I respect him so fragrant

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, is the occasion for the reunion of thousands of families.

Although the Four Immortal Sects have always adhered to the concept of "cultivating immortality and proving the Tao requires cutting off the mortal ties" and will not hold grand ceremonies to celebrate festivals like the ordinary world, but immortal cultivators are human after all, and they can restrain their emotions and desires, but they cannot completely abandon them.

Therefore, on the day of Shangyuan Festival, although Xianmen does not celebrate, it will allow disciples to go down the mountain to visit relatives and friends and participate in the grand ceremony on earth.

Wanyuemen is no exception.

In the early morning, many disciples went down the mountain, or gathered in twos and threes to play together, or went home to reunite with their relatives, all of them were full of joy and smiles.

Of course, there are also disciples who have not gone down the mountain, and Jiang Gu is one of them.

In the past, he would continue to go to the old place to practice swords as usual.But today, he can't go anywhere because of his leg injury and needs to recuperate.

Anyway, idle is idle, he simply leaned under a cherry blossom tree outside Xing Changming's residence, and wiped his life sword.

There are no four seasons in Wanyue Fairy Mountain, and the weather is sunny and sunny all year round, which is suitable for people to live in, but it also suffers from the flowers and trees growing on the mountain.The cherry blossom tree outside Xing Changming's residence is an example. I was so dazzled by the climate on the mountain that I completely forgot that I still had a flowering period. The cherry blossoms have never been defeated since they bloomed.

Fortunately, Xianshan is full of aura and can afford to support this confused cherry tree.

At this moment, the breeze blows, and the cherry blossoms on the tree rustle. The young man under the tree is dressed in single clothes, with a high ponytail, and his handsome brows are full of concentration. Occasionally, cherry blossoms fall on the sword. .

The sunlight stretched his figure very long, but it still couldn't fill the surrounding space.It was the time when the whole family was reunited with relatives and friends, and the world was full of joy and laughter, but he was the only one sitting alone under the unsuitable flowers, with Leng Ren as his companion.

And such a day, he has passed three years.

When Mu Ye brought the food box to Xingchang Mingju, Jiang Gu had just finished wiping the sword for the first time and was about to do it for the second time.

"You are free, so you can occupy a good place." Mu Ye said with a smile, "The cherry blossoms are really blooming."

Jiang Gu put down the Pingsheng sword in his hand, and wanted to get up to salute, but he stopped him: "You have an injury on your leg, it's inconvenient to stand and sit, so you can skip the salute."

"It's too late to congratulate Senior Brother Mu for being promoted to Immortal Master." Jiang Gu said respectfully.

In the third round of competition that day, the result was that Mu Ye won the first place with the highest points and was successfully promoted to Immortal Master.It's just that Jiang Gu couldn't attend the promotion ceremony a few days ago because of a leg injury, and he didn't congratulate him in person.

Mu Ye waved his hand and said indifferently: "Why are you and I being polite, we are all people who live and die together."

Jiang Gu nodded with a smile and said, "Then I have to thank you again, thanks to my senior brother who reported back to Xianshan in advance and saved my life."

"Actually, you shouldn't thank me, you should thank..." Mu Ye paused, as if thinking of something, he immediately stopped talking, and passed the food box in his hand, "By the way, this is for you , there is a bowl of Yuanxiao stuffed with sesame seeds, I don’t know if you like it or not.”

"Yuanxiao? Who made it?" Jiang Gu was stunned, took the food box and asked.

Wan Yue Sect has never distributed Lantern Festival to disciples.This is a single bowl, it must be specially made.

Mu Ye said: "I just went down the mountain and met the Bright Moon Immortal. He handed it to me. I don't know who made it, but it definitely wasn't him."

Jiang Gu opened the lid of the food box and saw that there was a bowl of Lantern Festival inside, which was steaming, so he asked curiously, "How do you know it wasn't made by the Bright Moon Immortal?"

"Xianzun Jiaoyue once took in an apprentice, but that apprentice died because of eating the poisoned Lantern Festival, and the immortal has never touched this thing since then." Mu Ye thought for a while and said, "It happened a long time ago, At that time, you hadn’t entered the Wanyue Gate yet.”

Jiang Gu was a little surprised that a bowl of Lantern Festival could lead to an old story, so he nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After completing the task of delivering the Lantern Festival, Mu Ye immediately patted Jiang Gu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I have to leave beforehand, you eat your Lantern Festival."

Jiang Gudao: "I heard that Immortal Jingyang specially sent his disciples to light a thousand prayer lamps on the mountain steps to pray for the senior brother, but the senior brother went to see this?"

There is an unwritten rule in the fairy gate, if an apprentice is promoted to a fairy master, the master needs to light prayer lamps for him to pray for blessings, the more the better.It's just that this lamp is difficult to extinguish easily, generally it is rare to light fifty to one hundred lamps, but it is rare for someone like Immortal Jingyang to light a thousand lamps in one go, which naturally aroused discussions among the disciples of the immortal sect.

"Master said that I won the first place in these three rounds of competitions, so I should celebrate it." Mentioning this, Mu Ye smiled, "But I didn't go down the mountain to watch this, but to go home to visit my parents."

He joined the Jingyang sect since he was a child, and was favored because of his outstanding aptitude, so he was chased and supported by others.These thousand prayer lamps are just one of the many brilliance in his smooth life, and they won't make him overly happy.

When Jiang Gu heard that he was going back to visit his parents, he couldn't help feeling a little envious, and said, "If that's the case, then brother, let's go quickly, so as not to miss the time to go back."

Mu Ye nodded, turned and left.After Jiang Gu watched him go away, he looked down at the food box again, only to find that the cherry blossoms fell into the bowl at some point.The soft and smooth Lantern Festival and the pink petals float together in the soup, which has a strange feeling that spans summer and autumn.

At this time, Immortal Cang Yue was standing in front of Lingshan Immortal Chang's cave, looking coldly at Fang Zhuyu who was kneeling in front of him.

Immortal Elder Lingshan was already trembling with anger, pointed at his apprentice and said, "You scoundrel! Do you know what you have done! How dare you hire a murderer to stab a disciple of the same generation!"

Fang Zhuyu cried till his tears flowed, kowtowed desperately and said, "Disciple knows his mistake! Disciple knows his mistake!"

He originally wanted to go down the mountain to go home today, but he ran into the master and head of the cave just after he left the cave.He thought there was something wrong, but he didn't want to be the master but threw him a token.He picked it up and took a closer look, his face turned pale with fright.

"Fang Zhuyu, let me ask you," Cang Yue said coldly, "is this token yours?"

The transfer order of the Weinan family can only be held by the direct descendants of the Fang family. Even if the Fang family's centuries-old immortal cultivation family has declined, the foundation is still there, and using this order can mobilize any power of the Fang family.

Fang Zhuyu knelt down hastily, and stammered: "Return to the head, I, I have lost this token a long time ago."

"Lost it? Where is it lost?"

"Disciple...don't know."

"Then let me tell you where I lost it." Cang Yue frowned, "First it was thrown at Weinan's house, then at Guiluo Market, and finally at the back mountain where Jiang Gu often went to practice swords! Fang Zhuyu, You are so bold!"

Ghostfall Bazaar, the largest black market in Zhufang, is also the most frequented place for hired murderers.

Immortal Lingshan was shocked when he heard the words, and said, "Zhuyu, what's going on?"

Fang Zhuyu frightened, shook his head desperately and said: "All this has nothing to do with disciples!"

Cang Yue said: "The night before the second round of the trial competition, someone pretended to be a disciple of the Wanyue Sect and entered the Wanyue Immortal Mountain with this order. And that night Jiang Gu was attacked and his right arm was injured. The mountain patrolling disciples found out in time that he would die and be buried behind the mountain."

"Why have I never heard of such a major event as my disciple being attacked and injured?" Immortal Master Lingshan hastily defended his disciple, "Is there something wrong, something wrong?"

"The mountain patrolling disciples were bribed by Fang Zhuyu, so they will not report to the higher authorities." Cang Yue said.

"But Jiang Gu didn't say anything! Besides, didn't he go to participate in the competition as usual the next day? It didn't look different at the time!" Fang Zhuyu raised her head, trying to excuse herself.

"What he says and does is his business, the key is that you arranged the matter."

"The head of the sect can't just use this token to convict me." Fang Zhuyu said, "Maybe someone is using it to frame me!"

"Shuiyue Xianzun has a technique called Suhui." Cang Yue glanced at him coldly, then turned to look at Immortal Lingshan and said, "Presumably Immortal Lingshan knows about it."

When Lingshan heard the word "Huhui", his heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed immediately.He immediately stepped forward and kicked Fang Zhuyu, and said bitterly, "You have really disgraced me!"

Although Fang Zhuyu didn't know what kind of technique "returning back" was, but seeing his master's attitude change so quickly, he immediately lost his position, which led to the previous scene.

Seeing that the matter has been clarified, Cang Yue really broke her mouth and said: "Fang Zhuyu murdered a disciple of the same generation, and he committed the same crime of treason, so he should be executed."

But at this time, Lingshan Xianchang couldn't bear it.After all, after being a master and apprentice for three years, there is always some affection. Even if Fang Zhuyu made a big mistake, he didn't want to see him die.

So he knelt down tremblingly, with an unprecedented humble posture: "Master, Fang Zhuyu's crime is indeed unforgivable, but the Weinan family and my Wanyuemen have been friends for generations. hurt their peace with us."

Jiaoyue frowned when she heard the words, as if she was considering the pros and cons.After a long time, he said slowly: "Then put Fang Zhuyu in custody first, and discuss it later."

"Yes, master." Lingshan said in despair with a gray complexion, "Since I am Fang Zhuyu's teacher, I am also responsible for his big mistake."

Cang Yue shook her head and said nothing, but ordered her disciples to take Fang Zhuyu away.Unexpectedly, Fang Zhuyu struggled suddenly, and said hoarsely while struggling: "Why! Why! He Jiang Gu is just a poor boy, without father or mother, not even a dog, not worthy to carry my shoes ! Why can he be the apprentice of Shuiyue Immortal Venerable! And I can only recognize an unknown immortal elder as my master! He is in the way of my eyes, so what if I kill ten or hundreds of him!"

"Shut his mouth and take him down." Cang Yue instructed her disciples.

I never imagined that Fang Zhuyu would break free directly, and shouted at Cang Yue with red eyes: "I am the eldest grandson of the Weinan family, and I am the proud son of heaven! You were just a few poor children of the Hanjiang clan before you were immortals. vassal……"

Before he finished speaking, a group of disciples who came over for the interrogation subdued him and gagged his mouth.

Cang Yue walked in front of him, and said coldly: "The talent is mediocre, but he is proud of his past honor, he belittles the immortal sect, but wants to be the apprentice of the immortal master, the master pleads for you, but you think he is unknown. Weinan If the Fang family's centuries-old family falls into your hands, it will surely lose."
