Yin Yang

Su Yi and Yixiu huddled in the dark shadows, silently watching Ni Yuansi and Wei Zongzhu begin to compliment each other.And the woman didn't say a word, and she didn't mean to expose them, as if they didn't exist, she just half-kneeled on the ground, stiff like a sculpture.

Seeing this, Su Yi put his heart down slightly, while Yixiu stared at the woman's back, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up mockingly.

Loyal?It must be something else hidden.

After a while, Sect Master Wei glanced at the woman who was half kneeling upright, and said in a low voice, "Hey, Shengzi Ni, can you let her..."

Ni Yuansi seemed to think of her just now, and said with a warm smile: "Okay, you go back first, you don't need to continue learning about sacrifices today, go back and have a rest."

The woman slightly possessed Ni Yuansi, then stood up and left quietly.

As soon as the woman left, Sect Master Wei couldn't hold back. Before Ni Yuansi could sit down, he said impatiently, "Shengzi Ni, what do you think we should do? The current situation is not good for Ziwei Sect!"

Ni Yuan thought for a while, sighed softly, sat on the tea table, poured the remaining tea in the cup and pot, and re-brewed the tea smoothly.

Sect Master Wei walked back and forth twice, and said angrily: "The Artifact Refining Sect... Tianxuanzong! Shengzi Ni, what time is it and you are still making tea leisurely!"

Ni Yuansi didn't even move his brows, the fragrance of tea slowly seeped out from the teapot, he looked at the undulating and shaking tea leaves in the jade teapot, and said softly: "Sect Master Wei, don't worry, first taste the unique tea of ​​Haoge Sect. Let’s go to Xueling tea. This tea grows in an extremely harsh environment, and you can’t harvest much tea in a year, and you need a tea set made of Kunlun jade to keep its taste..."

As he spoke, he gracefully poured clear tea into two jade teacups, and the extremely thick and strange tea fragrance slowly wafted into the air.After a meal, Sect Master Wei sat down across from Ni Yuansi, picked up the teacup and drank it down, put it back on the table with a "slap", and said in a deep voice, "Shengzi Ni, should you speak?"

Ni Yuansi smiled helplessly, and said: "The matter has reached this point, how can we turn it around? We can only think of a way elsewhere."

Sect Master Wei punched the tea table heavily, glared angrily, and cursed in a low voice: "Yi Xiangtian, that guy who killed a thousand swords... Even his bastard is angry at me! Any broken department can be with us!" Is it equal? ​​Yi Xiangtian can still bear him jumping around outside, now because of that broken department, how much less are our offerings and affairs? Those stupid rich people no longer go to the sect with money!"

Su Yi in the dark was taken aback, realizing that he was talking about Yixiu and their secret service.He looked up at Yixiu worriedly, worried that he would explode suddenly, but Yixiu looked sober and calm, with a mocking smile on his lips.

Sensing Su Yi's gaze, Yixiu looked down at him and rubbed his head lightly.

Hearing Wei Zongzhu's words, Ni Yuansi's eyes flashed a gleam, and then he said with a smile: "Wei Zongzhu calm down, after all, the secret service department is backed by the country, and what they do is good for the country and the people. Preferential treatment is also due."

Wei Zongzhu immediately dissatisfied and said angrily: "They just killed a few ghosts, and this is for the country and the people? Don't we kill ghosts? The ordinary people in the government want to control us. It's whimsical, let's see who has paid attention to me!"

Ni Yuansi poured tea into Wei Zongzhu's teacup, and said with a gentle smile: "Wei Zongzhu, this statement is wrong. At any time, we should not underestimate the power of the country. We are all mortal bodies. If the country is determined to eradicate us , I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist for long.”

As soon as Wei Zongzhu's face changed, he was about to shoot the case!

Ni Yuansi smiled slightly, beckoning him to be calm, and continued: "Besides, the situation is quite different now. The power of the government is too great for collecting resources and other conveniences. Now it provides a secret service department plus countless The branch is also more than enough, I can't wait to bear it."

Sect Master Wei suddenly said angrily: "Then we can only watch him flaunt his might?"

Ni Yuansi sighed, and smiled helplessly: "Even if you ignore Yixiu, you have to give the country a face. Although Yixiu is quite feared in the Taoist sect, and the members in it are also talked about, but the secret service department these years What he did has an excellent reputation and reputation in Taoism, coupled with the support of the state..."

Sect Master Wei's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The secret service department...Yixiu...the secret service department is just supported by Yixiu and others. If I, Ziwei Sect, snatch this reputation and benefits, can I compare it to Yixiu?" Xiu that kid can do better?"

Ni Yuansi smiled and remained silent.

Su Yi, who was hiding in the dark, didn't expect that they were going to discuss the topic of replacing the secret service department. He couldn't help but tightened his grip on Yixiu's clothes, and hugged Yixiu's waist in a panic.

Yixiu hugged Su Yi reassuringly, patted him on the head, and glanced at Ni Yuansi and Wei Zongzhu extremely coldly.

The more Sect Master Wei thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was very good, not only to retaliate against Yixiu, but also to overwhelm Tianxuanzong in one fell swoop!Doesn't he, Tianxuanzong, claim to be the first sect of Xuanmen?Wouldn't it be more legitimate for them to have state support by then?At that time, even Tianxuanzong will have to abdicate to make way for the virtuous!

He clapped his palms and laughed, got up excitedly and turned around, and then said to Ni Yuansi: "Your brother finally had a good brain, your Lao Shizi tea is tasteless, go! Go to my brother's for a drink! We will not drink tonight." If you don’t return drunk, let’s celebrate!”

Ni Yuansi lowered his head and smiled slowly, then cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then Ni would be more respectful than obedient."

After all, they quickly left the Holy Child Hall and walked towards Ziweizong's residence.

After the voices of the two had completely faded away, Yixiu waited for a while before letting go of Su Yi and walking out from behind the shadow of the pillars of the Holy Child Hall.

The Holy Child Hall was empty again. Yixiu glanced at the uncleared tea on the tea table, and sneered, "Oh, I never thought that I would hear such amazing news after exploring on a whim."

Su Yi didn't expect them to be so coincidental that they ran into the scene of Ni Yuansi colluding with Wei Zongzhu. He asked in a low voice, "If Ziwei Sect wants to replace the secret service department... what should we do?"

Yixiu stretched out his hand and rubbed Su Yi's head, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, the status of the secret service department these years is there, and it is not so easy to shake. Let's finish filming that book first, and then go back and talk about it."

After speaking, they walked back to the bookshelf, only to find that the ancient book with the totem was crowded on the densely packed bookcase, and they could no longer find it easily again.

Yixiu used his memory to find the place where the book was placed, and was about to repeat the old trick to sweep all the books down, when there was another movement outside the Temple of the Holy Child.

Yixiu frowned, and quickly pulled Su Yi to hide in a hiding place to have a look, and found that four people wearing Haogezong's clothes were carrying lamps and walking towards the Holy Child Hall.

Hearing the faint voices of conversation in the wind, they seemed to be people who came to clean the Holy Child Hall.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Yixiu scanned the situation around the Holy Child Hall, and quickly came to a judgment in his heart.He quickly carried Su Yi on his back, flashed towards the gate of the Holy Child Hall from the darkness, and quickly disappeared into the surrounding shadows.

The four people who walked all the way to the Holy Child's Hall didn't notice it. After entering the Holy Child's Hall, they quickly cleaned and tidied up, and they didn't notice that there were two people hiding here.

Yixiu and the others returned to the residence smoothly, avoiding other Taoist people wandering around, and quickly returned to the place where they lived.

The lights in their room were always on, pretending to be someone. Not long after they jumped into the room from the window, someone knocked on the door and said outside the door: "Captain Yi, excuse me, do you need towels for washing?" Utensils? Our sect has prepared brand new utensils for you."

Yixiu frowned, and said loudly, "No need, we brought it ourselves."

The man responded respectfully and went downstairs.

When the man went downstairs, Yu Hanyin and the others who heard Yixiu's voice walked out of the room one after another, and walked towards Yixiu's room.

Yi Xiu lowered his head and flipped through the photos on his phone, while Su Yi opened the door and let Yu Hanyin and the others in.

Seeing Yixiu looking down at the phone, Yu Hanyin couldn't help asking, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Without raising his head, Yixiu said in a cold voice, "Ni Hongyun really has something to do with the Haoge Sect. I found the totem of the South China Sea Secret Realm on the bookshelf of Ni Yuansi's Saint Child Hall. Ni Hongyun's related records are in that book. A few pictures were taken, but unfortunately they were not finished.”

Yu Hanyin immediately took out her mobile phone and said, "Send us the photos you took."

Yixiu quickly sent those photos to everyone. While waiting for the photos to be sent out, he remembered something, smiled mockingly, and said, "By the way, we also heard the corner, Wei San wants to get the spy department instead."

Hearing this, everyone instantly raised their heads to look at Yixiu.

Jiang Xiuxian said in astonishment: "Replace it...is that what I mean?"

Yu Hanyin was silent for a moment, then asked, "What did he say?"

Yixiu threw the mobile phone on the table, briefly repeated the conversation between them, then laughed and said, "Wei San thought he came up with it himself, so he was so happy. He didn't expect that this idea was completely conceived by Ni Yuan." The one who gets it out will never go home until he gets drunk with Ni Yuansi."

Yu Hanyin stroked his chin thoughtfully, and said in a low voice: "That's right, if he wants the power from you, he should probably attack us... Ni Yuansi must know that it is impossible to replace us like this , it is more likely that the Cypriots came in..."

Du Peixue said quietly: "If it's just a simple plug, the captain will not be able to compromise. Then there will be pressure to force the captain to let go."

You Mingcheng squinted his eyes, clenched the long sword at his waist, and his cold and sharp breath suddenly became heavier: "They have the mirror of heaven and earth, if Ni Yuansi ignores it and summons a large number of ghosts to the human world..."

Hearing this, Yixiu squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said: "Okay, when the time comes, the soldiers will come and cover the water and soil. There are only a few ways to think about it."

After speaking, he looked at the quiet Su Yi next to him, and said softly, "Did you also find something?"

Su Yi was stunned, and said in a low voice: "I found Feng Qingwei's manuscript on the method of controlling ghosts on Ni Yuansi's bookshelf, and after Yixiu found that book, the person dancing on the altar this morning appeared It's..."

Mao Qianxuan was startled, and said in shock: "The dancer on the altar...that woman with her face covered? Have you been discovered?"

Su Yi nodded and said, "Yes, but she didn't expose us. We saw her face, which was engraved with the totem belonging to the sacrificial child, and it was densely packed with scars. And her eyes, like Feng Qingwei's The eyes are a bit like..."

Yixiu pondered for a moment, then said: "That woman looks very strange, she should be prepared by Ni Yuansi to deal with this centenary ceremony. Now that I think about it, not only did she not expose us, but she also helped us pack up the bookshelves to hide our tracks... the specifics We don't know much about the situation, but she doesn't seem to be that loyal to Ni Yuansi."

Yu Hanyin frowned slightly, and said, "Maybe you can try to get in touch with this person, maybe you can get some information."

After finishing speaking, Yixiu picked up the phone and said, "The characters in this ancient book are very ancient and complicated, and I can't quite understand them. Please take a look at what is written on it."

Everyone looked down at the photo sent by the mobile phone, frowning at the complicated words on it.Yu Hanyin looked at it for a while, then said in a low voice: "The writing on this book seems to be a kind of writing used in the Taoist sect in ancient times. Too much research... However, the words on these photos seem to record the deeds of the son of Haogezong."

Su Yi suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice: "That totem is so similar to the totem of the sacrificial son... Could it be the totem of the holy son?"

This guess is very reasonable, and it can also explain why the books printed with this totem contain records about the son of Haogezong.But Mao Qianxuan hesitated and said, "But... looking at today's ceremony, the totem should have a very important meaning, but it seems that I have never seen this totem on Ni Yuansi. Is there such a totem in the Temple of the Holy Child?"

Yixiu couldn't help looking at Su Yi. He didn't see any totems, and Su Yi shook his head, saying that he didn't see any similar patterns.

"Ancient Haoge, No. 30, the son of the seventh generation, extremely talented, the first son who is completely compatible with the holy pool since the beginning of the world, named Ni Hongyun." You Mingcheng's cold voice wrapped in frost and snow suddenly sounded, and he lowered his eyes coldly. Looking at the phone, he said slowly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Yu Hanyin remembered that You Mingcheng also came from a long-established weapon refining family. Although he knew nothing about weapon refining, he must still have some understanding of these words.

Mao Qianxuan said in surprise: "Holy Son? Ni Hongyun turned out to be the former Holy Son of Haoge Sect..."

Jiang Xiuxian was also speechless: "The 37th generation of the holy son... how many generations are Ni Yuansi? It must be hundreds or even thousands?"

No one has said this clearly, and Haogezong has never publicized this to the outside world. Maybe only Haogezong can figure it out.

Du Peixue frowned, and said, "If it's Ni Hongyun, the 37th generation holy son, how did he survive until now? At present, the three powers of ghosts and gods have been determined to be the captain, Xiaoyi and Feng Qingwei. He can't be like Is it the same situation as Feng Qingwei?"

You Mingcheng said in a cold voice: "When he was the Holy Son, the ghosts and gods were still alive. It is recorded that at that time, he was placed with high hopes and was carefully cultivated as a leader who resisted the ghost realm."

Everyone looked pensive, Su Yi suddenly remembered something, and said softly: "Holy pool..."

Everyone was startled, and immediately reacted.According to Su Yi's memory of having dreamed of Feng Qingwei, didn't he heal in the holy pool before Feng Qingwei died?

If his soul or consciousness is hiding in the holy pool...

Jiang Xiuxian looked at You Mingcheng who was expressionless, and asked, "Brother You, what's next?"

You Mingcheng put down the phone and said coldly, "It's gone."

"No more?" Everyone was taken aback, Yixiu frowned, and said, "I'll find a chance to go there again and get that book out."

Yu Hanyin shook his head calmly: "No, this time is already very risky, and your whereabouts have been discovered. After all, the Holy Child Hall is the place where Ni Yuansi lives. This time it is because of Wei San who attracted his attention. , otherwise he might not have discovered you."

Du Peixue agreed with Yu Hanyin's words. She looked at Yixiu calmly and said, "Although Ni Yuansi looks weak, who knows if Ni Hongyun has any other means? Don't take it lightly."

Su Yi also nodded seriously, holding Yixiu's arm and looking at him.

Yixiu rubbed his hair a little irritably, sighed helplessly, and said, "If you don't go, don't go. Where is the holy pool? Can you touch it and have a look?"

Yu Hanyin laughed, and said: "The Holy Pool is the foundation of the Haoge Sect, how could it be easy for people to get close to it. Why don't you think about finding some other places, there is still a possibility."

Yixiu frowned and said, "Then continue to follow the original plan and go find Sect Master Feng."

After the discussion, they went back to their rooms and spent the night quietly.

After a peaceful night, the next morning, Yixiu opened his eyes early, carefully let go of Su Yi who was still sleeping, walked to the window and carefully opened a crack.He looked down at the entire building of the Haoge Sect from the gap, and at the same time silently observed the routes of the disciples of the Haoge Sect who had just woken up in the morning and shuttled along the road.

On the quiet wooden bed in the room, Su Yi rubbed his eyes, looked around suspiciously, and saw Yixiu who was looking out quietly by the window.

Noticing that Su Yi got up, Yixiu closed the window, walked over and said, "Go wash up?"

In the bathroom, Yixiu finished washing quickly, wiped his wet face casually with his hands, and whispered to Su Yi: "We have to eliminate two of the positions we have set before, and there is no one there. People come and go, it should be vacant. There are only three places left for us to go.”

Su Yi spit out the toothpaste froth in his mouth, and nodded to express his understanding.

After a while, everyone got up one after another, and the quiet waterfront building became lively.Not long after, a long bell sounded from a distance, striking three times in total.

Su Yi looked out of the window hung with tulle, and saw the majestic mountains, faintly revealing an outline in the morning light.There was some fog in the morning, and misty clouds and mists swayed across the calm and waveless lake, brushed past the looming ancient buildings, and gently gathered between the mountains, half-covered, like a leisurely ink painting.

He quietly looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, no one could have imagined that there are so many secrets and darkness hidden in this fairyland-like place.I don't know what kind of person Ni Hongyun, the holy son hiding behind Ni Yuansi, is.

Thinking of this, no matter how beautiful the scenery in front of Ren was, he didn't have the desire to write.

The bell stopped for a while, and the sun pierced through the clouds and shone on the big lake in the mountains and valleys, quickly dispelling the misty clouds.But this beautiful scene was also seen by many people, and the voices of admiration came from downstairs from time to time.

Soon, people from the Haoge Sect came to serve the prepared rich breakfast, and informed everyone of the ceremony process for the next day. After breakfast, everyone was invited to go to the main hall that had just arrived at the Haoge Sect. Someone is waiting to lead you there.

Yixiu and the others looked at each other and nodded in response.

Seeing the Haoge sect who served the breakfast retreat quietly, Yu Hanyin said in a low voice, "It's a little too tight, there must be something shady."

Yixiu didn't say anything, since he was stared at, he didn't have anything to say, he went out after breakfast, and followed the guide to the hall.

Walking all the way to the main hall along the wide water area, Yixiu looked at a large lake with slightly rippling waves and a large piece of withered lotus leaf stalks standing upright by the lake, and asked casually: "In the middle of this lake of yours? How deep is it?"

It happened to be the first day's Yushu who led the way. This question stopped him immediately. He subconsciously looked towards the lake, hesitated for a while, and said, "I...don't know."

But Yixiu seemed to be interested, and asked: "Such a big lake, there must be fish in it? Can you get a fishing rod to fish? Another boat, and that withered lotus leaf. Is there any lotus root under it?" Huh? It's a pity that the season for picking lotus roots has passed..."

Hearing this, Su Yi turned his head and glanced at those withered and bent lotus leaf stalks, and looked away without interest.

Yushu was taken aback, seeing that Yixiu was about to jump into the lake to fish for fish, he stammered and said, "No...it can't be done...the Master Shengzi said that all things have spirits, you must not Hurt the creatures in the lake. Moreover, the water in the lake is deep, and people are generally not allowed to enter the water."

Jiang Xiuxian couldn't help being curious, and asked with a smile: "Don't you collect lotus pods and roots for such a large area?"

Yu Shu shook his head and said, "They are all allowed to grow and perish freely."

With a thought in his heart, Yu Hanyin turned his head to look at the long dry lotus stalks surrounding the lake, and asked with a smile, "Is that so? When was this lotus planted?"

Yushu replied: "This piece of lotus has been as big as I can remember."

It seems that there should be groundwater flowing to other places under the lake of Haogezong.Yu Hanyin nodded thoughtfully and stopped talking.And Yixiu also seemed to have lost interest in the big lake, and followed Yushu to the main hall in big strides.
