Disciples are all debts

Chapter 17 Returning to Shushan Road

Chapter 17 Returning to Shushan Road
Every day goes by, one day goes by, the appointment of worshiping the lord of the moon is approaching, I eat and sleep all day long, and live a very carefree life, but unfortunately it can't affect the people around me.Headed by Sect Master Tang, including Qiantuiyou and Tianji, they came to check on my physical condition every day. Naturally, I was in a mess and there was nothing to look forward to, so they became anxious day by day, and even proposed to simply rescind the appointment.

If the agreement is broken, the price will be that the Lord of Worshiping the Moon will transfer the hatred to the various factions in the Central Plains. In this way, Shushan will not be able to get rid of the relationship, the prestige and status will be at risk, and it may even be isolated by the Central Plains martial arts.At that time, Mount Shu was isolated and helpless, perhaps it was more like the Lord of Worshiping the Moon.The grievances between the two sects are small, if Shushan falls, the Central Plains will no longer have the sect power to deter foreign lands and protect the people, and the martial arts catastrophe will not be far away.

Compared with the entire martial arts world, my own safety is really insignificant and worth nothing.What's more, I don't have much time, if I can do one more thing for Shushan and Wulin, I can always rest in peace.Otherwise, if I have been reclusive for ten years without asking the world of mortals, how will I meet my master and the ancestors of Shushan in the future?

Peach Blossom Valley closed the door to thank the guests, and declared to the outside world that I want to retreat and practice kung fu, so I blocked all the lobbyists from the door.Considering that Tianji has bothered me a lot recently, I also blocked her outside.Only Luojia Mountain disciples are allowed to come and deliver meals every day.

It was finally quiet, and then I fell asleep every day, practicing exercises and so on, it was really a good excuse to lie.I can't wake up for a few hours every day, and then I feel drowsy and my energy is very poor.I thought that I had to get enough sleep before I could fight the Moon Worshiper.

I decided to stay in Luojia Mountain for the last day, and the next day I had to hurry to the west of Mount Sumeru.

I was falling asleep drowsily, when the wind blew through the wood door outside, then a phantom seemed to fly into the room, walked over step by step, and knelt down beside my low couch.Because of the aura of familiarity, I did not guard against my submerged spiritual consciousness, and I still slept peacefully with my arms on my side.

Xu Ying was silent for a while, straightened up and stood there for a long time, leaning over to get closer.

The hidden consciousness swept it away, and there was a faint fragrance of orchids blowing on the face. Immediately, I was hugged by someone, warm and pleasant. Immediately afterwards, the fragrance of flowers fell on the lips, lingered, and penetrated into the lips and tongue...

That embrace was tighter and warmer.The fragrance of the flowers is stronger and stronger.

It's so tight that I can't breathe, it's so warm that my blood roars, it's so thick that I drown in it, and it's so intense that I can't let go.

Consciousness walked into a dreamland of peach blossoms from the drowsiness, which was a paradise that only belonged to destiny, as if nothing in the world existed, only a shadow was hidden in the depths of the peach forest.I searched for that depth, and the peach blossoms bloomed step by step, layers of peach blossom miasma, the mist gradually disappeared, the tiny figure fell from the peach tree, and fell playfully into my arms.

"Master..." I don't know where to murmur, "I'm sorry, I never listened to your words, even if you are disappointed and sad in the future, I have to do it. But before we parted, how could I be willing, forgive me for deceiving my master and destroying my ancestors !"

Suddenly, I felt uneasy and uneasy, and the ripples in my heart reflected the lingering in the water mirror of Wu Gorge that day.I woke up in a cold sweat.

There was nothing in front of the couch.

Raise your hand to caress your lips, the temperature seems to be still there, and the residual fragrance seems to be still there.

Standing up in panic, there was a piece of letter paper beside the pillow.

"Master, when you wake up and read this letter, it should be three hours later, Tianji has left you, don't worry, you will see me again soon. But at that time, your state of mind will be different It's very different. Perhaps, you will regret that you took me in, raised me and taught me, but I don't regret the days and nights I spent by your side. But you should not guess how I felt when I left Take care, master, Tianji kneels goodbye."

After reading the letter, I was stupefied for a while, and then I found a little rosary powder by my pillow.

Is it so complete to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors?
I sat on the side of the couch blankly, not knowing the time.Until Qiantui rushed in through the door: "Mu Xiaowei is not good, your little apprentice disappeared again!" Seeing that I didn't respond, I was even more surprised, "Mu Xiaowei, are you stupid again? Xiaoji is gone, let's hurry up look for..."

I came back to my senses, folded and put away the letter paper: "There's no need to look for it."

Chitose You, who was about to run to the door, stopped and turned around: "Oh? Do you know where she went?"

She wrote that she would see her again soon, so there was no doubt about it.I said helplessly, "Mount Sumeru."

Chitose You slammed his head against the door frame: "Xiao Jiyang entered the tiger's mouth and went to the appointment for you?"

I heard my voice cool: "Not necessarily."

Chitose worried about something and was shocked: "Could it be that Xiaoji went back to Sumeru Palace to inherit the position of leader and betrayed your sect?"

I didn't answer the question, and said dumbly: "Could it be that the old man has failed in raising apprentices?"

Chitose couldn't bear to hit me, so he comforted and encouraged me against his will: "At least you did your best, didn't you? At least Xiaoji hasn't recovered Xumi Palace, destroyed Shushan and dominated the martial arts world, right?"

When autumn is getting stronger, we embark on the journey again.Although accompanied by Qiantoseyou and Wangcai, and headmaster Tang leading his disciples, I have no interest in looking forward to this unknown journey.

Go west out of the Central Plains, cross the Qichonghai, and cross the Qichong Mountains to enter the Western Holy Land.

Mount Sumeru is shrouded in clouds and mist, in the midst of nothingness, it is more than a thousand feet high, and it cannot be lifted up.At the foot of the mountain, there are hundreds of miles of barren grass and no trace, the voice of the Buddha is vague, and the sound of Buddhist chanting is silent. There is only a dead place for the rest of the life after the catastrophe. Impermanence.

The wild chrysanthemums are blooming against the majestic cliffs, as if indicating an inexhaustible new life.

I stepped into a chrysanthemum bush, and suddenly there was an earthquake under my feet.Wangcai jumped up with a whimper, and hid all over the floor.

"Earthquake?" Chitoseyou turned pale with shock, "Or a landslide?"

The disciples of Mount Luojia were also panic-stricken.Head Tang grabbed me and said worriedly: "Senior Brother Mu, be careful!"

Could this be landslides, landslides, seas and rocks?I pondered for a while, but I didn't understand it.Strolling over, the ground trembled even worse, the ground screamed like thunder, huge rocks rolled down the cliff, the vegetation broke, the sky and the earth trembled, the ground trembled and the mountains shook, as if a giant beast was about to come out of the ground.

Everyone's face was pale, fearing that they would die underground.I stood among the flowers, I didn't have time to comfort Wangcai, I just said to everyone: "Don't panic, it's just that Mount Sumeru is moving."

"That's all?" Qiantoseyou's face turned ashen, "You tell me why Mount Sumeru is moving?"

After a violent shaking, everyone fell to the ground, and I steadied my steps when I was about to fall: "Maybe, this is an earthquake zone?"

"Cen, you Mu Xiaowei!" Young Master Qian, who jumped into the flowers, resisted his dizziness and got up, with a chrysanthemum in his mouth, and when he was about to yell at me, he suddenly saw a strange scene in front of him.

Head Tang and his disciples were also stunned.

Mount Xumi cracked, and from the top of the mountain, a white jade staircase about ten feet wide was revealed. The upper half was hidden in the clouds and mist, and the lower half fell to the world. , not to stare at.

At this time, the Sanskrit sound came with the wind, filling the world.At the foot of Mount Sumeru, the vegetation was reborn, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, the dead leaves turned luxuriant and revived.

Announcement came from above the steps of the sky——

The Lord of Sumeru Palace has returned to the throne. From now on, Mount Sumeru will be restarted, and the holy land of the west will come to the world again!
After a long time to react, everyone who survived the catastrophe turned to me.Naturally, I looked at the ladder blankly, and said: "White jade is a ladder, it is really generous."

A coquettish laugh sounded behind him: "Sect Master Mu is humble. You raised the reincarnated soul boy and sheltered the new Palace Master. Didn't you single-handedly bring about the rebirth of Sumeru Palace today?"

The head of Tang turned around cautiously: "Worship the moon leader?"

"Oh, what's so strange seeing me? Isn't head Mu here to attend the appointment? Wouldn't it be gratifying to attend the succession ceremony of my beloved disciple by the way?" The crowd surrounded the moon-worshiping leader, and flew on the grass at an unpredictable speed, and arrived in front of him in a blink of an eye.The Lord of the Moon Worship is dressed in cassock, embellished with pearls and emeralds, lining his glamorous appearance, sitting on the car as if looking at the world, looking at me with pity, as if watching a rehearsal of reincarnation.Three points of ridicule and seven points of self-injury.Naturally, I can't help remembering the feelings that hurt me.

I withdrew my gaze from the cloud and looked down on her: "Today, the old man is here for an appointment, so just gossip, Master, please enlighten me."

She said in an increasingly compassionate tone: "Have you won me? If you don't believe me, you can try your inner breath, go through the Qi cave to Guanyuan, pass through Shimen, Qihai, Shenque, Shangyutang, Zigong, Suoxuanji. How do you feel?"

There is fine sweat on my forehead, of course it doesn't feel good, this acupuncture point is upside down, the internal breath can't be sustained at all, and every step is condensed, Suoxuanji point is completely impossible.This bad state was actually revealed by the opponent, and he fell behind before the fight.

"Senior Brother Mu, how are you doing?" Sect Master Tang became confused when he saw how I described it.

Chitose stood in front of me fearlessly, angrily pointing at the Moon Worshiper: "Bitch! What did you do to my brother?"

The leader of worshiping the moon was very surprised: "Oh, you don't know, the five decays of heaven and man in Sect Master Mu's body, the inner breath can't go through this vein at all, and if you can't go through this vein, how to bring the inner strength to the extreme, and how to use it too much?" The ninth stage of Wangqing? According to the test of the priests under this seat, head Mu fell into a coma after using the ninth stage of Wangqing last time, is it possible that he will repeat the same mistakes today and force his internal strength to fight against this seat?"

"Five declines of heaven and man?!" Qian Suyou and Tang's head lost their voices together.

Seeing this scene, the leader of Baiyue said happily: "Oh, Master Mu has worked so hard to hide it. I am a good person to do it to the end, and tell the two friends of Master Mu that there is no cure for the five declines of heaven and man. More importantly, Mu The head of the sect has entered the extreme of the five declines, and the remaining year is less than luck, Shushan will have to choose a new head next year, I don't know how Chongxu feels..."

The two people who were shocked in place had their own reactions.The face of the head of Tang was as dead as hell, Qiantui You was desperate and gritted his teeth while facing me to hide the truth from him, but at the critical moment he couldn't allow him to take the time to argue with me, so he suddenly seized the enemy's weakness and said loudly: "Chongxu Daoist How many years has it been since you became a fairy, temptress, you really are a crazy woman!"

I sighed, the truth finally could not be concealed.Sure enough, the face of the Patriarch of the Moon Worship suddenly turned white, and the wave of his hand was a blow full of inner strength: "You are talking nonsense!"

I pushed Qiantose You away with my palm, raised my hand to catch the blow, and the spring breeze melted into rain, eliminating the blow invisible.

——Of course, this is only on the surface. If you look carefully at the old man's feet, you will find a piece of scorched earth.

The Lord of Worshiping the Moon was enraged, so naturally he vowed not to give up, and threw another blow at Qiantuiyou, angrily said: "Chongxu is in retreat in Shushan, how can you curse him to become a fairy! I will kill you!"

Chitose You bouncing and dodging, still wanting to get addicted: "Ignorant fool! If Daoist Chongxu is here, how can Mu Xiaowei be the head? Your IQ and logic have been eaten by dogs?"

The master of worshiping the moon turned red-eyed and vowed to hunt and kill Qiantuiyou. With a flick of his casket, his internal force shot in all directions, attacking the enemy and his own disciples indiscriminately. He was obviously insane: "Chongxu is not dead! Chongxu is not dead! Mrs. Mu Wei Wei, you prove to me that your master is only retreating! I have not seen him yet, so he is not allowed to die!"

I was busy saving people and resisting the indiscriminate attacks of Southern Xinjiang's top skills, so I didn't have time to respond to her.I dragged Chitose Worry to dodge again and again, and this guy would turn around frequently to quarrel with the Moon Worshiper, so busy that I almost wanted to find a rag to stuff his mouth.

"Mu Xiaowei, what's the matter with your expression of raising an unworthy son?" This guy finally realized something belatedly, "Could it be that you deliberately concealed the truth about Chongxu's eclosion? Don't you want to give that demon A knowing blow, directly disintegrating and breaking her emotions?"

"Don't you think she is the one who wants to disintegrate us now? To provoke her, do you want to die faster?" Throwing this thing down, I looked around the scene, and the head Tang covered the disciples retreating and had no time to deal with it. He exposed himself to the attack of the Moon Worshiper.I turned around and walked away, teleported to her, and took another blow.

The master of worshiping the moon kept attacking continuously, like a rainstorm of pear blossom needles, and there was no time for people to stop, still angrily said: "Where did Mu Taiwei die?"

I turned into nine phantom clones, and after receiving the next round of combo attacks, I wiped off my sweat: "This junior, you still have a breath. If the leader really wants to see my master, please don't kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

But she no longer believed me, and said angrily: "I am going to kill innocent people indiscriminately, why doesn't he come to stop me? Why doesn't he come to protect what he calls the common people in the world? Maintain his morals?"

Before I could say any more words of advice, she was already insane to the extreme, with her arms outstretched, the sacrifice of worshiping the moon worshiped the gods landed, and the fire of the gods was shot from her dharma.

The flames are coming!

"Senior Brother Mu, be careful!" Sect Leader Tang shouted in shock.

"Mu Xiaowei, get out of the way!" Qiantui said in a hurry.

I made a hand trick, and I was about to pick it up.Suddenly, a white shadow fell from the steps of the clouds, and flowers of the void filled the sky, forming a void wall, which could barely block me.The white shadow fell to the ground, the slender fingers overlapped and sealed, and the phantom flowers formed an eight-petal mandala, holy and pure, overflowing with golden light.The moment the flames came, the mandala exploded immediately, and the eight-petal flower died together with the flames.

How could the murderous Moon Worshiper allow anyone to resist? He got up and set foot on the court, offering a Moon Worship Kill!

The murderous intent spread from one point, expanding into a round of bright moon, the shadow was wide, covering the sky and covering the earth, like Mount Tai pressing down on the sky!

The air was suddenly compressed, and the situation was critical. I put my hands together on my chest, forced out all my true strength, pulled out the energy of the meridians, and drew it out of my palms. A group of Hunyuan stood in front of the two of them and swung it with all its strength!
An invisible beam of true energy contained the power of heaven and earth, the fury of thunder, and the whirlwind of a hurricane, piercing through the transparent moon killing intent in an instant, freezing it, and then covering the entire moon worship leader Dharma.

In an instant, there was a loud noise, and the dharma driver was torn apart. The surrounding congregation were all bounced away by the shock wave. The Moon Worshiper fell out of the car, staggered to the ground, covered his heart with his hand, and bloodshot eyes appeared at the corner of his mouth.The deity was damaged, and the bright moon's murderous intent burst open in the condensed Hunyuan.

The force of the explosion bounced back, and I took a step back, blocking in front of the unfamiliarly dressed apprentice, raising my palms to re-establish a Hunyuan barrier, deflecting the approaching momentum.Due to the operation of the Taishang Wangqing Kungfu, the Hunyuan Realm thinly circled around my body, making me feel very clear about my side.You don't have to turn around to sense the actions of the little apprentice behind you.

She raised her eyes in confusion between life and death, and her eyes were fixed in a line, staring at my figure, focused and persistent.I had no time to pay attention to her, nor was I able to say anything.Compliment her that the mandala mahamudra is getting stronger?Or praise her as a critical nurse whose filial piety is still alive?
It is enough to erase everything by running away privately and causing people to worry about it. My master has failed so much, so I don't have the face to say anything.Seeing that I didn't take the initiative to talk to her, she also remained silent.

After all, with the Moon Worshiper in front, I didn't dare to be too distracted, so I let her go for the time being, although I felt very uncomfortable in my heart.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, the expression of the Moon Worshiper looked over was extremely unbelievable.

"Hunyuan Realm! How is it possible?" She was finally sober at this moment, still shocked, "Mu Taiwei, how is it possible?!"

While secretly transporting my true essence and adjusting the internal energy of the external strength and the internal energy, I pretended to be leisurely and said: "How is it impossible? Twenty years ago, the leader must have been defeated by this trick, right? But, the one who used this trick at that time, It is my master Chongxu Daoist. Twenty years later, you are still defeated by this trick. Therefore, there is no need for my master to see you."

As if being killed by lightning, the woman who had been obsessed with it for more than 20 years was shocked and almost lost: "You, you obviously fell into the five evils of heaven and man..."

I was noncommittal, and just said indifferently: "The five declines of heaven and man are the reasons why you think you can despise Chongxu Zhenren's true disciple, who is now the head of Shushan?"

After a brief shock, she went mad again: "Okay! A good disciple taught by Chongxu! I finally appreciate you a little bit, and I am suddenly looking forward to it!" She turned her gaze to the preoccupied Tianji, speaking like a dream , "20 years ago, it was also here, Chongxu and I, and the bitch Youtan from Sumeru Palace, who they called the venerable woman. At that time, the three of us fought against each other, and at the same time, the three of us were fighting How similar..."

I frowned, this analogy is really nondescript.

The unfamiliar Tianji, dressed in white clothes, passed in front of me and looked forward: "Didn't the leader promise not to embarrass my master, why did he go back on his word?"

Hearing this, I felt something was wrong.

The leader of worshiping the moon said coldly: "Anyone who violates this seat's taboo can be killed! So what if this seat made an agreement with you? We are just a deal, and your bargaining chip has not yet been cashed!"

Tianji did not show weakness: "I swear in the name of the successor master of Sumeru Palace that the agreement between you and me will be valid forever, unless I die, but if you breach the contract even by a single bit, even if Sumeru Palace is overthrown, I will never overthrow it." It will make your plan succeed!" After saying that, he turned around and glanced at me lightly, then withdrew and flew away.

The sun was dazzling, and I couldn't see very far. She flew to the cloud steps, and her figure disappeared into the golden light.

Before I could sort out my emotions, the Lord of Worshiping the Moon also disappeared with the congregation, and only sent me a sentence: "Today, this seat has been defeated. When the plan of this seat is completed, if you are not dead, come to seek revenge against this seat." Bar."

The disciples of Mount Luojia who escaped from death seemed to be in a dream.Qiantuiyou rushed over quickly: "Mu Xiaowei, you just used the ninth level of Yuanyuan Realm of Taishang Wangqing? You beat the old witch of the Moon Worship Sect to the ground, so handsome! By the way, can you pass it on to me? Oh By the way, isn’t your internal breath not able to pass through the Qi Acupuncture, how can you brew the ninth stage?”

I said with a blank expression: "No transmission. You can't go through the Guanyuan meridian through the Qi acupoint, and go through another meridian. Seventy percent of the true Yuan old man can also reach the ninth level."

Chitose sighed worryingly: "Mu Xiaowei, you really are not ordinary, you can use all kinds of unorthodox skills. Is there still time for my son to inherit your mantle when he enters Shushan?"

I continued with a slumped face: "It's too late. You call Wangcai here first."

"Can you not be stingy?" Chitoseyou whistled at Wangcai reluctantly.

Now that there is no danger, Wangcai rushed forward, his plump body and soft fur made him feel very comfortable.The old man who had already collapsed had no internal energy, so he fell over according to Wangcai's fur...

After being in a coma for half a month, when he woke up again, he was far away from Mount Sumeru, and the rivers and lakes had already been turned upside down.

Chitose worried around me: "Mu Xiaowei, you just woke up, this is your honey water, drink it first and then listen to me in detail."

I've been in a coma for too long, and I'm a little dizzy. After drinking the honey water, my mind is still a little confused: "Where's Tianji?"

Thousands of years ago, blue veins twitched on his forehead: "Xiao Ji, I am no longer your soft and waxy apprentice. He is now the master of Sumeru Palace. During the time you were in a coma, she reunited with the sect of Mount Sumeru. Sumeru Palace has not been destroyed at all, it is just hidden in the rivers and lakes, and the holy mountain will be opened when the time is right. Now it is even more arrogant and domineering than when the old palace master was there. Venerable Utan will restrain the congregation anyway, but Tianji adopts a laissez-faire strategy. Mount Xumi reappeared in the world, following a sinister route of revenge. Tianji first used the Nine Yi faction to stand out, and now it is an existence that shocks the world. Even the Moon Worship Sect has disappeared, and all the martial arts factions have gone to Shushan to find Piao Yazi Let’s ask for an explanation. We will temporarily place you in a town at the foot of Shushan Mountain, and the factions will not pass through here. Firstly, it will be convenient for you to recuperate, and secondly, it will be convenient for you to communicate with Shushan..."

I was a little overwhelmed with all the news, but the key sentence popped into my ears, and I couldn't help but sink my heart. I interrupted Qian Suyou: "What does Tianji mean by taking Jiuyi Pai Liwei first?"

Qiantoseyou was silent for a moment, then poured me another bowl of sugar water: "You drink another bowl to make a base, so I dare to tell you."

I raised my hand and refused: "What did she do to the Jiuyi faction?"

While paying attention to whether there will be any unexpected situation for me, while trying to downplay it as much as possible, Chitoseyou said slowly: "At the beginning Mount Sumeru was attacked and attacked, the dead were scattered, and even the reincarnated soul boy was hunted down. The key is that there are internal traitors mixed in. In fact, all factions are inseparable from each other. It was also mentioned in the martial arts conference in Jiangling City that the Jiuyi faction took the main credit for that operation, and it is said that the secret book of Mount Sumeru, the Purana, also fell into the hands of Zhuo Ziyang, the head of Jiuyi. So Xiaoji first sought out the bad luck of the Jiuyi Sect. When you were unconscious, Xiaoji and her congregation broke into Jiuyi Mountain, injured all the disciples of the Jiuyi Sect, destroyed the ancestral hall of the Jiuyi Sect, and... ..."

Revenge must not stop here, I sighed and asked: "What else?"

Under my persecution, Qian Suyou finally stopped talking, gritted his teeth, and said, "I also killed Zhuo Ziyang and several close disciples, including Zi Mo..."

My heart sank to the bottom, and I couldn't open my mouth for a long time.

Sumi Palace's successor master slaughtered the Nine Yi Sect, became famous in the first battle, and the Demon Sect was born.All factions in the martial arts are facing the enemy, everyone is in danger, and they all go to Shushan to ask for help.

Five days after the Nine Yi faction was destroyed, the Junshan faction was also bathed in blood.When the news came, I suppressed my dizziness and asked Master Tang to send a letter to my junior sister, Elder Shushan Yinbing, asking her to come to see me.

It is conceivable that Shushan has been looking for me for a long time, and the cost of raising the rebellious disciples comes from me. The so-called wrong has the head and the debt has the owner, and the martial arts factions are also looking for me.Naturally, I cannot escape responsibility and hide from the world.

Drinking ice came sooner than I expected, and I was meditating at that time.

I broke open the firewood gate, and the Shushan elder standing in front of me was full of anger: "Senior brother! You are so idle in the martial arts world! The whole Shushan Mountain is full of rivers and lakes looking for you, but you are at the foot of Shushan Mountain!"

I opened my eyes and slowly focused my sight: "Junior Sister, the old man is still the head of the sect right now."

The female elder who had to hold back her anger for a while knelt down and said, "Drink the ice to pay respects to the head brother."

"How is it on the mountain now?" I raised my hand and told her to get up and sit down.

"The front of Qing Palace on Wuwang Peak is crowded with various sects! Senior brother Piao Yazi is extremely busy every day, trying to appease all the sects! The disciples of the generation of Shushan have all gone down the mountain to compete against Sumeru Palace! What is the master's plan?"

I breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Did Xumi Palace take action against the disciples of Shushan?"

"At present, there are no casualties among my disciples. I heard that Sumeru Palace avoided the road when they saw the disciples of Shushan. They did not take the initiative to fight, and the fight was just perfunctory. If this continues, all the righteous sects will denounce us as Shushan allies of the devil. ! The Master of Palace Sumeru came from the senior brother’s sect, and is also a closed disciple of the senior brother, how should we explain to the righteous way? How can we lead the righteous way to regulate the martial arts?”

In response to this refutation, I closed my eyes and said: "No need to explain. The speech is in the mouth of others, and they can say it. Shushan disciples can take this opportunity to restrain the disciples of Sumeru Palace from causing chaos in the rivers and lakes. The master of Sumeru Palace, Tianji, leave it to me .”

Drinking ice and knelt down again: "Wulin is in danger, Shushan is shaken, please go back to the mountain, master!"

This year's records of strange stories in the Jianghu recorded that Mu Taiwei, the head of Shushan Mountain who had been missing for ten years, reappeared in the Jianghu.In times of chaos, Mu Zhenren returned to Shushan to restore the head of the sect, and the rivers and lakes were put on hold.

It has been ten years since I set foot on the stone steps of Shushan Mountain again.

For the first time, Wangcai put on the look of a horse, bent his front legs and knelt, waiting for me to sit on his back.Although the snobby choice of giving different treatment because of the identity of the owner is quite reserved, I still did not choose to ride up the mountain.

Head Tang was worried and insisted on escorting me.Chitose didn't say much, looked at my thinner body, and decided to accompany me up the mountain.

On the left and right, life and death belong to the green hills of Shushan Mountain. While I can still breathe and take steps, I personally set foot on the green grass and stone steps leading to the top of the mountain.Lifting up the hem of the clothes and walking on the road, sometimes looking at the mist and circling white cranes in the mountains, I can't help but remember the scene of going up the mountain when I was young.At that time, the master carried me up the mountain, walked and took care of me, saw that I was bored, he took me into the wild path to explore, and saw that I was tired, he took me to the sky...

I lowered my head to look at the endless weeds spreading wantonly outside the stone steps. The grass and trees withered year after year, but they withered and flourished every year.Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again.The time of a lifetime is just a flick of a finger, and it will never come again when it is gone.If in the future I am buried in Qingshan, who will pass by the place where my bones are buried?
There are tens of thousands of steps, and every step has a memory of the past. It seems that when I go back to Shushan, I am reminiscing about my life.

There is an end to the endless stone steps, just like the end of an endless life.

The Shushan disciples came out of the hall, lined up in two rows, went down the mountain, and greeted each other along the stone steps.The Baizhang Square in front of the Patriarch Hall of the Longevity Palace was full of disciples in Tsing Yi, some holding swords or stags.In front of the disciples, Piao Yazi stood side by side with Yin Bing, leading the disciples to kneel down, the sound of brushing clothes was like the wind, and the voices of all people merged into a mountain sea.

"Welcome to the head—"

The twelve peaks of Shushan Mountain, the bells are ringing, and the thousand tones are endless, stretching into the mountains for hundreds of miles.This is the bell for the resettlement of the head, announcing Shushan and the world.

A group of cranes perched in the mountains soared into the sky, and the cranes sang among the clouds.In the meantime, a crane flew over the crowd and circled around me endlessly. It was vaguely the same brother crane that brought me to Shushan back then.

It has been 20 years.

After paying homage to the Patriarch's Hall, I wearily stepped into the Xiaoyao Hall, where the head master lived after a ten-year absence but was still familiar as yesterday. The tables and chairs were spotless and spotless.

A person followed, with light footsteps, and said joyfully: "Master Uncle, the Xiaoyao Palace that Lan Ruo has cleaned up, can you still see it? I heard that Master Uncle hasn't come back for ten years. Do you still remember this place? Lan Ruobai Since entering Shushan, I have never seen anyone living in the Xiaoyao Palace, now it's all right, the head of the Xiaoyao Palace has finally moved in!"

I sat on a wooden chair casually, and nodded: "You cleaned up very well. It was never so clean when my uncle lived here before. The arrangement of things here has not been touched, right?"

"No!" Lan Ruo looked at me again and again with her watery eyes, and said hastily, "Master Uncle Zu told you not to touch a single piece of paper in the Xiaoyao Palace. It is said that many of them were arranged by Chongxu." The next one is the familiar appearance of the master and uncle, no one dares to touch it!"

I looked at her watery look at this moment, and couldn't help but think of my little apprentice, if she was here at this time, I could still tell her about my childhood in Xiaoyao Temple and how her master disciplined her master severely Yes, compare how her master treats her leniently.But then I remembered, now, I'm afraid it's impossible for me to talk to her calmly like this, right?How did all this develop to this point?
"Uncle Master, what's wrong with you?" Lan Ruo stepped forward and asked anxiously.

I leaned against the armrest, lowered my eyes and didn't want to speak, so I just slightly raised my finger and pointed to the table beside me.

Lan Ruo quickly poured a cup of tea on the table and brought it over.

After drinking Shushan tea, the bitter and astringent taste spread on my lips and tongue, and I was surprised that I could still feel the taste.In the past, I hated Shushan bitter tea so much that I refused to drink it. Master could always taste different flavors, saying that I was not in a good mood so I refused to drink bitter tea.I have indeed escaped the bitterness of my life, and I like all sweet things.But now, this bitter taste doesn't seem to be that bad.Because of its bitterness one after another, from light to strong, deep into the blood, it is quite unforgettable, and it also reminds me of my responsibility as the master.

Could this be the state of mind that Master had when tasting the bitter tea?Being the head of the sect has never been so easy, and life has never been all about sweetness.

"Uncle Master, can you drink this bitter tea?" Lan Ruo looked at me in shock, just like I was shocked when I watched Master tasting tea.

"There is only this kind of tea in the Xiaoyao Palace, and you can only drink this kind of tea when you stay in the Xiaoyao Palace." I held my cup and smiled, "Do you think the rules set by the ancestors of Shushan are bad?"

Lan Ruo felt extremely sympathetic to me, and nodded in agreement: "Uncle Master, do you want to secretly put some sugar in it?"

I couldn't help but think of the situation in Jiangling City, when my little apprentice gave me medicine with sugar...

"Uncle Master, what are you thinking?" The always curious nephew and grandson.

"Think of a story about being cheated on."

Because Shushan promised to give an explanation to Wulin, the representatives of various factions who came to Shushan did not have the impulse to come to the Longevity Palace to ask me for an explanation.In any case, Shushan's attitude is clear, the arrogance towards Xumi Palace must be suppressed or even extinguished, and the root causes of the current situation are diverse, although I have an inescapable responsibility for it.

At this stage, the various factions have been appeased, and Shushan disciples have been sent down the mountain to assist the various factions in defense, trying to keep everything safe.The only talismans for each faction are the disciples of Mount Shu, so their purpose of going up the mountain has been achieved.Going back can be regarded as a business trip.

After the delicate balance between the two parties was reached, I ordered my disciples to send posts to the representatives of each faction, inviting each faction to attend the inauguration ceremony of the head of the sect next month.

Shushan is preparing for the grand ceremony, the rivers and lakes have returned to a moment of tranquility, and the revenge plan of Sumeru Palace seems to have slowed down. In short, everything is progressing in false harmony.

The winter moon is coming in a blink of an eye, the climate in Shushan is getting colder and colder every day, and the mountains are surrounded by white mist all day long. I also stay in the Longevity Palace all day long.

"Junior brother, is your plan really feasible? Will she really come?" Piao Yazi retreated a foot away from my brazier, as if he couldn't stand the charcoal flames.

Sitting by the fire, I still felt that the flames were not enough, so I stirred the flames to make it burn hotter, and murmured: "I sent her an invitation, and she will definitely come."

"After coming here, how will you deal with her?" After learning about my plan, Piao Yazi endured it for so many days, and finally asked out worryingly.

I put my hands on the fire, and freely penetrated the flames. The firelight illuminated the blood in my hands, making my fingers white and pale like paper: "I have my own way."

With such a blockage, it is not easy for Piao Yazi to continue asking.After being silent for a while, he looked at my hands: "Junior brother, you are getting more and more chilly, shall I let Lan Ruo cook some medicinal soup to make up for you?"

"Then I'll be in trouble." I lazily replied, "I've lived in Taohuawu for a long time, and I'm not used to the cold air on the mountain. By the way, is Little Carp still looking after my two apprentices in Taohuawu?"

"Jing Li is obedient and never leaves. I wrote to say that the two children miss you and ask you to go back early. Will the younger brother bring the two children here?"

"No need. Just let them stay in Taohuawu and stay away from the disputes in the world." My heart softened, and I was very worried.

After seeing off Piao Yazi, I went back to the desk, poured hot tea into the inkstone, rolled up my sleeves and studied ink.In winter, the inkstone freezes into ice, and my hands are sore from grinding, but it doesn't melt much.I looked at the little ink in the inkstone, and estimated that it might not be enough for me to write vigorously.

The uninvited Chitose Worry barged in without knocking, bringing a gust of cold wind: "Mu Xiaowei, what are you doing? Is there anything interesting? My son is going to be moldy on the mountain!"

The sudden cold wind made me raise my hands to tighten my coat, put down the ink stand, and warmed my hands: "Do you know what kind of punishment you will be punished for trespassing on Xiaoyao Palace?"

"My son has delicate skin and tender flesh. I refuse to be punished with a rod. Are there any other small punishments?"

"Yes." I let out the book case and pointed, "Grind this inkstone away."

"Tsk tsk, you don't have the strength to do this at all. If your senior brother knows, why don't you take the opportunity to kill you and replace you?" The bastard rolled up his sleeves and worked hard on the stage.

I snuggled up to the brazier and watched the flames jumping with a smile: "You know that my senior brother is most afraid of others saying that he will replace him, so be careful not to violate his taboo."

"What's the matter, he can still silence me? As the confidant of the head of Shushan, he still wants to get my idea as the head of the sect?" Qian Suyou, who was humming a ditty, instantly turned the tune to Shiba Mo .

"The old man has never broken with you, please respect yourself."

It took half a day to write a letter to Tianshu and Tianxuan. The instructions to Taohuawu inside and outside are nothing more than eating more, going to bed early, and adding clothes to the sky. Look after the peach forest in the coming year, and remember to sell the fruit during the autumn harvest. A good price, and regards Uncle Fu and others.As for the return date for the teacher, there is no date yet, so don't worry too much, and return to Taohuawu after the matter is over.

Originally, I wanted to summarize the main points, but when I wrote it, I found that the main points were everywhere, so I had to explain everything in detail one by one.

Chitose You watched me chattering about with a pen, using one letter after another, piled up like a mountain, and looked sideways: "Mu Xiaowei, are you writing a letter or a long novel?"
