Embers of Sword

Chapter 306 Wild History
After the spring rain, the sky and the earth become clear.

The Da Chu Imperial City, which is usually crowded with people coming and going, seems a little deserted today.

the reason is simple.

This morning, the news that the Fanyin Temple's westward envoys had arrived at the Dapudu Temple had spread throughout the streets and alleys, and many people went to join in the fun. The news in the imperial city was faster than the flying sword of the sword immortal... In fact, the Fanyin Temple's westward envoy visit this time was just a "routine" visit by the envoys, but when the news reached the streets and alleys, it subtly changed.

very beginning.

There were rumors on the streets that the Dali Dynasty, which respected Buddhism, had been in internal turmoil recently. In order to stabilize the situation, the Zen master sent an envoy to bring back the Buddha's bones from the holy monk of the Dapudu Temple.

Immediately afterwards, the miraculous use of this Buddha bone was praised to the sky.

Some people say that after offering sacrifices to the Buddha's bones, they can bring the dead back to life, turn bones into flesh, and cure all diseases.

The Zen master brought back the Buddha's bones in order to extend the life of the King of Dali.

Some people also say that the Buddha bones contain a wisp of the soul of the holy monk.

The great era is approaching and the situation is turbulent. The Zen master wants to meet the holy monk of the Dapudu Temple to borrow his wisdom and answer his questions.

There are many different opinions, and they are becoming more and more outrageous.

Some people also said that the leader of the Fanyin Temple delegation responsible for the westward crossing was the reincarnation of the holy monk of the Da Pudu Temple, and that welcoming the Buddha's bones this time was to allow the "real owner" to return to his place completely.

As the news spread, more and more people were attracted to it.

The heavy rain at Tailing last night wiped out a lot of things.

The deaths of those evil cultivators from the Southern Xinjiang delegation were like just a few water drops bouncing in the rain.

After the rain, the sky clears and the water vapor evaporates.

The deaths of Huai Ting, Wu Yin and others did not attract anyone's attention.

……

……

"Little Mountain Master, you still remember to come back?"

The door of Chen's house was slowly pushed open.

What came into view was the face of a young man filled with anger and injustice.

Duan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly retracted his head.

Standing in front of the Chen residence at this moment was a beautiful girl whom Duan Zhao had never seen before, with rosy cheeks, almond eyes, and a graceful demeanor. She also had a small cloth bag with talismans slung around her waist.

Behind this girl was the little mountain master whom he had been waiting for the whole night.

"Sorry, something happened last night."

Xie Xuanyi walked into the Chen Mansion on his own, poured a cup of tea, sat in the courtyard, and raised his head slightly.

Above the courtyard, clouds were rolling and the sound of swords could be heard faintly.

"You have something to do, but at least you should take me with you, right?" Duan Zhao bowed to Deng Baiyi apologetically, then turned around and sat down opposite Xie Zhen with anger. "You left, but I'm still on the mountain. Fanyin Temple, Dao Sect, and Imperial City Division are all here."

"Oh, is it so?"

Xie Xuanyi took a sip of tea and said, "That must be exciting."

“It’s really wonderful…”

Duan Zhao responded subconsciously, and then said angrily: "If Uncle Huang Su hadn't intervened, I might have been pushed back to the Heavenly Prison by Yuan Jimo!"

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows.

He looked up at the sky, and amid the whistling wind, a flying sword slowly fell down.

Huang Su came to the courtyard and said casually, "The special envoy who rushed to Tailing last night was Yuan Jimo's confidant 'Tonggu'. The meeting was a failure. The envoys sent by the three major sects were all killed. Tonggu was afraid. He wanted to bring all the monks present back to the imperial city. In any case, it was an explanation to Yuan Jimo."

"This guy is crazy."

Xie Xuanyi sneered, "Can a special envoy like him lead the people from the Dao Sect and the Fanyin Temple?"

No wonder Junshan Zhenren hurried to say goodbye and leave in the second half of the night.

It turned out that the Taoist disciples were about to be detained by the Imperial City Administration.

"Yes... Behind the Taoist sect is Junshan, and behind the Fanyin Temple is Miaozhen..."

Duan Zhao said sadly: "The people from the Dao Sect and the Fanyin Temple left in a very dignified manner, and I was the only one left behind. Little Mountain Master, I originally thought that you would come back last night..."

Xie Xuanyi fell into a brief silence.

To be fair, the force behind this kid Duan Zhao is the most terrifying one.

Not only myself, but also Lotus Peak and Dasui Sword Palace.

There is also a Forget-Your-Sorrow Island that is detached from the world!
The Yangshen warrior from Wangyou Island and the meticulous Madam Wangyou, these two people are quite powerful stabilizers. So much so that after Xie Xuanyi left last night, he completely ignored Duan Zhao... Judging from the methods of those two, last night was just a dispute between the evil cultivators of Southern Xinjiang. Even if it got bigger, Duan Zhao would not be in real danger.

"Feel sorry."

Xie Xuanyi rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "I really forgot about you last night."

Someone pretended to be heartbroken and sighed with deep resentment.

"You don't have to feel guilty because Tonggu failed to take anyone away last night."

Huang Su said calmly: "This special envoy is still receiving treatment... If he is lucky, it will take about ten days to half a month for him to wake up."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi silently moved his head and looked at Duan Zhao meaningfully.

The little fellow stopped pretending and came clean, grinning, "Little Mountain Master, you didn't see the show last night. It was so exciting! The bald donkey from the Fanyin Temple almost knocked out Tonggu's souls and spirits with his stick. Tsk, they are both in the Cave Heaven Realm, but the special envoy had no power to resist... I wanted to continue watching the show at Tailing, but unfortunately Uncle Huang Su came. I heard that Yuan Jimo brought a lot of people with him and surrounded Tailing. I don't know how it ended."

Xie Xuanyi stood up and his head exploded with a bang. The speed was so fast that there was no way to avoid it.

Duan Zhao covered his forehead and grimaced.

In fact, I didn't use any effort at all.

Duan Zhao's diamond physique, which had been forged through countless trials and tribulations on Forget-Your-Sorrow Island, was only slightly painful at best, but the little guy was smart enough to know he was in the wrong, so he pretended to be pitiful.

"Don't act. I won't be fooled this time."

Xie Xuanyi was puzzled and scolded with a smile: "When you first joined Lotus Peak, you looked so honest... It's only been a short time, who did you learn this trick from?"

talking.

Look towards Huang Su.

"???"

Huang Su felt Xie Zhen's gaze, frowned, and responded coldly: "Why are you looking at me... Am I that kind of person? Isn't it obvious who is teaching him?"

Duan Zhao spends most of his time practicing with himself.

So... you learned this from yourself?

Xie Xuanyi knew he was in the wrong, so he had to let it go.

He sighed and returned to the topic: "What happened at Yuan Jimo Weiling last night was actually nothing exciting."

This morning, sermons have already started at the Dapudu Temple.

This shows that last night's battle against the mountain did not have any impact on Miaozhen.

"The identities of those evil cultivators from the Southern Xinjiang delegation are too sensitive."

Huang Su said calmly: "Kill them with the Miao Zhen Staff. If Yuan Jimo dares to forcibly detain them, the news will spread throughout the imperial city in less than half a day... Not only will the deaths of these people from the three major sects be in vain, but we don't know when the next peace talks will be delayed."

"Speak of it."

Xie Xuanyi asked curiously, "Did everything go well for you last night?"

He did not feel any signs of injured blood on Huang Su's body.

The Supreme Master is not a vegetarian.

Could it be that Huang Su really got the upper hand?
"Li Chen was very abnormal. He didn't really fight with me. We just fought for two rounds, and neither of us used any ruthless moves. This guy... seems to be sure that someone else will come to deal with you."

Huang Su recalled the details of the initial fight, and then asked with a strange look on his face: "Wait, the person he is waiting for, couldn't it be Junshan?" Last night, all news from Tailing was completely blocked.

But Duan Zhao was an eyewitness and saw the fight between Junshan, Miaozhen and Xie Xuanyi with his own eyes.

"It really is."

Xie Xuanyi chuckled: "Junshan is half of Li Chen's teacher. He talked to me about it last night."

He told Huang Su all the details of the negotiation with the Taoist sect.

"I see……"

Huang Su also smiled, his expression softened a lot: "Now is a time of trouble, the Dao Sect does not want any trouble to happen, and the Sword Palace does the same."

No wonder Li Chen just wanted to hold me back last night.

This guy thought that Junshan Zhenren would settle the grudge for his former beloved disciple.

Unfortunately.

Junshan Zhenren is not a war advocate.

"This must be Miss Deng Baiyi Deng."

Huang Su looked at the Taoist robe girl who was still standing in front of the Chen Mansion and said with a smile: "I have read the Qingzhou case files. I have also heard about your story. You are very good."

Before the chaos in Qingzhou, Deng Baiyi's identity was actually very ordinary. He was just an ordinary person in a small town in Beijun.

But after the Qingzhou chaos.

She is the disciple of Tang Fengshu, the Taoist master.

With this identity, even the Lord of Lotus Peak, Huang Su, has to treat him politely.

Huang Su likes this little girl very much. A young person who has just started practicing talismans for a short time can fight against Chao Jie on her own. What kind of courage and guts does this have?
"You are ridiculous."

Deng Baiyi was a little flattered.

"Stay at the Chen residence for the next few days. If you are interested in sword training, you can come to me anytime."

Huang Su glanced at Xie Zhen and said meaningfully, "By the way, how is Master Tang doing these days?"

This question.

Deng Baiyi obviously didn't know how to respond.

"...Okay, you didn't sleep last night, go and have a good rest."

Xie Xuanyi sighed and said, "Duan Zhao, take Miss Deng to the guest room."

The little guy scratched his head, confused, but still did as he was told.

After the two left.

The courtyard of the Chen Mansion became much quieter.

"You should have heard about the news about Tang Fengshu, right?" Huang Su didn't bother to hide anything and went straight to the point.

The reason why I asked the latter question.

It was because some "rumors" had been circulating in recent days, saying that things were not peaceful within the Taoist sect. After Tang Fengshu returned to the sect, he stepped into the "back mountain" where Chongkan Zhenren was, and there had been no news of him since then.

This scene is quite similar to the time when Yan Xie was imprisoned.

Yanxie was imprisoned for a full ten years.

Some news can be kept secret for a while but not forever.

"Well... the news is probably true."

Xie Xuanyi knew why Master Junshan wanted to keep Deng Baiyi here.

This time, Junshan came to Beijing not only to deal with the Fanyin Temple delegation, but also to resolve the troubles between Taishangzhai and himself.

Disputes suddenly arose within the Taoist sect.

Even a reincarnated immortal like Junshan has to use many means to stabilize the situation.

As a disciple of Tang Fengshu, Deng Baiyi had better not stay in the Taoist sect at this turbulent time... Her identity was actually very controversial. She had clearly never practiced in the Taoist sect, but was accepted as a disciple by Tianxiazhai as an exception.

Deng Baiyi is only at the foundation-building stage now. Even if he has a talent for formation patterns, his strength can only be said to be weak.

The spiritual world is very cruel.

The weak can only be bullied and manipulated.

If Tang Fengshu hadn't lost power, she wouldn't have had these concerns...

Unfortunately.

Judging from Junshan's arrangement, he hoped that Xie Zhen could take care of this disciple of Master Tang temporarily on his behalf.

"I just said that these guys from the Dao Sect are not as good as Da Sui."

Huang Su said with a tone of contempt: "These are just some insignificant rumors. Chongkan was willing to push Tang Fengshu into the back mountain...Isn't he worried that after Tang Fengshu is promoted to Yangshen, his position as acting headmaster will be replaced?"

There are not many people that Huang Su admires.

Xie Xuanyi is one of them.

Tang Fengshu is another one.

The cultivation talent and personal qualities of this Master Tang are one in a million. In Huang Su's eyes, he is destined to stand at the top of the mountain in the future.

But now he was taken to the back mountain by Chongkan...

It is difficult to see what the future holds.

Xie Xuanyi also shook his head, sadness in his eyes, and at the same time a thought flashed through his mind.

I wonder if Chen Jingxuan’s busyness these days is also related to Tang Fengshu’s imprisonment?
Chen Jingxuan is a taciturn person.

No one knows what he is thinking or what he wants to do in the future.

He never confides in outsiders.

Even Xie Xuanyi... is no exception.

Recalling the scene when he last met Ruyi Ling, Chen Jingxuan looked much more haggard and pale. When asked if he had encountered any trouble, he just smiled and glanced over it, unwilling to mention it.

Xie Xuanyi already had an idea in his mind.

The booklet of stories about wandering around the city came from Fangyuanfang.

Chen Jingxuan, who had grown strong and almost controlled half of Fangyuanfang, did not tear up these "story booklets".

That is enough to explain a lot of things.

"You met with Master Junshan last night. It shouldn't be just for her, right?"

Huang Su put his hands behind his back and reminded casually, "Although there is no taboo on forming a Taoist couple in Lotus Peak, I heard that the Taoist has strict requirements, especially Tianxia Zhai... The story of the young national teacher and Master Tang Zhai was only written into the book, but it was regarded as a disgrace by the great Taoist Chongkan..."

Xie Xuanyi: “?”

"Don't worry, as your uncle, I won't object to this marriage."

Huang Su touched his chin, put on an elder's posture, looked at the black-clothed boy in front of him, thought seriously and said: "But isn't it too early to talk about this now? I heard that people who get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen will not have a very high level of swordsmanship. I also heard that the master warned Senior Brother Xuanyi not to marry Senior Sister Miaoyin too early, otherwise his sword skills would become slower."

Xie Xuanyi: “???”

Where did this little girl hear this unofficial history? !

This is too outrageous!

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Master uncle is right, my matter is not urgent, I will take my time. But Master uncle, you seem to be quite old, right? When are you going to get married? I heard that Master uncle has been practicing on Lotus Peak for many years... I also heard that the head of Chunyang Sect would urge you every once in a while, I don't know if he has urged you this year?"

What he said is not unofficial history, but fact.

Huang Su cursed and rode away on his sword.
