[Sword Three] Mountain Ghost Ballad

The person who came was a young man with a pale complexion. His facial features were ordinary, but his dark eyes carried a hint of menacing evil. The corners of his lips that were originally in a sarcasm gradually restrained themselves when he saw the shadow queen. .

"Your Excellency seems to come from a famous family, but you would deal with a child like a villain like Wang Mang!" Ying had a mask on his face, and his pair of deep eyes looked faint at the moment, "But today I am here, Don't even think about hurting this kid!"

Hearing what he said, the young man couldn't help but sneered, and said: "Okay! Okay! I knew that one day you would raise your sword to me anyway. This may be the fate that we both cannot escape!"

After all, the young man didn't care about Ying's response, so he jumped suddenly, jumped from the trap in the center of the main building, and quickly disappeared.

Just when everyone in the hall was confused about the identity of this mysterious man, there was a sound of footsteps, and a young woman with frost flowers on her temples ran in a little anxiously, but it was just outside who was in charge of dealing with the Spike Tang Qingling, she came in at the moment and looked around first, then stepped forward with a gloomy expression to salute the sect master and the elders.

"Qing Ling, what happened?" Mrs. Tang asked while leaning on a cane.She knew that although this granddaughter had a temper tantrum in small matters, she was extremely stable in major matters. When she saw her complexion, she immediately realized what had happened.

Tang Qingling breathed steadily, and said: "Just now, my brother Neimen and I activated the mechanism in the fort, and we have almost dealt with the thieves outside the fort. Originally, we found a secret letter from those thieves, but suddenly A strange man appeared and snatched the secret letter away. That man's lightness kung fu is extremely powerful, and his martial arts is not weak, I have been chasing him here, but I found that I have lost him!" When she said this, there was still a hint of emotion in her voice. With some annoyance.

"It doesn't matter..." Tang Aotian sighed, and said: "He has already been here just now, I am afraid that he is also with the person behind Wang Mang!"

"Already here...!?"

Tang Qingling turned pale with shock, and looked at the several elders around him, but was comforted by his grandfather Tang Huaiyi: "Don't worry, we are fine, the man may have left now, we don't know his purpose, we have to be more careful in the future That's good!"

Hearing this, Tang Qingling breathed a sigh of relief, and described the situation outside the main building, "Most of the Spike soldiers outside have been wiped out, Brother Wuying is leading people to clean up the mess, and the disciples in the sect are in good condition. Although a few people were injured, no one was injured."

"Okay! With Wuying here, I can rest assured that this time the Tang Sect finally survived the catastrophe safely..."

Tang Aotian's face was full of emotions, but a thought slowly rose in his heart. He moved his eyes to Mu Xuanying who was beside Yue Nonghen, his eyes were a little complicated and unclear, but on his face, he was grateful to Yue Nonghen and the others. : "This time the crisis of the Tang Sect almost destroyed a century-old foundation. Thanks to everyone's generous help, Aotian is very grateful. The kindness of saving the siege is really beyond repayment!"

Yue Nonghen hastily declined and said, "It's my duty to come to help me under the order of the leader of the alliance. Tangmen leader doesn't have to be so polite."

"The Lord of the Moon Altar is too humble. I see the master of the altar with superb swordsmanship. One against a hundred is already extremely powerful..." Tang Aotian praised Yue Nonghen bluntly, but then changed the subject: "But no Come to think of it, Mu Shaoxia is still very skilled at such a young age, where did he learn from?"

Tang Aotian asked quite casually, Mu Xuanying didn't think too much, so she didn't notice the complex look in the eyes of the head of the Tang Sect, and replied immediately: "Sister Yue taught it, but I'm relatively stupid. I couldn't learn Sister Yue's sword skills, so I had to chop and slash with my sword!"

"Oh, it really is a famous teacher who produces a good apprentice..." Tang Aotian smiled kindly on his face, with an expression of admiration, but in his heart he was thinking back to the few moves he saw the young man perform just now, clearly with Kong Mingjue Thinking that this young man came from Daoxiang Village, could it be that the Kong Ming Jue that his father left behind was in his hands?

Just a few thoughts flashed for a moment, Tang Aotian began to care about it, and politely said to Yue Nonghen: "Master Yuetan, you came here this time, and you have helped our sect so much, Aotian has not done well yet. Host, leaving like this, I'm afraid that the heroes from all walks of life will laugh at my Tang Sect's lack of hospitality. Moreover, there are many things involved in the Tang Sect today, and I am afraid that someone is secretly manipulating it. Why don't the Lord of the Moon Altar stay for a few days? It’s good to do some investigations before and after, and it’s just in time to trouble Master Yue Altar to send a letter to Leader Xie Yuan when he leaves.”

What Tang Aotian said was very reasonable, Yue Nonghen couldn't make a decision, so he asked for Xia Ying's opinion, but seeing Ying nodded and said: "You can stay here for a few days, I will go back first, the matter of Chengdu It needs to be reported to the leader as soon as possible."

"In that case, it's not good for me to disrespect the head of the Tang Sect. Maomao, let's stay in the Tang Sect for a few days... It's just A Miao, what about you?" Yue Nonghen decided to stay, and Mu Xuanying was naturally With her, but there is still a Miao here after all, she is not sure if this girl is willing to stay together.

But Jian Miao nodded indifferently and said, "I'll follow you."

"That's good..." Yue Nonghen heaved a sigh of relief, and then said to Tang Aotian: "Master Tang, look, the two children and I have been disturbing here for a few days."

Tang Aotian understood, and hurriedly said: "Miss Jiang is also my Tang Sect's savior, it would be great if you can stay together and let my Tang Sect treat you well!"

Just now Yue Nonghen has explained Miao's identity, saying that she is not from the Haoqi League, but just Mu Xuanying's childhood friend, but it is true that she defeated the Spike Crossbowmen and helped the Tang Sect to tide over the crisis. I am also very grateful to her.However, Tang Aotian said that he would treat her well, but in fact, he didn't really want this mysterious girl who didn't know her background and sect to stay with her, because the next thing he wanted to know, he needed to find clues from Mu Xuanying. , the two of them are good friends, and they are afraid that if she finds out, she will intervene.

However, when the time comes, he will just have to think of a way. He must find a way to get news from this young man about Kong Mingjue and some whereabouts left by his father, so as to glorify the Great Tang Sect!

--------------------------------

There is a vast expanse of bamboo in Tangjiabao, especially the courtyard located on the back mountain of Neibao, which is even more covered by bamboo forest, full of greenery, but although the scenery is beautiful, outsiders are usually not allowed to enter casually.

But because the three of Yue Nonghen had shown great kindness to the Tang Sect this time, the old lady Tang decided to arrange them in the courtyard of the back mountain bamboo forest during their short stay in the Tang Sect.Miao and Yue Nonghen lived in the same courtyard, and although Mu Xuanying and the others were different in gender, they lived in the house not far from them because they were still young.

Maybe it's because of getting older, the head of the Tang Sect and the four elders handle all the affairs of the Tang Sect, so the old lady Tang has a leisurely time. During the period when Yue Nonghen and the three juniors lived in the Tang Sect, she would come over from time to time to talk with them. They talked, and Yue Nonghen also respected this old lady who was over 100 years old and had a high seniority in the martial arts world, so she simply called Mu Xuanying and Miao to accompany the old lady for a walk and chat in the castle.

On this day, Mrs. Tang invited Yue Nonghen and the others to have dinner in a gazebo in Neibao. So I left early and went back to my residence, leaving Miao here to chat with the old and the young to relieve boredom.

The old lady Tang is exactly one hundred and four years old this year. When she was young, she was also a chivalrous woman who refused to give up her eyebrows. , "Cuiyu" in "Cuiyu White Clothes" refers to Mrs. Tang.This old lady can be said to be the old lady with the highest seniority in the Jianghu. In addition to having a son Tang Huaiyi, she also adopted four adopted sons. , and since Tang Jian disappeared, she has single-handedly led Tang Aotian, the current head of the Tang Sect, so the old lady's words in Tang Sect are very important, even the head of the Tang Sect and the four elders dare not disobey her.

The old lady Tang was competitive when she was young, but she didn't care much about the affairs of the Tang clan in her later years, leaving everything to the sect master and the four elders, and she only focused on her grandchildren's marriage.But maybe it was God's will, somehow, except for Tang Huaizhi among the five sons, they all married wives and had children, and life is going smoothly now, but it is the grandchildren who have problems.

First, Tang Wuxun, the eldest son of his grandson, is handsome and unrestrained, but he is a flamboyant young man. Busy and unintentional to start a family, that's fine, but the remaining three grandchildren also give her a headache... Tang Wujue knows how to play with hidden weapons all day long, and always keeps women away, but Tang Wule knows how to flirt with beautiful women on the side of the road. But Tang Wuyan didn't like anyone other than the Tang family, and although Tang Wuyan didn't have his brothers, it was a headache, but he still didn't talk about marriage.

Everyone is old and young, but there is no one who is willing to start a family at ease, which makes Mrs. Tang very worried.

But what worries her even more is not these grandchildren. After all, a man is indomitable and capable, so why not have a wife, but granddaughters are different!The four granddaughters are all the same as the grandson, and none of them can make her worry!

First, Tang Shuyan disappeared inexplicably a few years ago and never came back.Then Tang Ziyi fell in love with the real Zixu of Chunyang, but his marriage proposal was rejected, and he married Gao Lishi's godson in a fit of anger, while Tang Qingling had a bad reputation, so far no one dared to come to propose marriage... The youngest Tang Xiaowan recently The matter with Ye Fan has been raging all these years. Seeing that it can't be dragged on, Mrs. Tang ignored Tang Aotian's objection and directly betrothed Tang Xiaowan to Ye Fan, asking the other party to marry Xiaowan according to the ceremony of three matchmakers and six engagements. , I just let it go a few days ago, and only then did Mrs. Tang solve one of her worries.

So now I see Yue Nonghen, who is about the same age as her granddaughter. She is not only beautiful, but she is also one of the "Seven Stars" at a young age. She is stable and likable. My mind became active, thinking that if there is fate, maybe I can get together with one of my grandchildren...

So, this topic came up here, and the old lady said: "Miss Yue, I don't know if the family has arranged a marriage for you?"

Yue Nonghen was taken aback by the sudden turn of the topic, but replied: "The family has never arranged a marriage for Nonghen." But she was thinking about what Old Madam Tang meant when she asked this question.

"Oh? Then I don't know if Miss Yue has someone in mind?" Mrs. Tang asked after hearing something interesting.

"I..." Yue Nonghen really didn't know how to answer this time.When it comes to the person she likes, she suddenly thinks of the man she swore to be with her in Zaowang Peak back then. At that time, her young girl Huaichun was full of desire to be with the person she likes forever, but who would have thought that, But he was blind, and fell in love with a treacherous, unfaithful and unfilial person.Many years have passed, and she thought she had forgotten the past, but only now did she realize that she had never forgotten those things, but buried them in her heart, fearing that she would soften her heart when thinking about them.

Mrs. Tang has lived for so many years, and she has seen many people of all kinds in her life. Seeing Yue Nonghen's expression is different now, and she can't speak for a long time, she knows that there must be something hidden in it, that's all. Just pretend that her grandchildren are not that lucky and have no chance with this good girl.

The old lady, who knew that she might have brought up the sad things of the other party inadvertently, didn't say it directly to embarrass Yue Nonghen, but changed the topic thoughtfully, and the new topic was Miao who had been sitting quietly listening to them.

Mrs. Tang's first impression of this little girl named Jiang Miao was very good. She felt that she was strong in martial arts at a young age, had a rare quiet and docile personality, and was extremely considerate when getting along with friends.If she hadn't guessed that she might have a mutual affection with that Mu Shaoxia, she would have thought of keeping her as a granddaughter-in-law. Anyway, she has many grandchildren, so who might be destined to see each other?

However, since the other party is young after all, and he is also a guest of the Tang Sect at this time, the old lady Tang will naturally not be rude enough to ask such a question, but just pulls her to chat about some daily things, and when the conversation reaches her hometown, The old lady Tang thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty, but do you dare to ask Miss Jiang from Lishan?"

Yue Nonghen on the side also looked at Miao after hearing the words. She only knew that Miao was Mu Xuanying's partner when he was in Daoxiang Village, but she didn't know where Miao went or where she learned from after leaving Daoxiang Village.

Regarding this question, Miao was not afraid, nor did she intend to hide it, so she nodded directly and said, "I'm from Mount Li."

"Oh?" Old Madam Tang asked with such an expression, "The girl is a teacher of the Yin Yang Palace in Mount Li?"

Miao was really stunned this time. After all, in the Tang Dynasty, the Yin-Yang school, like Taoism and Mohism at that time, had long existed in name only. It no longer refers to a certain school in the pre-Qin period. Except for the branch that was passed down to Japan thousands of years ago, the only inheritance of Yin-Yang art in the Central Plains is the Lishan Yin-Yang Palace, so now some people think that she is a disciple of the Yin-Yang Palace, which is not wrong.

Therefore, she was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "...It can be said that I am indeed a teacher of Lishan Mountain, and I have also learned Yin-Yang Art." Xingchen Palace has never had any interaction with the disciples of Yinyang Palace.

The old lady Tang saw that she was vague, but she didn't care, because the way she broke into the door that day was different from the usual martial arts routines of Jianghu people. It is related to the palace, but it is only a guess. Now that it is confirmed, it is believed that this girl is not a disciple of the Yinyang Palace, and she must have been taught by a senior expert in the Yinyang Palace.

"Amiao is using Yin-Yang technique?" Yue Nonghen didn't know much about the Yin-Yang Palace mentioned by Mrs. Tang, "As far as I know, Yin-Yang Technique seems to be the technique used by the Onmyojis in Dongpu all the time." ?”

The old lady Tang saw that Miao was still obedient and quiet, so she took the initiative to answer Yue Nonghen's question, "The Yin-Yang Palace is located in Lishan Mountain, and it was passed down from the Yin-Yang School thousands of years ago. The Yin-Yang School is the same as Mohism, Confucianism, and Taoism." , were once a branch of the Hundred Schools of the Pre-Qin Dynasty. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, many schools of the Schools of Schools have perished, and some schools have split into different branches. Today's Yin-Yang Palace can be regarded as handed down by the Yin-Yang family. The larger part of the branch is also the orthodox place, but the disciples of the sect have never traveled outside, so there are not many people who know where they are. As for the onmyoji learned by the onmyoji in Dongying, it is similar to the concept of onmyoji in the pre-Qin period. It is quite consistent, but it is slightly different from that of the Yin Yang Palace. There are legends that the Yin Yang Art of Dongying is actually passed down from the Yin Yang family, and it was passed down by Xu Fu thousands of years ago when he was traveling to the east."

"So that's it, Nonghen has been taught." Yue Nonghen couldn't help but glanced sideways at Miao, determined to ask the well-informed Ying after returning.Thinking about it now, Ying at that time didn't seem to be surprised at A Miao's martial arts at all. It seemed that he knew about the Yin Yang Palace a long time ago.

Miao didn't admit or deny the old lady Tang's words. After all, in this era, she doesn't know much more than people here about many things that happened in the past. It's just that Xu Fudongdu mentioned in the old lady's words is actually Make her quite concerned.

If she remembered correctly, the new elder of the Yin Yang family seemed to be named Xu Fu, and he was also the one who first proposed the "Mage" project...

Miao, who was quite concerned about Xu Fu's affairs, wanted to ask, but unexpectedly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Tang Qingling, who was dressed in a blue dress, rushed over with a bad expression, and whispered something in Old Madam Tang's ear, which made her feel uncomfortable. Old Madam Tang's face also darkened.

Seeing this, Yue Nonghen thought that something happened inside the Tang Sect, so she wanted to avoid it, and said: "Since there is something in the Tang Sect, Miao and I won't bother you, so let's take our leave first and tell the old lady another day." consult."

"Wait a minute, Miss Yue!" The old lady Tang turned her face slightly, stopped Yue Nonghen, and said: "This matter is not about Tang Sect, but involves a lot. Miss Yue, as one of the 'Seven Stars', Why don't you go and discuss it together."

When Yue Nonghen heard this, she couldn't help being surprised, so she wondered, "Dare to ask the old lady, what happened?"

"Oh, it's a big event, and it may cause a sensation in the entire martial arts world!" Madam Tang sighed, leaned on a crutch, and stood up with Tang Qingling's support, with a dignified look on her face.

"All the heads of the major sects in the Central Plains who went to Chengdu to participate in the Dragon Slaying Conference disappeared overnight!"

The author has something to say:

In the game, I didn’t say whether Yan came or not, but the mysterious person who appeared at the end, the author guessed that she was Sister Yan~

ps: Jinjiang's River Crab Dafa really couldn't hold it, and the word "surprise/change" was swallowed, so I angrily changed the title.
