Chapter 288: The Hidden One
Seeing that Shen Ling, the courtyard master, had not answered for a long time, the elders looked at Ye Lao on the side at the same time and said, "Great Elder, it's time to say something, this matter must not be allowed."
Seeing the situation, Ye Lao just shook weakly, and didn't say anything, as if he couldn't see a glimmer of hope in Shen Yuan's eyes.
Seeing this situation, Shen Murong was ruthless in his heart, and said firmly: A few elders don't want to say more, I, Shen Ling, have already decided, and I hope that the elders will forgive me, and this matter will be decided like this, and then he said solemnly: Ye Lao, tomorrow I will send invitations to all famous sects, and the day after tomorrow, I will hold my Shen's retreat in my Shen Courtyard, so that I Shen will give an explanation to the world, and this matter will be taken care of by Ye Lao.
Ye Lao on the side walked out slowly, and said respectfully: The old man received the order.
After seeing Ye Lao receiving the order, Shen Ling said sharply: That's the end of today's deliberations, everyone should disperse.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, the elders had no choice but to get up, their faces were full of worry, and they whispered to each other and went with everyone, while Shen Feng on the side saw that the master seemed to be still on the top of his head, and felt that it was inconvenient to disturb at this time, so he chose another time, so he also went with everyone.
Seeing that everyone was slowly leaving outside the lobby, Shen Ling said softly: Ye Lao, you stay.
After everyone had already dispersed, Shen Ling cautiously looked outside the lobby, and seeing that there was no one anymore, Shen Ling said: Ye Lao, do you have anything to say.
Ye Lao paused, looked at Shen Ling and said: Since the courtyard master has already made up his mind in his heart, why should he ask Lao Yu again, what can Lao Yu say, but... It's just that what the old man doesn't understand is why the owner of the courtyard wants to retire, and the old man is very incomprehensible, and he asks the owner of the hospital to make it clear.
Shen Ling hesitated in his heart, and said slowly: For the sake of these seven mystical goodness.
As soon as the three words of Qixuanshan came out, Ye Lao's body trembled violently, his face was full of solemnity, and he looked outside the hall, then looked at Shen Ling and said: What the courtyard master said is... , He paused, and then said: Could it be that these seven profound and good things are true, there really is such a thing.
Shen Ling sighed and lowered his voice and said, "Yes, this evil thing is in my Shen Courtyard, and when the time is ripe, this evil thing will disappear forever with my retreat."
Ye Lao frowned and said: I am afraid that there is something wrong with this matter, it goes against the will of the first emperor and the master of the Cloud Courtyard, this thing is the divine object of my Shen Courtyard, isn't it... , he said this, he didn't say anything more, but he was worried about something in his heart.
Seeing that Ye Lao was very worried in his heart, in order to get Ye Lao's support, Shen Ling no longer concealed everything that happened in Cuimi Peak last night.
Shen Ling told Ye Lao about the events of last night, and when he heard that Ye Lao's whole body was boiling, his heart was greatly shocked, especially when he talked about the divine consciousness that the Lord of the Cloud Courtyard finally turned into, his face was solemn and sacred, which was a manifestation of the loyalty of the Shen Courtyard, and finally he learned that when the Seven Xuanshan had the erosion of the backlash, he finally understood why Shen Ling would call it an evil thing, and even understood that keeping this evil thing away from the world was the true will of the Lord of the Cloud Courtyard.
After understanding the ins and outs of this, Ye Lao let out a long breath, and only now did he know that Shen Ling would do this, he had a withered face, knelt down at Shen Ling and said: Old and stupid, I don't know that the courtyard master is a painstaking person, and then he said solemnly: Please rest assured, I, Ye Mou, am fighting for my life, and I want to help you complete the last life of the Yun courtyard master.
When Shen Ling saw the situation, his heart was relieved, he stepped forward and picked up the old man and said: Ye Lao, please get up quickly, with Ye Lao's words, I Shen will be relieved, and in the future, Shen Yuan will have Lao Ye Laofei, he paused and said: But this matter is very important, don't leak the news.
Ye Lao also knew that this matter was serious, so he said: "Courtyard master, rest assured, the old man should have never heard of this, and said that he said to Shen Ling: The old man will go and do the things explained by the courtyard master and say goodbye."
Shen Ling replied: Ye Lao walks slowly, I will not send it far.
Seeing that Ye Xing had already disappeared from the lobby, he let out a long breath.
Today's Shen Yuan is different from the past, all the disciples in the courtyard are dressed in golden clothes, and guards have been added to each pass in the city, which is more righteous and majestic than in the past.
An old man stood on the stone steps outside the lobby, and a young man behind him was close to him, but his eyes were cold and unwavering, as if he was contemplating something, and the two of them were greeting the guests.
The courtyard is very lively, the pedestrians on the central axis street are endless, most of them are cultivators in the cultivation world, including the major decent people of Xiuzhen, and there are also many members of the scattered cultivation faction to come, it is to go to the meeting hall of the Shen Yuan to discuss important matters, it turns out that today is the day when the Shen Yuan invites all the major sects to come to discuss major matters.
On the street outside the courtyard, there are many people coming and going, and the gate of Guanshen Courtyard has attracted many people to watch, most of them come to see the excitement, and some are still whispering to each other.
And at this time, a man in white, covered with dust, but carrying a wide long sword, squeezed into the crowd, he patted a lively man, and said politely: I disturbed Brother Tai, I don't know what major events happened in Shen Yuan today, why did it attract many people who cultivated the truth.
After the man first settled down, he looked at the man and smiled: It seems that brother, you are not a local, you don't listen to your accent like a person from Xia Tu, no wonder you don't know something.
This person showed off his spirit and continued: Today is the day when Shen Ling, the master of the Shen Yuan of Xia Tu, retreats, and the Shen Yuan has sent invitations to all factions in the world.
When he heard this, the man was very puzzled, and his face was full of thought, but he couldn't understand it, he thanked the man, turned around, and hurried into the distance.
The man walked along the outside of the Shen Courtyard, going deeper, there were not many pedestrians on the road, but there were many more vendors, their clothes were the same, but their faces were dead, he felt that there must be something strange in this, with his current pulse cultivation, he could feel the breath of these people, and the pulse cultivation was never below him, it was definitely not an ordinary trader, he felt that the danger here was getting stronger, and he should leave as soon as possible.
The man found a remote place, looked around cautiously, and saw that there was no one around, so he picked up the dirt and smeared it on his body and face.
The man remembered which brother's words just now, and said very puzzled: Why did Uncle Shen suddenly want to go into seclusion and withdraw from the Third Academy of Xiuzhen, how did this strange thing about Shen Yuan arise one after another, the master ordered me to come to help Shen Yuan, but why did he not tell the truth, who are the vendors who just hid outside Shen Yuan, it seems that it is not good for Shen Yuan, no wonder the master will order me to come, I am afraid that it has been expected for a long time, there must be something big about this Shen Yuan.
He thought about it, and finally shook his head and said to himself: It's better to see the opportunity to act, saying that he walked to a corner, saw that there was no one around to guard, and then turned over, turned into an afterimage, and sneaked into the Shen Courtyard.
There was already a lot of noise in the Shen Courtyard, and the Great Elder of the Shen Courtyard, Ye Gu, was greeting all kinds of cultivators, introducing them to the Shen Courtyard Hall, while the other Great Elders were also busy greeting on the side, only Shen Feng was still thinking on the side, for him today, his mood had never been so complicated, and others had no way of knowing what he was really thinking.
Shen Yuan inner hall, the wall in the center of the hanging of the first group of silent portraits, and placed a tribute to sacrifice incense, Shen Ling today is wearing a dark gray brocade robe, the overall look is particularly vulgar, at this time he is towards the ancestors' remains, pious bow, that posture is all respectful, after three bows he slowly got up, sighed.
Ni Wanqing approached him, grabbed him and said: What's the matter, why are you sighing for a long time, you are worried.
Shen Ling turned to look at Ni Wanqing and said solemnly: I won't tell you, I'm worried about my husband, I'm afraid today... Speaking of this, he paused, and said urgently: Ni Wanqing, I'm afraid that something may happen today, take advantage of the now, you leave quickly with these two things, and I will definitely come to you after I deal with this matter, promise me, you have to go, not for anything else, just for our children, okay, it is not difficult to see that he has a solemn look on his face full of seriousness.
Ni Wanqing let go of her hand, looked at herself Shen Ling, full of tenderness, she shook her head firmly and said: Murong, you don't have to persuade me, I won't leave, what a nail and iron the answer is, without any hesitation, after a pause, she said again: You know that I Ni Wanqing, if you want to leave, I will leave early, you and I have never been separated for so many years, at this critical juncture, I should be by your side, how can I leave you, Ni Wanqing can't do it.
She groaned, and when she looked at the already formed fetus in her arms, she couldn't bear to say: As for the flesh and blood in my womb, I think he will also be considerate of his parents, and then his face seemed to be stiff and whispered: Just look at the will of God.
Shen Ling saw that he couldn't resist her, so he didn't say anything, just let out a long sigh, his expression was a little lonely and sad, in his heart, he already knew that Ni Wanqing would not agree, she knew that Ni Wanqing's personality had always been only concerned about the life and death of others, but she had to treat herself to others, not to mention the person who loved her deeply.
Seeing that Shen Lingliang hadn't spoken for a long time and stood here, Ni Wanqing took his hand again and said: Ni Wanqing will never leave you in this life, I have to stay and help you, stop all this early, and then go to live the life we want.
Shen Ling stroked her shoulders and sighed softly: Since this is the case, let the two of me face it together, but everything has to be done carefully, he looked at her arms, and frowned and said: Your body is getting heavier day by day, and now is a critical juncture, if there is really a difficulty today, you must take care of you and the child first.
Then he seemed to think of something, looked cautiously around the hall, and said in a low voice: Today is my Shen retreat, there must be many people who come, and there are even more people with bad intentions, all of whom are peeping at these seven mysteries, and at that time the husband will be a thorn in everyone's eyes, saying that he gently took out the package hidden in the deep sleeve, and said: In order not to make others suspicious, it is easy to seize it, it is better for you to keep this thing, and he handed the package to Ni Wanqing.
