Deadly Merry [Rebirth]

The night was dark and snowy, and the road was difficult.

When she arrived at the main hall of the head of the sect, Ming Yi just bumped into Qionghua who was about to enter.

Qionghua has already sent Tu Jiu'er back to the thatched hut in the back mountain to settle down properly, and specially captured Ah Man from the forest and told her to stay by the bed.Seeing Ming Yi handing the closed umbrella to Liu Fengxue who was next to him without changing expression, Qionghua stopped halfway, turned her head to look at Ming Yi and said, "I thought you were so pure, so I only dared to treat you People who are not willing to hurt you speak ill of each other, why not complain about this old man who disturbs people's cleanliness in the middle of the night?"

"Your Majesty is serious." Ming Yi lowered her head, noncommittal.

Qionghua ignored him and walked in.

There were not many people in the main hall, Xiaoxia was still sitting on the head seat, Luo Mu and Wu Bian stood next to him, and only two of the four guest seats below were occupied, namely Qian Yang and Li Chengan. All of them are the most respected Taoist priests in Yuxu Palace, and they were also juniors of Xiaoxia's peers.Qionghua didn't have the time to pay attention to these, so she just picked a chair and sat down, tapping the table lightly with her fingers in boredom.

Afterwards, Ming Yi also entered here, and after saluting the elders present, she prepared to sit on the only chair left.

Qionghua stopped her suddenly: "Young student, didn't your master teach you how to salute when you see the mountain god?"

Mingyi sensed that Qionghua was making things difficult on purpose, although she didn't know why, she still followed the etiquette and clasped her hands together and bowed: "See you, Your Majesty."

"It stands to reason that I have the same status as your master. When you see your master on weekdays, do you bend your hands so casually?"

Mingyi raised her eyes to look at Qionghua, and saw that her face was as gentle as usual, and she didn't seem to be making things difficult at all. Naturally, she couldn't lose her temper for no reason and resist, so she obediently lifted up her robe and knelt down, bowing down and kowtow : "...Meet the God of the Mountain Protector."

"That's right, it's decent." Qionghua nodded in satisfaction, "Since you're already kneeling, you can just kneel and listen."

Xiaoxia glanced at Qionghua, not understanding why she would treat a young junior like this according to Qionghua's temperament.However, he was not prepared to ask questions. All the matters discussed today had to be based on Qiong Hua's willingness to help, and he could not annoy her no matter what.

"Everyone, you are all the pillars of my Yuxu Palace." Xiaoxia glanced at the three people seated below one by one, "Junior brothers don't need much praise, I, Xiaoxia, can sit firmly as the head of Yuxu Palace." It is all thanks to the help of the two of you on weekdays. As for Qionghua, not to mention the status of the guardian beast, Yuxu Palace can stand out from the crowd among many monastic sects, it must be inseparable from the credit of this 'crane'."

"What are you talking about, Brother Sect Master?" Qian Yang and Li Chengan waved their hands again and again.

Qionghua just played with her fingers, quietly waiting to see what Xiaoxia wanted to fart.

"Thanks to everyone's support for many years, Yuxu Palace has its position today. So now that Yuxu has some major events, I hope you can discuss with Xiao and come up with an idea." Xiao Xia nodded to Wu Bian , gesturing for him to bring up the scroll in his hand and spread it on the chopping board, "This is Taofeng Ridge located on the southeast peak of Yuxu Mountain, do you all know it? The place where Zhongling is beautiful, there are countless spirit beasts and spirit trees, and there are still many treasures under the ground. The rich ore, the raw materials for the weapons used by my Yuxu Palace since its establishment are all taken from Taofeng Ridge, it is really an indispensable piece of treasure for my faction. But recently, the Ziqing Palace has repeatedly violated the border—”

Qian Yang slapped the table and said angrily: "Is it the Ziqing Palace who has become more and more lawless because of its momentum in the past few years?"

Li Chengan shook his head: "Those people, although they came out of the Taoist sect with us, they really did some things unkindly."

Qionghua had heard of the Ziqing Palace, a Taoist sect newly established in the past 200 years, and settled next to the Yuxu Palace like a provocation, and unexpectedly found Suzaku, one of the four great beasts in ancient times, as a guardian. Mountain beast.Especially after Brother Bai Ze's death, he, a crane demon who is not even a god, took over as the guardian god of the mountain, and the disciples of Ziqing Palace could not wait to walk sideways with their nostrils upturned in front of the people of Yuxu Palace.

"I asked Wu Bian to warn the people in the Ziqing Palace, but..." Xiaoxia glanced at Qionghua, then at Mingyi who was kneeling on the ground, "They have some excuses, I don't know..."

Qian Yang looked anxious: "Brother, what are your ink marks? There are no outsiders here, let's just say it."

Mingyi's arm resting on the ground trembled slightly.

In fact, the conflict between Ziqing Palace and Yuxu Palace has existed for decades.Before being reborn, Master forced himself to pretend to be with Tu Jiu'er after another conflict happened three years later when he violated the bottom line, and used her to exterminate the Qingqiu Fox Clan, using this "great achievement" to make Yu The reputation of Xu Palace and Ziqing Palace have opened a qualitative distance, stabilizing the position of the first Taoist gate of Yuxu Palace.

After all, the first priority of the monastic sect of subduing demons and eliminating demons is to slaughter demons.As for the monster clan, the leader with the most appearance and the most difficult to kill is the Baihu family of Qingqiu Kingdom.

Whoever can kill the Yaozun will definitely gain the highest power in the Taoist sect, and will be praised forever by the Taoist sect.

In short, desire for power, desire for fame, and such an insignificant bit of justice.

It's ridiculous to say, maybe in the matter of "eliminating demons", the reason of "for the sake of the common people" is indeed true and sincere at the beginning, but human beings are extremely complicated and selfish. It has gradually been reduced to a means of fighting for power among Taoist forces.When the nature of the matter changes and people's hearts change, the standard for Taoism to eliminate demons is no longer whether the demon has harmed people, but whether its status is high or not, and whether eliminating it can bring more subsidiary value.

But now, Xiaoxia started to discuss the matter of Ziqing Palace with the leader of the sect three years ahead of schedule, no doubt because Qionghua came back and planned to stay for a long time, Xiaoxia didn't want to miss the opportunity, and wanted to use her strength to do something.

But will Tu Jiuer be involved this time?

Ming Yi raised her ears tightly.

"They said that our Yuxu Palace has recently had an affair with the Yaozu, and allowed the Qingqiu people who are not in common with the Daoist sect to live in the gate. A unique treasure land." Xiao Xia sighed and looked at Ming Yi, "I understand that it was a disaster caused by evildoers, and it is also my fault."

...After all, it has something to do with Tu Jiu'er.

Ming Yi closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said nothing.

Qionghua opened his mouth at this time: "I don't understand this, I have an affair with the demon clan, am I also a demon?"

Xiaoxia said politely: "Where is your honor, no one in the world will put you on the side of those monsters who are lawless and do evil."

"But I'm still a monster after all." Qionghua smiled, but there was no emotion on his face, "It's not just because I, a 'monster', took the seat of Brother Bai Ze that the people in Ziqing Palace feel that Yuxu Palace is not With the 'God' beast by your side, you can step on your face for any reason?"

"..." Xiaoxia hesitated to speak, irrefutable.

"Looking down on me is just looking down on me. There is no need for a little fox to cover up all the disasters." Qionghua stretched out her hand, and the spread Taofengling map flew to her hand, "I will solve the Taofengling matter myself , the head doesn’t need to bother.”

Ming Yi knew that Master's original purpose should be to go to Tu Jiu'er, and wanted to make a fuss about her, and then make a fuss about Qingqiu Tu's family, but she didn't expect Qionghua to be so partial, and even sealed the peach by herself. Ling took this matter down.But... the trouble in Ziqing Palace is not limited to Taofengling, there are too many trivial matters, and Qionghua can't handle it all. This solution is definitely not what Master wants most.

But after Qionghua said that, Xiaoxia understood that Qionghua and Qingqiu's family should have a personal relationship, and it was impossible to ask her to deal with Tu Jiu'er and Tu Cang, so she had to go down the steps first.

"In this way, I will thank you for your kindness."

"Is there anything else? If not, let's go." Qiong Huaduan acted like a master, and directly took the decision for Xiaoxia.

Xiaoxia had no choice but to nod in response to Qionghua's words: "Let's go."

Mingyi knelt for several hours in the morning, but this time she knelt for a long time, her legs trembling when she got up.I don't want to hear Qiong Hua's cool voice just after pinning one leg: "Did you wake up?"

Mingyi was taken aback for a moment, then slowly raised her head to look at Qionghua.

"I think you're kneeling quite comfortably, so keep kneeling. It won't be too late for you to get up again when class is over tomorrow morning." Qiong Hua looked at Ming Yi in a nonchalant way, still in a calm tone without emotion.

"My lord, did I do something wrong?" Ming Yi knelt straight, looking at Qiong Hua unwillingly.

"You have done nothing wrong. In this Yuxu Palace, under the discipline of the master, you have never done anything wrong." Qionghua stood up, stroked the hem of her sleeves and skirt, unhurriedly, "But... look I am happy that you are kneeling."
