That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1281

A group of three people, following the trail of Shugui Yijian, left Lianhua Town and walked slowly towards Lianhua Peak.

Xu Beiyou walked ahead alone, with his hands behind his back, strolling in the courtyard.

Murong Xuan and Qi Xianyun walked behind side by side, especially Murong Xuan, whose expression was gloomy.

When he came to the mountain gate of Lianhua Peak, Xu Beiyou looked up at the four characters "Shangqing Lotus" written by Shangqing Daodaojun. Although he didn't show the expression of looking up to the mountain like ordinary kendo monks, he was full of admiration: "Patriarch Leaving words, every stroke is a sword, it is really amazing."

Murong Xuan didn't speak.

Qi Xianyun hesitated for a moment and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Xu Beiyou hummed, and said without any concealment: "I'm looking for a Taoist temple, which has been abandoned for a long time. It is located in Yunshen under the Lotus Peak. As for what is inside, I am not very clear, but I am looking for When I received the gift from the Heavenly Dao, I had a glimpse of it with the help of the Heavenly Dao."

Qi Xianyun remained silent.

When Qiu Ye was in retreat, there was an undercurrent in the Taoist sect. For various reasons, she was sent to Biyou Island to stay here as a Dazheng.During that time, she traveled all over Biyou Island, and she thought she was quite familiar with it. She saw a lot of ruins and broken walls, but she never saw any Taoist temple.

Murong Xuan felt a little belatedly, and suddenly said: "Could you be talking about the concept of prisoner cattle?"

Xu Beiyou was a little surprised and said, "Mrs. Murong has a lot of knowledge and memorization, really good insight."

Murong Xuan said: "I have only seen one or two records in the Taoist classics, but for some reason, Master Tianchen has erased all the relevant detailed records in the classics, leaving only a few words, which makes it impossible to infer."

While speaking, the three of them came to the archway. Xu Beiyou held Zhu Xian's sword hilt at his waist and stood under the archway. His snow-white clothes moved with the mountain wind, as if he was a fairy.

Murong Xuan and Qi Xianyun stood a little far away from him, looking at the climbing road behind the archway.

However, Xu Beiyou didn't intend to climb the mountain at all, and asked, "Mrs. Murong, what do you mean by the word prison cow?"

Murong Xuan thought for a while and replied: "There is a saying in "Governance of the World" that prisoner cattle, dragon breeds, and good music, often squat on the qin. It is said that someone in Jianzong once followed the legend that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, cast There are nine swords, and the leader is the prisoner ox."

Xu Beiyou said: "For this reason, I have read some ancient books handed down from generation to generation of Jianzong, and found a very interesting thing. In Jianzong, perhaps because of the secrecy, the meaning of prisoner cattle is not literal. Instead, In other words, the key to prison cow is not that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, but the word prison, which means jail, as for why it is called prison cow, it is just a deception."

Murong Xuan was surprised: "You mean to say that Prisoner Cattle Temple is actually a prison?"

Xu Beiyou didn't confirm it, but he didn't deny it either. He just stood there and looked at the Lianhua Peak surrounded by clouds and fog.

Not long after, a figure came down from Lianhua Peak. After seeing Murong Xuan, he was taken aback for a moment, and then felt a little guilty. However, under the might of Xu Beiyou, the Great Sword Immortal, he still had to bite the bullet and come in front of the three of them. , saluted Xu Beiyou respectfully and said, "I've seen Sovereign Xu."

Between the words, no matter how you listen, there is a flattery.

Seeing this scene, Qi Xianyun's small face turned white again, but she was not frightened, but angry, she pointed at this person, and said in a trembling voice: "Du Haichan, how can you... able……"

The person who came was Du Haichan, the former master of the Jiangnan Taoist school, who once held the Zirong Temple of Jiangdu Taoist Workshop, and inherited the title of Du's family. After the accumulation of previous generations, there are as many as fourteen characters prefix Even if it is placed in the Taoist sect, it can be regarded as an extremely prominent prince.

If it is said that Xi Chen turned his back on Qiu Ye, it was because he was not on the same side as Qiu Ye. As Li Xu said, Qiu Ye neglected Xi Chen, a meritorious old man, when the scenery was boundless.

But Du Haichan is different. In the heyday of Daoism, Qiuye never treated this meritorious person badly. Du Mingshi's Jiangnan Daomen and Jiangdu Daoshufang are extremely honorable, but at this time he has abandoned Qiuye and Daomen, and joined the enemy Jianzong Xu Beiyou's command, begging for mercy, how can Qi Xianyun not be angry.

But just as the old saying goes, location determines consideration.

Du Haichan stood in his position, feeling ashamed, but he had no intention of regretting it.

After the change of Jiangdu, the Zirong temple was destroyed, and the Taoist workshop changed owners. He fled Jiangdu in a hurry and hibernated in Huzhou. , with a title of more than ten characters, every word deceives the sky."

At that time, because Qiuye and Chenye retreated one after another, the three major disciples competed for the position of the first disciple, causing the three major factions to fight endlessly. After all, Murong Xuan is not a legitimate Taoist head teacher, and she is unable to control the situation at this time, so she can only temporarily watch from the sidelines Therefore, the Daoist sect almost didn't care about the fall of the Daoshu workshop, which allowed Jianzong to easily occupy Jiangdu.

When the internal strife in the Daoist sect finally came to an end, Xu Beiyou had already integrated the Sword Sect and reset the three elders. At this time, the Sword Sect was in great difficulty, and even the Daoist sect would find it difficult to retake the Daoshu Workshop in Jiangdu.

In this way, Du Haichan became a veritable bereaved dog. Relying on his own strength, it is undoubtedly a dream to regain the ancestral foundation. He can only put all his expectations on Xuandu.For this reason, Du Haichan let go of his previous arrogance of enforcing borderlands. He is as docile as a domestic cat. He has no choice but to follow Qiuye's decree, but even so, he could not "recover" Jiangdu Daoshu Workshop Instead, he waited for a decree from Qiu Ye, asking him to leave Jiangnan for the Kingdom of Wei together with King Chu Jiang of the Demon Suppressing Palace who came to preach the decree, and his remnants of the Jiangnan Taoist sect, to follow Murong Xuan's order.

Du Haichan is not such an ignorant "three-year-old child" as Qi Xianyun. He immediately smelled a bit of "abandoned son". Instead of doing two things, he secretly contacted Jianzong Zhang Xueyao, took King Chujiang down, and then voted for Jianzong, and came to Biyou Island with Jianzong.

After Xu Beiyou learned about this, although he looked down on Du Haichan's character in his heart, otherwise he would not have ridiculed him in the early years, but Xu Beiyou also knew that this time is not the time for personal pride, as the so-called money buys The horse bone, Du Haichan is that horse bone.Xu Beiyou's move was to let people in the Taoist sect see that Jian Zong could tolerate people like Du Haichan, so naturally others could tolerate them too.

That's why Du Haichan appeared here, and Xu Beiyou also learned an unknown secret from him.
