Beside Hou Jiangcheng, there was a thin, strange man in his fifties, with some graying on the temples. He had a horse face, long and narrow eyebrows, two splayed nose lines, and a slightly protruding lower jaw. He looked quite majestic when he looked at him. --He followed Hou Jiangcheng on foot up the mountain, not out of breath, calm and composed, obviously not an ordinary person.
"Senior Brother Zhao, let me get to know each other. This is Junior Brother Wei from the Kunlun Sect. At the invitation of the head of the sect, he is a guest at Liantao Mountain."
The thin man nodded. There was a smile on his face, obviously not used to small talk. < /p>
This Emperor Zhao is a legend of Taiyi Sect. Wei Qiqi also heard about it in Kunlun, the Western Region.
Chu Tianyou, the master of Fenglei Hall, is very strict in selecting his disciples. He has two direct disciples, Jiang Keyao and Wen Zhuanpeng, and one named disciple, Zhao Deyi. As for Cheng Hou, he was only included in Chu Tianyou's list in recent years. Door' wall.
From the very beginning, Chu Tianyou positioned Taiyi Sect as the mysterious gate of the human world, rooted in the mortal world, and pointing at the way of heaven. To this end, he deployed two tricks to build Liantao City and recruit Emperor Zhao. Since then, the material resources of the Middle Earth have been continuously transported to Liantao Mountain, and Taiyi Sect has been favored by everyone. It has become a sacred place admired by Xuanmen in the world, faintly superior to Kunlun.
Pan Chengnian was strong, but in terms of influence, he was not as good as his junior brother Chu Tianyou.
Accepting Zhao Deyi as a registered disciple was certainly out of practical considerations, but Chu Tianyou did not treat him badly. Emperor Zhao was over seventy years old, and he was as fierce as a dragon and a tiger, and he had endless heirs. When the prince rebelled and the capital was in chaos, it was all thanks to Jiang Keyao's intervention to protect the emperor, and then the rebels were killed and the chaos was brought to an end.
Zhao Deyi knew in his heart that as long as Taiyi Sect did not fall, he, the emperor, could continue his work with peace of mind. It would not be a problem for generations to come, and it would not be a problem to continue sitting on the dragon throne for another hundred and eighty years. .
Although it would be detrimental to the emperor's face to think so, Zhao Deyi was determined to hug Chu Tianyou's thick 'leg'. He responded to the Taiyi Sect's requirements and even went to the temple in person every year. Visiting the Master at Liantao Mountain, he climbed the mountain alone to show his piety, served tea and water, and presented him with a generous gift list.
This year at the foot of Liantao City, he met Cheng Hou who had returned from the capital, and they happened to go up the mountain together.
Although he had lived in the Forbidden City for a long time, Zhao De was very concerned about the grievances between the Taiyi Sect and the Kunlun Sect. He heard Cheng Hou say that the drunk man in front of him was the guest of the master of the Kunlun Sword Cultivator. , was very surprised, but he remembered this name.
The three of them rested for a while in Wenxin Pavilion, watching the twilight color settle little by little. Hou Jiangcheng called Zhao Deyi to get up. Fenglei Hall was at Axe Peak, and there was still a long way to go before leaving. Beforehand, he winked at Wei Shiqi, who understood and continued to stay in Wenxin Pavilion.
Waiting until mid-night, Hou Jiangcheng returned to Wenxin Pavilion. Under the cold moonlight, his face was greasy, and he raised his hand from time to time.My sleeves were wiped with sweat, and my front, chest, back, and armpits were all soaked, and I was in a miserable state.
The two sat opposite each other. For a moment, Wei Shiqi wanted to hand him a cigarette. The night shrouded Liantao Mountain, with two points of bright and dim light, and a few wisps of misty smoke. Green smoke, it will be a picture full of emotion.
Unfortunately, there are no cigarettes in this world.
How did he survive these years without cigarettes, mobile phones, air conditioning, or computers?
Wei Shiqi did not rush him. Hou Jiangcheng took a breath and said: "First I went to Luocheng to find Hou Jiangdong, then I went to the capital to find Chen Dong. When I returned to Liantao Mountain, I met Zhao Deyi and went up the mountain together, and we were delayed for a while in Fengling Palace.
I am too fat to walk on the mountain road, so there is nothing I can do..."
Wei Shiqi remained silent and looked around. He was looking at the other person, but his mind was elsewhere.
Hou Jiangcheng started talking nonchalantly.
The heirloom of the Hou Mansion is called the Eight Girls Fairy Le Ping. It is unclear where it came from. It was passed to Hou Jiangdong and within ten years, it was claimed by Hou Ying. Go and sell to Chen Dong, a wealthy businessman in the jewelry business. According to Hou Jiangdong, it seemed that Hou Ying had offended a big shot in the capital and was in urgent need of a large sum of money to smooth things over, so he had no choice but to give up the eighth daughter Xian Leping.
Hou Jiangdong rushed to the capital to see Chen Dong. The name of Taiyi Sect disciple was very useful. Chen Dong treated him very politely and asked about the Eight Female Immortal Leping. If someone takes a fancy to it, it will be gone in exchange for something, and it has long been out of his hands.
As for the origin of the Eight Female Immortal Le Ping, Chen Dong heard someone mention it once or twice. This screen is an ancient thing, and the female le in the screen is not a physical body, but It's not a soul, but a little bit of soul. The spiritual nature is not destroyed, and it can sing and dance well. It is not uncommon to drive female music. What is even more rare is that if one obtains the formula, one can capture female music out of the screen and sing and dance, all of which are gentle and satisfying.
Unfortunately, screens are easy to obtain, but formulas are difficult to find.
In front of Hou Jiangcheng, Chen Dong did not hide anything. He said frankly that the man was a Kunlun sword cultivator and a native of Tonglu Town. His surname was Chu. He had known him since he was a child. He calmed down with a bottle. Chen Dong was willing to exchange pills for the eighth female fairy Leping. To him, the Eight-Nv Immortal Le Ping is just a plaything. There are as many young and beautiful women as he wants. On the contrary, the Ping Fu Dan heals injuries and prolongs life, and even gold and silver can't buy it.
At the end, Hou Jiangdong said: "Chen Dong did not say the name of the person. If there is no accident, the Eight Female Immortal Leping should have fallen into the hands of a sword cultivator named Chu at Liushi Peak. If Junior Brother Wei is interested, he might as well go to Flowing Stone Peak to look for it."
Wei Shiqi nodded slightly, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother."
"Hehe, it's easy to say." "
The person Chen Dong said was from Tonglu Town, and his surname was Chu. He was most likely Chu Ge, Pu Tianwei's disciple. As his disciple, he found the eight female fairy Leping and presented it to his master to relieve his worries. It's also reasonable. However, the Five Elements Sect secretly exchanged tunes with the Cavalry General Xu Changsheng. When Xu Changsheng was in a cold state, Chen Dong helped him.Chu Ge and Chen Dong were both from Tonglu Town and had a small friendship. With all these clues connected, Wei Shiqi suspected that Chen Dong's identity was not simple.
"Senior Brother Hou, from today on, you are Senior Brother Cheng of Taiyi Sect's Fenglei Palace. Let the past names and past events be forgotten. You and I have forgotten them. Let's look forward. ."
After hearing his words, Hou Jiangcheng felt a little sad when he remembered the bumpy past, and murmured: "Thank you, my junior brother, let's look forward to everything."
Wei Shiqi waved his hand towards him and walked toward Heqiao Peak under the moonlight. He touched the moonlight rotating mirror on his chest, thoughtfully. A little soul is absorbed into the mirror, and a little soul is stored in the screen. Could this Moonlight Rotating Mirror and the Eight Girls Fairy Screen be made by the same person?
He became more and more interested in this whimsical "ancient weapon refining master".
Back in front of the Hejifeng Cottage, Bian Ya lay on his sister's legs and fell into a deep sleep. Bian Ci put his index finger on his lips, signaling that he should not wake his sister up.
Wei Shiqi sat next to her, took off the leather bag from his waist, and placed it in front of her. Bian Ci asked in a low voice: "What is it?"
She untied the rope and poured out a pile of "single eyes". Under the firelight, they looked like bulging fish eyes, bright and bright.
