I advise madmen to be good people

The season has entered autumn, the golden wind is blowing cool, the sky is high and the clouds are light, especially good weather for traveling.

It's a pity that Ming Yixin has to start a retreat, and he won't be able to see him again until half a month later.

After going through the madness three years ago, he now has to practice his inner strength more carefully and protect his energy with Bacon. Although the previous bottleneck period has been temporarily resolved, if he does not break through as soon as possible, he will enter the next bottleneck period sooner or later.

This is a big deal, so naturally I won't disturb him, if I want to go out for fun, I can only go alone.

Today's street market seems to be holding some kind of activity similar to the modern "food festival". Many vendors from other places have set up food stalls here. Coming over, the whole street was bustling and bustling.

I am a frequent visitor here. At the beginning, people knew that I came out of Huailing Palace, and they were a little scared and curious, and they dared not approach me. But later, they saw that I had no pretensions, and I was generous. In their words, I am tall and tall. Handsome and pretty like the person in the painting, he must be beautiful and kind-hearted, so he completely let go of his guard against me. When he saw me, he was as enthusiastic as seeing a relative, and he would give everything without saying a word. I stuffed food.

So, I just walked less than a few hundred meters on this street, and my arms are already stuffed with a dozen pastries wrapped in paper, big and small.

There are too many, and I can't finish it, so I just follow the old rules and go around to the east of the market. There is a kind heart hall, which I asked Ming Yixin to send people to build here, and it takes in many homeless people here The orphans of Guigui, when I am free, I will stop by to see them and bring them some delicious food.

When I came here today, I happened to see children surrounded by a candy seller at the door, begging for candy.

The peddler of the sugar seller was wearing a bamboo hat. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, he obviously had a good-natured temper. He was pestered by a group of children, which delayed the business, but he didn't get angry or curse. Instead, he took haystacks The candy man on the table is given to the children for free.

Although this person is kind, but the children have tasted the sweetness, and when they see small vendors in the future, they will surround them and beg for free food. Isn't it to make others feel uneasy, and if they encounter someone with a bad temper, they may even be beaten suffer.

I hurried forward, asked the children to salute and thank the peddler earnestly, told them not to do this next time, and gave them the cakes in my hands to eat by themselves.

"Thank you, this is your money."

The peddler didn't take the broken silver that I handed over, but supported the bamboo hat, slightly raised his head, and his voice was pretending to be deep.

"Young master, the sugar figurines I sell are very expensive, and the money is not enough."

not enough?

In terms of market prices, the money in my hand can buy hundreds of sugar figurines, so why not enough?

I was surprised, but felt that the deliberately lowered voice seemed familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before.

Just about to take a closer look at that person's appearance, unexpectedly she couldn't hold it back anymore, burst out laughing, took off the bamboo hat on her head, and revealed a delicate and lovely face.

"Brother, it's me."

"Guan Yin?"

I looked at her with surprise and joy.

"How did you come?"

Guan Yin glanced left and right, then lowered his voice and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, brother, come with me first."

In fact, I really want to say that it is very convenient to talk here, and there is no need to make it as mysterious as the joints of underground workers, but seeing her cautiously walking on thin ice, it is not easy to pour cold water on her, so I followed her without saying anything A small teahouse in the middle of nowhere.

This small teahouse is as deserted as its location, and there are only a few customers sitting in twos and threes on the first floor. I glanced at it casually, and I saw that these people were all skilled practitioners named Drinking. Tea, in fact, is observing the environment in all directions, with swords and weapons at hand, as if he is always preparing to rise up to meet the enemy.

"Is this the person who came with you?" I asked Guan Yin casually while going up the steps on the second floor.

"correct."

She nodded.

"Go deep into the devil's lair, how can we not bring some people, brother, don't worry, this teahouse is full of our people inside and outside, all arrangements have been made, and the witches who keep the Huai Ling Palace can't hear anything."

I sighed slightly.

Even though Huai Ling Palace has long since stopped doing those bad things that were outrageous and unreasonable, and its reputation among ordinary people in the market has improved, but it was too stigmatized before, coupled with the rapid development of its forces, which made people red-eyed. I am afraid that the door demon girl's hat will not be able to be taken off in the Jianghu for a while.

Wait, did she just say "we"?

That is to say, besides her, there is another person also coming?

"Here it is, here we are."

Guan Yin pushed open a door of the private room on the second floor, and a handsome young man with clear features looked up and saw me, and immediately stood up and strode forward.

"Master!"

Sure enough, I guessed right, Yao Yunqing also came.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, but the child has grown taller, and the lines of his facial features have lost some childishness, and become clearer and sharper.

I looked at him like an old farmer who was very relieved when he saw the good crops growing gratifyingly in the field.

Of course, comfort is comfort, and we still have to ask clearly first.

"Yun Qing, why are you here again? Didn't you just tell you to wait for me to go back at Yuan Hezong?"

"But Master, you didn't go back, not even a message."

Yao Yunqing looked at me with deep grievance in his eyes without blinking, which made me feel a little bit wrong for no reason.

At the beginning, because Ming Yixin wanted to fish and couldn't reveal his identity, it was hard for me to tell Yao Yunqing the truth. There were too many mistakes in what I said, so I just didn't say anything.

"Uh..." Before I could think of how to reply, I heard Yao Yun continue speaking softly with sobs.

"When I think of Master staying in this devil's lair and suffering humiliation, I feel very worried. I haven't had a good night's sleep. All I dream about is how to save Master from the sea of ​​suffering. Now I have finally found the opportunity. Of course, I have to rush here day and night. Master, you go back."

"Chance?"

I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

"what chance?"

Guan Yin interjected excitedly from the side: "Brother, you don't know yet, do you? Zhen Yuan, the lord of the Huailing Palace, was captured by Yuan Hezong!"

What?

This time I was really shocked.

Co-author Zhen Yuan didn't come out to show her face, was it because she was already arrested, or was she arrested by Yuan Hezong?

"Yes, Master."

Yao Yunqing also said: "Zhen Yuan was arrested, Huailing Palace has no leader, it is naturally a mess, and there is only one young palace master, although he is more powerful, but in the end it is too difficult to do it alone, and it will not be a big climate. The Zhengdao disciples will hold a hero meeting in a few days to discuss the joint crusade against Huai Ling Palace, Master, you are the acting lord of the Yuanhe Sect, so you will naturally attend."

Crusade against Huai Ling Palace?

"Absolutely not!"

I frowned.

"The evils of Huailing Palace in the past were all done by Zhen Yuan. Since she has already been captured, why bother to punish her? You have also seen that the civilians living here live and work in peace and contentment. No one suffers. If Once there is a fight, won't it implicate them and also suffer and die?"

"This..." Yao Yun showed embarrassment lightly, and his tone was somewhat helpless.

"Master, it's not that I don't want to turn around, it's that I'm a soft-spoken person, and I can't be the master. The leaders of all sects and sects are all older and more experienced than me. I am a junior, and I have no position or authority. There is no place to talk, master, if you think this hero meeting can't be held, then hurry back with me, now only you can stop them."

I pursed my lips, thought for a while and said: "The only one who can really stop them should be Ming Yixin, but he is currently retreating and will leave in half a month, why don't we wait for him and we go back together? "

"I'm afraid it's too late."

Yao Yun shook his head lightly.

"When I came out, the Heroes' Association had already set a date. It was the first day of next month, and there were only seven or eight days left, and our journey back would take five or six days. Guan, I'm afraid people from all their sects have already arrived here."

"Yun Qing is right."

Guan Yin nodded repeatedly at the side.

"Brother, if you don't agree to crusade against Huai Ling Palace, go back and delay those people first, and wait for Ming Sect Master to leave the customs and come back here, won't everything be resolved?"

So far, it seems that this is the only way.

I thought about it for a while, and finally agreed.

"Then I'll go back to Huailing Palace first and leave a letter for Ming Yixin."

"Master."

Yao Yun took my arm lightly, and dissuaded me with worried eyes: "When we come out, we don't know if we are following or not. It is inevitable that there will be no careful work on the Huailing Palace. If you run back now, I am afraid that you will fall behind." It’s better to just write a letter here, and I’ll send someone suitable to send it quietly.”

"Yeah yeah."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Yin nodded quickly.

"Brother, you were kidnapped by the Huai Ling Palace, but Yun Qing blocked all the news tightly, and didn't reveal any news. Others only thought that you were still recuperating in Yuan Hezong. This time we came out, and we also hid it from outsiders. After all, you have been trapped in the devil's lair for so long, if it gets out, there may be some disgusting rumors in the world, and it will have a great impact on the reputation of you and Ming Sect Master."

This makes a lot of sense.

The so-called "good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles", if the fact that I stayed in Huai Ling Palace for more than half a year is widely known in the world, then from now on I will no longer be a respected and good person Song Zishan, but may become a The teasing jokes in the streets and alleys, and the charming protagonists in those low-level novels and picture books.

In ancient times, the destructive power of rumors to a person was often greater than in modern times. It was like taking a gravel against the entire ocean, and there was no chance of winning.

I'm not afraid of rumors, but what I'm afraid of is that Ming Yixin will be hurt because of it, and I'm also afraid that this blessed land that bears the desire of so many people to live a good life will be destroyed in an instant.

In the past, I was indulging in the happiness in front of me, and I always avoided the crisis that I might face, but now it seems that it has reached the point where I have to solve it.

"Okay, I'll go back with you."
