About a month later, the grand and spacious Huangyu Square in front of the Huangyu Palace was very lively, with a large number of Huangsheng Sect disciples gathered. It was heard that the psychic warship built by the sect in the East Water Alliance in Beihai Prefecture would return to the mountain gate today.
The master of the sect, Sheng Yi Zhenren, even personally led a group of Xuanzimai disciples to line up in the square waiting to welcome them.
The sect disciples who came to watch the excitement stood around the corners of Huangyu Square. The sect's war equipment, which was comparable to magic weapons, such as the psychic battleship, was rarely displayed in front of ordinary disciples. As soon as the news came out, This attracted a large number of good people to watch.
In the waiting team, the leader of the clan, Sheng Yi Zhenren, stood at the front with a calm expression, followed by Xuanmu Zhenren's double monk, Xuanzhao Taoist Zhou Lutong.
Then came the disciples and grandsons of Master Xuanmu, and the sixth disciple, Fairy Xuanqing, dressed in red, led the team. Except for the Taoist Xuanbei who had not returned, Fairy Xuanqing was already the senior sister of Xuanzimai.
There were more than two hundred people in the welcoming team. Liu Yue'er led Su Mu, and Tang Zhi and several disciples were also among them, standing at the back of the team with their heads eagerly awaiting.
Tang Zhi's palms couldn't help sweating, and he looked towards the horizon from time to time. At the same time, he thought about what he should say when he saw his senior brother, and his cheeks couldn't help but blush.
"Sister Zhi, do you think Master will bring us a gift? I heard that it's very cold in the North, and the leather is good!" Seeing Sister Zhi's nervous look, Liu Yuer deliberately joked.
"Don't make trouble!" Tang Zhi couldn't help but smile bitterly. In his last reply, his senior brother indeed said that when he returned to the sect, he would bring them some specialties from the North.
"Here we come!" At this moment, Master Sheng Yi smiled and whispered.
"Look! That!" After a moment, the sharp-eyed person pointed excitedly to the horizon and exclaimed.
In the vast sea of clouds in the distance, I saw a huge ice crystal warship, like an icy luan soaring high in the sky, breaking through the clouds and flying towards Huangyu Square, attracting all the sect disciples who came to watch. Looking up, he looked excited and talked a lot.
Soon, the Ice Luan battleship was hovering directly over Huangyu Square, and a group of guard disciples, led by Master Xuanmu, filed down from the Ice Crystal battleship.
With a smile on his face, Master Sheng Yi led many disciples behind him and immediately stepped forward to greet him. The disciples looking around also rushed forward, feeling very happy for a moment.
"Xuanmu pays homage to the sect leader!" Master Xuanmu bowed his hands and bowed.
"Junior brother, thank you for your hard work!" Master Sheng Yi stepped forward and kindly helped Master Xuanmu up and said.
"But traveling to the North for the sect is not considered hard work!" Master Xuanmu replied politely.
"Back!" Xuan Zhaodao stepped forward to greet him with a spring breeze on his face.
"Where's tomorrow?" Master Xuanmu nodded and asked casually.
"Second uncle passed away and you didn't come back, so you asked Ming'er to go in your place and he hasn't come back yet!" Taoist Xuan Zhao explained that the Ming'er they mentioned was Xuan Ming, the son of Xuan Mu, who had already established seven foundations. Mansion cultivation base.
Taoist Xuanming was the second child of the couple. The eldest daughter had no spiritual roots and died young. After having this son, the couple never had any more children.
…
After returning from a trip to Beihai, the accompanying disciples and the relatives and friends who came to greet them were chatting and laughing in the square. It was a happy scene. Tang Zhi and Liu Yue'er had anxious looks on their faces, and they looked up at the hanging sky from time to time. Ice battleship.
"Sister Zhi, why don't you see Master?" Liu Yue'er couldn't help but frowning and asked.
"Let's go!" Tang Zhi, who had not seen his senior brother Liu Yu for a long time, was anxious and anxious. He gritted his teeth, led Liu Yue'er and others, and ran towards Master Xuanmu, who was chatting happily with him.
"Disciple Xuanzhi, pay your respects to the master!" Tang Zhi could no longer care about anything else at this time. He led several people to rush forward and kneel down, interrupting the conversation between the sect master and Master Xuanmu.
"What's the matter!" Master Xuanmu couldn't help but frown. He had some impressions of this woman, but there were many disciples in the Xuanzi lineage. For a moment, Xuanmu couldn't remember who this woman was, but he rashly came forward to disturb his conversation with the sect master. Xingling Xuanmu was a little unhappy.
"Senior brother Xuanyu was ordered to stay in Beihai Prefecture for a hundred years. I heard that he has returned with his master. I don't know why I still haven't seen him today?" Tang Zhi heard the unhappiness in Xuanmu's tone and asked anxiously.
"Xuanbei! It's up to you to decide this matter!" Master Xuanmu called Taoist Xuanbei to the side.
"Master Nephew, please get up quickly!" Taoist Xuanbei looked troubled and motioned for Tang Zhi and others to get up.
"Uncle Xuanbei, where is my senior brother?" Tang Zhi asked quickly.
"Unfortunately, Uncle Xuanyu died of illness on his way home. His body has been cremated, and his ashes are in this jade altar." Xuanbei Taoist took out a white jade altar with a heavy face and sighed.
"Senior brother, he..." After hearing the bad news, Tang Zhi felt his eyes darken.
"Sister Zhi!" Liu Yue'er hurriedly supported Tang Zhi who was about to faint.
"Uncle Master, please tell me the cause of Master's death." Master was well, how could he die suddenly? Liu Yuer'er burst into tears and asked immediately.
"Hey! Follow me to the Soul-Yining Valley first, and scatter the ashes of Xuanyu's nephew into the valley." Xuanbei Taoist sighed, but did not answer, and handed the jade altar containing the ashes to Tang Zhi hand, and then summoned the flying sword, taking the lead to fly towards Jin Aofeng.
"Senior brother!" Tang Zhi's eyes were red, holding the jade altar tightly in his arms, and couldn't help crying.
"Sister Zhi, let's go!" Liu Yue'er endured her grief, supported Tang Zhi, lifted her sword into the air, and Su Mu and other disciples followed Taoist Xuanbei and flew to the Soul-Guiding Valley at the top of Jin'ao Peak.
This scene caused the surrounding sect disciples to whisper. As the sect master and Elder Xuanmu entered the Huangyu Palace, after the Ice Luan battleship flew away from Huangyu Square, the gathered sect disciples also dispersed. Soon Huangyu Square was Return to the peace of the past.
…
There is a deep valley on one side of Jin'ao Peak, and the valley is filled with bunches of gorgeous purple flower buds. As the mountain wind slowly sways, a jade altar falls from the canyon, stirring up a burst of dust and mist, causing the flower buds to bloom instantly, and the petals bloom. Stretching, greedily sucking in the falling ashes.
Tang Zhi knelt down weakly on a rock in the canyon. Her tears had long been shed, and she stared blankly at the sea of flowers below. How could this happen? Senior brother wrote well last time. What happened on the way home?
"Uncle, senior brother, how did he die?" Tang Zhi asked silently.
"I have something to say to your master, I want you to step back!" Xuan Bei did not answer immediately, but opened his mouth and dismissed Su Mu and several other disciples.
"Master?" Su Mu looked at Master Liu Yue'er helplessly.
"You guys go back first!" Liu Yuer said weakly.
"Master, uncle, please tell me the cause of master's death." After Su Mu and others left, Liu Yue'er asked again.
"Actually, Junior Brother Xuanyu is not dead!" Xuan Bei glanced around and after confirming that no one was around, the look of sadness on his face disappeared and he said calmly.
"Uncle Master, what did you just say?" Tang Zhi immediately raised his head and asked.
"Senior Nephew Xuanyu offended a major force in the North. In order to protect himself, he had to fabricate the news of his death. In fact, although Senior Nephew Xuanyu was injured in an attack on his way back, his injuries were not serious!" Tang Zhi and Liu Yue'er looked at each other with doubts, and Xuan Bei explained.
"What was that jade altar just now?" Tang Zhi couldn't help but ask.
"What's inside is just the skeleton and ashes of a spiritual beast!" Xuan Bei said with a sly smile.
"Where's Master, Master? Where are you now?" Liu Yue'er immediately asked.
"Uncle Xuanyu doesn't know where he is now, but he should have returned to Yunzhou."
Xuan Bei shook his head, and then continued: "When the three sects' fleet arrived at Yuecheng, Senior Nephew Xuanyu was secretly attacked. Later, he separated from the fleet in Yuecheng and returned to Yunzhou alone on a passing merchant ship."
"Master, everything is fine, that's great!"
"Senior brother, I hope everything is fine. When will he return to the sect?" Tang Zhi and Liu Yue'er wiped away their tears and hurriedly asked.
"Although the news of Senior Nephew Xuanyu's fake death has been conveyed to the outside world, which is enough to deceive the other party, the power that Junior Nephew has offended is too powerful. In order to avoid extraneous matters, Senior Nephew Xuanyu cannot show up for the time being, nor can he return to the mountain gate. The eyes and ears of the mountain gate are too complicated. Xuan Bei took a deep breath and said helplessly.
"Then what should senior brother do? Where can he go?" Tang Zhi was relieved, but when he heard what Senior Uncle Xuanbei said, he felt anxious again.
"Don't worry, Master, he has found a good job for Junior Xuanyu, and he has a place to go." Xuan Bei gave the two women a reassuring look and said.
"What's the errand?" Liu Yuer asked hurriedly.
"The specific errand is related to the secrets of the sect. I can't tell you in detail, but I can tell you that the place where nephew Xuanyu went to work this time is in the "Shadow Ghost Forest" on the border of Gao Cang Kingdom." Xuan Bei Said slowly.
"Shadow Ghost Forest?" Tang Zhi and Liu Yue'er looked at each other. Neither of them had heard of this place. Gao Cangguo knew that his senior brother had gone there to serve as a heavenly master. He had told them that the two women had a deep feeling in their hearts. Make up your mind to find out where this place is later.
"Then can disciple and Yue'er go and see senior brother?" Tang Zhi asked eagerly.
"It's still in the limelight now, so you'd better not go looking for Senior Nephew Xuanyu, and only a few people know about this news. You must keep it a secret, so as not to let the news get out and put Senior Nephew Xuanyu in danger." Bei quickly said solemnly.
Later, he was afraid that the two of them would not know the seriousness of the matter, so he patiently explained to them in detail how Liu Yu offended the Zine family in the North. At the same time, he also introduced the power of the Holy Whale clan of the Eastern Water Alliance.
He also talked about the thrilling scene in which Liu Yu was killed by a curse from the air on his way back, and asked the two of them to keep it secret. In recent years, they have pretended that Liu Yu was really killed and put on some false appearances to the outside world.
"Disciple knows!" After listening to this, Tang Zhi and Liu Yue'er looked sad. The senior brother had never mentioned these dangers in his replies over the years. They nodded repeatedly, indicating that they knew that they would pretend to be in front of others in the future. Feelings of grief.
"Once you have escaped the limelight, after a while, if you miss her very much, you can go and see each other in private." Seeing that the two of them knew that the matter was important, Xuan Bei said slowly.
"How long will it take?" Tang Zhi and Liu Yuer asked at the same time.
"Logically speaking, the Nazne family will not pay too much attention to the death of Senior Nephew Xuanyu. After about ten years, no one will pay attention to this matter anymore. Of course, for safety reasons, the longer it takes , then no one will think of this matter." Xuan Bei said comfortingly.
"That's right! This storage bag was given to you by Senior Nephew Xuanyu. It contains some letters, specialties from the North brought to you by Senior Nephew Xuanyu, and a "Jiazi Snow Fruit" left for you. It’s yours, nephew Xuanzhi.”
"This fruit is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. It was brought out from the secret realm of the East Water Alliance by Xuanyu's nephew. Swallowing it can increase your cultivation level by about a mile. It is extremely rare. It is best to refine it early to avoid losing the medicinal power." Bei took out a storage bag and warned.
"This fruit is too valuable for Zhi'er to harvest!" Tang Zhi immediately shook his head.
"Senior Nephew Xuanyu has already taken one, but the medicinal power of this fruit has been greatly reduced for him. Moreover, this is something that Senior Nephew Xuanyu specially asked me to hand over to you personally. As for whether you swallow it and refine it, , it’s up to you to decide whether to hand it back to nephew Xuanyu.”
"Listen to my uncle, this is my nephew Xuanyu's wish. Don't live up to it and refine it as soon as possible." Xuan Bei advised earnestly.
"Senior brother!" Tang Zhi's eyes couldn't help but moisten again, but it was not sadness, but emotion.
