapter 30: Clouds and Smoke on the Ridge (Part II)

Jade Girl Peak.

The mountains and forests shrouded in night are dark and gloomy. The wind vibrates the trees, and the waves sound like a tide. At this time, the night was in Youxu, and the disciples had already had dinner, and Wenxiufang was brightly lit. The lanterns that line up the stone steps to the gate are lit at this moment.

"There are many rumors in the rivers and lakes. Qinglongshi's predecessors are famous all over the country, and their experience is much deeper than that of a little woman, so they don't know this truth. In Sui Zhenfeng's study, Bai Xian was talking to Qinglongshi with a smile on her face. "The family teacher has always been jealous and hateful, and has never tolerated adultery. If it is really as the predecessors said, then the Holy Hand Little Green Dragon raped and plundered, and did all kinds of evil......"

Qinglongshi interrupted her: "Those are just rumors, the Holy Hand Little Qinglong is pure and kind, I have been with him for a few days, he will never be a ruthless person." ”

"Yes, the seniors also knew the horror of the rumors. Bai Xian smiled, "Let's not talk about what kind of person this Holy Hand Little Qinglong is, just based on his reputation, the family teacher will never let him remain in the world." The predecessors must have also heard of the method of the family teacher, 'Eliminate the evil and purify it, cut the grass and eradicate the roots.' 'Do you think, since you have encountered this evil thief who everyone in the world wants to kill, how could the family master only detain the soul of the Holy Hand Little Green Dragon and not simply get rid of him?

"That's because of Miss Qin Suqin. Qinglongshi said: "Is Miss Qin the senior sister or junior sister of the white master?"

"She is the younger sister of the little girl. Bai Xian's face remained unchanged and replied with a smile.

"Miss Qin is your master's favorite disciple......, right?

The senior laughed. Bai Xian Zhengse said, "The family teacher treats all the disciples under his door as his own and treats them equally. Didn't particularly love anyone. We practiced martial arts together with Senior Sister Qin and grew up together. Morning and evening get along like brothers, how can the family teacher treat us biasedly?"

"What you said is true?" said the Blue Dragon Warrior looked at her. There was a puzzled expression on his face: "How did I hear that it was not the same as this?" The whole gang leader of the Baiyi Gang told me that it was Miss Qin who begged to die that night, and forced her to die, so the head of Sui had to change her mind. ”

"Well, therefore, the rumors are not credible. Bai Xian pretended to sigh, a smile appeared on her face again, and said: "The family teacher has taught us since we were children that the way of chivalry is to be righteous before we can be right. The family teacher has a clear name all his life. I would like to ask my seniors, if one day you meet a scum who does all kinds of evil, will you let him go unpunished because of the persuasion of your relatives and friends?

The Blue Dragon Warrior blinked, but did not answer.

"I don't think my seniors will. Bai Xian's face was extremely gentle and reverent, and her eyes were staring at the Qinglong Shi, as if she admired and seemed to have something to do: "The predecessor is the leader of the righteous path of the north and the south. Bearing the mission of safeguarding the lives of thousands of people in the world. I believe that my predecessors must know what is light and what is important. The name of the Qinglongshi is spread all over the world, and it is the same as Qin. When the tutor was on the mountain. He once earnestly warned the little girl that she should follow the example of her predecessors in everything and treat evil. It is better to be broken than to coexist. ”

Seeing that Qinglongshi lowered his head to think, Bai Xian smiled.

"The Jade Girl Peak is the name of Orthodoxy. They also know their responsibilities. If the family teacher really met the Holy Hand Xiao Qinglong, I am afraid that he would have been killed in the palm of his hand. His spirit will never be imprisoned. So. Senior, I'm afraid that you have been misled by others this time and have come in vain. ”

"Not true. Qinglongshi stood up, looked at Bai Xian and shook his head. "I don't know what you're saying wrong. But your words are not true, I don't believe it. Now I won't debate with you. I'll wait for your master to come back. ”

"It's been half a month since the tutor came down the mountain, and there has been no news so far, and I don't know when she will come back. Bai Xian smiled softly, as if she didn't care about Qinglongshi's offended words. "The seniors are willing to live in the Jade Girl Peak, and our sect is extremely honored. I just hope that the seniors will not blame the slow hospitality. ”

"Xuemei. Bai Xian clapped her hands and called out the door.

"It's coming. Fan Xuemei pushed open the door and walked in: "Senior sister of the acting head of the family, do you have something to order?"

"You take the Qinglongshi hero to the side house to rest. Tell the kitchen grandmother to make a table banquet in a while, and I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the seniors. ”

"Yes, Jane, please. ”

"Forget it, no need. Qinglongshi waved his hand, stared at Bai Xian, for a long time, and said: "Master Bai, sure enough, the woman didn't let her eyebrows be shaved, and she understood." After saying that, he arched his hand and said goodbye and went out.

The two watched as the Qinglongshi walked out, and his figure gradually disappeared behind the Washing Heart Hall. The smile on Bai Xian's face was withdrawn. She looked at the shadows in front of her with a heavy heart, not knowing what she was thinking. Fan Xuemei didn't notice anything wrong, stuck out her tongue at Bai Xian, and said, "I didn't expect that Qinglongshi was so famous, but he was so young. Senior Sister Bai, do you say, is he thirty years old this year?"

"How old he is, what does it have to do with us. Bai Xian said lightly. "You just take care of yourself, don't ask about these irrelevant things. ”

"Yes, Senior Sister. Fan Xuemei lowered her head, but secretly grimaced.

"I asked you to clean and furnish all the retreat rooms in the Washing Heart Hall, how did you do?"

"It's all done!" Fan Xuemei smiled at her senior sister. "It's clean, it's neat!" Seeing that there was no smile on Bai Xian's face, I couldn't help but feel a sudden feeling of anxiety in my heart, and I felt pressure for no reason. She put away her smile, lowered her head and said, "What if...... It's nothing, I'll go out, white ...... Acting head of the senior sister. ”

"Go ahead. Bai Xian didn't raise her head, only waved her hand. "When you go out, call me Hui'an. ”

"Yes. ”

Bai Xian was waiting for Hui'an in the room, while flipping through the brief list of affairs in the past half a month:

The Lohmons gathered in Shuzhou. Jiangning Mansion Qunhao has already passed the tone with his colleagues in Shuzhou, and plans to enter Shuzhou City in batches in the near future, and he will be caught off guard by the Luomon Sect. The old hero An Zhenkou sent his disciples to ask how many people Jade Girl Peak was going to send to eliminate evil.

Four Jade Girl Peak disciples have disappeared in Gwangju City, and there has been no news so far. Han Feiyan, a disciple of the expatriate, sent a carrier pigeon, asking the head of the sect to send people to the local area to investigate.

The old hero "Drilling Heart Thorn" Tong Gengjin is scheduled to open a sect on the twenty-seventh auspicious time of August and set up a "Yunjian" faction in Caizhou. The scene received a plaque and invited the head of the Jade Girl Peak to watch the ceremony and have a tea party.

Liu Zhenlu, the hero of the Central Plains, greeted Sui Zhenfeng with a post. It is said that there has been a lot of turmoil in the Fenzhou Demon Cave recently, and the existing manpower is no longer enough to control the situation. Please ask the leaders of the sect such as Jade Girl Peak to take the responsibility of orthodoxy and gather brave and righteous disciples. Garrison the line locally.

......

Bai Xian flipped through the pages one by one, and was thinking about it when she heard a knock on the door.

"Bai Xian, are you busy?" Lei Shou Zilian stood outside the door with a crutch, saw Bai Xian reading a briefing, and said gently. Bai Xian said "Ahh I still have to recuperate a lot, and if I have something to ask Senior Sister Huide to call me, I'll go over and see you. ”

"How can that be done!" Thunder Hand Zilian smiled: "You are now the head of the Jade Maiden Peak, and your identity is different from before. How could I break the rules of dignity and inferiority? ”

"Look at what Uncle Shi said," Bai Xian said with a smile, squatted down in front of Thunder Hand Zilian's knee, took her hand and shook it: "The acting head is just a title, am I not the previous Xian'er when I became the acting master?" I will always be the Bai Xian who can't learn the three gangs and ban hands, and always let the master punish her. ”

"You kid. Thunder Hand Zilian was amused, and lovingly stroked Bai Xian's hair, "The one in his position." It must have its manners. You are now the head of Jade Maiden Peak, which is different from before. Now your words and deeds affect the whole faction. Mannerisms and descriptions affect the prestige of the mountain gate...... Alas, it's hard for you. Bai Xian. She sighed faintly and said, "Your master has been gone for half a month." So far there has been no news. My body was still wounded by thieves, and I can only let you carry such a burden. ”

Bai Xian's long eyelashes lowered, but there was still a smile on her lips: "It's not tight, uncle." I don't feel tired. ”

Thunder Hand Zilian shook her head: "Among the disciples of this generation, you and Su Er are the most promising. Su Er attaches great importance to love and righteousness, has a high level of understanding, and is a good seedling for learning spells. You are different from her, you often walk beside the master, you know things well, and you do things in an orderly manner. Both of you are rare and good talents in my Jade Girl Peak. It's a pity...... Su'er she ...... Alas!"

"Senior sister Ji Ren Tianxiang, she will definitely be able to turn danger into safety. Bai Xian's voice was also a little gloomy. "Now I don't know where she is hiding, I just hope that she will return to the mountain one day sooner, and I will give her the position of acting head. ”

"She has been hiding in Hejiazhuang. Lei Shou Zilian said, "Yesterday Huixi sent a carrier pigeon, saying that Su'er had left Jiangning Mansion the day before yesterday and went south, thinking that he was walking to Gwangju. Your master happens to be in Gwangju too, and Hye-hee has already sent her another carrier pigeon. Let me tell you. ”

"Ahh

"Yes, didn't your master say that there was news of Su'er and report it to her as soon as possible...... Bai Xian, what's wrong with you? Your face ......."

Bai Xian's face was a little pale. She didn't hide her worries, her eyes flickered a few times, and she said to Thunder Hand Zilian: "Senior Uncle, I'm worried about Senior Sister! There are enemies everywhere now...... She walked alone, and she didn't know how dangerous it was. ”

"Alas, I'm also worried about her, this child is not very sophisticated, and he will not deal with things calmly. ”

Bai Xian frowned and paced quickly around the room. I think I'm very worried about the safety of my sister. Seeing her like this, Lei Shou Zilian comforted her in turn: "Xian'er, you don't have to worry too much, your master is in Gwangju, as long as Su'er arrives in Gwangju and the two meet, it should be fine." ”

"But Uncle Shi! There are still several days of travel from Jiangning Mansion to Gwangju, what should I do if my junior sister encounters a thief on the road?" Bai Xian is most afraid of seeing each other, how can she not worry?

"It's okay. Thunder Hand Zilian said, "Su'er has also been walking around the rivers and lakes for a year, and ordinary characters can't move her." ”

"No, no, uncle. Bai Xian shook her head violently, her face already clear. "I have always regarded Senior Sister Qin as my own sister-in-law...... She walked in chaos like this...... I couldn't rest assured. Bai Xian paused for a moment, and finally choked up, "I'm going to find her and accompany her to Gwangju to meet the master, otherwise, if something happens to her on the way, I can't forgive myself for the rest of my life!"

"Xian'er, you ......" Lei Shou Zilian looked at the eldest disciple with pity, she couldn't have imagined that this ordinary and gentle and introverted Bai Xian had such deep feelings for her junior sister. Alas, it is said that adversity sees true love, Qin Su, Qin Su, what a good sister you met!

"Don't cry, don't cry, Xian'er, don't be sad, your junior sister will be fine......"

"Senior sister, my sister is in danger, my heart is very confused, and I can't do anything. Bai Xian let go of the hands covering her face and cried, and there were already two tear stains on her delicate cheeks. "I'm going to find her now!"

"Wait!" Thunder Hand Zilian stopped Bai Xian, who was about to take the door out, "You are now the acting head of the family, and you have to decide the big and small things on the mountain, who can still control the overall situation when you leave?"

"Uncle Shi......" Bai Xian turned around and begged in a lamented voice: "But...... Now I don't have the mind, junior sister is like this...... I can't see her safe, I can't do anything!"

"That'...... What should I do......" Thunder Hand Zilian also felt tricky. Disturbed by this annoyance, she suddenly felt a dizziness in her brain. At this time, the injury has not healed, and the mental strength has been exhausted, and this symptom will appear.

Bai Xian's heart hangs on her junior sister, love is rare, if she insists on going down the mountain, Thunder Hand Zilian has no reason to stop her. However, when she is gone, who will take care of the big mess on the mountain? Thunder Hand Zilian has the heart to help her share her worries, but her body does not allow it......

Thinking that she saw Uncle Shi's worries, Bai Xian suddenly stopped her tears, turned back, and said, "Uncle Shi, you don't have to worry about things on the mountain, I made arrangements first." If there are other things, let Huide and Senior Sister Hui'an help decide. I went down the mountain for two or three days and came back soon. After speaking, he clapped his palms: "Senior Sister Fan, you come in." ”

Fan Xuemei, who was guarding outside the door, pushed the door in and lowered her head: "Senior sister acting in charge, do you have anything to ask?"

Bai Xian walked to the bookcase and handed her a brief list of affairs after reading the circle: "I've dealt with all these things." Opinions are written on it. Tomorrow morning, you ask Senior Sister Qiu Wan to go down the mountain and visit him at the home of An Lao Hero. It is said that Jade Girl Peak follows the banner of justice and exterminates demons. We will send twenty disciples to Shuzhou to sweep the Lohmanism. This is a major event that will raise the prestige of our faction, and it must not be delayed. Remember, let Senior Sister Qiu Wan go, Senior Sister Qiu is eloquent and knows what to say. After replying to the letter, wait for the message of the old hero and determine the date of leaving the mountain. You don't have to wait for me to come back for this matter, once the date is set, you ask Senior Sister Huide to find twenty disciples to go to the old hero's mansion to obey the orders and set off with all the heroes. Huide Jianghu is experienced and knows how to deal with it.

"Over there in Gwangju, I'll do it myself, I'll take Senior Sister Lan and Senior Sister Kong with me later, and escort Senior Sister Qin all the way, if you meet the master and her old man in Gwangju, then it's no problem." ”

"The Yunjian faction's observation of the ceremony can be put aside. There is still some time before the 27th of August, but just in case, you should first prepare two congratulatory messages, one of which says that we will go to the ceremony as scheduled. One said that there are many sect affairs, and the head of the sect goes down the mountain to deal with it, but I am afraid that I will not be able to be present to congratulate and so on. Let Senior Sister Zhao Qingyu write these two documents. If my master and I can return to the mountain before the 22nd, we will rush to the ceremony, and if we can't come back that day, you will send that congratulatory letter of apology.

"As for the requirements of the Central Plains Hero......" Bai Xian paused, obviously not yet making up her mind. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said, "Let's put this matter aside for a while, and when I arrive in Gwangju, I will ask for the master's opinion before I come back." ”

Bai Xian didn't look at the briefing with her eyes, and explained everything clearly. Prioritization, prior and after, is very well organized and appropriate. Fan Xuemei nodded while remembering, but after half a stick of incense, all the orders were completed. Bai Xian confessed to her uncle, went to the disciple's dormitory and ordered two junior sisters, and the three of them took advantage of the night to go down the mountain and rush to Gwangju non-stop.

The storm will be repeated. Gwangju is destined to be an eventful place.
