Chapter 8
Old Friend
His disciples knew about Wei Hong. Although he had not told him everything, after so many years, these disciples were no longer children. Those who didn’t know should know now.
This nominal little apprentice actually did not receive much guidance from Ye Wen, and he had no intersection with this little apprentice. However, judging from Zhou Zhiruo's words, the connection between Wei Hong and the Shushan Sect was quite close, otherwise Zhou Zhiruo would not have said what he had said before.
"I just remembered this when I talk about it, how is Mu Yan now?"
Liu Muyan was above the court and was said to be of high power and highly valued by Wei Hong. However, he believed that these four disciples would suffer disaster in the future, but he did not know whether they would respond now.
As soon as he saw everyone's expressions, Ye Wen had a rough idea in his heart: "It's probably because he guessed it!"
Sure enough, Nangong Huang's subsequent words made Ye Wen know the situation of his fourth disciple. It turned out that Liu Muyan had become the target of public criticism since he became more and more powerful in the court, but all his foundation was on the emperor Wei Hong. When his existence had threatened the emperor, his destruction became an inevitable thing.
"The younger brother did not kill him all. He just gave up his official position as Senior Brother Liu and asked him to return to his hometown to support him. Moreover, when the ministers wanted to destroy Senior Brother Liu's whole family, the younger brother also rescued him... But Senior Brother Liu was deeply hit at that time, so he couldn't afford to get sick after returning to his hometown and passed away a few months later!"
Nangong Huang's words made Ye Wen feel a little better. Although he also knew that things in the court were not that simple and would not show mercy because of the friendship between his fellow brothers, he was always a little resentful towards Wei Hong! If it weren't for Nangong Huang's words that followed, Ye Wen would have gone to find Wei Hong's trouble later.
"So that's it... So are there descendants in Mu Yan's family?"
"After Senior Brother Liu lost his power, most of his family members dispersed, and in the end they were his wife and a concubine who accompanied him back home! When Senior Brother Liu passed away, the two wives dispersed their wealth and disappeared!" Nangong Huang was also helpless. He specially sent his disciples to take Liu Muyan's family back to Shushan, but unfortunately he was one step slower.
As for why Liu Muyan did not return to Shushan when he lost power, Guo Jing said that Liu Muyan only felt that he had killed the third and sixth brothers, and his disciples and Nangong were injured, so he had no face to return to Shushan!
Hearing this, Ye Wen sighed again. Since he called back here, he sighed more times than he spoke, but what he heard and saw today, how could he not sigh?
"In the blink of an eye, people and things have changed a lot in the past few decades!" Ye Wen then asked about other situations. Originally, the disciples thought that their master was going to ask about the situation in the world, but they didn't expect that Ye Wen was not interested in those things at all, and just asked some acquaintances.
"The Tianshan Sect is no longer under the control of Li Xuan, but Senior Li is still reborn, just stops in charge of the affairs of the sect and enjoys his old age!"
"Will that guy be willing to live the rest of his life so plainly?" Ye Wen was very suspicious when he heard this. He remembered that the domineering Li Xuan would definitely not have done such a thing.
But after careful calculation, Li Xuan was in his prime when he left, so he was of course domineering.
But now? Fifty years have passed, Li Xuan is nearly a hundred years old. What ambition has been wiped out long ago?
What's more, he was determined to break the void, but unexpectedly, the Shushan Sect broke one by one, but there was no movement at all. It was unlikely that he would not be discouraged at all.
With the age of half of his body buried in the soil, he probably can see everything. He can only let go of the Tianshan Sect by just putting it down.
"The Heavenly Dao Sect and Zen Sect have now recovered most of their vitality and have started to move around the world again. At the same time, the Heavenly Dao Sect has gradually resumed its contacts with the court. Fortunately, the master and the Heavenly Dao Sect had a lot of friendship back then, so our two sects got along well!"
Ye Wen just listened to these things and didn't ask in detail. He just asked curiously: "Where is the Yudong Sect?"
Nangong Huang sighed: "The Yudong Sect has been destroyed. The last successor also joined our Shushan Sect with his teacher's letter two years ago. Please take us in!"
Ye Wen was stunned and said nothing. The topic went around and finally turned to the court: "You little brother, have you been intimate with you over the years?"
Zhou Zhiruo answered this question. Although Guo Jing and Nangong Huang both knew that their junior brother was the current emperor, Ye Wen had long said that this matter could not be promoted, and it would be enough for those who were the masters of the Shushan School to know it.
Zhou Zhiruo said: "I got closer in the early years, but in the past two years, my junior brother has grown older and cannot separate his spirit from dealing with state affairs, so..."
Ye Wen frowned: "What? I haven't sat there for so many years yet. Forget it, I'll go and talk to him in person in a few days!"
Originally, Ye Wen was not going to find Wei Hong because he thought Wei Hong was involved in something at first, but now he changed his mind because from the way Wei Hong treated Liu Muyan's family, he felt that Yue Ning's incident should have something else - although Bai Jianmen has a court background, if you have to say carefully, the court is not the same as the emperor.
By the way, he also asked Wei Hong if he would give up his wealth and honor and go with him. If he wanted to, he wouldn't mind bringing one more person!
Then Ye Wen asked some questions and knew that the eldest disciple of Xu Xian, Li Sen, had already passed away. However, Li Sen contributed his abilities to the Shushan Sect throughout his life. When he was old, he even opened his mind. He learned a palm technique from the cold pool and created a set of ice muffin palms, which left a strong mark in the Shushan Sect's classics.
At the same time, Ye Wen also knew that after the birth of the Ice Palm, a traitor appeared in the Shushan Sect, who caused trouble in the world, relying on this Ice Palm and the Xue Wuhen, who was passed down by Xu Xian's lineage.
In addition, when Yue Ning just died, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't escape, and Guo Jing also happened to be in seclusion at the most embarrassing moment, forcing Nangong Huang to go down the mountain with injuries and removed the traitor, making people in the martial arts world know that Nangong Huang is not dead yet, and even if he is injured, he cannot be underestimated.
Waving his hand, everyone scattered. When Zhou Zhiruo was about to go out, Ye Wen shouted: "The old friend in the back mountain... are he still there?"
Zhou Zhiruo was stunned and then understood who the master was talking about: "Here!"
I didn't expect Ye Wen was stunned for this time: "She is still there? Haven't you left?"
"I haven't gone down to Shushan for decades..." Zhou Zhiruo was not clear about the specific matter, but she was extremely grateful for the fact that the senior refused to leave for decades and had been protecting his biggest secret of Shushan Sect.
There are also many experts who have gone to Shushan Sect to act wildly in the past few decades. If it weren't for the protection of that senior, the Shushan Sect's secret would have been promoted long ago.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly said, "Master, besides that senior, there is also someone in Shishui Pavilion. Maybe you want to see it too."
Ye Wen was stunned, but could not guess who this person was. As for the Shishui Pavilion, it was a place similar to the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion that Ye Wen wanted to build back then, specifically used to store secret books of this sect.
But I didn’t have so much spare time at the beginning, and I just mentioned a few words casually, but I didn’t expect that my disciples would really build the Huanshi Shui Pavilion.
After walking out of the main hall, Ye Wen originally thought he wanted to go straight to the back mountain, but after remembering Zhou Zhiruo's words, he thought about it and turned to the Huanshi Shui Pavilion.
In fact, there are many places on Shushan and it is extremely wide. When Ye Wen left, the Shushan School did not use all these places. Now, many places have been opened up and more buildings have been built.
The Huan Shishui Pavilion is a newly opened lake, artificially built. At the same time, a winding stone bridge connects the only building in the lake, a loft built on the water - the Huan Shishui Pavilion!
"There is Shishui Pavilion outside, and the Langhuan Jade Cave in the back mountain! It's almost the Murong family..."
There were disciples patrolling the night near the Water Pavilion, but at this time Ye Wenxing came, no one dared to stop him - this master and the others knew each other. Today, the disciples of the Shushan Sect were all present in the main hall. Who dared to forget the appearance of his master?
They bowed and bowed one by one, and then opened the door without waiting for Ye Wen to ask questions. Ye Wen only noticed that Shishui Pavilion was not locked.
"Is this... mean that our Shushan School is very skilled and brave, and is not afraid of stealing! Or is it that a group of guys have no sense of safety?"
Shaking his head and stroking in, Ye Wen noticed that there were bookshelves in it, and there were many booklets, each booklet.
There are tags similar to the catalog next to each bookshelves, such as: fist, palm, sword, sword, internal power, etc.
In fact, the Shushan School’s martial arts secrets are not so exaggerated, but there are still many Taoist treasures and various mixed learnings, which makes the rows of bookshelf full of them. Originally, Ye Wen just made some books and put them in the store first. If there are too many martial arts in the future, the disciples can move these things out. After all, the library also needs to collect many books.
Unexpectedly, my disciples did not dare to touch his decorations. They used to put them in the past and now they still put them in. If there is no place to put them in, they would rather add bookshelf or expand the attic than clean up the books he placed on them.
After touching his nose, Ye Wen felt very proud! But then he turned his gaze to a figure that had just appeared, and then he watched the man keep scratching the ground with a broom in his hand, and cursed in his heart: "Which grandson is pretending to be a sweeping monk with me here?"
He was also very clear in his heart. This person must be the person Zhou Zhiruo said who had been secretly protecting the Shushan Sect. It was probably because Shishui Pavilion was so unprepared, which was also related to this person.
Just after roughly observing, Ye Wen was surprised to find that this man's kung fu is not weak, and his internal strength is not inferior to Zhou Zhiruo and Guo Jing at all.
"How many years have you been here?"
At this time, the figure also noticed Ye Wen, and had turned out, revealing a wrinkled, extremely old face, and a lot of dust on his snow-white hair and beard. It was probably rubbed during the cleaning. He was bent down to salute him.
"If you go back to the head, it's been forty years..."
Ye Wen calculated forty years, ten years after he broke himself, he began to clean the people here: "What name do you call it?"
"Zhang Gui..."
Ye Wen was shocked, and he didn't expect that the old man was still an acquaintance: "It's you?"
After taking a closer look at Zhang Gui, a sudden flash of inspiration flashed in my heart and I laughed: "It seems that you are also a lucky person. You must have found and practiced that picture!"
Zhang Gui only learned a set of Quanzhenxin Methods with Ye Wen back then. Although his skills were not bad when he practiced Quanzhen Methods consistently, it was definitely not that high, and Zhang Gui's energy was not covered - it could not be covered in Ye Wen's eyes, so after looking at it for a moment, he thought of the key.
That is a picture of the Eternal Life in these books that I was mixed in. Only that Taoist technique could allow Zhang Gui to reach this level now.
"Where is the picture?"
Zhang Gui said: "Since I discovered that the picture was a profound skill, I reported that Elder Zhou has now collected the picture and kept it on the top layer!" Elder Zhou was Zhou Zhiruo. Although Zhou Zhiruo was doing the job of the head, he was still just an elder in the sect in name.
Ye Wen nodded and looked around, then he noticed that the first level of the kung fu was all relatively superficial, and I think all the advanced kung fu was put on it.
Thinking of the upstairs, Ye Wen suddenly said curiously: "Who is upstairs?" Since he called in, he found that there were two people in the building, one of which was Zhang Gui, whose breathing was steady and silent, and his footsteps were extremely steady. His skill could almost be in the front of this world.
The other one is a bit strange. His breathing is fast and slow, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and he feels like he has suffered internal injuries, but his steps are extremely light and almost impossible to detect. If Ye Wen's strength was not too perverted to these people, I'm afraid no one would have noticed that there was another person in this building.
This made Ye Wen very surprised. He was not without experts in Shushan Sect, but he was not on the surface!
As soon as he mentioned the person upstairs, Zhang Gui looked bitter: "That was a young man who was envied by Elder Zhou when I was old and sent to help me. He accidentally flipped through a book. Because it was taken out of the Taoist sect and it was not written about it, it was martial arts in this sect, so he just thought it was some ordinary qi training methods. Unexpectedly, after practicing it, something went wrong..."
"Elder Zhou, Elder Nangong and Elder Guo couldn't see what the problem was. He just thought that the kung fu he practiced was quite strange. It was speculated that the mantra in the book was not complete, so he was like this!"
Ye Wen was stunned and then remembered that what he deliberately mixed in the Taoist sect was not only the immortality technique of the picture, but also the demon skills were also contained in it.
If it was the Heavenly Demonic Art, it would not be surprising. The Heavenly Demonic Art was extremely difficult to practice, and the lightness skills would become extremely high after practicing. It is probably because this unlucky child has gone apart in practice, so he has such strange symptoms.
With a wave of his hand, he said to Zhang Gui, "Take me up and have a look!" Then he went upstairs with Zhang Gui. At first glance, he saw a pretty, delicate face full of cold sweat. He lay there gritted his teeth and did not dare to say anything, as if he was enduring great pain.
Seeing this, Ye Wen immediately pointed his fingers, and the innate purple qi came out. He wanted to stabilize the true qi in his body first. Then a purple lotus was slapped out and placed on his lower abdomen and dantian, and then he reached out and took the pulse.
"Um?"
After exploring it, he found that the true energy was actually very strange. Ye Wen looked at it, and finally put on the young man's chin and looked at it for a few times. After only a long time, he was shocked and said: "Is this a boy?"
Zhang Gui didn't understand why Ye Wen was so surprised, but just thought it was shocked by the child's appearance: "Lingzhu is indeed a boy, but her appearance has become more and more cute in the past two years, and her Adam's apple is getting smaller and smaller..."
Ye Wen wiped his cold sweat, and he finally understood what was wrong!
Just now, he found that the spiritual bamboo's demon's true energy was in chaos, but there was no mistake in his practice skills, which made him very strange.
Unexpectedly, Nezuo is here. Love is a man who practices only women. It would be strange if nothing happens!
"How did this guy get started with the Heavenly Demonic Technique?"
This question made him puzzled, and finally he could only say: "I don't know if it's your luck or bad luck!" Then he turned around and asked Zhang Gui: "Is there any other changes besides Adam's apple and appearance?"
Zhang Gui shook his head and said he didn't understand! Ye Wen had to ask bluntly: "I asked him if his body had ever become a woman?" But he cursed in his heart: "Does a man practice the Demon Art and the Phoenix Nirvana Art have the same effect?"
But then I heard Zhang Gui answer: "Apart from the Adam's apple, there was no other vision..."
Ye Wen looked at it again. Because of his true qi suppression, Ling Zhu, whose true qi was calmed down, had already fallen asleep. However, he still had no idea how to solve the trouble of this kid. He had to throw this matter aside first, say a few words to Zhang Gui, and then leave the Shishui Pavilion.
When he walked towards the back mountain, Ye Wen thought: "If it really doesn't work, just waste your kung fu!" Anyway, he has many martial arts in Shushan Sect, so it is not impossible to find a suitable martial art! The Lingzhu can practice the magic skill with his male body, which is also a genius, so it cannot be wasted!
Just as he was muttering, Ye Wen had seen the steep mountain wall after many years. But for him now, it was no different from a step on an ordinary staircase. He raised his leg gently and the next second, he was already standing on the cliff.
Walking through the winding narrow path, Ye Wen saw the beautiful scenery of the valley that is like spring all year round. However, what is very different from that time was that as soon as he entered the valley, he saw an exquisite wooden house. On the big tree in front of the house, a swing made of vines and wooden boards was shaking gently at this time.
