That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 121

After Xu Beiyou returned to his room, he was always restless when reading, so he put down the volume of "Commentary to the Thirteen Classics" in his hand, got up and opened the window to look at the moon.

The bright moon is bright and perfect like a jade plate. This is a scene of reunion, but it is difficult for Xu Beiyou to feel joyful. Instead, there is a hint of sadness lingering in his heart.

Xu Beiyou now somewhat understands why Master likes to drink, and even learned the art of brewing wine specifically for this purpose.Sometimes drinking can't relieve worry, but it can help people let go of the burden in their hearts. Even if it's just a temporary let go, it can also give people a moment of relaxation. Otherwise, how could the ancients say that there is only this thing in the cup to relieve worries.

There was a trace of helpless bitterness at the corner of Xu Beiyou's mouth. The things he was carrying were not too much, or not too much. It was just a sword sect. But then again, how hard it is to carry Jianzong over the mountain of Daomen ?The world of practice is above the rivers and lakes, and there has never been a saying that a single person's force can overwhelm the entire world of practice. Even if Xu Beiyou became one of the world's few great swordsmen, so what?The Daoist sect doesn't only have one Daoist Master, who is known as thirty Daeshen Daoist, even if you are number one in the world, so what?

Throughout the past and present, there are no more than three opportunities for the collapse of sects at the level of the "Three Religions". Either two sects with almost the same difference let go of a deadly fight, just like the Confucianism and Xuanjiao back then, which finally led to the collapse of Confucianism. Torn apart.Either it is internal strife, just like the Taoist swordsmanship dispute in the past, the ancestor of the sword sect subdued 24 great masters with a single sword, and led his disciples to betray the Taoist school.Another thing is that the general trend of the world has changed, and the level of luck must be involved to make these sects rise or decline, such as the Taoist sect that took advantage of the trend in the last years of Dazheng.

But now that the world has been preliminarily settled, as the saying goes, the long-term unity must be divided, and the long-term division must be united. It is far from the time when the world is in chaos. Is Xu Beiyou going to wait for more than 100 or even 200 years?Let's not talk about whether Xu Beiyou can live for so long, or whether there will be this opportunity in a few hundred years, just say that time is ruthless, and whether Xu Beiyou still remembers his original intention today will have to be said at that time.

Now Xu Beiyou wants to challenge the Daoist sect by himself. It is difficult, difficult, even more difficult than ascending to the sky. That's why Han Xuan asked him to borrow the power of the imperial court. And most of the Confucian courts have the confidence to wrestle with Taoism.

After watching the moon for less than half an hour, Xu Beiyou still didn't feel sleepy at all. He just sat on the roof of the inn with a pot of wine and looked at the rich and powerful mansions in the inner city in the distance. The lights are really a scene of prosperity and singing every night.

Xu Beiyou looked at the jug in his hand, hesitated for a moment in silence, he didn't drink alcohol in the past, and he didn't want to drink alcohol, because he had nothing in his heart at that time, and he was relaxed and at ease.Now he wants to drink, and makes an exception to drink again and again, because at this time he has a lot of things in his heart, and he is very "heavy".

In the end Xu Beiyou still took a big sip of wine, raised his sleeve to wipe off the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, he just felt very happy, and said with a smile to himself: "Master, when you were alive, you always talked about how your master is, in my opinion , you are no worse than the ancestors. Of course, with you two ancestors in front, I, an unworthy descendant, should not be too disrespectful. Since I have taken over your mantle, I will go to your level. It can't be better than Lan, and it can't be inferior to Lan."

On the eaves one street away from here, there were several figures crouching in the shadows, one of them fanned a few times with a folding fan, frowned and said: "Senior sister, can you see the depth of this person?"

The figure known as Senior Sister was none other than Wu Yu. She shook her head, her face was a little dignified, and she didn't speak.

The figure holding the folding fan was a woman surnamed Ximen, and she asked again: "Senior sister, what do you mean by Master asking us to stay here?"

Wu Yu shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know either, but Master has been very abnormal these days. Every time I ask about this, she will be evasive, and this time she doesn't listen to my dissuasion and insists on seeing her The Wucheng Tianguan of the Town of Demon Palace, how can the Town of Demon Palace be easy to get along with? Not to mention us outsiders, even people in the Taoist sect are also afraid of him. Working with them is tantamount to seeking skins from tigers. To be swallowed bone by bone."

As soon as the words fell, Wu Yu suddenly grabbed the sword at his waist and widened his eyes.

A tall, pitch-black figure fell from the sky like a meteorite, hitting the roof with ripples visible to the naked eye but not hurting the tiles at all. This ability to lift weights with ease has already exceeded the scope of the first-rank realm, but this did not surprise Wu Yu What really shocked Wu Yu was that the man was holding a person in his hand, which was his master.

The owner of Yanyu Building is a middle-aged beautiful woman, but at this time her eyes are closed tightly, her face is pale, and she is grabbed by the neck recklessly.

After seeing this scene, several junior sisters behind Wu Yu shouted: "Let go of my master", and drew their swords one after another.

"Don't go!" Before Wu Yu finished speaking, he saw the tall figure knocking several of his junior sisters to the ground with a wave of his hand, and said with a mocking smile: "Just because you, a little Yanyulou, dare to fight with my Taoist sect enemy?"

Wu Yu took a deep breath, walked out of the shadows slowly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "It turns out that you are a heavenly official in Wucheng. You are a senior in the cultivation world. Why should you have the same knowledge as these juniors? In addition, I don't know what offended my teacher. Let senior go to war like this?"

The person who came was Wucheng Tianguan. He mentioned the beautiful woman in his hand, squinted his eyes and said with a sneer: "It's not an offense, but in the name of helping her, she tried to spy on the secrets of our Demon Suppressing Palace. She deserves to be punished."

Wu Yu clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, her face pale. She couldn't figure out why the master was clearly trying to form a good relationship with the Taoist sect, so why did he become a spy on the secrets of the Demon Town Hall in a blink of an eye? Is it true?Or is it a deliberate planting by the Town Demon Palace to take advantage of the opportunity to eat the Yanyu Tower?But if it's the latter, it's breaking the rules set by the Taoist sect itself, so aren't you afraid of being questioned and held accountable by the other major sects?It is true that Taoism is the dominant family in today's practice world, but there is still an imperial court, and the imperial court will sit idly by?
In this world, Taoism is the principle, so the imperial court is the rule.There is no reason to be unreasonable, and there is no rule to be unreasonable.

Wu Yu said with difficulty: "Is there any misunderstanding? How could my teacher..."

Wucheng Tianguan suppressed the smile on his face, and said calmly: "There is no misunderstanding, for your father's sake, I might as well tell you clearly that your master is not a Qizhou person, but an out-and-out descendant. Jian girl, 20 years ago was ordered to come to Qizhou to join the Misty Rain Building, this time she was ordered by her master behind the scenes to spy on our Demon Town Palace. The leader of the religion, Murong Xuanyin."

This time, Wu Yu was really struck by lightning. Of course, she had heard of Murong Xuanyin's name. Murong Xuanyin, the master of the Sword Sect, Gongsun Zhongmou, and Qingchen, the former master of the Taoist sect, were collectively called the Three Great Demons. Head, the status is even more honorable, the leader of Xuanjiao, that is the same status as the master of the Taoist sect, and even outside the Northwest Great Wall, the reputation is somewhat louder than the master of the master.

It's a pity that this is Qizhou, the Central Plains.

This is the world of Taoism, even though Murong Xuanyin's cultivation is as high as the sky, and he has the Xuanjiao, he can't do whatever he wants.

Wu Yu smiled sadly, "How does the senior plan to deal with the teacher? Can you let her die?"

Wucheng Tianguan said unhurriedly: "The three major demons, Qingchen disappeared, Gongsun Zhongmou was executed, Murong Xuanyin was seriously injured, and he retreated to the Qingming Palace to heal his wounds. If a servant girl comes forward, she will naturally be brought back to the Demon Town Hall for detailed interrogation, or she can be killed directly."

Just when Wucheng Tianguan was full of ambitions, a somewhat inappropriate voice sounded, with a bit of undisguised sarcasm: "Wucheng Tianguan, the chief deacon of the Demon Town Temple, is really loud, and he is so arrogant. It’s the three big devils, talk about Gongsun Zhongmou and shut up about Murong Xuanyin, do you think you are the master of the Demon Suppressing Palace, or the head teacher of Taoism? Do you dare to say these words in front of Murong Xuanyin?”
