Rays of sunlight penetrated through the windows of Xuannv Hall and scattered on the bluestone floor tiles. Jiang Hanyue sat on a grand master's chair in the palace with her eyes closed to meditate.
In recent days, she has been learning martial arts from Feng Miaoqing, and under Feng Miaoqing's guidance, in just a few days, she seemed to have a new understanding of the superior martial arts of her sect.
There are many classics left in the Guiying Pavilion of Xuannv Palace, and only the palace owner is qualified to read these classics. Jiang Hanyue had been obsessed with these classics since she took the position of palace master. However, with her talent in martial arts, it was difficult for others to fully understand them.
On the one hand, the principles recorded in books are difficult and obscure, and on the other hand, without the guidance of seniors in the sect, practicing on your own will only lead you astray. Therefore, her martial arts progress has never been improved. After Feng Miaoqing passed it on from hand to mouth, all the doubts in her heart were answered. The work of these few days was far better than the hard training over the years.
She still didn't understand that since this senior had such ability, it would be most appropriate for her to abdicate and let her take charge of the overall situation of Xuannv Palace. But when she made this request, the other party refused. Obviously, this senior has no greed for power, and seems to just want to help him consolidate Xuannv Palace's position in the world. In her heart, she was full of gratitude to this mysterious senior. Only by secretly working hard and regaining her glory could she live up to his expectations.
Suddenly hearing footsteps, a disciple in white clasped his fists and said, "Palace Master, Chief Xiao wants to see you." Jiang Hanyue opened her eyes, stood up suddenly and said, "Ask him to come up the mountain quickly." But he was thinking in his heart. : "What is he here to do?"
Returning to his old place again, Xiao Yunfan was filled with emotions. He looked at the huge stone pillars standing in the square and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It seems like the fierce battle in Xuannv Palace happened just yesterday.
Not long after, Jiang Hanyue, with a long sword on his back and high spirits, led eight disciples to greet him. Everyone met, exchanged some greetings, and was led into the main hall by her. After several disciples served tea, they left.
Jiang Hanyue said with a smile in her eyes, "May I ask Alliance Leader Xiao, what is your message for coming here this time?"
Xiao Yunfan smiled faintly and said: "I don't take it seriously. I'm here to ask two things clearly. First, who is the senior who saved everyone in Xuannv Palace? Second, who will sit in Xuannv Palace from now on?" Which ship?"
The two eminent monks sitting nearby, Zhicheng and Zhixin, also wanted to know Jiang Hanyue's answer. Jiang Hanyue thought about it in her mind and said firmly: "Brother Xiao, I'm sorry that Jiang can't answer your first question. But for the second question, Jiang can answer you clearly. I, Xuannv Palace, We are willing to contribute to the righteousness of the world, and from now on we will naturally ride on the ship of Alliance Leader Xiao."
The other party's words made Xiao Yunfan unable to argue. He looked at Master Zhicheng and said, "Master, do you think this answer from Palace Master Jiang is satisfactory?" Master Zhicheng said slowly: "The alliance leader came here this time to ask all the questions. Two things.
One has an answer, the other doesn't. Such an answer would naturally not satisfy the alliance leader. But from Lao Na's point of view, it's not that Palace Master Jiang doesn't want to answer the first question, she seems to have something to hide. "
Xiao Yunfan stared at Jiang Hanyue's face with sharp eyes, and said calmly: "Palace Master Jiang, you should be very aware of the current situation in Xuannv Palace. Xiao doesn't want you to make the same mistake again and again." Jiang Hanyue heard this and felt a surge in her heart. Rin hurriedly explained: "Leader Xiao, it's not that someone from Jiang deliberately concealed it. It's that this senior didn't reveal her identity to me. If you ask me, I naturally can't answer."
After hearing this, Xiao Yunfan thought in his mind: "Look at Jiang Hanyue's expression, it doesn't look like he is lying. Could it be that I guessed wrongly? This old woman is not a member of the ghost minister. Her origins are suspicious and her whereabouts are mysterious. We really need to investigate it carefully." yes."
Just when he was confused, a voice came from the beams of the hall. The voice said: "Xiao, don't think that your tail will be raised to the sky just because you become a martial arts leader. Others are afraid of you, but I am not!" The words were full of contempt.
Xiao Yunfan stood up when he heard the sound, raised his head and said: "Senior must have misunderstood. In front of seniors, juniors dare not make mistakes. Please show up to me." The voice said disdainfully: "Hmph! You asked me to show up to you? Just show up, there is no such thing as cheap in the world."
Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said, "Oh? How can the senior be willing to show up?" The voice said loudly: "First kowtow thirty-six times, and then make one hundred and eight long bows. I will wait until I am satisfied."
Xiao Yunfan laughed dumbly and said: "Senior, isn't this just entertaining the younger generation? When I finish kowtowing thirty-six times and perform one hundred and eight long bows, you If the old man is dissatisfied, then my knocking on the head is not in vain.
Isn't it in vain? The voice said with a smile but not a smile: "Hmph, it's up to you whether you do it or not. It's you who want to see me, not me who wants to see you." "
Xiao Yunfan rolled his eyes and said: "It is true that the junior wants to see the senior, but the senior's request is a bit too much. The senior might as well show the demeanor of a master, so that the junior can be convinced!" The man on the beam said:
"Oh, you don't have to worry about using provoking methods to make me show up, or I won't be fooled by you. If you are asked to kowtow, you kowtow, and if you are asked to bow, you will bow. When you have finished kowtowing, you will also bow. It's over, I'll show up on my own. You guys brought these two bald donkeys to Xuannv Palace to help Girl Jiang grind noodles, right?
If so, I will make the decision for Girl Jiang and send these two bald donkeys away. As the saying goes, a lazy ass grinds its hands and urinates a lot. Xuannv Palace is a clean place where my daughter lives, and we cannot let them dirty it. "
Hearing this, even though the two eminent monks were well-educated, they couldn't help but get angry. Jiang Hanyue was amused in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.
Master Zhicheng stood up and said loudly: "If the monk is a bald donkey, then you are just a mouse." The man on the beam sneered: "Humph! Bald donkey, please be more careful with your mouth. This is Xuannv Palace, not Dajue Temple. ." Master Zhicheng said angrily: "What about Xuannv Palace? Palace Master Jiang has not yet issued an order to expel guests, and you, an outsider, are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks!"
In the main hall, the atmosphere was solemn. Jiang Hanyue wanted to dissuade him, but couldn't think of the right words for a while.
Such bickering seemed to Xiao Yunfan to be of no use. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly jumped up onto the beam.
That old man was none other than Feng Miaoqing. She has been greatly favored by Xue Lanyi, and only by protecting Xuannv Palace can she be able to deal with her benefactor. She never expected that Xiao Yunfan would come here and the two of them would meet in this way.
Xiao Yunfan looked at the other person, but felt an indescribable feeling of familiarity in his heart. At that moment, he whispered in a harmonious voice: "That day in front of Dajue Temple, if it hadn't been for the help of senior, this kid's life would have been ruined. This time I went up the mountain just to find out the whereabouts of senior so that I can repay him."
Feng Miaoqing sat down cross-legged and said, "There is no need for repayment. As long as you don't come to trouble Girl Jiang, I will let you go down the mountain. Now that you have met my people, you are satisfied."
Xiao Yunfan also sat down and said with a smile: "Senior, why do you reject people thousands of miles away? Now that the power of righteousness is declining, people like senior should stand up and work for the benefit of the martial arts. I have a merciless request for you, senior. promise."
Feng Miaoqing stretched his waist and said: "I am lazy by nature. The martial arts righteousness has no control over the overall situation of the world, nor does it want to." Xiao Yunfan Xiao Yunfan sighed and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity."
Feng Miaoqing intercepted his words and said: "What a pity. I don't want to care about it. What does the life and death of those people in the world have to do with me? Those great principles you said, to make others happy, are worthless to me. " Seeing the other party's sarcastic remarks, Xiao Yunfan knew that if he continued speaking, he would only be asking for trouble.
At that moment, he cupped his hands and said: "Well, everyone has their own ambitions. Since the senior is unwilling to help, the junior will naturally not force it. If the senior encounters any troubles in the future, just send someone to greet the junior, junior??????? ??????????You should do your best.”
Feng Miaoqing waved his hand and said: "Okay, since you said so, I won't be polite. Please take these two bald donkeys away quickly, they will not feel comfortable staying here for a moment longer." Xiao Yunfan shook his head helplessly. He shook his head and jumped from the crossbar.
Jiang Hanyue stepped forward and apologized: "Master Xiao, two masters, this senior..." Xiao Yunfan touched his nose and said: "Palace Master Jiang, there is no need to say more, we will go down the mountain right now. In a few days , friends from all over the world have gathered together to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy. Please be sure to attend the appointment." Jiang Hanyue cupped her hands and said, "I will abide by the decree of the leader of the alliance. Hanyue will attend the meeting at that time."
Xiao Yunfan glanced at the two monks. They were dissatisfied, but they had no choice but to follow him down the mountain. Looking at Xiao Yunfan's retreating back, Feng Miaoqing felt disappointed. After seeing off Xiao Yunfan, Jiang Hanyue returned to the main hall. Feng Miaoqing was nowhere to be found. She only asked a disciple to send a message saying that she had important things to do these days and would meet later.
On the avenue, a carriage drove slowly, with a cloud of dust and smoke rising from the rear of the carriage. In the car, the three of them were silent for a while. Master Zhicheng asked, "Leader, when will we leave to go back to Dajue Temple?" Xiao Yunfan pressed his hand on his temple and said, "Let's wait for three days." He opened the car curtain, looked out of the car, and fell into deep thought again.
In a monastery on Bixin Island, Immortal Miao was playing the piano. Two maids stood behind him, their eyes full of joy, completely immersed in the sound of the piano. At this time, a figure flashed into the courtyard in front of the monastery. Miao Xianren pressed the strings, opened his eyes slightly and said, "You are back, why are you standing outside?"
At this time, a thin-faced man walked into the room, and Miao Xianren asked the maid to pour a cup of tea. After drinking tea, the man wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, it's the Master's birthday on the first day of next month. I have already made arrangements for what you asked your subordinates to do." Miao Xian said: "Very good. Way. Yang, please go down, and these two maids will give it to you." The man said with a happy face, "Thank you, Lord!"
After the three people left, Miao Xianren stood up and walked to the courtyard. He raised his head and looked at the blue sky, and said to himself: "I have been playing this game of chess for twenty years. It's time to end it!"
