That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1326: Late Summer and Autumn Solstice
In the first year of Jingyu, the end of summer and autumn solstice.

After a long journey, a large number of monks left Yumen Pass in the west, crossed the Gobi desert, crossed the Western Regions, and came to the foot of Kunlun.

The majestic Kunlun, the ancestor of thousands of mountains, the land of dragon veins.

From West Kunlun to Tiannan, it has been the territory of Taoism for generations.

Just like the former Jianzong, all the 36-mile sea area around Island [-] belongs to Jianzong, and outsiders are not allowed to set foot on it.It's just that after the overthrow of Jianzong, no one abides by this rule.

Today's Taoist sect is also like this. The area of ​​Taoist sect that outsiders dared not easily set foot on was not only set footed, but more than one person, thousands of people swarmed past, knocked down the stone tablet erected by the Taoist sect, and that piece fell to the ground, becoming Falling apart, just like today's Taoist gates, the building will collapse.

Above Xuandu, the real head teacher was not there, and there was a dead silence in Zixiao Palace.The Taoist disciples all know that the head teacher has gone down the mountain, life and death are unpredictable, and misfortune and fortune are unpredictable, so this place that used to symbolize the glory and majesty of the Taoist sect seems to have suddenly become a forbidden place that everyone can't avoid.

In the night, the Zixiao Palace lost its usual bright candlelight, and it was pitch black. Two figures walked in it, one of them was holding a candle lightly shaking and jumping. Instead of illuminating too many places around, it made the surrounding shadows blurry. , appearing increasingly dimmer.

The older woman was expressionless, walking in front with a candlestick in her hand, but her eyes were slightly blank, as if she was remembering the long years in the past, and she seemed to be remembering someone who once joined hands together.

Behind her is a young woman with a sad face, her head is half down, although she has tried her best to suppress it, she can still faintly hear the sound of sobbing, one after another, tears slipped from her cheeks and fell on the skirt up, onto the ground beneath your feet.

Until this moment, this exiled immortal who has been looked up to by countless peers is really like a woman of her age, helpless and lonely.

When Murong Xuan opened the barriers one after another with ease and came to the inner room, she stopped suddenly without looking back, "Don't cry."

Her tone was untimely calm, she couldn't hear sadness, nor could she hear too much panic, it just revealed a bit of heaviness from the calmness.

Qi Xianyun stopped his sobbing, and raised his head with tears in his eyes, looking at his mother's back.

Now all she has left is her mother.

Although Xuandu has not received the news, or several principals have known about it but kept it secret, she can see clearly that Xu Beiyou pierced his father with a sword, completely killing his life In other words, it is unlucky for the father who sent the mother and son back to Xuandu to stay alone on the Lotus Peak.

And that murderer is still in this world, even the gate of heaven was cut off by him with a single sword, who can do anything to him?
Every time he thought of this, Qi Xianyun felt a kind of despair that was almost suffocating.

Qi Xianyun looked at Murong Xuan's back and asked, "Mother, what should we do next?"

Murong Xuan still didn't look back, "Live."

Three words that are very concise and slightly cold.

Qi Xianyun subconsciously repeated, "To survive?"

Murong Xuan, who turned her back to her, nodded, "Xu Beiyou is self-reliant, he won't kill us with his own hands, but it doesn't mean that other people won't kill us, those besieging Taoist sects outside of Xuandu, once they break into Xuandu , not to mention how other people in the family are, I am afraid that you and I, mother and daughter, will hardly have a chance of survival."

Qi Xianyun frowned, still a little unbelievable, and asked: "Mother thinks those people will finally be able to break through the grand formation of Xuandu?
Murong Xuan replied: "Xianyun, under the premise that Xu Beiyou doesn't make a move, of course those people alone can't do it. Let alone a few thousand monks, even tens of thousands of monks won't help. But you have to know, the people in this world The strongest city has never been breached from the outside, you will not understand what it means for a wall to collapse and what it means for a building to collapse."

Qi Xianyun fell into silence.

Murong Xuan finally turned around, stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said softly: "Now the Daoist sect has lost their hearts, the reason why they have not really separated and disintegrated is because of the thousand years of experience, and the other is because Your father Yu Wei is still there, if he can beat Xu Beiyou, the overall situation has been settled, not to mention these thousands of bluffing monks, even if all the monks in the world are attacking in groups, there is nothing to be afraid of, the hearts of Taoists will reunite Get up, as long as the head teacher is alive, the Daoist sect will not fall for a day. But once the news of his death comes, the Daoist sect will collapse in an instant, and everyone will flee in panic. This seemingly impregnable Xuandu It’s going to be self-defeating.”

Qi Xianyun hesitated for a moment, reached out to hold the back of his mother's hand, and said softly: "Mother, don't worry too much, Xuandu still has Master Qingchen sitting in charge, so it shouldn't be like this."

The woman held her daughter's palm with her backhand, rubbed her face gently, and pulled the corner of her mouth, "Qingchen? If Qingchen is replaced by Mochen, there may be some hope, but Qingchen's person is really embarrassing. Man, he is a paper painter, where there is a wind leak, where there is a rain leak, he can make up for it, but if the beam collapses, then he can only be crushed to death under the beam."

Qi Xianyun murmured: "Are we going to sit and wait for death?"

Murong Xuan shook her head and said, "That may not be the case."

Qi Xianyun was startled.

But Murong Xuan didn't explain too much.

This Mrs. Murong, who replaced Qiu Ye as the head teacher, was called the Supreme Head Teacher. She has been in charge of the Taoist sect for many years, so she naturally knows many secrets that are difficult for ordinary people to know.

For example, the Zixiao Palace where the head teacher is located, closed the palace by itself after Qiu Ye left, making it difficult for outsiders to set foot in half a step, but Murong Xuan was able to come in precisely because they came here, It was not found by other people in the Taoist sect.

Moreover, Murong Xuan can not only come in, but also unlock many restrictions in the palace, and go all the way to the inner room where Qiuye retreats. It can be said that looking at the whole world, except for the Taoist teachers of the past, she is the only one who can do this. .

Murong Xuan suddenly laughed at herself and said: "In my life, I didn't make a wrong move in the first half of my life, and I lived comfortably and comfortably, but in the second half of my life, I made one wrong move after another. It was all stupid moves. The only move I didn't make a wrong move probably I just picked the right guy."

Qi Xianyun looked at Murong Xuan, "Mother is talking about father?"

Murong Xuan smiled and said: "Yes, I chose your father. No matter how far the two of us go, and what future generations will think of us, he will never let me down. You can also find such a lover in the future."
