Chapter 149 Turbulent Clouds

Two days later, Lin Xiao and Lou Xuan set off for the palace early.

Of course, in such an occasion, as a silent disciple, he could just stand behind him, so Lin Xiao didn't take it seriously and just went through the motions.

The Xuanzheng Hall, where the peace talks are held, is the second largest hall in the entire palace. After several repairs and expansions, it has become the political palace of Guo Xun, the leader of the country, in addition to the great dynasty meetings. It is a good idea to choose this place as the location for this two-part visit.

The weight of national peace talks is evident.

Because it was still early and all the sects had not yet arrived, Lin Xiao and Lou Xuan were not the ones who liked liveliness, so they came under the eaves of the corridor outside the hall and talked quietly, just waiting for everyone from Hanxi Mountain to arrive.

Perhaps due to the influence of the emperor's assassination a few days ago, there are quite a few guards on duty outside the Xuanzheng Hall. It doesn't matter if they are just one post every five steps or one sentry every ten steps. They are all disciples of Songfengtang who are well-trained.

Disciple, I haven’t seen any ordinary military officers or soldiers.

Not long after, a group of monks came from a distance on the royal road. They saw the figures of several Jindan masters from Hanxi Mountain among them. Lin Xiao and the others hurriedly went down the stone steps, stepped forward to greet them, and bowed.

Pay homage.

"Disciples Lin Xiao and Lou Xuan, respectfully welcome the great master, all masters and uncles..."

When Xie Hanshan, Gu Liuchen and others saw Lin Xiao coming forward, they all stopped, smiled, and immediately asked them to stand up, with approval in their eyes.

Gu Liuchen turned to look at Tong Mian and said with a smile: "The disciple mentioned Lin Xiao the day before yesterday and said that he had something to discuss with me as the master. We happened to meet him today, so we might as well talk about it.

Listen."

Tong Mian bowed, glanced at Lin Xiao, and said: "Reporting to the master, Lou Xuan, the head of the disciple's sect's crime department, personally recommended Lin Xiao, the deacon of Nanshan, Yinzhou's outer sect, to be transferred to the law hall to obey his orders. This boy's nature,

The disciple has also done a little research and found out that he is a man of sharp mind and prudent behavior, and he is also extremely loyal to the sect. I specially asked the master to approve the decree and approve this matter."

After saying this, these Jindan masters and the heads of the mountain sect all looked at each other and smiled, while the several inner disciples who followed behind them jumped in their eyes and turned to look at the person named "Lin Xiao"

Look at the outer door deacon.

You must know that this law hall is located within the Hanxi Mountain sect. It is a first-class important department with great powers. Ordinary disciples only heard that Zhufeng’s disciples were seconded to do errands and returned immediately after completing the tasks. If they want to be promoted,

Among them, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.

But now, this mere deacon from the outer sect has actually entered the hall. He was recommended by the head of the department, recommended by the hall master, and reviewed by the head of the hall. What has this person done? What kind of skills does this person have that make so many people give up their gold face?

Thinking of this, all the eyes directed at Lin Xiao invariably had a different flavor.

At this time, Lin Xiao, who was standing aside, was also stunned. Hearing what Tong Mian said, he actually wanted to transfer himself into the law hall, and it was recommended by Lou Xuan. He immediately bowed and replied: "The disciples will learn from the younger generation.

Thank you very much, Master Tong, for your appreciation, Master Lou for your recommendation, but it’s just such an absurd compliment, my disciple, I really can’t afford it...”

Although he said this, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart - it turned out that Lou Xuan was mysterious and asked him to go with him for this matter.

I'm afraid this kid is also worried that he won't be able to escape from Dajue Temple, so he came up with a countermeasure.

If you are in the Law Hall, even if the "Twin Saints of Zhankong" want to take someone, Hanxi Mountain cannot just sit back and ignore it, and just let the core disciples be taken directly to the Buddhist Kingdom to listen to the training.

But then again, Lin Xiao naturally knew what was right. No matter whether he was successful or not, he had to recognize Lou Xuan's friendship. A person who was willing to stand up for himself and make suggestions these days was not a close friend.

It’s hard to overstate the relationship between life and death.

As for whether the leader would agree to this matter, Lin Xiao didn't take it too seriously.

Unexpectedly, Gu Liuchen looked at Lin Xiao and said in a deep voice: "I know whether you deserve it or not. If you hadn't been able to avoid fire and water this time and serve me with all your heart, I'm afraid the losses in Hanxi Mountain would have been even greater. As for the secrets within

It’s even more impossible to know.”

After stopping here, the current head of Hanxi Mountain pondered for a moment and spoke again.

"It seems that when you enter the Lutang Hall, you are making the best use of people's talents and making the best use of things. When you are done here, you don't have to go back to the outer gate anymore. You can just go back to Hanxi Mountain with the Lutang disciples and take my hand.

, after completing the paperwork, let’s transfer into the law hall.”

When Tong Mian heard this, he was overjoyed. "Thank you so much, Master, for agreeing to this!"

Even Lou Xuan, who had been silent all this time, breathed a sigh of relief.

But just when Lin Xiao was about to bow to thank him, he heard Shangguan laugh and scream, poked Tong Mian's weakness from the side, and said.

"Hey, your little Lutang poached people, and you even poached me on top of Chixiao Peak?"

"Hey! Master, Master, please be merciful..." Tong Mian hurriedly hid, "This, this is not poaching, you, haven't you, haven't you taken this kid as your disciple..."

"Ha, okay! I even talked back to you!"

Shangguan Xiao pretended to kick, but Tong Mian jumped directly behind Gu Liuchen. "Head, help me, Peak Master, Peak Master, he bullies the small with his big one..."

"You brat, you still know how to ask your master for support? Haha, your master is not my senior brother!"

Shangguan Xiao was about to pull Tong Mian while he was talking, but Gu Liuchen stretched out his hand to stop him and said with a smile on his face.

"Junior brother! You, the majestic Master of Chixiao Peak, why are you dragging this junior with you!"

As he spoke, he turned towards Lin Xiao who was a little embarrassed.

"It just happened that Tong Mian mentioned this matter. I also have some ideas, so I might as well talk about it together."

Shangguan Xiao stopped his hands when he heard this and said in surprise: "Senior brother, do you have any ideas?"

Gu Liuchen nodded his head and sighed softly. "I see that this boy is seriously injured, but his spirit is strong. It was inappropriate to make hasty judgments back then. Now I see that he is still in the outer sect, and he can still encourage himself and not fall into the clouds."

As a leader, how can I make the same mistake again and again?"

"It's better to take this opportunity and recruit him into Qingxi Hall. First, try to find ways to treat his injuries, and secondly, come to the inner hall to listen to lectures. This can always supplement the foundation of practice. It is also a way to get the best of both worlds. After three to five years, he will have learned something." If you succeed, it’s not too late to enter the law hall again.”

"Ah?!"

After Gu Liuchen said this, not to mention Lin Xiao himself, Shangguan Xiao, Tong Mian, Lou Xuan and others were all surprised, and the few accompanying inner hall disciples looked at Lin Xiao even more strangely.

I wonder in my heart who is this person, so that all the leaders of the mountain sect can personally go out and rob him?

The Tong Mian's expression changed, and he muttered in a low voice as if he was dissatisfied: "Master, Master, you, you..."

I saw him muttering a few words and not daring to say anything clearly, but Shangguan Xiao couldn't bear it anymore and spoke directly.

"What are you still stammering about here!"

Then he said to Gu Liuchen, "Senior Brother, you are not doing this kindly! If this kid enters the inner hall, how will he be able to get out after three to five years! Isn't it possible to quietly give in inside and outside this place? Senior Brother Meng stopped a good disciple!"

Lin Xiao, who stood aside and seemed to have something to do with him but also seemed to have nothing to do with him, looked at each other silently. The former looked embarrassed and the latter looked strange, but both of them kept their mouths shut. No intention to speak.

Gu Liuchen gave a wry smile, raised two fingers, pointed at Shangguan and said with a smile, "Why do you immediately hear something unpleasant when something comes into your mouth?"

After saying this, he shook his head. "Come on, let's just listen to Master's judgment on this matter!"

These people suddenly turned to look at Xie Hanshan, who was smiling and watching several younger disciples "quarreling". They saw a rare startled look on the old god's face, and then he smiled.

"How come you guys are quarreling about a retired person like Lao Chan?"

Then he looked at Lin Xiao with a smile, stroked his beard and said.

"Let the old man say it, but it is simple. Since this boy has wasted two years in the outer sect, someone must make up for what he lacked during the period. Yuji will take charge of this matter. Qingxitang will be the best to come forward. Wait until there is no chance of entering the country. No, it’s not too late to go to Chixiao Peak to practice the Talisman Formation."

Then he added something extra.

"And I, Han Xishan, have never had to choose one or give up the other. As for the duties of the law hall, I just have to do both. Besides, Tong Xiaozi only waits for him to handle the case and doesn't care about his practice at all, right?"

"Hahaha..." After hearing this, several Jindan laughed in unison, as if they knew the style of Lutang.

Lin Xiao felt something in his heart, and quietly glanced at Lou Xuan, and saw that the latter had no expression on his face, but sighed softly...

Being teased loudly by these mountain masters, Tong Mian rarely blushed and said quickly: "This, this, master, please don't tear down the stage of my law hall in front of the juniors... Besides, I, I Have you ever done such a thing as only letting cows produce milk and not letting them eat grass? It’s not that bad! It’s really not that bad!”

Seeing Tong Mian's expression, everyone laughed even more.

After he stopped laughing, Shangguanxiao seemed to have remembered something and asked again, "By the way, I wonder whose head is ultimately responsible for this kid's genealogy?"

Hearing Shangguan Xiao's question, Situ Jing, the master of Dieyun Peak who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Senior brother, you are really pursuing me carefully. Since they have all joined your Chixiao Peak practice talisman array, there is no need to inquire further, right?"

The Shangguanxiao turned to look at him and laughed. "Junior brother, you don't need to get to the bottom of it. Isn't this person driven out from Dieyun Peak?"

Situ Jing's expression suddenly changed, as if he was unhappy. "Senior brother, you..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Hanshan: "This genealogy will naturally be placed on Chixiao Peak. Now, you, the famous master, should be satisfied, right?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Shangguan Xiao and Situ Jing a few more times. He also knew in his heart that among the four direct disciples of his sect, these two had always been at odds with each other since they came to the mountain to become their disciples. This has been the case for more than two hundred years.

It really hasn’t changed at all.

Sighing softly in his heart, Xie Hanshan said again: "It's getting late, and it's not right to make my fellow Immortal Sect members wait for a long time. You can follow me into the palace."

After hearing this, everyone bowed and accepted the order. "Yes, disciple, I obey the order..."

While speaking, Xie Hanshan looked at Lin Xiao and said warmly: "Be careful of arrogance and impetuosity, cultivate yourself diligently, and don't let down the expectations of the disciples..."

Lin Xiao bowed in a deep voice. "Yes, I will obey the teachings."

"Well, that's the best."

Xie Hanshan nodded slightly and led the disciples to go ahead. Only Shangguan smiled and glanced at Lin Xiao, who understood and naturally fell behind.

Xu knew that the "named" master and apprentice should have something to say, and the others didn't say much.

After everyone had gone away, the master of Chixiao Peak breathed a sigh of relief and looked Lin Xiaodao up and down.

"I've been really busy these days, and I haven't found any time to spend time with you. How about it? Is this injury getting better?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said: "Peak Master, don't worry, there is nothing serious at all. Now that the Qi Sea is gradually recovering, it will be almost done after a few more days."
