Xianmen does not ask about the mundane

The last time Du Yuehua sent news that the emperor was critically ill, it was actually beyond Mei Fangli's expectations that he died at this time, so he was not too surprised, and the current search progress was completely under his control.

However, the distance between Fu'an and Xuanqing Mountain is long, and the news of the emperor's death may have reached him six or seven days later. There was not much time left for him, and Zhu Hongyan was promoted at this juncture. Yuefeng, and staying for several days without leaving, made his exploration progress stagnate again and again.

Mei Fangli was worried that if she continued to spend without confidence like this, she would really miss the good opportunity. When she got the news, she immediately found an excuse to talk to Zhang Leyu, but even he didn't know that Zhu Hongyan was awarded the title of Yuefeng. What to do, how long to come out.

Mei Fangli was inevitably a little anxious, but after calming down, after thinking about it carefully, this was actually good news.

Zhang Leyu is now in charge of all the affairs of the Xuanqing Mountain Sect, which is equivalent to half of the head. There is nothing about the Xuanqing Mountain Sect that he does not know. Even if Zhu Hongyan has any arrangements, he needs to be informed in advance. Fan didn't even know him, so he explained that Zhu Hongyan was for the title of Yuefeng in the matter of sealing.

However, only the current head of Yueyue Peak can enter the peak. If Zhu Hongyan went to the peak, there is no need to exclude other people, so the seal should be below the peak, so he doesn't have to worry about the peak. The problem of the top ban.

But... why did Zhu Hongyan accidentally touch the seal at this time?Is it purely a coincidence, or is there any connection between the seal and the death of the emperor?

Mei Fangli thought for a moment, only to realize that she had been ignoring a problem all along.

Although he was the actual driving force behind the massacre of the city and the country, the one who launched the war in the end was the Northern Yan monarch at that time.

Resentful souls pay attention to grievances and debts. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people who died in the war will definitely point their anger and resentment at Chunyu, who gave orders from the position of ruler.

A resentful soul with deep resentment can make life worse than death, let alone tens of thousands of resentful souls.

After the war, the Chunyu clan will surely suffer catastrophe, and even those who are related to it by blood may be implicated.But they not only survived to this day without incident, but also continued their own country for 50 years. No matter how you think about it, the help of Xianmen is indispensable behind this.

Zhu Hongyan entered the Yueyue Peak at this time, most likely in order to comfort those resentful souls with the death of the emperor.But how did their news come so quickly?Could it be that the Xuanqing Mountain School has always been connected with Chunyu's royal family?

Thinking of this, Mei Fangli was startled, and suddenly realized that she had never questioned how Chunyuyan entered the fairy gate.Moreover, there are so many famous sects in the Bai family of Xianmen, how could Chun Yuyan have joined the Xuanqingshan sect by such a coincidence, and also happened to become the disciple of Zhu Hongyan, the head of the sect?Isn't this the result of someone secretly arranging it?

If this is the case, then the old emperor must have passed the news to Chunyuye, who will succeed him in the future, before his death.On the surface, Chunyu Ye seemed to be honest and obedient, but in fact, he might have thought of resisting You Huan secretly, and he might not know what he was planning secretly.If Chunyuye chooses to bow to Chunyuyan in order to keep Chunyu's royal family stable for generations, wouldn't all his plans collapse?

After much deliberation, Mei Fangli decided to issue Fu He to ask Du Yuehua if he had noticed any signs that the Xuanqing Mountain faction was secretly in touch with the royal family over the years, and asked him to keep an eye on the movements of the emperor and the people around him. There must be no more extraneous branches.

He himself can no longer sit still, he must quickly prepare the spells used to interfere with the core of the restriction, and when Zhu Hongyan comes out, he will immediately enter Yuefeng himself to speed up the search progress.

After thinking about it, Mei Fangli bowed to Zhang Leyu and left.As soon as he left, someone trotted into Wenli Pavilion on his back, and walked down to the hall to pass a message to Zhang Leyu.

"Master, please go to the Guanju Hall to gather immediately."

-

The newly recruited disciples of the Xuanqing Mountain Sect this year have started from the cold winter, and now it is almost summer. The half-year training has gone back and forth between two waves of people. In the end, Master Chen handed over the full authority to Zhu Lingyu and Qiu Yan.With less than half a month left, this group of new disciples will finish their introductory training and usher in the formal assessment before apprenticeship.

The assessment is not only a test of the quality of new students, but also a two-way choice between students and masters.The master can choose his favorite disciples as apprentices according to their performance, and the top few disciples in the assessment can also take the initiative to choose the object of apprenticeship according to their own situation.

In previous years, only the new students who participated in the assessment and the masters who were assigned to teach students were the ones who were nervous on the eve of the assessment. This year, there were more Zhu Lingyu and Qiu Yan who brought new students for the first time.

After the announcement of the assessment method and the list of masters who have plans to accept apprentices this year two weeks before the assessment, the daily training is only the physical part in the morning, and the afternoon is for them to freely arrange whether to prepare for the assessment or to go to school. Get to know all the masters who have accepted apprentices this year, and the teaching masters can rest.

But the closer they got to the assessment, the more they felt like an ugly daughter-in-law ashamed to see her in-laws. I was afraid that the level of this class I brought out was much lower than in previous years, and that I would lose face and delay their future. On the contrary, he is more active than before. He stays in the training ground to watch them practice every day when he has nothing to do, so as to be ready to answer their doubts at any time.

Compared with earnest words, young people are always more likely to be moved by more direct things.

Ever since they saw the overwhelming strength of the two seniors among students of the same level in the group arena that day, and were completely impressed by their swordsmanship, the group of people headed by He Changfeng became extremely diligent as if suddenly enlightened, doing everything They all use the two senior brothers as the standard to demand themselves.

This time the assessment is also aimed at the top few of the free choice of masters. They don't care about each master's level and temperament, and they train as hard every day as before.

But sometimes the stronger a person's desire is, the more impetuous his heart is, and the harder it is to achieve.Especially in the way of swordsmanship, the emphasis is on step-by-step progress, which requires calmness of mind in addition to talent and hard work.Only by being able to endure loneliness can one become a strong person.

Zhu Lingyu noticed that they were obviously eager for success, and that excessive effort would become a burden when they were restless, so she waved them to stop and go back to rest for two days before continuing.But there are less than ten days left before the assessment, how can they stop at this time.

Zhu Lingyu knows that there will only be more and more cases of this kind of hard work in the future without seeing results. If you can't get your mind right now, you may go the wrong way in the future.Therefore, their attitude was extremely firm, and there was no room for compromise at all. It was likely that if they refused to obey the discipline next sentence, they would beat them all back to their dorms to rest.

Qiu Yan was about to speak to ease, when He Changfeng came up to him and said, "I heard that Senior Brother Qiu often went to the waterfall at the back of the mountain to meditate to exercise his concentration before entering Taoism, and he even entered a state of samadhi. Why don't we try it too."

Hearing this, Qiu Yan couldn't help but glanced at him with admiration, and followed up with a few words of persuasion. Zhu Lingyu's attitude eased down. He felt that this was a good way, but after thinking about it, he said with concern: "But It's not even May, isn't it too early to go into the cold water? What if I catch a cold?"

Seeing that something was going on, one person rushed to express his determination: "Senior Brother Qiu can do it then, then we can do it too."

Qiu Yan interjected: "Their physical training for the past six months is not for nothing, and their physical fitness will not be bad. After getting out of the water, wipe off your body in time and put on dry clothes, and drink some ginger soup, you should be fine."

Seeing that he said the same thing, Zhu Lingyu thought for a while and agreed.

Seeing this, Qiu Yan smiled faintly, and said: "Then brother, take them there first, and I'll get you some clothes to change later."

Zhu Lingyu nodded and said, "Okay."

Watching him leave, he took people to the back mountain.

After returning to the dormitory, Qiu Yan picked up the clothes according to the number of people, and went to the canteen to communicate with the master, asking them to cook a pot of ginger soup in the next hour, and then walked to the back mountain.When he walked near the martial arts field, he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him. Looking back, it was Zhou Sijin.

Qiu Yan asked suspiciously: "Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Sijin trotted over and said, "I'm lucky to have met you, do you know where senior brother Zhu is? I can't find him anywhere, and the master master is looking for something to do with him."

Chou Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "He took his new disciple to practice at the Houshan Waterfall. I don't know what Master can tell him?"

"I didn't say anything, I just told him to go to Guanjutang."

Zhou Sijin said that he was about to go to the back mountain, but Qiu Yan hurriedly stopped him.Seeing him, Zhou Sijin seemed anxious, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Chou Yan pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Oh, it's okay, senior brother probably got into the water right now and his clothes are wet, I'm afraid it's inconvenient. I'm going to deliver the clothes, and I'll tell him to go after changing his clothes, you go Go about your business."

"Oh, okay, I'll trouble you then."

Zhou Sijin nodded, patted his shoulder and left.

Seeing that he left, Qiu Yan's expression immediately turned cold. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the mountain behind him, imagining what Zhu Lingyuan would say and the expression that would appear when the teachers and disciples were meditating in the waterfall at the moment, except for the green hill in the middle. The attic can't see anything, but it seems to see everything.

Qiu Yan stood facing the other side of the mountain for a while, then suddenly laughed silently.

This smile contained too many things, like reluctance, relief, and relief.

Then he withdrew his gaze, turned around resolutely and walked in the opposite direction.

The bright candles in the Guanju Hall have been burning for several days. Zhu Hongyan sat quietly in it, his pale complexion under the beating candlelight showing the feeling of being exhausted.

Xi Guqing and Zhang Leyu sat on the ground on either side of Zhu Hongyan, both with solemn expressions.The three of them were silently watching the movement of the gate, waiting for Zhu Lingyu's arrival.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door in the dead hall.

Zhu Hongyan said: "Come in."

The wooden door opened in response, but it was not Zhu Lingyuan who came in, but Qiu Yan.

Zhu Hongyan was a little surprised, so he relaxed his expression and forced a smile, and asked, "It's Yan'er, what's the matter?"

Qiu Yan stepped forward and respectfully saluted the three of them one by one, and then said to Zhu Hongyan who was in the middle: "Please forgive me, master. I asked straight to the point. I don't know if the master called the brothers here this time. Are you going to pass it on to Senior Brother?"

Zhang Leyu and Xi Guqing were both shocked when they heard that, and looked at Zhu Hongyan in the middle. Zhu Hongyan was also slightly shocked, but quickly returned to normal and did not answer.

Knowing that he guessed right, Qiu Yan kowtowed deeply.

"Disciple, dare to ask Master to pass on the head of the sect to me."
