As usual, the Zhenwu Shen Sect seems not to have been disturbed by the battle between the thirty-six caves. He has no other work to guide his disciples, so he sits alone on the path up the mountain of the Shen Sect. The clouds are rolling and the flowers are withering. Flowers bloom, hundreds of years are like one day.
"Elder Xiao He, you are back!" Seeing Xiao He's figure, he led his disciples to take a few steps forward and greeted him.
"Back!" Xiao He responded with a smile. "Is everything okay with Shenzong during this time?"
Xiao He asked casually, and the leading disciple answered: "The thirty-six caves are in chaos, and the Shanhai Shen Sect is not immune to the turmoil. However, the Shen Sect remains as usual. Except for a new elder being recruited, there is nothing else. Variety."
"Oh? Is there a new elder?" Xiao He asked curiously.
"No, she is still a female elder! But her cultivation is so high that all the elders are surprised." The disciples who received him sighed.
Xiao He nodded again, turned around and continued up the mountain alone.
As he walked up the long and narrow stone steps, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he first came to Shenzong. When passing by the stone house, Xiao He was even more curious about what kind of woman could pass the assessment of Tianyuan Academy and be recruited by Zhenwu Shenzong.
Thinking of this, Xiao He walked straight towards the stone house, pushed the door open, and saw the names of twenty-four elders written all over the stone wall. Xiao He was ranked twenty-third, and next to his name, the words Lin Aoshan It's carved there, shining brightly.
"Lin Aoshan!" Xiao He repeated this name over and over again in his heart. He didn't understand. Xuandu Sect has always been indifferent to worldly affairs. Why did she come to this mysterious Zhenwu Divine Sect instead of concentrating on practicing in the sect and enjoying the years in peace? .
"You must go to her dojo and ask her face to face!" Xiao He thought in his heart, and returned to his dojo with ease. There was still only a lonely wooden house on the top of Qingmu Peak, but the herbs planted by Xiao He in the open space beside it were unknown. Who is taking care of it, it is now growing vigorously.
While his heart was moved, Xiao He was surprised to find that the water in the water tank in the courtyard seemed to be newly replaced. He had not taken a serious bath in a hundred years. Although his whole body was spotless, Xiao He still felt tired and dirty.
Taking off his robe embroidered with Gesang flowers, Xiao He jumped into the water tank.
The cool spring water bathed the whole body, instantly washing away a hundred years of filthy air, and a hundred years of accumulated tedious thoughts. When the body and mind were relaxed and the upper and lower parts were clear, a familiar voice suddenly remembered in Xiao He's ears: "Xiao He Brother, you are finally back!"
"Brother Shijiu!" Xiao He was so happy when he heard Shijiu's voice that he jumped out of the water tank. At this time, Shijiu had already stood in front of him, looking at Xiao He. Shijiu said with a smile: "Brother Xiao He, although you and I are deeply affectionate brothers and cannot distinguish each other, there is no need to meet each other so openly, right?"
As soon as Shijiu said these words, Xiao He remembered that he was naked without any clothes at the moment. He quickly scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled, and immediately put on his robe.
"Brother Shijiu, why did you suddenly come to my younger brother's dojo?" Xiao He asked curiously.
Shijiu answered: "For a hundred years, brother, I have come here once a day to change the water in your water tank and take care of your flowers and plants."
Hearing this, Xiao He was greatly moved and said sincerely: "Thank you, brother!"
Shijiu smiled calmly, put his face close to Xiao He's ear, and said softly: "It's been a hundred years, can you taste the wine your brother brewed!?"
Xiao He understood it and said with a smile: "Brother Shijiu, don't worry, brother
Today I will have a drink with my eldest brother! "
"Don't be in a hurry. Tonight, I will invite all the elders from the nearby peaks. They are all eagerly waiting for your wine. If I hadn't come here every day, brother, I'm afraid your wine would have been long gone. They stole everything!" Shi Jiu said.
"That's the Ninth Senior Brother. I'll be waiting for you here tonight!" Xiao He said.
"Then I'll inform them right now!" After Shijiu said that, he turned around to leave, but was stopped by Xiao He again. Shijiu turned around and asked, "Is there anything else, brother?"
Looking at Shi Jiu, Xiao He asked directly: "Brother, does he know where the monastery of Elder Lin Aoshan, newly recruited by Shenzong, is?"
"Huh? Why did my brother think of asking about this?" Shi Jiu said.
Xiao He never concealed anything from Shi Jiu and answered: "She is an old friend of my brother's, and I want to talk about the past!"
When Shi Jiu heard this, he smiled brilliantly, as if he understood something, and said with a smile: "My brother seems to have many old friends!"
Xiao He's face turned slightly red and he said, "Brother, please stop teasing me. Tell me, where is her dojo?"
Shijiu put away his smile and replied: "I really know that the name of Elder Lin Aoshan's dojo is Hongyu, and it is not far from here, but she has been sent down the mountain, just this morning."
"Going down the mountain? Where did you go?" Xiao He asked curiously.
Shijiu shook his head and said, "She said she went to the Shanhai Shenzong to handle some matters that had to be done on behalf of the sect. Originally, if she had not been recruited by the Shenzong, the last elder in the ranking would be you, my brother!"
After Shi Jiu finished speaking, Xiao He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand, brother, see you tonight!"
Shijiu nodded again, then turned around and left the Aoki Peak with two empty buckets.
Xiao He was once again alone at the top of Qingmu Peak. He was still thinking about Lin Aoshan going to the Shanhai Divine Sect. Thirty-six Cave Heavens were currently fighting, and the Cantian Sword Sect was ready to make a move. At this time, the Divine Sect suddenly sent someone to come forward. This matter was absolutely unacceptable. It would be a trivial matter. For some reason, he began to worry about Lin Aoshan's safety.
In Xiao He's wooden house, there is a huge wine jar, which is as high as an ordinary water tank, but has several thicker rings. It is specially used for brewing monkey wine. It has been a hundred years, and Xiao He does not know that his monkey wine is now What would it be like? In the wooden house, in front of the wine jar, Xiao He slowly opened the tightly sealed jar mouth with a little excitement. When it just cracked a crack, the aroma of wine was already hitting his face. When the jar mouth was completely Opening it, Xiao He was almost intoxicated by the aroma of wine.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao He lowered his head to explore the monkey wine that had been covered in dust for nearly a hundred years. At this moment, after such a long period of precipitation, the monkey wine had turned into a beautiful amber color. Xiao He looked at the wine in front of him and remembered that he had drank with him. The person was silent for a long time.
It was night, when the moon had just climbed over the willow branches, Shijiu brought many elders from Zhenwu Shen Sect to the top of Cyanwood Peak.
Taoist Zhenming, Qu Shengtan, Taoist Tiansong, and many Taoist priests whose names Xiao He could not even remember all came to Qingmu Taoist Temple just to take a sip of the wine that Xiao He had brewed for nearly a hundred years.
Xiao He was also hospitable. When he saw everyone coming, he went out to greet everyone with a smile. However, these Shenzong elders were shocked when they saw Xiao He just now. Then they all knelt down on the ground, even Taoist Master Tiansong. Everyone was kneeling down, except for Shi Jiu. Standing among the kneeling people, he seemed a little out of place.
Such a scene startled Xiao He, and he quickly took two steps forward to help Taoist Zhenming and Qu Shengtan, whom he was most familiar with.
Elders, the two of them stood up in a hurry, and the other elders followed suit.
"Elders, what do you mean by this?" Xiao He looked at Qu Shengtan and Taoist Zhenming, then at the other elders, and asked.
Qu Shengtan looked at Taoist Zhenming at the side and asked, "May I ask what level Taoist Xiao He is now?"
Xiao He naturally did not hide anything and replied: "You two senior brothers, you are welcome, I have just reached the tenth realm now!"
"As expected!" Everyone present thought secretly.
"That's it!" Qu Shengtan continued to explain: "Master Shijiu is not good at cultivation, so naturally he doesn't understand the reason. Our Zhenwu Shen Sect has always followed the strong. For everyone present, the highest realm is the bottleneck of the eighth realm. In the Shen Sect, apart from the sect leader, there are only two great elders who have reached the tenth realm. Now that you have reached the tenth realm, you will definitely become the third great elder of our Shen Sect. When we see you kneel down and worship, it will be in line with this. It’s polite!”
After listening to Qu Shengtan's explanation, Xiao He understood in his heart, and he still said: "However, elders, Xiao He is still young and cannot bear your great gift. Please continue as usual and never treat your junior fellow apprentices as such. I treat you as a great elder, so I’ll beg you all!”
After Xiao He finished speaking, he had a wry smile on his face, and would cast glances at Shijiu for help from time to time, but he didn't expect that his elder brother Shijiu just looked naive and had no intention of helping.
Several elders looked at each other, and Elder Qu Shengtan spoke again: "That's good. It's rare that you are so lucky and approachable. Since you are here for the wine tonight, we won't stick to etiquette!"
"So good! So good!" Xiao He said happily.
Fortunately, Xiao He is indeed young, and he is inherently humble, so many elders of Shenzong can easily let go of their worries about strength and inferiority. In addition, Xiao He's wine is indeed intoxicating. If they continue to be so respectful, I am afraid that Tonight's wine party is a bit less temperamental.
Finally, the aroma of the monkey wine quickly made everyone intoxicated. They had almost forgotten that Xiao He was a strong man in the ten realms. In Qu Shengtan's words, they had never drunk such an intoxicating wine since the Qing Dynasty. Poor Xiao He, a large wine vat full of century-old wine was empty after just one night.
Xiao He and Shijiu sat facing each other under the moonlight.
Looking at Xiao He who was drunk and confused, Shi Jiu asked: "Brother, does he still have hatred in his heart now?"
This sentence seemed to wake Xiao Hewen up. He shook his head first, then nodded, and then shook his head again.
He hasn't thought about this issue for a long time. Yes, is he still obsessed with revenge? Xiao He asked himself this in his heart and found that he could not answer this question.
So, Xiao He thought carefully for a long time and said: "About fate, it seems that I can already figure it out and accept it, but there should be an answer to some things, right? I want to know the answer."
Shijiu asked again: "If you knew who the enemy was, would you take his life?"
Xiao He shook his head again and said, "I don't know, I'm getting tired of killing people, lately."
Shi Jiu smiled knowingly and did not ask any more questions.
After a night of drinking, Xiao He became truly famous in the Zhenwu Divine Sect, not only because he could brew the most fragrant wine in the world according to the Taoist priests, but also because this young disciple was the fastest among all the masters to reach the realm. People in the ten realms.
Naturally, the mysterious sect leader of the Zhenwu Shen Sect who has not yet appeared has heard of Xiao He's name.
