That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1279
This sleeve is an understatement.

Everyone in the inn felt that a gust of wind was blowing, soft but not strong, even the tables, chairs and benches were not blown down, but the short man disappeared without a trace under this gust of wind, as if he had never existed generally.

The tall man sat in his seat, even though he was no longer suppressed by Xu Beiyou's majestic aura, he still didn't dare to move an inch, for fear that he would also be considered by the Sect Master Xu as a plotter and disappear in smoke.

Long before he came to Biyou Island, he had heard of the illustrious reputation of the master of the Sword Sect. The Daoist Daoist who killed the Taoist sect had as many hands as he could, claiming that anyone below the [-]th floor could be killed with a single sword.He originally thought that since it was a rumor, there must be some exaggeration, but after seeing this great sword fairy make a move with his own eyes today, he no longer had such thoughts.

Fortunately, Xu Beiyou didn't intend to pursue it any further. He poured himself another bowl of wine, drank it all, and then slowly got up from his seat.

Murong Xuan and Qi Xianyun could no longer sit still and had to stand up accordingly.

Xu Beiyou looked at Murong Xuan, and there was something in his words, "If the Taoist sect is full of such heroes who dare to die, how can An Neng be in danger today?"

Murong Xuan was indifferent to the sarcasm in the words and kept silent.

Xu Beiyou shook his sleeves and walked out of the inn first, followed by Murong Xuan, mother and daughter.

The three of them had just arrived at the long street leading directly to the Lotus Peak, when they saw someone riding a black donkey slowly coming from the end of the street, about to go in the direction of the Lotus Peak, the donkey's hooves were trampling on the bluestone pavement On the ground, beeping, beeping, very crisp and loud.

An old Taoist priest was riding upside down on a donkey, wearing a tattered black Taoist robe, with gray hair and slovenly appearance, his body was constantly shaking with the donkey, looking like he was about to fall off the donkey at any moment.

A little Taoist boy walked in front leading the donkey. The Taoist boy was carved in powder and jade, so that people could tell at a glance that he and the old Taoist were not grandchildren.

Xu Beiyou, who was about to go to Lianhua Peak, stopped and stood where he was.

Murong Xuan was stunned for a moment, looking at the old Taoist who was riding a donkey upside down, with a complicated look on his face that had never changed.

Qi Xianyun didn't know this old Taoist, but she could probably guess the identity of this old Taoist from her mother's face and some vaguely heard legends.

One of the eight elders of the Taoist sect, Master Xichen.

After Zi Chen ascended, Qing Chen passed away, and Wu Chen passed away, Xi Chen, who was originally ranked fourth, was already the oldest person in the entire Taoist sect.

In terms of seniority, Qi Xianyun still called him "Master Uncle".

When the three saw the old Taoist, Xi Chen, who had his back to the three because he was riding the donkey backwards, also "saw" the three of them, especially Xu Beiyou who was the leader of the three, so he patted the donkey lightly and sat down, After the donkey stopped, he jumped off the donkey's back and saluted Xu Beiyou Jishou: "Sect Master Xu."

Xu Beiyou smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the real person would come in person."

After hearing the word "great real person", Qi Xianyun finally confirmed his guess, looked at the person in front of him, and said with a pale face, "Uncle Xichen, why are you here?"

Xichen looked at Qi Xianyun, the junior of the sect, and said with a faint smile: "Sect Master Xu opened the door on Biyou Island to welcome guests from all over the world. If the two of you can come, the old Taoist will naturally be able to come too."

He looked at Murong Xuan again, and said with a smile: "With Mrs. Murong's intelligence, I should understand what it means for the old Tao to appear here."

Murong Xuan, who had never lost her composure even when she was blocked by Xu Beiyou in Jinguang Temple, finally changed her face drastically at this moment.

Xichen chuckled, and said: "I have a long way to go at sunset, so I will do it the wrong way. This sentence can be used on the old Taoist. After all, the old Taoist has no hope of proving the Tao in this life, and the years are numbered. But it can also be used on On the body of Master Nephew Qiuye, he, the master teacher, is approaching the time of ascension, so it is not that he will not have many days in this world, so he is going against the grain and fearing the end of the day."

Murong Xuan returned to the expressionless state again, no longer speaking.

Now that he saw Xichen, Xu Beiyou stopped rushing to climb the mountain, and led the old Taoist to a secluded place, because the original intention of rebuilding Lianhua Town was to entertain guests, so stone tables and stone tables with chessboards can be seen everywhere in the town. At this time, the four of them came to a square stone table, and there were exactly four stone benches on all sides.

After everyone took their seats, Xu Beiyou took the initiative to say, "The Great Master came a little early."

The old Taoist smiled and said: "Actually, it's not too early. After the failure of the grassland incident, there is no need for Pindao to add fuel to the flames. The people in Xuandu are already excited, and the nephew in charge of Pindao is busy suppressing the situation. , can't take care of poor people at all."

After hearing this, Qi Xianyun's face became paler.

Xu Beiyou glanced at Xiaodaotong who was accompanying the black donkey not far away, and asked with a smile, "Is this the apprentice of Daoist Master Xichen?"

Xichen sighed, "He is the successor of the veteran. Although he is not top-notch in aptitude, he is better than a pure heart. He is a good seedling. Even though the time of the veteran is numbered, I don't know how long we can protect him."

Xu Beiyou said: "Actually, the big real people are worrying too much. It is the right thing for the elders to protect the younger ones, but we should let go at the right time. According to Xu, when a man reaches the crown at the age of 20, he is already an adult, and his future path will be determined by He will go by himself."

Xichen stroked his beard and nodded, and said with emotion: "The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don't be a horse and an ox for the children and grandchildren. Xu Zongzhu's words are justified."

Back then, Gongsun Zhongmou left Xu Beiyou the Twelve Swords of the Sword Sect and a Zhuxian. Although it seemed that Xu Beiyou had a great opportunity, the Twelve Swords of the Sword Sect were already scattered and incomplete. The two swords have been completely collected again, and with the Daoist enemy, Xu Beiyou can achieve today's achievements. In any case, it cannot be said that it is purely relying on the shadow of his ancestors.From this point of view, it is Jianzong who made Xu Beiyou, and Xu Beiyou made Jianzong.This is the well-deserved blessing of children and grandchildren.

If the first half of the sentence "children and grandchildren have their own blessings" refers to Xu Beiyou, then the second half of the sentence "don't be a horse and cow for your children and grandchildren" refers to Murong Xuan.

If it wasn't for Qiu Ye and Murong Xuan's husband and wife who insisted on being horses and cows for their children and grandchildren, the Taoist sect might not be where it is today.

Murong Xuan is worthy of being a Buddhist fairy who was born in Buddhism in her early years. She is very good at nourishing qi. At this moment, she seems to be an old monk who has entered meditation and turned a deaf ear.

At this moment, Xu Beiyou suddenly raised his head and glanced in the direction of the entrance of Lianhua Town.

Immediately afterwards, Murong Xuan and Xi Chen raised their heads at the same time, and followed Xu Beiyou's line of sight.

A moment later, an old man appeared on the long street and walked slowly from the archway that served as the gate of Lianhua Town.

Xichen said softly: "The Biyou Island event this time is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I didn't expect to alarm this old fellow."

The visitor's surname is Li, his first name is Xu, and his characters are Wenhe.
