Sealing Sword

When Xue Chanyi saw Xie Li again, she almost didn't recognize him.

She assisted Xuansu and Hengyuan to take a group of wounded and incompetent juniors back to Jialan City. Although Taishou Zheng opened the door for convenience, she should not take it lightly in this troubled time.It was the first time for Xuansu to go down the mountain. Although his martial arts were strong, he was unconventional. Hengyuan was thoughtful but he had to pay attention to the situation of the people. Therefore, Xue Chanyi took over these trivial and arduous affairs. In just a few days, his gray hair Two were forced out.

At noon this day, after eating some casual meals, she was going to go to Xuansu and Hengyuan to discuss how to contact the sects of the various sects, but as soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw a Xie family disciple rushing over. She cupped her fists and bowed to her: "Miss, someone is visiting, and I want to see you by name."

"See me?" Xue Chanyi frowned, "Who?"

The disciple truthfully reported: "I don't recognize it, I just saw a middle-aged man poking his head out of the carriage and asked me to give this thing to the eldest lady."

Xue Chanyi frowned and took the object. It was wrapped in a piece of torn cloth, which felt like a jade pendant token. Yes, it turned out to be Yupei, the owner of Broken Water Villa!

Before the bloody battle in Guyang City, Xie Wuyi gave this thing to Xie Li, that is, handed over the future of Broken Water Villa and Xie's family to this child, waiting for him to grow into an indomitable adult one day , to assume the chivalry and responsibility represented by this jade pendant.

Since Xie Li knew the meaning of the jade pendant from her mouth, she has never left the jade pendant, but Xue Chanyi clearly remembered that the young boy stayed on Wenchan Mountain with his stubborn temper, and wanted to personally participate in those affairs to gain knowledge and experience. With the elders of the Supreme Palace present, they didn't try to dissuade them much, leaving only a group of disciples to look after them, and left with a few orders.

Now that Yu Pei appeared here, what about Xie Li?

Xue Chanyi didn't have time to think about it, so she asked the disciple to quickly inform Xuan Su and Heng Yuan, and he walked out of the courtyard with a flick of his sleeves.

Sure enough, there were two carriages parked in the alley outside the courtyard. The coachman leaned against the door frame and took a nap, and his long suits were scattered around, watching all directions, listening to all directions, and when he saw Xue Chanyi going out, someone knocked lightly on the front carriage. outer wall.

Xue Chanyi was still standing in the door with one foot, stroking the door with his hand, with a polite and polite expression: "I'm Xue Chanyi, I don't know what you want to do?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a chuckle in the carriage: "I have heard for a long time that Miss Xue is neat and forthright. Seeing you today, I hate seeing you too late."

The voice was crisp and vivid, and it was clearly a half-grown girl. Xue Chanyi frowned, seeing that the car door was pushed open, a girl in a water-green shirt jumped down, and when she stood firmly, it was as if she was standing on the bluestone ground. A lifelike emerald flower blooms.

She was obviously not the only one in the big carriage, and the young man's gentle and helpless voice immediately sounded: "Lan Shang, your injury is just right, don't act so recklessly."

"Smelly scholar, you talk more than the housekeeper!" The girl snorted, then blinked at Xue Chanyi, and said with a smile, "Your name is Xue Chanyi, and I'm Qin Lanshang, doesn't it sound like a fate? "

As soon as the word "Qin Lanshang" came out, Xue Chanyi immediately knew who she was.

When Qin Lanshang, the eldest lady of Baiguimen, and Ye Fusheng talked to her and Xie Li about what happened after Guyang City on Wenchan Mountain, they often mentioned this eccentric girl. Secret, but Xue Chanyi still remembered the name.

This time, there was a turmoil on the Wenchan Mountain. If there were no Hundred Ghost Sects circling and setting up a trap, I am afraid that many people would fall into it. Although Xue Chanyi is young, his vision is not low at all. I am afraid that the status of the Hundred Ghosts Sect in the Jianghu will be steadily increased. Even if they are still in the neutral camp, they will no longer only do some shady business as before, but will spread their nets to the entire Jianghu go.

She heard that Chu Xiwei, the master of this generation of Hundred Ghosts Sect, has no heirs so far, and instead treats the granddaughter of this old master as her own. It is obvious that she intends to return the power of the Hundred Ghosts Sect in the future, so whether it is public or private, It is imperative for the Xie family to have a good relationship with Qin Lanshang.

Xue Chanyi's thoughts turned quickly, and seeing Qin Lanshang's clear eyebrows and eyes, she was clearly a straightforward person, so she made up her mind not to beat around the bush, took out the jade pendant, and cut straight to the point: "Miss Qin came to visit, and Xue Chanyi greeted her by sweeping the couch, but still There is one thing that needs to be clarified first, where did you get this jade pendant? Where is its owner now?"

Qin Lanshang laughed, and a young scholar in white with a fan came down from the carriage, respected Xue Chanyi politely, and then said: "I am in Lu Mingyuan, and I hurriedly bid farewell to Guyang City that day. I don't know Xue Chanyi Do you remember, girl?"

Xue Chanyi naturally remembered him. When she saw the next teacher of Sanmai Academy walking with the lady of Baiguimen, she couldn't help being puzzled, and she was even more surprised why this jade pendant fell into their hands.

Fortunately, although Lu Mingyuan was long-winded, he never liked to show off. He led her back with his empty hand, and explained in his mouth: "I and Ms. Qin learned that Xichuan had changed, so I came here to do my best. On the way..."

As he spoke, he pushed open the door of the carriage behind, and there were three people sitting and lying down inside.The half-grown girl who was sitting had red lips and white teeth, but she had her black hair tied up high and was wearing a men's attire with sleeves. She was feeding water to the two unconscious people with water bladders.

The two comatose people, one big and one small, the big one was tall and slender with a haggard face, the young one had his eyes closed and his face was pale, they were all in a terrible mess.Xue Chanyi's heart skipped a beat, and she stretched out her hand to brush away the messy hair on the young boy's face, only to realize that it was really Xie Li.

I haven't seen him for a few days. Xie Li, who was not fat at all, lost a lot of weight. His face and arms were covered with bruises and scratches. The two feet exposed outside the bedding were without shoes. The girl picked out the blisters and looked miserable.

Xue Chanyi felt very distressed, and didn't dare to hug him rashly to avoid touching the wound. Fortunately, the little girl put down the water bag and said in a low voice: "He is fine, but he is too tired and has a fever. He has already taken the pills." , and you’ll be fine after a night’s sleep.”

She is about the same age as Xie Li, but girls tend to develop earlier, so she looks slender, with a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows with apricot eyes horizontally, no makeup, clean and bright, and she speaks clearly , extraordinary everyone can educate them.

However, Xue Chanyi has no time to think about it at the moment, she only thinks that she is the disciple of Sanmai Academy who came with Lu Mingyuan, and puts all her thoughts on Xie Li, and lowers her voice so as not to disturb him: "What's going on?"

Lu Mingyuan said: "There are so many people out there, it's a long story."

Xue Chanyi understood, hugged Xie Li with his own hands, and said: "The three of you have traveled a long way and have worked hard all the way, please come in and have a cup of hot tea first."

The hot tea has not been brewed yet, and the living room is already full.

Xuan Su and Heng Yuan waited here when they got the news, the most promising young people in today's Wulin Baidao gathered here, looked at each other a few times, finally Xuan Su laughed first.

"Mr. Qu and Master Chumen helped us a lot in this battle of Zen Mountain. I would like to thank Samadhi Academy and Baiguimen for their support!"

He used a cold mask to cover half of his disabled face. He was supposed to be so cold and hard, but because of this smile, he showed the warmth of the spring sun turning into white snow. Even though he was as pretty as Qin Lanshang, facing such a smiling person He also had no temper to lose, and gave him a gentle smile for the first time.

Seeing this, Lu Mingyuan closed the folding fan, and coughed lightly.

The six people were seated, and Xue Chanyi ordered his disciples to guard the door so that no one could eavesdrop by mistake, and then opened the chatter box: "Mr. Lu, where did you meet A Li? What happened?"

"Actually, I don't know what's going on. I found out that Master Xie and the others belong to someone else." Lu Mingyuan looked at the little girl dressed in men's clothes, "Ah Ru, tell me."

Ah Ru raised his head and sorted out his thoughts: "Yesterday evening, we settled down in a town hundreds of miles away from here. Mr. Lu and Miss Qin went shopping, and I just wandered around the street with nothing to do..."

Towns in small places are naturally not as lively as big cities. After walking for a while, Ah Ru felt bored and was about to go back to the inn to rest, but because he was unfamiliar with the place, he strayed into Poor Alley and saw beggars fighting inside.

To be precise, several young beggars partnered to besiege a child who was younger than them.

Ah Ru is young, but has good eyesight, and he can see the clues at a glance-compared to those beggars who are beating with broken bricks and wooden sticks, although the young boy is unarmed, he has a good way of attacking, but it is a pity that his spirit is not good. The lack of strength, coupled with the reluctance to use heavy hands, gradually suffered a disadvantage after the stalemate.

Listening to those yelling and scolding, she knew that these beggars saw that the child was alone but earning some money as a day laborer, so she started thinking of taking money, and immediately frowned, kicked up a wooden stick and moved her hands.

Ah Ru has never fought with anyone since elementary school, because although no one loves her much in the place where she grew up, no one dares to bully her.These beggars, who are usually not stingy, are even more rude when they see someone who dares to intervene in good things, and also sees that it is a little girl disguised as a man.

However, regardless of swearing or swearing, they were all beaten with a stick in the end. When Ah Ru dropped the stick without blushing and panting, he turned around and saw the unkempt young boy squatting on the ground with a Picking up the copper plate.

The other party was about the same age as me, and most of the girls were soft-hearted. Even if Ah Ru put on men's clothes, he couldn't see such a thing, so he took two taels of silver, knelt down and handed it to him, and said softly: "Don't pick it up. ,this is for you."

The little boy raised his head, only a pair of big eyes were bright on his dirty face, but he gently pushed her hand away, shook his head and said, "Thank you, these are enough for me."

Ah Ru felt that the temperature of that hand was unusual, but after meeting by chance, she was rejected and didn't say anything more. Watching the other party swaying out of the alley, she turned around and walked a few steps before catching up.

The young boy seemed to be afraid of being followed, so he picked crowded places along the way, not only turning left and right, but also turning his head to observe from time to time, making Ah Ru follow like a thief.After finally watching him walk towards the only medical center in the city, he collapsed before entering the door.

The clerks in the shop hurried out to look, Ah Ru was not surprised, the young boy had a high fever and wasted his energy, he barely walked all the way until now he fell down, it was all supported by his perseverance.

Although the pharmacy was helping the world and saving people, it was still open for business. Ah Ru stepped forward to give the young man two taels of money for the consultation fee and medicine. After watching the doctor enter the room for treatment, he talked to the clerk.

The man saw that she was not very old, so he didn't take any precautions, so he explained the ins and outs clearly - it turned out that this young man also came here early this morning, and when he came, he brought an unconscious man with him. Several wounds caused by sharp objects.He said that it was his elder brother, who originally left his hometown and wanted to come here to do some business to earn a living. He didn't want to meet robbers on the road and asked the doctor for help.

However, he didn't bring enough money with him, and after paying the consultation fee, he had no money to get the medicine. The doctor thought he was pitiful and was ready to do kindness, but he didn't expect the half-old child to be very stubborn, so he asked the person who came to get the medicine Zhao Ri Where he was working, he went out to make money with his small body.

There are only so many things a ten-year-old child can do. Looking at the bruises on his shoulders and blood blisters on his hands, Ah Ru guessed that the child might use his martial arts skills to help people carry and unload goods, otherwise it would be impossible. Raise fifty cash for medicine in one day.

It's just that a young man with such a foundation and understanding of etiquette, if he is from everyone, how could he end up in such a situation?

Ah Ru no longer pitied him. Although she had just passed her tenth birthday, she knew from an early age which people needed sympathy and pity the most.

She paid the fee and didn't leave in a hurry. She didn't explain the whole story to Lu Mingyuan and Qin Lanshang until they came to find them.

Lu Mingyuan's gentlemanly style would not ask questions, but Qin Lanshang was curious but couldn't care less. He entered the back hall and glanced at the "brother", but his face changed: "It's Song Wei from the Konghua School!"

The Konghua faction is famous for its swordsmanship and palm skills. It belongs to the upper class in Baidao. The current head, Song Mingkong, is the father of Song Wei. He is a powerful character who can do good. Except for the long-renowned Wuxiang Temple, Taishang Palace and Samadhi Academy, only Huayue Villa can compare with it.

Although Qin Lanshang seldom left the Hundred Ghosts Gate in these years, she often read the information on the rivers and lakes. As one of the rookies, Song Wei's portrait was naturally presented on paper. Well, I never make mistakes in these things.

Lu Mingyuan clearly remembered that the Konghua faction participated in this martial arts conference, and the leader was "Feiyingjian" Hua Xiangrong, so the chief disciple was naturally Song Wei, but the information was sent to ask the changing situation in Chanshan, how could Song Wei appear here?

Just at this moment, the little boy woke up.

Qin Lanshang and Lu Mingyuan met Xie Li when they were in the Nether Valley, but the young boy did not know what he had gone through. Although he was relieved to see them, he did not let go of his vigilance and only handed over the jade pendant Ask them to take them to Jialan City to find Xue Chanyi and others, but the others refused to say a word, and coupled with the high fever, they almost fell asleep all day and night.

"..." After listening to A Ru and Lu Mingyuan's words, Xue Chanyi, Xuan Su, and Heng Yuan looked at each other with doubts in their hearts.

"Amitabha." Heng Yuan folded his palms together and chanted the Buddha's name. Ever since Qianchen Mingjuan, Zhao Bing'e and Xifo Sekong left hand in hand, the cunning on his body is like a thorn whose needle tip has been cut off, softly subdued, and once again He became the gentle and kind young monk when we first met at the foot of Wangchen Peak, "It seems that all of this will not be understood until Master Xie Shao wakes up, so what are the plans of Mr. Lu and Mrs. Qin coming here this time? "

"We heard that a major event happened in Xichuan, and saw that the imperial army had rushed to the border. Considering that the situation on Wenchan Mountain was also critical, we came here to do our best." Lu Mingyuan smiled slightly, "Although there is no Nanru in Sanmai Academy now, the accumulated resources accumulated over the years However, my personal background is still useful, please don't be polite."

Xuan Su smiled: "To tell the truth, Mr. Lu, Pindao and Senior Brother Hengyuan are not ordinary people. These days, Miss Xue has been handling all the affairs in the city. It is really hard to do. It is natural to have your help."

Qin Lanshang sat aside and waited for them to finish their business, then put down the teacup, blinked and asked, "My uncle and my aunt...no, and my Uncle Ye?"

She left the asylum of Baiguimen for more than a month, and took a team of hidden guards to accompany Lu Mingyuan to take care of the Sanmai Academy. She saw too much intrigue and intrigue, and even participated in it with Lu Mingyuan. Walking on the line of life and death every time.

Only after experiencing the wind and rain will the lawless chicks understand how difficult it is for the big tree that once covered the sky and the sun.

Qin Lanshang is not afraid of suffering and does not regret it, but she is homesick.

At this moment when she asked this sentence, endless worries arose in her heart, she wanted to throw herself into Shen Wuduan's arms to act like a baby, hug Sun Minfeng's arm to pretend to be pitiful, and then hide behind Ye Fusheng to be good to Chu Xiwei.

Qin Lanshang waited expectantly for an answer, but Xuan Su hesitated.

In fact, although he didn't know where the two of them were going, he made a good guess. However, both the border town and the outside of the customs are now very dangerous places, and Qin Lanshang is a cheerful person, so he might rush there impulsively. What if something happens in time?

What's more... Xuan Su's eyes sank slightly, he was just inexperienced and not stupid, even though Chu Xiwei and Ye Fusheng didn't say much, how could he not see the connection between those two?

It's just all kinds of things in between, and it's not for outsiders to understand.

As soon as Xuan Su thought about this, he said: "They have important matters to deal with, let us wait in Jialan City for a while, and ask Miss Qin to wait patiently."

Qin Lanshang frowned.

She had a clever mind, not to mention that after Nanru's incident, she experienced the sophistication of the Samadhi Academy, and she has developed more than seven minds. Even if she heard Xuansu's words, she avoided the serious and ignored the trivial, but she didn't put this doubt on the surface. He just said "hm", and planned to contact the post of Baiguimen in Jialan City to inquire about the news later.

They are all young people. Except for Ah Ru who is still young and quiet and doesn't like to talk too much, the other five people chatted quickly. Everyone expressed their opinions on the matter, and when the conversation was intense, Heng Yuan personally went to get a pen and paper, spread it on the table, and drew a simple map.

Hengyuan grew up in Xichuan, and he had a secret relationship with Burial Soul Palace, so he knew a lot about the situation of both parties, so he immediately drew a picture of the route from Wenchan Mountain to Mizong Ridge, and based on the The news of the people is marked on different circles to show the distribution of enemy forces.

"This time, Burial Soul Palace set up a bureau to ask Zen Mountain, which offended the martial arts in the Central Plains. A group of heroes from various factions formed a coalition and rushed to Mizong Ridge. They were about to wipe out the Demon Nest, and Garan City was a must pass." Hengyuan said. He tapped his finger on the place representing Jialan City, "We have seen the first batch of people in the past few days, they are righteous warriors from Xichuan's native sect. Calculating the time, the scholars should gather here in the near future."

"He Lianyu is currently imprisoned in Wuxiang Temple awaiting public trial, Wei Changyun suffered serious injuries in Jialan City and his whereabouts are unknown, Bu Xueyao died and Wenchan Mountain, only Xiao Yangu and those who stayed in Mizong Ridge are left in charge of Burial Soul Palace. Li Feng." After a pause, Xuan Su picked up a pen and drew on the paper, "This time Burying Soul Palace has been pushed to the forefront, and if Xiao Yangu doesn't want the tree to fall and the monkeys to disperse and stand on their own, he has to rush back to Mizong Ridge as soon as possible To help Li Feng. Right now, due to the Xichuan war, the official roads and land routes are blocked by various cities. If she wants to return to the Burial Soul Palace with such a team, she must hide her eyes and ears. Then taking the mountain road to get water is a dangerous way. And the area around the Youchuan waters is the shortest way.”

"She still has a way to divide the forces and attack the west." Xue Chanyi took the pen and drew a circle in Luocheng, which is adjacent to Youchuan, "Xiao Yangu is proficient in disguise, and she is ruthless and cautious. She will put all her plans on one road. Now that the border war is starting, many people are retreating to the interior. She can take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and send some people to Youchuan to divert our attention. You can use your subordinates to transform into refugees, as long as you leave Los Angeles, there will be hundreds of miles of mountain roads, which is enough for her to sneak in."

"The third possibility is that she is not in a hurry to go back to Mizong Ridge, but to try to save He Lianyu." Lu Mingyuan's finger slid back along the route they drew, and finally landed on the location of Wenchan Mountain, "Burning Soul Palace The composition of the internal forces is complicated, so after Helian Yu came to power, there was a bloodbath. Most of the people who really held power inside were diehards he trained or controlled. Let's face repeated doubts first. What's more, this time the Baidao coalition forces are besieging Mizong Ridge, and Burial Soul Palace needs to unite the power of the magic way to fight, and neither Li Feng nor Bu Xueyao can do it like He Lianyu Commanding the group of demons, so if it is for the overall situation, she should openly build the plank road and secretly go to Chencang, and when we all thought she would escape, return to Wuxiang Temple."

The last word fell, and no one in the hall spoke again.

When Xuan Su spoke, his voice became slightly hoarse for no reason: "Miss Xue, has there been any news from Wenchan Mountain in the past two days?"

Xue Chanyi looked ugly and shook her head.

Qin Lanshang squinted her eyes, and stood up: "I will quickly search for the hidden piles in the city, and send spies to Wenchan Mountain, and there will be a reply within two days."

"Please, please wait!"

Before Qin Lanshang opened the door, a weak and short voice suddenly sounded, and everyone turned their heads immediately, only to see Xie Li, who was lying in the back hall, woke up, and moved into the hall with his hands on the wall, almost kneeling on his knees go down.

Ah Ru stood close, quickly caught him with sharp eyesight, and put a young boy who was not much shorter than himself on the chair like a chicken, and took two steps back.

"Xiao Li! How are you?" Xue Chanyi hurriedly stepped forward to ask, Xie Li took a sip of hot water, blood color appeared on his pale face, he looked around at the six people in the hall, and then slowly heaved a sigh of relief, shaking silently He shook his head to show that he was fine.

Xuan Su stepped forward to check his pulse, confirmed that the high fever had subsided, but he was still a little vain, so he felt relieved and asked, "Master Young Master, why did you appear here? Are you asking what happened to Chan Mountain? "

Xie Li looked at him fixedly, and said: "The pagoda was burned, all the disciples guarding him died, He Lianyu was rescued, and...Senior Duanqing was framed as his accomplice."

What he said was concise and to the point, but it cast a thunderbolt in everyone's heart.

Xuan Su's face changed dramatically, Heng Yuan's eyes were fixed, and he asked, "What happened?"
