Needless to say, the woman with a cold face was Xie Qingyun. She definitely didn't arrive just now, but she only took action when she saw that the matter was difficult to end.
When the white-bearded old man who was reading saw that Xie Qingyun was here, he refused to give up and said: "This is a good seedling cultivated in your valley! He deliberately injured Ye Leng of our sect so that he could not participate in the Taoist meeting." , is this how Qingfeng Valley disciplines sword cultivators?" Xie Qingyun looked ugly and said: "Although he is not our disciple of Qingfeng Valley, but he stands up for Qingfeng Valley, so I have to protect him! What happened today is all because of You started the provocation first, what else is there to say? If you are not used to our behavior in Qingfeng Valley, just leave. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" The white-bearded old man snorted coldly and said: "What's the big deal? Just leave. ! Let’s leave now, who wants to stay here!” Xie Qingyun said coldly: “I won’t send you off.” The old man with a white beard waved his hand, and the disciples of the Fuyao Sect immediately picked up Ye Leng and followed him. However, Yin Zushi still sat on the chair and did not move.
The old man with the white beard was furious and was about to ask him why he didn't leave. Yin Zushi stood up, cupped his hands and said to Xie Qingyun: "Xie Guzhu, it is indeed our Fuyao Sect who was at fault for this incident in the restaurant. I have known this for a long time. , but Elder Chen insisted on having his own way, so I had no choice but to follow him. After returning to the sect this time, I will definitely report the matter to the sect master, hoping that the valley master can calm down." Xie Qingyun saw Yin Zushi act like this , asked doubtfully: "So, you still want to stay in Qingfeng Valley?" Yin Zushi nodded and said: "When I was leaving the sect, someone asked me to bring some words to Xu Huaigu, so I want to stay in Qingfeng Valley Stay one more night." Xu Huaigu raised his eyebrows in confusion, thinking who else in the Fuyao Sect would bring a message to him?
Could it be Deng Zhiyuan? Xie Qingyun seemed to admire Yin Zishi quite a lot, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, if you want to stay, you can stay. But for the rest of you, our Qingfeng Valley is small and we can't keep these big Buddhas, so please leave." Na Bai The old man with a beard panicked when he heard Yin Zishi's words. He didn't dare to get angry at Yin Zishishi because Yin Zishishi wouldn't let him go. He was very embarrassed for a while.
Yin Zushi said to the rest of the Fuyao Sect: "Then as the Xie Valley Master said, you can leave first. I will stay in Qingfeng Valley for one night and come to see you tomorrow." The old man with the white beard had lost all face and wanted to leave quickly. After hearing what Yin Zushi said, he immediately strode away with the other three people, leaving Yin Zushi alone among the Qingfeng Valley disciples.
Yin Zushi was not afraid of embarrassment, and said to the people around him: "What happened tonight is because I, Yin Zushi, am sorry to all my Qingfeng Valley colleagues. If I could have a tougher attitude, Elder Chen would not come to stir up trouble. Everyone is drinking tonight, and all the bills will be charged to me, Yin Zishi, as an apology to everyone." There were boos in the restaurant, and someone said in a bad tone: "Just because you want to invite us to drink, who cares? Anyway, you want to invite us to drink. I can't drink this wine!" As these words fell, many people agreed, and everyone in Qingfeng Valley lost interest in drinking and left the restaurant one after another.
As a result, the place became deserted, with only Xu Huaigu, Yin Zushi and Liu Waner left, and even An Xiaoyu left.
Xu Huaigu and Yin Zushi looked at him sideways from a distance and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." Yin Zushi said, "It's not convenient here, so let's take a step to talk." Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "You don't want to invite me." Do you drink? Why, it doesn’t count when you come to my place?” Yin Zushi laughed and said, “What do you mean, fellow Taoist Xu, just drink tonight and I’ll treat you.” Xu Huaigu nodded and said, “Just talk while drinking.” He also You're welcome, he ordered several jars of the most expensive wine in one breath, and sat next to Liu Waner. Yin Zashi also sat over and asked Xu Huaigu: "Who is this?" Xu Huaigu said bluntly: "This is a friend of mine. If you have anything to say, speak directly. That is to say, there is no need to hide anything from her." Yin Zizhi smiled meaningfully, obviously misunderstanding Liu Wan'er as Xu Huaigu's Taoist companion, and then he said: "Actually, this time it is Deng Zhiyuan and Deng Da from our Fuyao Sect. The elder asked me to bring you a few words." As expected, Xu Huaigu nodded silently, but was a little curious about what Deng Zhiyuan would say to him.
Yin Zushi continued: "Actually, Elder Deng has always been thinking about you. A few days ago, all the major sects reported the names of the disciples who participated in the Taoist meeting. Only then did Elder Deng realize that you were also in it. She had some words I want to tell you." He lowered his voice: "It has something to do with the incident in your hometown." Xu Huaigu was shocked and realized that Liu Waner must not know about this.
Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have left Qingfeng Valley and gone to Middle-earth, but it was too dangerous to stay in East Fuyao Continent, and Xu Huaigu didn't want her to take the risk.
Xu Huaigu quickly sent a message to Yin Zushi: "Let's talk here." Yin Zushi smiled, picked up a bowl of wine, and brought it to his mouth. On the surface, he seemed to be brewing what he wanted to say, but in fact, he was already talking to Xu Huaigu through the appearance of drinking. Had a conversation.
"The Great Elder wants me to tell you that according to reliable information, the demon invasion will come faster than we imagined. In about five or six years, chaos will break out. Also, Zhang Xiaohe, your childhood playmate, is no longer in Qing Dynasty. The mountain is dead, and no one knows his whereabouts. This matter may not be a big deal, but it is definitely a small matter. You must be vigilant." The following words have nothing to do with the demon clan, so Yin Zushi said it directly: " The great elder said that the promises made in Binxi in the past few years are still final. As long as you come to Fuyao Sect, the great elder promised to accept you as a disciple." Xu Huaigu finally heard such affirmative words, and he was happy in his heart, but he did not show it. .
Yin Zishi thought he was disappointed with Fuyao Sect's performance tonight, so he explained: "Actually, the atmosphere in the sect is not like this in normal times, but the elder Chen who took the lead this time was originally a harsh and mean person, and he is an elder after all. , has a high status, and no one in our group can suppress him, that's why he is like this. You know the temperament of the Great Elder, please don't be disappointed in our Fuyao Sect." Xu Huaigu didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescing to Yin Zishi's words.
Liu Waner just kept listening and said nothing. Although it was indeed surprising to know that Deng Zhiyuan wanted to accept Xu Huaigu as his disciple, Liu Waner did not show it.
The three of them drank in this deserted restaurant. Because they didn't know each other very well and had nothing to say, everyone was thinking about their own things.
Xu Huaigu suddenly thought of the hosta in Yu Qin's hand. Zuo Qiuxun once said that there was a trace of Fuyao Sect's sword intention in it. He wanted to know the origin of the hosta, maybe Yin Zizhen would know something about it.
He asked: "Fellow Daoist Yin, has your Fuyao Sect ever had a lost hosta?" Yin Zizhi was confused by this question and asked strangely: "What hosta? There are so many people in the sect. Although I have seen few of them, there are indeed some. The female swordsman puts a jade hairpin into her hair, why do you ask?"
"I'm not talking about ordinary hostas. For example, are there any hostas like spiritual weapons and magic weapons?" Yin Zashi thought carefully. After a while, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he suddenly said: "When you say that, I still think about it." I did hear something about the hosta, but that was decades ago. I heard it from elsewhere. It was said that a monk from China once did a great favor to our Fuyao Sect. The sect master was so grateful that he gave a handful of hostas as a token of trust, and he would definitely return them in the future. It seems that no one has ever taken the hosta back over the years. That hosta also has a name, called Mingxin Hosta. You Is this what you're talking about?" Xu Huaigu frowned and said, "I'm not sure either. Can you come with me back to the bamboo house where I live, and I'll show it to you." Yin Zushi nodded in agreement, and the group packed up. With the remaining wine, Liu Waner knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she didn't bother and went home first.
However, even though she has been accepted as the direct descendant of the Ancestral Master Hall, Liu Waner still lives in the original bamboo house and has not moved into Xiaoluoxia Peak.
According to her, she just got used to it and didn't want to change. Remembering the origin of Yu Qin's hosta, Xu Huaigu quickly took Yin Zushi to the bamboo house where Yu Qin lived.
Although it was getting late, Yu Qin and Zuo Qiuxun were still awake, so Xu Huaigu welcomed Yin Zashi in and introduced him to them.
Zuo Qiuxun actually remembered Yin Zishi. When she first came to East Fuyao Continent a few years ago, the first sect she went to was Fuyao Sect.
She stayed in Fuyao Sect for a while and heard that Fuyao Sect had a genius named Yin Zushi.
Unexpectedly, just a few years later, Yin Zushi was already at the peak of the fifth realm, just a little lower than Zuo Qiuxun, which made her feel a little emotional.
After explaining the purpose of his visit, Zuo Qiuxun was also very curious about the hosta, so he also agreed with Xu Huaigu and wanted to know the origin of the hosta, so Yu Qin took out the hosta from the beautiful brocade bag.
The hosta is round and crystal clear, as if it were made entirely from nature. It is not carved but has a soul-stirring beauty.
As soon as Yin Zushi saw the hosta, he immediately realized that this hosta was anything but ordinary. After careful investigation, it was found that the Fuyao Sect sword intention inside was also true, which further confirmed the guesses of Xu Huaigu and Yin Zishi.
This hosta is most likely the one that the Fuyao Sect sent out for decades without any news. Xu Huaigu and Yin Zushi looked at each other, and Yin Zushi said to Yu Qin: "Where did you get this hosta?" Yu Qin lowered his head and said a little disappointed: "My father gave it to me before he left. He said it was My mother left it to me."
"Then do you know your mother's identity?" Yu Qin shook his head and said, "My mother left me when I was very young. I don't know who she is." Yin Zushi looked at Xu Huaigu, wondering what he would do explain.
Xu Huaigu still remembered that Yu An said at that time that this hosta was an opportunity for Yu Qin to embark on a spiritual path in the future.
He must have known for a long time that this hosta was unusual. It was almost certain that this hosta was the one from the Fuyao Sect.
As for Yu Qin's mother, she probably has a more mysterious identity and cannot meet her daughter. Xu Huaigu and Zuo Qiuxun both thought of one thing.
Do you want Yu Qin to embark on a path of spiritual practice? For Zuo Qiuxun, she hoped that Yu Qin could practice cultivation as soon as possible.
After all, she is a monk, and she knows that although Yu Qin has been in contact with them for a long time, she cannot truly integrate into the world of monks because she has no practice.
If Yu Qin wants to stay with Xu Huaigu for a long time, practice is essential. Xu Huaigu also knew this, but he had some selfish motives. He was afraid that after Yu Qin started practicing, he would be like Liu Waner, losing the innocence and liveliness that a girl should have.
He just felt a little sorry that Liu Waner had become like this, but what about Yu Qin? Is it just as simple as regret?
He was a little undecided.
