But as soon as Chu Xiuyang said these words, both the two busy disciples and the unreasonable women looked this way, and these people suddenly became the target of public criticism.
Unexpectedly, what Chu Xiuyang said was not interesting enough, so she opened her eyes wide, fluttered her sleeves angrily, threw away Chu Wenze's hand, took a few steps forward, stood opposite the women, and said: "What kind of sect is the Fuyao Sect? Is it possible that they would still deceive you? I said it was an emergency, but you still wanted to go up there. If a demon Xie Chong ran out from somewhere and was being hunted by someone, you would run up there too. Are you looking for death?"
The women were startled by Chu Xiuyang's aura, but they immediately discovered that this woman was standing alone talking to them. The seated woman suddenly stood up and took two steps in three steps. He came in front of her and cursed: "You little girl with yellow hair, what do you know? When my sisters are talking, why is it your turn to interrupt? Go away!"
After saying that, the woman took a step forward, stretched out her hand and pushed forward, and actually wanted to use her hands.
Xu Huaigu laughed secretly in his heart. This woman knew how to behave and roll around when she saw someone who was better than her, and when she saw someone who was not as good as her, she would rush to do something.
But Chu Xiuyang had practiced martial arts, so how could that woman be her opponent? Chu Xiuyang just thought that he had no place to use his skills and wanted to show off his skills, but the martial arts master named Cai stepped forward, drew a long knife, and protected Chu Xiuyang.
When the woman saw the bright long knife placed a few inches away from her eyes, she was so frightened that her feet went weak. She took her hand back and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Although Chu Xiuyang was a little dissatisfied with Grandmaster Cai's action on her behalf, he still helped her vent her anger and said proudly: "Grandmaster Cai, what crime should she be punished according to the laws of Fusang Kingdom for attacking this princess? ?」
Grandmaster Cai replied: "At least he can be imprisoned in Tianlao for three months."
When the woman heard what the princess said about "Tianlao March", her face turned even paler. Seeing that Chu Xiuyang was acting like a princess again, Chu Wenze hurriedly stepped forward to pull her back and persuaded her in a low voice: "Have you forgotten what my father said when we came out? Even if you reveal a huge trap, , and our identities must not be revealed!"
Chu Xiuyang held back her breath, puffed out her cheeks, and began to feel unhappy again.
Chu Wenze stepped forward and said to the woman: "As you can see, I really have something urgent to do today and can't go up the steps. My sister has a really bad temper and doesn't have a clear way of speaking. The princess I said before is just talking nonsense. Yes, please bear with me."
When the woman saw that the brother and sister had good temperaments and were guarded, she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart. But since others gave her a way out, she just went with the flow and said, "That's all, just think that I came here for free! Can't I just leave?"
The woman snorted and strode away. Seeing that she gave up, the others lost interest and followed her away in a swarm, leaving Xu Huaigu and his party behind.
It's just that the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. The good person had already secretly memorized Chu Xiuyang's appearance and the word princess she said. Sometimes such small things can cause the most trouble, as Xu Huaigu knows very well. We were still in Lucheng at that time, and if Kong Xiong hadn't leaked Xu Huaigu's identity to the storyteller in Shi Yeping, he would have avoided a lot of trouble later.
Seeing that the chaos had been calmed down, the two disciples quickly smiled and bowed to several people, saying, "Thank you all for helping me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here."
I really don’t know how to deal with them! "
Chu Xiu's eyebrows danced with joy and she said, "I've seen this kind of people a lot. I don't have the skills to do anything. I'm just bullying you so you don't dare to do anything. As long as you show them some true colors, they won't dare to be arrogant." "
After the two disciples thanked the group, they said to them: "Are you also here to play on the stage? If so, I think you are reasonable people, so please come another day."
Chu Wenze said politely: "We are not here for fun, but to go to Fuyao Sect for something. We have already made an agreement with the leader of your sect. Please help me convey this to the two immortals. Thank you for your help."
The two disciples looked confused at first and looked at each other. One of them immediately said, "Since it has something to do with the sect master, it must be a big deal, so I'll just go there."
The man raised his sword and prepared to go up the mountain
, but there was a sword light falling on the mountain, and a white-haired elder came with a sword, followed by several handsome sword-wielding disciples, and landed in front of a group of people.
The elder looked at the Chu brothers and sisters, naturally he knew them well, but when he looked at Xu Huaigu, his expression changed drastically, and Xu Huaigu's expression was also shocked.
What a coincidence, this person is exactly the elder Chen who led the Fuyao Sect disciples to find trouble in Qingfeng Valley during the Taoist meeting! No wonder Xu Huaigu knew him.
Xu Huaigu looked strange, quite a bit smiling. It seems that Elder Chen really didn't get any good results after he returned. In two years, he has changed from an elder who leads the younger generation of Fuyao Sect to an elder who treats guests. He must have been affected by Yin Zishi's participation.
When Elder Chen saw that it was Xu Huaigu, he felt very embarrassed. It was difficult to say those embarrassing things openly, so he did not look at Xu Huaigu, but said to Chu Wenze and Chu Xiuyang: "Your Highnesses, the sect master has been waiting for a long time. Please let me take you two up the mountain. Just rest."
Xu Huaigu suddenly realized and nodded slightly. Hearing Elder Chen address Chu Wenze and Chu Xiuyang as His Royal Highness, he was now almost certain that one of them should be a prince and the other a princess. However, Xu Huaigu was still unclear about the purpose of the two coming.
Chu Wenze smiled like a spring breeze and said, "Thank you, elder."
Chu Xiuyang looked at the sword-wielding disciples curiously, thinking that she would be able to use the sword later. This was a new thing that she had never done before. After all, she was still a playful person. But as soon as she heard her brother thank her, she quickly reacted and thanked her in a hurry.
Elder Chen's temperament was obviously much more restrained than before. He even asked Xu Huaigu carefully: "Do you want me to take you up?"
Xu Huaigu laughed and said, "I dare not sit on Elder Chen's sword. It really breaks my heart."
Chu Wenze was surprised and said to Xu Huaigu, "Do you still know this elder? How about we go up together?"
Xu Huaigu shook his head and refused: "No, it's rare for me to go to Fuyao Sect. I still want to see the steps and plaque, so I'll just walk up."
Chu Wenze said: "Okay, brother Yu, let's take a step forward and see you at the top."
Xu Huaigu nodded. Elder Chen looked strange when he heard Chu Wenze calling him Brother Yu, but he didn't say anything. He told the disciples behind him to pay attention to safety, and then took the two brothers and sisters up the mountain with their swords. However, before Chu Xiuyang left, she looked at Xu Huaigu condescendingly, but Xu Huaigu was too lazy to pay attention to her, which made the little princess a little unhappy.
When the two disciples saw that Elder Chen knew Xu Huaigu, and that he was going to Fuyao Sect to do business, they let him go, and Xu Huaigu walked up the steps step by step towards the mountain.
This long staircase is indeed difficult to climb. It is said that there are more than a thousand steps, but each step is very high, as high as a calf. It is estimated that an ordinary person would be out of breath after climbing dozens of steps. No wonder Chu Xiuyang said those scholars could not climb up. But Xu Huaigu was different. He was already in the sixth realm, so climbing the stairs was no problem.
It was already past noon, and if you wanted to enter the Fuyao Sect before night came, you had to work harder, Xu Huaigu thought and quickened his pace.
In the midst of this beautiful mountain forest, not long after walking up, coniferous trees such as pines and cypresses have replaced the deciduous forest at the foot of the mountain, and a stream of spring water flows down from between the two peaks. When Xu Huaigu is in it, the crisp sound of spring water hitting rocks, the chirping of birds in the shadow of the woods, and the rustling of pines and cypresses in the mountain wind are like fairy music.
Fortunately, the steps were closed today. Otherwise, if it were normal times and there would be so much noise, how could we get this natural sound?
Xu Huaigu walked in this fresh environment, as if all the fatigue in his body had been washed away. While he was enjoying it, he walked towards the higher steps.
But after walking for a while, he discovered that there seemed to be some clues on the steps.
The steps were supposed to be snow-white white marble, but as he went up, there seemed to be traces of red oozing out from one place on the steps, which made him puzzled.
Seeing that there was no one around, he squatted down, rubbed the red area with his fingers, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
The slight red color on the steps was mixed with a fishy smell, which Xu Huaigu was all too familiar with.
Human blood.
He stood up and looked up higher, only to see that there was such a slight blood stain on every step without exception.
The bloodstains on the steps sounded a bit disturbing, but in this Fuyao Sect territory, how could any ghost dare to cause trouble? Xu Huaigu felt very strange. It happened that the Fuyao Sect had sealed the steps today. Could it be that there was something going on here that cannot be told outside?
Thinking of this, Xu Huaigu lost his mood to appreciate the scenery. He immediately jumped up and ran up the mountain quickly, wanting to take a closer look.
Walking further up, I saw no tourists, but I saw a few disciples coming down the mountain, holding a handkerchief in their hands, and wiping the blood stains step by step from top to bottom.
Xu Huaigu stepped forward and asked curiously: "Fellow Taoists, what happened here? Why are there blood stains on the steps?"
When those disciples heard that Xu Huaigu addressed himself as a Taoist friend instead of a fellow disciple, and that he was not a disciple of the sect, they immediately became vigilant and asked, "Weren't the steps already sealed? How did you get in?"
Xu Huaigu said kindly: "I came to Fuyao Sect to find some old friends. I met Elder Chen at the foot of the mountain. I happened to know him, so the gatekeeper disciple let me in."
Those disciples suddenly realized, and sighed again and said: "It turns out they are acquaintances of our sect, so that's okay. Alas, when it comes to the blood stains on the steps, it's not really a big deal, but it's really troublesome. I can't say no in a few words. Qing, you might as well go up the mountain and you will find out."
Xu Huaigu became even more interested in being betrayed by him. He immediately thanked him and ran up the mountain as fast as he could.
