That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 120 The Beauty of Qizhou Calls Wu Yu

Xu Beiyou was not interested in interacting with these Yanyulou disciples, so he turned around and went upstairs again.

The eight women put two tables together, sat around the table, and ordered some refreshments.Speaking of Qizhou women, they are a little more graceful than those in the Northland, and a little more generous than the women in the Jiangnan. The grace and beauty of a woman.

The leader of the eight women is the best among the women in Qizhou. There is no doubt that she is beautiful. Her black hair is tied up with rosewood hairpins, she is wearing a blue and white dress, and she has a long green sword hanging from her waist, which is even more heroic. Sassy.

The woman's name was Wu Yu. She glanced at the middle-aged couple sitting in the corner, looked away, and said softly, "I got the news from Master that there will be many masters coming to Qizhou in the next few days, all of whom are Jiang Qiang. There are dragons, and there are even masters in the realm of human and fairyland, so everyone should be careful recently, lest the gods fight with mortals and suffer."

Sitting next to Wu Yu was a girl with a baby face. She was also the youngest of the eight girls. She asked puzzledly: "Senior sister, what are these high-level people doing in Qizhou? Even if they want to come to Qizhou, shouldn't they go?" Langya Mansion?"

Wu Yu's cultivation is already the highest among the young generation of Yanyu Building, and he can be regarded as the appointed successor of the next sect head. His status is similar to that of the first disciples of the major sects, so he knows a lot of inside information, and said slowly: " Most of the people who came here this time are Taoist masters. I heard that they are hunting down a certain swordsman. Although it is not our business, what Master means is that if you can help the Taoist in this matter and form a good relationship, It will be very beneficial to our Yanyu Tower in the future, but I think something is wrong. It is true that Jianzong has almost disappeared these years, but after all, he was the top of the nine streams back then. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. , can’t move our small Misty Rain Tower? Junior sister Ximen, what do you think?”

A melon-faced woman dressed in men's clothing, second only to Wu Yu in appearance among the eight people, with peach blossom eyes and the corners of her mouth naturally curled up, exuding a manly air, and smiled slowly: "Let me see, Senior Sister Wu It's just right to change my temperament from our master's, but the master is getting older, but his temper is still so out of character, and Sister Wu is not yet 30 years old, but she is as calm as those masters."

The rest of the teachers and sisters all smiled knowingly, saying that they are the master, but in fact they are not much older than them, and they are as close as sisters to Senior Sister Wu. They just complement each other, and it is precisely because of this that the Yanyulou can be happy and harmonious without too much intrigue, and it is really like a big family.

For Yanyulou, whether or not it can form a good relationship with the Taoist sect is not a matter of life or death. Among the "Hundreds of Schools", don't you see that Kunshan, where Zhang Zhaonu sits, has not been promoted to Jiuliu. The background of a sect is not enough to produce an earth immortal. It takes several generations or even more than a dozen generations. precipitation and inheritance.

But if you have a grudge with Jianzong, it is really a matter of life and death. As Wu Yu said, Jianzong, as the leader of the nine streams, is second only to Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Xuanjiao. In the battle of kendo, the entire sect was torn apart. Even though the two suzerains, Shangguan Xianchen and Gongsun Zhongmou, died one after another, they are now unable to cope with the other eight sects that belong to the same rank. But after all, a dead camel is bigger than a horse , as well as the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall, and Zhang Xueyao, the elder of the sect who is also in the realm of the earth fairy, isn't it easy to deal with a small Misty Rain Building?

Wu Yu has been thinking about this for the past few days. She was born in a local official family in Qizhou, and she has been influenced by her ears and eyes since she was a child. Her actions made her a little uneasy. If it is said that in the past, Taoist movements were as immobile as a mountain, and many things were settled quietly under the table, which meant a leisurely stroll, then this time it was directly placed on the bright side. Even a little anxious.

What things or favors can make Daoist anxious?
For her, an official lady, the answer is self-evident.

She whispered: "It is said that wealth and wealth are not fake, but this muddy water is too deep for us to mix in. Do you think it is Daoist and Jianzong? The Daoist sect is beaten to the ground, what kind of big waves can they turn out, so that the Daoist sect can't wait to make a move? To put it bluntly, there is someone behind Jianzong, which makes the Daoist sect have to make a move."

"Who is behind Jianzong? Sister, you know a lot, tell us." A woman in a lavender skirt asked curiously.

Before Wu Yu could speak, the woman in men's clothing surnamed Ximen had already smiled and said, "Who else, of course, is the current imperial court. The Confucian School, Tianji Pavilion, and Dark Guard Mansion are all under the imperial court's rule, so why not have one more Sword Sect? "

Wu Yu glared at the open-mouthed junior sister, but the latter grinned.

Wu Yu straightened his face, adding a bit of dignity to his already bright and charming face, and said: "Now that I have said this, then I will make it clear that they will fight for the swordsmanship competition, anyway. Nearly a thousand years, not bad for the past few years, but our Yanyu Building must not be involved in it, otherwise there will be worries of overturning. I said ugly things first, and these junior sisters have put their minds aside these days, don't get involved in any right and wrong, Otherwise, don't blame me as a senior sister for turning my face and denying others, as for the master, let me talk about it."

Seeing Wu Yu like this, several women, including the woman whose surname is Ximen, also straightened their faces, and said in a deep voice.

Wu Yu's face was a little gloomy under the lights. Unlike the few pure-minded junior sisters, she had deeper thoughts.

In recent years, the imperial court's attitude towards the Daoist sect has deteriorated day by day. Ordinary people may not be aware of it, but it is very clear to them who are under the imperial court system. She clearly remembers that at the end of last year, her father received a letter from the imperial court. According to a secret residence report issued by the government, officials of the fourth rank and above in Qizhou are strictly prohibited from going to Taoist temples to worship during the New Year's Eve.His Majesty the Emperor had a deep thought, and since he ascended the throne, he has continuously taken power. The veterans left behind by the late emperor are getting worse day by day. Although she dare not presumptuously speculate on the emperor's mind above the nine heavens, some things have already begun to emerge.

Unlike these ignorant women who only listened to anecdotes, the middle-aged couple in the far corner looked a little dignified.

Rumors of discord between the Taoist school and the imperial court have long been circulated among the people, but most people don't take it seriously. After all, the Taoist school fought the world with the late emperor at the beginning, and the Daoist teacher is the late emperor's best friend, and the family is in the world. , The family is out of the world, and the well water does not violate the river water, so how can they turn their faces?

It doesn't make sense.

But some things don't exist if you don't believe in them.

You don't think it makes sense, you just don't understand it.

Is it going to change?
This thought flashed through her mind, and the middle-aged woman quickly lowered her head and took a sip of tea, making it hard to see the expression on her face.

Upstairs, Xu Beiyou leaned against the door, his whole body was like a dead thing, listening to all the words downstairs.

After a long time, he took out a small seal from his pocket and looked at it carefully.

The entire seal is only engraved with two words, Lingbao.

Xu Beiyou closed his eyes and held the engraved side of the seal in the palm of his hand. Before he left the Northwest, Han Xuan had told him in detail about the current emperor.

Xiao Xuan, the emperor of Daqi, the head of the Xiao family, was born in the third year of Jianwen in Dazheng. The Dazheng Dynasty died in the fifth year of Jianwen. Now it is the 21st year of Taiping in Daqi. There are also 20 years of Huanglong and 54 years of Taiping in between. Well, after careful calculation, he is already [-] years old. To say that he is young is just to compare him with old people like Akiba.

After he was born, his father Xiao Yu gave him his nickname, and his mother Lin Yinping gave him his baby name.

At that time, Xiao Yu had a good relationship with the Taoist sect, and it happened that Xiao Xuan was delivered by the Daoist Master Yuchen himself, so Xiao Yu thought that he had a predestined relationship with the Taoist sect.The god of the valley is immortal, it is called Xuan Min, and the gate of Xuan Min is called the root of heaven and earth, so Taoism is also called Xuan Gate, so Xiao Yu named him Xiao Xuan.

As for the nickname, it is taken from the words "The Prescription of Lingbao, the Way of Longevity" in Baopuzi, in which the earnest expectations of mothers are all contained.

Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lingbao.
