After Huan Xin arrived in Sichuan, as soon as he got off the train and walked out of the station, a short but delicate-looking young girl came over.
"You must be Uncle Qi!" the woman said, looking at Huan Xin and blinking her watery eyes.
When Huan Xin heard the woman calling him uncle, he was also stunned. He thought to himself, why did he get promoted at his seniority? That means she must be from the Xue family in Sichuan!
"Yes, I am Qi Huanxin, you are from the Xue family, right?"
The woman smiled and stretched out her hand to Huan Xin and said: "The Xue family of the Eighteenth Gate, Xue Xiaoqing"
Huan Xin shook Xue Xiaoqing's hand naturally, and then asked seriously: "What problem did your Xue family encounter?"
Xue Xiaoqing didn't seem to expect that Huan Xin got into the topic without saying a few words during the meeting. His expression was a little unnatural for a moment, and then he looked around and said, "The car to pick you up is parked opposite. Why don't we talk while walking on the road!"
Huan Xin had almost no contact with people from the Eighteen Sects. Except for the time when she was besieged by others and met Wu Yousan, the head of the Wu family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who opened the way to the underworld for herself, she also only came into contact with a man who claimed to be Nineteenth. People who live in the sect still have fresh memories of Li Yanfeng Huoxin.
Huan Xin followed Xue Xiaoqing into the car. There was no one else in the car except the driver. Huan Xin actually didn't know much about the Eighteen Sects. He only knew that they were all inherited by the descendants of the former Beiming disciples and formed independent small families.
It can be said to be a product of being attached to Beiming. After all, there are very few people who know Beiming in the Jianghu, let alone the eighteen sects hidden in the entire Jianghu. This may only be done by Beiming's own people. Know.
Although the Eighteen Sects have a close relationship with Beiming, they will not easily bring up Beiming's name to solve problems on weekdays, unless they encounter some difficult things, like Xue this time Like home!
If the people of Beiming need help from the Eighteen Sects for something, they also need a "Qingyu Order" passed down by Beiming's walking disciples. All the Eighteen Sects only recognize orders but not people.
Don't underestimate this token, not everyone can use it. The Qingyu Ling itself is a magic weapon, which has the effect of removing evil and warding off evil spirits. If it is not a direct disciple of Beiming, it is impossible to use the Qingyu Ling.
This token is still in Grandpa's hands. Uncle Qingyun said that Grandpa has traveled around the world for many years but has never used it once. Huan Xin also felt that such a good thing was wasted in the hands of the grandpa. If he had time, he would see if he could get it back from the grandpa, otherwise it would be too much of a waste of natural resources.
In the car, Huanxin asked Xue Xiaoqing again, but she said cryptically that she was young and had little experience in the world, so she was afraid that she would not be able to explain clearly, so she had better wait for Huanxin to meet her grandfather. After Xue Zheng'e, the head of the Xue family, his grandfather would explain it to him. !
So the two of them were silent all the way. Huan Xin felt that the car had been driving for a long time, and finally stopped at a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Huan Xin looked at several houses appearing in front of him and felt that the Xue family was doing well in Sichuan!
Xue Xiaoqing got out of the car and introduced to Huan Xin that the land and mountains he saw now were the property of the Xue family. Huan Xin is not too surprised. After all, these families have a long heritage and have different levels of development. For example, the Liu family in Lingnan is said to have several listed companies today. I guess the Xue family in Sichuan is here. Having taken root in the rich Shu land for many years, it shouldn't be too bad.
Xue Xiaoqing brought her to Zhuangzi in front of her, and stopped in front of a large courtyard. At this time, there were many people standing at the door, and in the middle stood an old man. Although his hair was gray and he was stooped, his eyes were bright. There is still a feeling of having experienced the vicissitudes of life and being accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world.
Huan Xin knew that this person must be Xue Zheng'e, the head of the Xue family!
When he came closer, the old man also threw away his crutches, walked over like Huan Xin with a limp step, raised his hands and saluted Huan Xin: "Xue Zheng'e, the Xue family of the eighteenth sect, has seen the eighty-first generation walking disciple of Beiming! "
Huan Xin hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, and said somewhat flattered: "We are all our own people, so there is no need to be polite, Master Xue."
Then Xue Zheng'e briefly introduced the people behind him to Huan Xin, most of whom were descendants and kin of Xue Zheng'e. After Huan Xin briefly learned about them, he nodded and greeted them one by one, and was then invited into the house by Xue Zheng'e.
After entering the door, Huan Xin was also arranged to sit next to the head of the family. However, many people at the door did not follow him in. The only one who could really enter the main hall was Xue Chuping, the eldest son of Xue Zheng'e. The other Xue family members stood there consciously. Outside the door, their expressions were different after seeing Qing Xin. Some were surprised, some were surprised, and some were incredulous. Qing Xin also took in these details one by one.
Entering the main hall, after Huan Xin and Xue Zheng'e took their seats, Xue Chuping also stood up, closed all the doors and windows, and then stood behind Xue Zheng'e without daring to make any mistakes.
From Huan Xin's perspective, the Xue family's family tradition is still very strict, and everything they do seems to be done in a orderly and orderly manner. So Huan Xin picked up the tea on the coffee table and took a slow sip. Then she just waited for the old Patriarch Xue on the opposite side to speak. If she was too proactive, it would make Beiming's disciples feel a little restless.
Xue Zheng'e also took a good look at Xuan Xin at this time, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Master Nephew Qi, we have heard about some things in the world in recent years, especially the battle at Poyang Lake not long ago. We have no doubt about your strength that the three evil creatures will not fall behind."
Huan Xin just smiled faintly. If it was an outsider, Huan Xin would be polite, but if it was a member of his own family, he would not be so particular about it. He also wanted to know what happened to the Xue family. It seemed It doesn't look like a disaster is imminent.
Then Xue Zheng'e introduced the situation of the Xue family to Huan Xin. He also saw that Huan Xin didn't know much about this aspect, so it was necessary to let Huan Xin know.
It turns out that the Xue family has been a subsidiary family of Beiming since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and can be regarded as a veteran-level existence. At that time, their ancestor was Xue Lingfeng, a disciple of Beiming. Huanxin had also seen this ancestor. According to biography, it is said that this patriarch was also a descendant of Xue Gang, a general of the Tang Dynasty. Later, Xue Gang failed to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and his descendants were also missing.
The Xue family had been doing business related to yin and yang in Shu in central Sichuan. This had been passed down for thousands of years. Later, during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, a business genius emerged from the Xue family, so he led the Xue family into a brand new business. The road also reached a new level at that time, and then the Xue family changed from the previous yin and yang business to a business and trading family. Until now, the Xue family's business has been booming in central Sichuan, but few people know that the Xue family used to run a coffin shop, and their business was also a yin and yang business, and no one knows that, The Xue family has always been affiliated with Beiming and is the representative of the Sichuan region among the eighteen sects of the Beiming sect.
Although the Xue family has changed its appearance, it has not forgotten its roots, otherwise Huan Xin would not be sitting here today. On the surface, they are running a big business, but there are people in the family who have always stuck to their old business, and the coffin shop has continued to this day. Whenever there are monsters and monsters in this land that cause harm to the world, the Xue family will take action without mercy. , In this way, the Xue family also used their own meager strength to maintain the peace of one party.
