Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1075 Four Seasons
Although his gaze was obscure, Ning Wan could see it clearly!
The Ning family and the Situ family...isn't it just a simple feud! The hatred between Ning Tiaoxiao and Situ Tong is as deep as the East China Sea and cannot be resolved. The hatred between her and Situ Huo himself is even more difficult to reconcile...No wonder she looked pale!

Situ Tong was a rapist and plunderer, without any regard for the younger generation, which left him with a huge hatred. Situ Huo was smart and hid in the sea, which was better than Situ Niu who was caught between the two sects. At one point, his Dharma body was broken by Chi Wei and he was almost beaten to death!

But he finally made it to the day of success, and the Element Master wanted to take it out on him before he died!
He lost an arm in that fight and was in a very miserable state. How could a man like Situ Huo not bear a grudge?

Her eyes were quiet, her heart was cold, and she remained silent.

The feud between her own Elemental Master Ning Tiaoxiao and the Situ family has a long history and was unavoidable. Although she was in seclusion when Ning Tiaoxiao died, she still understood many things clearly.

'When the Northern War was about to begin, the Lord knew that he would soon die, so he went to capture Situ Huo once... Unfortunately, this last time... he was unsuccessful.'

Ning Tiaoxiao was very famous throughout his life, and he was even more famous for his big mouth. He was quite capable, and relied on his magic skills and the "Sound of the Cave Spring" which was both a physical and life-saving supernatural power to beat down a group of villains. Compared with the exiled Situ Huo, the difference between him and him was like heaven and earth. But Ning Wan knew in her heart that by the time this man reached his old age... he was already somewhat powerless.

'The difference in magical powers cannot be erased. Sometimes, the victory or defeat can be decided by suppressing one magical power. It is because you are gifted and make up for it with your own practice... these differences will eventually be narrowed little by little as the magical powers of each of you increase, or even suppressed.'

In that final battle, Ning Tiaoxiao must have been fully prepared, but he did not expect Situ Huo to condense his third magical power. Even if Ning Tiaoxiao still suppressed him like a grandson, he had no chance to kill him...

The feeling of being slowly caught up with or even surpassed by many mediocre people who are less talented than oneself or even some younger generations who are enemies must be unpleasant. Ning Wan always feels sad when she thinks of it:
"I heard that your temperament became more and more paranoid in his later years. I believe you also know that this big worry in your heart cannot be removed... If the Ning family cannot take refuge with the Chi family, it is very likely that the family will be exterminated..."

Ning Tiaoxiao had no children. To be fair, Ning Wan already felt that her elder had done well enough. Now when she met Situ Huo, she still did not think that it was the legacy of her predecessor. Instead, she met the other's gaze coldly and responded with a stern look.

'A lost dog...'

Situ Huo looked at her for a moment, not surprised at all, and even somewhat understood. He slowly withdrew his gaze, his heart as calm as water:

'It's not surprising - Ning Tiaoxiao deserves to have such a junior!'

But even so, he still did not take this woman seriously. His eyes fell on the [Xuanwei Jade Scepter] in his hand again. Looking at the short knife-like signal, a raging fire of desire burned deep in Situ Huo's eyes, and he kept observing it carefully.

He was busy studying on his own, but the crisis was clearly resolved. Everyone on the Song side was injured, but there was not a sound. Everyone had a different look on their faces and exchanged glances with each other.

Only neighboring Lan Ying had her spiritual embryo taken away. She felt unwilling to accept this. She took a step forward, looked at Situ Huo, then looked at Ting Lan who lowered her head and remained silent. She could only shake her head and frown, watching the cultivators leave.

But Situ Huo returned the immortal order, and the old hand suddenly clenched the jade blade.

He practiced the "Inlaid Gold Stone", and this magical power of his Dharma body was also ranked among the best in Zifu. The "Xuanwei Jade Scepter" was not originally used for chopping, but it easily cut his palm, which was bright and dark, and blood as sticky as golden water flowed down inch by inch, dripping into the air and turning into rolling water and fire.

'good……'

The treasure flickered three times in the air, showing signs of trying to break free, but was suppressed by the immortal decree, which dropped on him and subdued him. The old man turned around and said calmly:
"I, Situ Huo, have the honor of being the General Pinghuai and the Governor of Tongjin. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."

The night sky was still silent, but the sparkling jade sword was sheathed, stirring up a thick white mist. The elegantly dressed white-robed Immortal, who stood holding the sword, sneered:
"You don't have to be a homeless dog anymore!"

It was Master Zhu Sheng who fought hard against Gongsun Monument and saved the overall situation! He was not afraid at all, and left with a cold smile, leaving only the cold words echoing in the air.

This made everyone silent again, but Situ Huo smiled quite proudly, as if he was trying to figure something out. He took a step forward, looked around, and said quietly:

"It seems that Brother Liu still remembers the old grudge and is not generous enough."

Tinglan was speechless and cursed inwardly:
"Grandeur? How can one be magnanimous? Situ Tong once wiped out a branch of the Chu Liu clan... The descendants of Chu and Liu who died in his hands piled up like a mountain... I guess there is a lot of blood in the [Blood Tower]!"

This did not prevent Situ Huo from looking around, and his eyes stopped at Ning Wan's face:

"He turned out to be a descendant of Element Daoist Fellow... Rare... Rare..."

Ning Wan's complexion had recovered a lot, but she was still cold and stern. She held the sword and said nothing.

Situ Huo laughed suddenly and said:

"Element Master gave me many teachings in his lifetime, but now he is gone, and all that remains is..."

He looked as if he didn't know the name and looked around. Only when Xian Luo took a step forward did he lift up his sleeves. Neighbor Gu Lanying had already spoken, whispering:

"This is Ning Wan, the Autumn Lake Fairy."

Situ Huo's eyes slightly fluctuated, and he smiled:
"It turned out to be Ning Wan!"

Tinglan on the side also had a bad look on her face. This Taoist master Tong Jinmen had really bad popularity. In the whole Jiangnan... especially among the cultivators represented by the Taiyang Taoist sect, there were probably few who were friendly with Tong Jinmen... How could she be friendly with him?

"The bloody chaos of Tongjin is the result of the transaction between Qingchi and Jinyu. The root cause is the poor relationship between Situ Tong's descendants. Many of them are sinister and vicious. Situ Huo is the best among them and is more cautious... Trouble..."

But at this moment, an old man appeared from the crowd, dressed in a glass robe, with a smile on his face, bowed and clasped his fists, and hurriedly changed the subject, saying with a smile:
"Congratulations fellow Taoist!"

This old Taoist priest was none other than Taoist Xian Yao from Guoling Peak. The two seemed to have some friendship. Situ Huo returned the greeting slowly and turned to look at everyone:
"Everyone, please guard Yu Fu. I will go to Tongdao Mountain to report."

Ning Wan looked up in realization. Ting Lan had a complicated expression on her face. They stepped forward together and separated the two of them, explaining in a low voice:
"Lord Yang has already... conquered Boring Mountain! I will go and report to you now."

She flew up on a purple cloud and disappeared into the void. She flew a few steps and turned her head. She couldn't ignore this matter after all, so she said softly:

"Now that the North is strong, Senior and Wan'er are working together for the Song Dynasty. Most of the hatred in the past originated from Situ Tong. Please let it go... It is not good to mess up the affairs of the monarch."

Situ Huo stopped laughing and said quietly:
"Thank you for the reminder, Immortal. Ning Tiaoxiao is capable and I admire him a little, but I don't hate him... that much."

The old man had a calm look and spoke very solemnly. He was old and admired Ning Tiaoxiao more than he resented him, but that did not stop him from taking revenge for the pursuit.

'He didn't necessarily blame me for harming me, but because I am the descendant of Situ Tong. It is still the same now. If I have a chance, besides Ning Wan, it is also because she is the descendant of Ning Tiaoxiao.'

He placed his hand on the Xuanwei Jade Scepter at his waist, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
'The key right now is the Purple... I have been standing still for too many years... The Light of Cultivation is my only chance!'

……

The colorful sky in the distance flickered slightly, the cold autumn wind was blowing, the steps were filled with setting sun, and the bright silver tripod in the hall was still standing. Although it was just the beginning of autumn, the clear water in it had already condensed and turned into a silver glow.

The hall seemed empty. A man in white sat at the top, holding a red brush. He heard footsteps coming from outside the hall and a woman coming up the steps.

This woman was tall, with a beautiful face and three white flowers on her forehead, which made her look otherworldly. She had a high nose bridge, wore a white dress, and carried a long sword. She showed her impetuous temperament while walking. She saluted in front of the steps and whispered:
"Uncle Master!"

Wei Xuanyin, who was standing above him, looked up with a slightly surprised expression. Before he could speak, the woman in front of him frowned and said hurriedly:
"Uncle Wei, the Great Yuan Guang Yin Mountain really cannot be taken back!"

Wei Xuanyin pondered for a moment, put away the Taoist book in his hand, and replied:
"At least I can't take it back right now."

The woman took two steps anxiously and said:

"Earlier, we thought that Shu was strong and Song was weak, and the King of Wei was in seclusion, so the Song Dynasty would not be able to cause any trouble in the short term, so we sent people to Longdi. Unexpectedly, we managed to hold that place, but lost more than half of Jiangbei!"

Wei Xuanyin sighed silently and asked:

"Can Bian Yanshan be saved?"

The woman was slightly stunned, and the slight surprise made her look more vivid, but she still answered:
"Fortunately, it was saved. The 'Exiled Qi' has dissipated. How could my uncle, who was in charge of the [Zhaoyao Four Seasons Cauldron], not know about it?"

Wei Xuanyin shook his head and stared at the bright silver cauldron quietly. The ice inside was indestructible and reflected a faint silver light. The owner of Zhixuanxie said:
"The Book of Recruiting Yao says: 'Spring is in the horns, when things grow; summer is in the lees, when the cold is relieved; autumn is in the twilight, when things are stored; winter is in the palace, when things are stored. Together, they form a year, divided into four seasons. Cultivate them to help with the right course, and take them to nourish the spirit.'"

"The [Zhaoyao Four Seasons Cauldron] is a top-level treasure that has been measured by the magic calculation. It is good, but it represents the golden lock in the autumn, which is used to store the gold in the treasury. Around the autumnal equinox, the power of this treasure has greatly decreased, and it is no longer as powerful as before, and it is no longer visible."

Wei Xuanyin knocked on the table helplessly and said:

"I told you to study hard, but in the end you didn't learn anything real. You should have seen that earlier!"

"How can you compare with Uncle Master!"

The woman answered with some shame, thought about it carefully, and suddenly asked in surprise:

"But they planned it?!"

Wei Xuanyin smiled and said:
"The Song Dynasty has the 'Exiled Qi', so there is no need for such calculations."

He comforted the woman, his eyes were deep, and he gently stroked the book:
"The Song Dynasty doesn't need it, but other sects can use it... Jiangbei seems to have the same interests... but there are many people who collude with the north and the south to seek personal gain. It would be best if they can avoid my eyes."

He remained silent, but the Jurchen in front of him spoke:

"I just came in from outside the hall and saw Li Jieyi waiting outside... It's strange. This time, Dayangshan hasn't rushed to punish him, but he rushed to find his uncle!"

"He is afraid."

Wei Xuanyin sighed, but did not mention the monk's matter. He frowned and said:

"Bai Yue, I asked you to go south to find Lan Yan, why did you turn back?"

When talking about this, Yin Baiyue looked aggrieved and gritted his teeth and said:

"What can I do? Senior Brother Qi has become a different person in the past few years since he left the mountain! I went to Xuanmiao Temple to look for him, but he insisted that I come back, saying that he would not be involved in anything and that he would be responsible for everything... But if anything happens, no one in Zhixuanxie can escape!"

Wei Xuanyin remained silent, lowered his eyebrows, and said:

"This kid is impatient - no matter how much we talk, he won't listen."

Wei Xuan was older and had watched these children grow up. Sometimes he was used to it and would call them children out of his mouth. However, Yin Baiyue felt something was wrong when she heard it. She raised her head sharply and said with a change of color:

"Uncle Master, this is..."

Wei Xuanyin calmed down a little and replied:

"Then you should stay in Longdi and don't have to go east."

Yin Baiyue cupped her hands, suppressed the doubts in her heart, and said in embarrassment:
"That Situ Huo... several companies in the north contacted him several times, but in the end he actually invested in the south... It was really unexpected."

Wei Xuanyin smiled and said:
"He is a smart man, otherwise he would have been killed long ago. He wants to seek a higher level of Taoism, but he is unwilling to give up his true self and indulge in Buddhist practice. How could he come to the north?"

"In his early years of fighting, I estimate that he lost a lot of his life. Now time is getting tighter and there are few things that can help him cross the purple level. It is natural for him to join Xiuwu's army."

Yin Baiyue asked doubtfully:
"I also heard what my senior brother said... He didn't seem surprised, but... but... Geng Dui is Jin Yishangqing's forbidden lover, why didn't he go to Shu, but came to Song?"

Wei Xuanyin nodded and said:

"That's why I say he's smart... He doesn't have any extravagant ambitions to ascend to the throne. All he wants is to reap the benefits of this turbulent world and reach the pinnacle of his cultivation. Although reincarnation is unlikely, it would be a natural thing for him to come and seek enlightenment with his skills at this time. Maybe he'll be less controlled by others."

His expression was very gentle, and he said:

"You should all learn this... Since your mind is muddy and you have no desire to seek the truth, you shouldn't still dream of taking the final step and climbing Yurun. Do you think Yurun is that difficult?"

"Some Yurun's position is more difficult to obtain than the fruit position!"

Yin Baiyue hesitated for a moment and replied:
"The disciples are taught..."

Wei Xuanyin knew that she didn't listen, so he could only sigh inwardly that he had not set a good example. He didn't blame her any more, but just waved his hand and said:

"Hurry up and go to Longdi and call Li Jieyi in."

Yin Baiyue had no choice but to bow and retreat. After a long while, a monk came up to the front of the hall. He was wearing a light brown Zen robe and had a bitter face. He walked all the way to the front of the hall and bowed deeply.

Wei Xuanyin did not raise his head. He picked up the red pen and tapped lightly on the scroll, saying calmly:

"I told you not to go south, but now you are back with the blame!"
