The mother and son peaks of Tianyuan Mountain are majestic and green,
The mother peak is vaguely visible. On the distant peak, some figures can be faintly seen walking with swords and falling in the air.
The sub-peaks are all occupied by row upon row of towering buildings, with countless flying beasts rising and falling among them.
Zhuyuan Pavilion, where the sect leader and his family are located, is a rare and quiet place in the Sword Sect's mountain gate.
Birds are chirping, cicadas are chirping, bamboos are green, streams are clearing, and the bleakness of late autumn has brought fallen leaves.
The lotus boots stepped on the fallen leaves, and the two figures followed the young woman's soft voice as they spread along the winding stone road in the forest toward the mountains.
"Actually, your master has his own reasons for not taking you to the Imperial Capital. Don't be so angry with him."
Ran Qingmo lowered his head, held up his sword, and stared at the lines on the stone bricks without replying.
Luo Wei looked at the silent girl beside her, her eyes slightly curved, she raised her hand and rubbed her head, her eyes filled with love:
"The young man admires Ai, the young girl cherishes spring. Our Qing Mo has also reached this age. Then Xu Chang is born to be good-looking and hangs among flowers. It's not surprising that you fall in love with him."
Ran Qingmo raised his eyes:
"Master Wife, have you seen him?"
"never seen it."
Luo Wei smiled and shook her head, looking at the doubts in her disciple's eyes, a trace of memory appeared in her eyes: "Although I have never met him, my wife has met his father and mother. I think their children will not be ugly."
Ran Qingmo's eyes flashed twice.
"curious?"
"Yeah" Ran Qingmo nodded.
Luo Wei leaned closer to Ran Qingmo's indifferent expression, and said with a smile:
"Master's wife hasn't seen our Qing Mo smile for a long time."
Ran Qingmo remained expressionless for a moment, then an ugly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"puff"
Luo Wei seemed amused by this expression and raised her hand to pinch her tender face.
Ran Qingmo blinked dissatisfied, turned his face and shook off the master's wife's hand.
Luo Wei's eyes were filled with fondness, and she whispered: "Okay, I'll tell you this, Master. Xu Xiangguo's reputation when he entered the capital was much greater than Xu Changge's today. His appearance was as good as that of an immortal, and he won three yuan in a row. After the emperor's list came out that year, At that time, if his cultivation had not been astonishing, he would have been kidnapped directly by those wealthy businessmen to get married."
Speaking of this, she paused and replied dumbly:
"Although the end result is the same."
"Is she Xu Yuan's mother?" Ran Qingmo asked in a low voice.
"If it's not that boy's mother, who else could she be?"
Luo Wei looked at her curious eyes with a smile, and immediately smiled and said: "The housekeeper doesn't know that your master and I didn't have a close relationship with their circle when we learned about their engagement."
"Master's wife, did we kill his mother?"
"." Luo Wei's eyes narrowed.
Ran Qingmo's black eyes like a landscape painting stared at the teacher's wife unblinkingly, feeling a little nervous.
"Well, let's see how you understand Qingmo."
Luo Wei did not avoid this topic, casually catching a bamboo leaf that fell with the autumn wind, and gently caressing it: "Just like this fallen bamboo, if you fail to prevent it from falling to the ground, you are an accomplice, and we are the ones who killed it. If If it doesn’t count, then it’s not.”
Ran Qingmo blinked twice, half understanding.
Luo Wei threw the bamboo leaves down casually and said regretfully:
"Qing Mo, my wife and your master were not specifically involved, but they did know about it. Feng Qinshu's death is inevitable. She is very powerful, but it is also because of this that what she did can touch people all over the world. The reverse scale."
The sun pierced through the bamboo forest and cast tiny spots of light on her body. Ran Qingmo's beautiful eyes flashed an imperceptible sadness:
".Is it a martial arts school?"
"That's the main reason." Luo Wei nodded.
Ran Qingmo's eyes flickered, and based on what she had seen and heard during her travels, she asked in a low voice: "Master Wife, if there is a martial arts hall, there will be more cultivators, so won't the disaster of monsters be solved?"
This world is not only filled with prosperous giant cities, but also with mountain villages and rough people who cannot afford to eat.
Luo Wei's footsteps rustled on the fallen leaves:
"Is this what Xu Changtian told you?"
"." Ran Qingmo was silent and clenched the Mo sword in his hand.
Luo Wei smiled softly, and her eyes swept across the bamboo forest like an autumn wind:
"These martial arts schools in this world are actually digging the foundations of the world's famous families, sects, and even dynasties."
"." Ran Qingmo's eyes were puzzled.
As the two of them walked along, the bamboo forest path suddenly opened up. The clear stream and the huge waterfall merged into the deep pool, and a bamboo building suddenly came into view.
The master and apprentice did not return to the attic immediately.
Luo Wei took Ran Qingmo to the lake and sat down. She looked back with a smile in her eyes:
"Take off your boots. The water from the clear pool will nourish your skin today."
"."
Hearing this, Ran Qingmo took off his lotus boots honestly, folded the black silk socks and put them aside, and immersed a pair of snow-white jade feet in the water.
The touch of cool ice made her eyes flash, but then she asked softly:
"Master's wife, why did you say that just now?"
Luo Wei knelt down and sat on the lawn by the lake, watching the ripples caused by the waterfall entering the lake:
"Don't be nervous, my wife has not denied Xu Changtian's statement. The more cultivators there are, the greater the number of cultivators will be able to solve the problem of today's monsters. However, we should also know that Xia uses force to break the ban."
"." Ran Qingmo seemed to have thought of something.
Luo Wei raised her eyes, looked at the blue sky, and said in a leisurely tone:
"It is said among mortals that cultivators are fiercer than tigers.
"After most people in this world have power, they will not take the risk of drawing a sword against a strong person, let alone hunt monsters, because these are life-threatening.
"It is easier to oppress the poor than to accept a bounty to hunt monsters. When sand accumulates into a tower, these uncontrolled low-level cultivators are a greater disaster than monsters."
Saying,
Luo Wei turned her eyes and looked at the girl in black clothes with lowered eyes, swaying her bare feet in the clear pool:
"Qing Mo, you should have seen these things during your travels, right?"
"Master's wife, Xu Yuan told me this." Ran Qingmo replied in a low voice.
"Huh?" Luo Wei's eyes flashed: "What did he say?"
Ran Qingmo thought for a while and imitated his original tone:
"Everything in its infancy is in chaos. It is a pity that the government's decrees will guide it and it will be stricter than the law. It will take time to calm down."
Speaking of this, Ran Qingmo did not continue.
"Is it just a pity that the sect interfered?" Luo Wei answered.
".Um."
"This boy really has a way with his words."
Luo Wei narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Everything has two sides. From his standpoint, this is correct, but Qingmo, have you ever thought about it? This kind of government order above the court requires us and other sects to Cooperation, there are many sects in the world, how to draw the boundaries between sects, how to divide the rights and responsibilities between the court and the sects, who will provide money, who will contribute the effort, interests are competing, how can anything in this world be so easy? "
Speaking of which,
Luo Wei rubbed the center of her eyebrows, and her tone was a little serious:
"The so-called martial arts gym, no matter how high its intentions are, in the final analysis is actually a tool used by Li Yaoxuan and Xu Yinhe to break the current world situation."
Ran Qingmo looked at the mistress in front of him, a lot of emotions flashed through his clear eyes, but in the end they turned into doubts.
Seeing this, Luo Wei sighed helplessly and said briefly:
"The imperial court wanted to tear up the thousand-year agreement and destroy our sect, but the original strength was not enough, so it used the martial arts hall to disrupt the world."
"oh"
A flash of understanding flashed in Ran Qingmo's eyes, but then he became a little confused: "Then Master Wife, why did I..."
"You said that Xu Yinhe wanted to attack my sword sect?" Luo Wei said with a smile.
Ran Qingmo nodded and placed his hands on his snow-white knees, which glowed seductively in the sun.
A smile flashed between Luo Wei's charming eyebrows:
"Because Li Yaoxuan is going to die. Once he dies, the conflict between the royal family and the prime minister's office will not be concealed."
"."
Ran Qingmo bit the corner of his lip, his eyes hesitant to speak, but he did not say anything.
The Prime Minister's Mansion had a plan for Jianzong, and Xu Yuan had talked about it with his father.
Moreover, there is Tianyan.
Luo Wei looked at her disciple's eyes and said softly:
"If you have any questions, you can directly tell the teacher's wife."
Ran Qingmo shook his head silently and whispered:
"Then the master recently came to Beijing because of this matter?"
Luo Wei smiled softly and said:
"Do you still want to follow your master to Beijing?"
"Yeah." Ran Qingmo hesitated, then nodded: "Yeah."
Luo Wei exhaled helplessly and gently hugged the girl next to her into her arms, just like when she was a child:
"Qing Mo. Your master's trip to Beijing is very dangerous, so he is unwilling to take you with him."
"Danger?" Ran Qingmo's eyes widened slightly and he asked, "Is it because the emperor is dying?"
Luo Wei glanced at the direction she came from and said softly:
"Qing Mo, you are of a simple nature, but you should also know something. Every year, the Northern Sect asks the Sect Alliance for a large sum of money under the pretext of resisting the barbarians and the imperial court. Now that they have been abandoned, it is estimated that they will be destroyed by just one or two. What happened with Yue, coupled with the birth of Jiantian Pavilion and Li Yaoxuan's deadline, Di'an City will definitely see blood by then, and it will be too dangerous for you to go with your master, the old man."
Ran Qingmo lowered his head:
"But I still want to go."
"Going to see Xu Changtian?" Luo Wei smiled.
Ran Qingmo rested his head on the teacher's wife's towering chest, tightened his rolled-up skirt, and said in a low voice:
"I still want to accompany the master. It's so dangerous, master."
Luo Wei laughed dumbly, with loving eyes, and couldn't help pinching her face hard, causing a burst of redness and swelling:
"You girl."
"Hahahahaha!"
A burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from the path in the bamboo forest.
Ran Jianli strode out with a giant sword on his back, his white beard and robes fluttering in the wind as he walked. If the giant sword behind him hadn't ruined his overall temperament, he would have been a swordsman.
Luo Wei looked back and rolled her eyes.
Ran Jianli came to the mother-in-law's side and thrust the giant sword behind his back into the soil.
"I heard this as soon as I came here."
As he spoke, he sat down next to his wife and said, "Well, it seems that the old man and I are more important in Qingmo's heart."
"Okay you."
Luo Wei glanced at the triumphant expression on her husband's face:
"If you dare to eavesdrop on my conversation with Qing Mo again, you will not be allowed to enter the room for a month."
"."
After a moment of silence, Ran Jianli skipped the topic and placed a pair of rough hands on Ran Qingmo's little head and rubbed:
"Qing Mo, if you really want to go to Di'an City with me as your master, it's not impossible."
Ran Qingmo raised his eyes and blinked.
Ran Jianli took back his hand and touched the white beard on his chin: "As long as you break through the origin before my departure, I will take you there, how about it?"
Ran Qingmo lowered his head silently again, pitifully silent.
It’s hard to break through the origin
Ran Jianli's sharp eyes revealed a hint of distress, and he hesitated:
"Then how about melting the Tao? It really doesn't work, Qingmo, you use the Ice Spirit Sword Intent?"
"Jianli!"
Luo Wei frowned and glared at her husband: "If something happens, and you and Qing Mo get into trouble in Di'an City together, do you want me to spend the rest of my life in Zhuyuan Pavilion alone?"
Ran Qingmo's breathing shortened slightly when he heard this, and he raised his eyes to look at his wife and master, a trace of panic flashed across his clear and dust-free eyes.
She understood the meaning of the Master's wife's words.
master
He went to Beijing with a death wish.
Luo Wei and Ran Jianli looked at each other and cursed via voice transmission:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The look in Ran Jianli's deep eye sockets was innocent:
"No, isn't that what you said?"
Luo Wei's expression remained unchanged, and her voice conveyed a hint of anger:
"We have agreed not to tell Qing Mo about this. If you don't mention it, I will?"
Ran Jianli's expression did not change and he sent a message privately:
"Old man, isn't this a promise? Qing Mo won't be able to finish it in a while anyway."
Wow——
The sound of bare feet coming out of the water gently echoed amidst the splashing of the waterfall, and the girl sitting between them stood up silently.
"." Luo Wei glanced at him sideways.
"." Ran Jianli smiled sarcastically.
In the silence of the three people,
Ran Qingmo bent down and picked up the silk socks and lotus boots and hugged them to his chest. He held the Mo sword and whispered:
"Master, Master, I'm going to practice, I will definitely be able to merge with the Tao."
After all,
Under the gaze of the couple, the girl walked into the unwilling bamboo house without looking back, and then closed the door with a bang.
Silence for a long time,
Ran Jianli suddenly clenched his fists.
Silently, the huge deep pool in front of him was suddenly cut into two by the invisible sword energy, revealing the dark and deep bottom of the lake.
The pain in Ran Jianli's eyes was beyond words, and he gritted his teeth:
"Xiaowei, I have to give that little bastard a good beating when I go to the Imperial Capital. Xu Yinhe dares to stop me and beat him too."
Luo Wei glared at her husband:
"What does this have to do with the boy named Xu?"
Ran Jianli took out a breath and pointed to the north:
"If Qing Mo hadn't wanted to go to the Imperial Capital to meet that boy, would she have known about this now?"
"." Luo Wei.
"."
"."
"Ah sneeze!"
He sneezed without any warning. Xu Yuan subconsciously wrapped himself up in his jacket and looked at the snow falling in the sky.
Climb high and look far, but it’s also cold when you climb high, but as a soul condensing powerhouse, you shouldn’t catch a cold.
Hmm. Someone must have missed him.
Thinking about whether this was true, Xu Yuan felt a little nervous when he returned to the entrance of the captain's camp again.
He was a little worried that when he entered, he saw Tian Yan being bullied by Li Qingyan and bursting into tears.
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan was about to open the curtain, but before his hand even touched the curtain, he opened it from the inside.
Three beautiful figures came out one after another.
Li Qingyan wore a curtain on his head and Tianyan looked expressionless, while Xiaobai followed behind with his head lowered.
When Xu Yuan saw this combination, he opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Li Qingyan spoke first, with a cold voice:
"Shut up and get ready to leave."
"ah?"
Xu Yuan blinked, looked at Li Qingyan, then at the expressionless Tian Yan, and licked the corner of his lips: "No. Let's go together?"
