Sealing Sword

Two days later, Ye Fusheng and his party finally arrived at Wenchan Mountain.

The fake monk had already been secretly sent back to the Taishang Palace by Duan Heng's disciples, and in front of outsiders, he only said that the two were not acclimatized and stayed for a rest, so he urged him not to miss the meeting schedule.

Heng Yuan never commented on this, and even Heng Ming, who had a somewhat more rebellious personality, did not intervene in the internal affairs of the Supreme Palace.After the group set off on the road, Duanheng talked about the various arrangements of the martial arts conference with these two people in a normal manner, and occasionally asked a few words about the recent situation of Abbot Sejian and Zen Master Sekong to express his concern, which made Ye Fusheng behind him feel that this The old man had a bit of talent as an intelligence spy.

Regardless of acting or sincerity, the two of them answered Duan Heng's questions perfectly, especially Heng Yuan, who seemed gentle, could always lead to important topics inadvertently. What obvious flaws come out.

He walked all the way to watch the flowers, his eyes occasionally turned around Heng Yuan, and before the young monk turned his head away, he looked at the grass, trees, soil and rocks on the side of the road.

The more you go to Wenchan Mountain, the more people will be along the way.In addition to the three religions and nine streams flocking to the martial arts conference, people from surrounding villages and towns also set up tea stalls and meals on the side of the road, earning three melons and two dates from these passing rivers and lakes, adding some income to the family's livelihood.

At the foot of the mountain are mostly small gangs watching the excitement, and those who really want to participate have either already entered the mountain gate, or are on the mountain road to Wuxiang Temple.

Heng Ming and Heng Yuan led a group of people from the Taishang Palace to enter through the main entrance. There were several monks who knew guests standing at the entrance, receiving people from various sects in an orderly manner and walking in. When they saw them coming, an old monk came up to greet them. , saluted with palms together, first said hello to Duanheng, and then said to Hengming and the other two: "Senior brothers, the abbot has something to say, let the two of you go to see him as soon as you return to the temple."

Heng Ming nodded, Heng Yuan clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Then ask my junior brother to entertain the distinguished guests for us."

Although he and Heng Ming were young, they entered the mountain gate earlier than him, the old monk said: "It's my job, senior brother, let's go."

After the two left, the old monk clasped his palms together and recited the Buddha's name again, saying: "Elder Duanheng, please bring all the fellow Taoists to follow me to the left wing first to settle down."

This time the martial arts conference is so powerful that it is not an exaggeration to say that the temple is overcrowded. In Wuxiang Temple, apart from the monastery for eminent monks, the Sutra Pavilion and the Qingjing Pagoda Forest, even the Yunshui Hall has temporarily changed its residence.Ye Fusheng and the others walked from the front hall to the backyard. I don't know how many martial arts practitioners walked among them. When they passed the big square, they heard the sound of noise. When they looked around, they saw that someone was fighting with martial arts.

The old monk was not surprised, and the people around him were also used to it. Duanheng frowned and didn't speak, but Xuansu asked: "It's not appropriate to start fighting before the meeting is held, isn't it?"

The old monk recited "Amitabha Buddha" and explained: "The abbot said, 'Right and wrong have their own destiny, and we are all outsiders, so we have no right to comment', not to mention that martial arts conferences can't help but fight, just don't hurt life, don't involve Shameless, Wuxiang Temple will not interfere."

Ye Fusheng held down Xuansu calmly with one hand, and grabbed Xie Li's hand tightly with the other, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I still need to ask the master something... I don't know if Miss Xue from Broken Water Villa has ever come to participate in this event." Second meeting?"

Xie Li's hands froze, and then he raised his eyes to look at the old monk, his eyes were full of hope.

The old monk lowered his head, noticed the child, and asked, "This is..."

"...I'm Xie Li, Xie Wuyi, the owner of my father's Duanshui Village." This time, Ye Fusheng was not asked to speak for him, Xie Li answered in person.

It was only two months since Duanshui Mountain Villa was overturned overnight. Many people in Jianghu still remember the fierce fire that burned half of the sky in Guyang. In my heart, I can't forget it so far.

Although the tiger is dead, its remaining prestige is still there.Whether it is deterred by Xie Wuyi's legacy or because of the face of Jiang Hu's friendship, Wulin Baidao has to treat the orphans of Duanshui a little bit in order to show his benevolence.

Hearing this, the old monk respected him immediately, clasped his hands together and said, "It turns out that it is Master Xie Shaozhuang. Benefactor Xue entered the mountain gate three days ago, and because he is a female guest, he placed him in Luhua Courtyard. If Master Shao wants to meet, The poor monk will arrange for someone to lead the way."

Xie Li's eyes were slightly red, but he took a look at Ye Fusheng first, even without saying a word, Ye Fusheng knew that he had returned his heart.

Ye Fusheng brought up this topic, and he originally wanted to leave the team to check the situation elsewhere, so there is no reason to refuse now, he exchanged a look with Duan Heng, and said: "Then I will trouble the master."

The old monk summoned a young monk who was about the same age as Xie Li, and asked him to take Ye Fusheng and the two to the Luhua Courtyard, and he continued to lead the Taishang Palace and his party to the left chamber.Xuan Su glanced at Ye Fusheng before leaving, but only got a nod, which meant to let him wait and see what happened.

The little novice was young, so compared to other monks, he was a bit more lively. Ye Fusheng gave a sweet-scented osmanthus candy, and his round face burst into smiles.

Ye Fusheng led Xie Li to follow him, and asked, "Little Master, how many people are here in this temple now?"

The little novice thought about it carefully, then rubbed his fingers back and forth several times, and said: "Counting the Taishang Palace, people from the eight sects have already arrived, and the benefactors of other sects...about two thousand people."

Xie Li gasped, he had never seen anything big at such a young age, and the last meeting at Duanshui Mountain Villa had only nearly a thousand people, so in his eyes he thought it was such a grand event.

Ye Fusheng squinted his eyes, and could see that the little novice had not lost his childlike innocence, and hadn't been restrained by those scriptures, so he thought of a routine, and said with a smile: "I haven't set foot in the rivers and lakes for a long time, I didn't expect this time It’s such a grand event, but it’s good to gain some knowledge... But there are many people, and there are many right and wrong, and I have a child with me, so I have to be careful, lest the eye opening turn into a craniotomy, which will cause trouble for the masters .”

At this time, I happened to pass by a secluded path, and there were no idlers around.Hearing this, the little novice put his palms together for the sake of the sweet-scented osmanthus candy, and said: "Benefactor, the front and rear courtyards and the Yanwu Square are crowded with people, and on weekdays...if you need it, just give me an order. "

What he said was cryptic, but Xie Li smelled a hint of danger from it, and immediately straightened his back, like a small animal that sensed a trap, and subconsciously stretched its muscles.

Ye Fusheng covered his head with a slightly cool hand, looked at the serious little novice, and said: "Thank you, little master, for your guidance. Speaking of which, my master once had friendship with Zen master Sekong, and this time I am entrusted to give it to Zen master. Hello, I don't know how to meet you?"

The little novice said: "I'm a late beginner. I only know that Master Sekong's uncle has never met him since he closed his mouth five years ago and moved to Du'e cave to practice meditation. If the benefactor wants to see him, it is best to talk to him first. Abbot said."

Ye Fusheng turned the words around in his heart, and then he stopped talking.

The little novice took them to the gate of Luhua Courtyard, and because there were female customers inside, they stopped entering, and only asked the aunt who was cleaning the gate to inform them, and Xue Chanyi came out after a while.

After a while, this 16-year-old girl has lost a lot of weight. She has removed the redundant hairpins and jewelry, and she is also dressed in plain clothes. Her hair is full of black silk and a long braid tied with blue silk hangs behind her head. Except for Chi Xuelian, there is no other beauty in Shangxia, who looks capable and clean, and looks a little more mature.

She probably came out in a hurry when she got the news, the Chi Xuelian around her waist was tied up in a mess, when she caught sight of Ye Fusheng and Xie Li, she paused on the threshold, and then walked over quickly.

"Ah Li!" Xue Chanyi walked in front of them, fixed her eyes on Xie Li, touched his cheek with a trembling hand, her voice trembled slightly, "You... lost weight."

After a pause, she looked at Ye Fusheng again, her tone was still vicious, but her eyes were red: "How do you take care of Ah Li? Look at you, you seem to be dying!"

Xue Chanyi's words were harsh, but seeing Ye Fusheng's expression was really bad, she was worried that something happened to him.Ye Fusheng naturally understood that she was reminding her kindly, but when he thought about "You Meng", he felt as if he had been stabbed in his heart. He didn't answer the topic, and just pushed Xie Li in front of him, pretending to beg for mercy: "Daddy!" Miss, I brought your brothers here in their entirety, so I can't punish you before rewarding you!"

Xue Chanyi couldn't hear his perfunctory way of avoiding talking, staring and wanting to ask, Xie Li couldn't help but shook her by the sleeve, said: "Sister Xue, I miss you."

No matter how hard it is for Xue Chanyi to utter these words, it will be difficult for Xue Chanyi to get angry.Luhuayuan is not a suitable place to talk, so the three of them said goodbye to the young novice monk and aunt, and walked to the quiet bamboo forest next to them, talking while walking.

Ye Fusheng's impression of Xue Chanyi still stays in the time when he was in Guyang City.She is also the eldest lady, but Xue Chanyi is much more mature than Qin Lanshang. At a young age, she took care of some affairs of the Duanshui Villa, which was at that time precarious. Capable, even if his personality is a bit more aggressive, he is still a stable governor after all, but he is still too young to behave in the world, and it takes time and wind and rain to carve it out.

After the First World War in Guyang City, there were only ruins left in the Duanshui Villa, which used to be famous as the "No. [-] Sword in the World". Only Xue Chanyi and Xie Li were left.

Xie Wuyi died, although the broken backbone of Duanshui Villa still exists, Xue Chanyi returned to Mingzhou to manage the remaining foundation of Xie's family, and had to deal with the people in the martial arts for help or temptation. Sleek and tactful, restrained the domineering and unruly, and learned how to be humble before others and rise to power after others without a teacher.

This time in the martial arts conference, Xue Chanyi could have lived in Mingzhou without going through the muddy water, but she still had to plan for Xie Li.

If he doesn't show his face this time around, Jianghu might die as if he were a Broken Water Villa, and the remaining two children are nothing to worry about, then the follow-up indifference is almost doomed, and Xie Li's future Jianghu road will be criticized to some extent.

Because of this, Xue Chanyi temporarily entrusted all the things in his body to his confidants, and brought some good hands to Wenchan Mountain, not intending to win a name, as long as it proves that there are still people in the Broken Water Villa.

It was also fortunate that she came, so I realized that the so-called tea is cold, but it is just like that.

Over the past three days, Xue Chanyi has been exposed to all kinds of gazes from the three religions, hearing false comforts and sincere praises, on the one hand blocking the provocations that make things worse, and on the other hand guarding against the temptation to hide needles in the cotton. I endured it, but I didn't expect to see Xie Li here.

"You shouldn't have come." Xue Chanyi made sure that there was no one around, and frowned at Ye Fusheng, "I know you are good at martial arts, and you are not blind or lame now, but Wuxiang Temple today is not just a pair of fists A place where peace can be kept with four hands.”

Ye Fusheng raised his eyebrows: "Where do we start?"

Xue Chanyi narrowed his eyes and said, "There are 'ghosts' in this temple."
