After sending Situ Kong away, Qingwen invited everyone to go to the main hall to narrate the story.
As soon as they sat down, Murong Yunxiu patted Mu Shilan on the shoulder and joked: "Not bad, not bad! You and Mr. Su had an idea and lied about being the deputy masters of Huanyan Pavilion. Then they should understand that if they think about it again in the future,
To embarrass Huanyan Pavilion is to embarrass you, so you have to weigh it carefully."
But Qingwen asked with a serious face: "Can you two really serve as deputy pavilion masters of our sect?"
Su Wangting was stunned when he heard this, and after looking at each other with Mu Shilan, he said, "Brother Mu and I call ourselves the deputy masters of the Huanyan Pavilion. It's not a big deal. The rules of the Precious Sect that have lasted for thousands of years do not allow men to be admitted?"
Qingwen sighed softly and said softly: "But now that I am the master of the pavilion, there are some rules... I think they have to be changed. I dare not go against the ancestral teachings by only accepting female disciples, but I order female disciples to be banned for life.
I don't think the marriage aspect is appropriate. After all...most of us are children without a father, and we are well aware of the pain involved."
Su Wangting nodded: "This is indeed an unkind rule. I would like to suggest that if you want to ensure that the female disciples of the sect will not be lost, you can live in the nearest village or town after marriage. Once the sect calls, you can return immediately. I would like to think of other big disciples.
The male disciples of the sect do the same thing after they get married, why can't you do the same?"
Qingwen nodded slightly: "What Mr. Su said is absolutely true, and that's exactly what I considered. But... I don't dare to change the rule of not accepting men into the family. In this case, how can you two be called the deputy masters of our sect?"
"
"This is easy to handle!" Murong Yunxiu stood up excitedly, "Sister Qingwen, if you don't mind, can you take me under your sect? And my sister has the audacity to ask for a deputy pavilion master?"
Qingwen was startled when she heard this, nodded at a loss and said: "Why did sister say this?"
"In this way, after I join your sect, I can pass on the skill of using hidden weapons to everyone. The right way is to have many skills without being overwhelmed. I believe that after Shilan improves your sect's swordsmanship, body skills and internal strength, the Huanyan Pavilion Sect will
The strength of the sect will greatly increase. If it is coupled with a surprising hidden weapon skill, wouldn’t it be the icing on the cake? In the future, we will not be afraid of other factions coming to stir up trouble."
Qingwen listened silently and nodded from time to time.
Murong Yunxiu continued: "Now, if I become the deputy master of Huanyan Pavilion, if someone comes to cause trouble, should Mu Shilan, my husband, help me?"
"What about Mr. Su?" Qingwen asked.
Su Wangting bared his teeth and smiled: "That's easy, just tell the outside world that the deputy master of our sect is my sister. From this, Huanyan Pavilion has not broken the rules, and Brother Mu and I can legitimately join the noble sect.
Things, I have nothing to say to others!"
After hearing this, Qingwen stood up and paced back and forth. After hesitating for a long time, she clapped her hands and said, "Okay! It's up to you. Sister Yunxiu will be the deputy pavilion master of our sect!"
Mu Shilan touched his chin, thoughtfully: "This is a good idea, but... relying on the two of us is only a temporary solution and cannot be relied on forever. If you want to prevent the sect from being disturbed for a long time, the only way is to improve the sect.
Strength is the last word. Well, it will take at least half a year to improve your sect's swordsmanship, body skills and internal strength. During these six months, I will stay in your Huanyan Pavilion until my disciples have mastered the improved skills.
How about I leave again?"
After a pause, Mu Shilan smiled naively and said: "I still have to go to Ningzhou to meet my father-in-law, and I am anxious to get married."
Murong Yunxiu rolled his eyes and pushed Mu Shilan angrily: "Since I agreed to sister Qingwen to be the deputy pavilion master, how could I leave in half a year? You can't live in a fairyland like Huanyan Pavilion?
According to me, after telling my father about the situation, we can simply get married in Huanyan Pavilion! This will also set a precedent for sister Qingwen to abolish the sect rule of no marriage!"
Mu Shilan didn't dare to talk back, so she had to say yes.
Su Wangting stood up with a big smile, cupped his hands and said, "Hahaha, I'll congratulate you two in advance. I'll definitely come and ask for a wedding drink by then."
"Are you leaving now?" Qingwen saw Su Wangting standing up, her eyes full of reluctance.
Su Wangting nodded: "Yes, you know, I still have something to do and can't stay here long."
Qingwen bit her red lips lightly, lowered her head and whispered softly: "I know, you still want to find the white jade piece to confirm whether your sweetheart is still alive..."
Looking at Qingwen with a disappointed face, Su Wangting smiled bitterly and said: "Master, don't worry, if your sect is in trouble, I will definitely show up to rescue you!"
Mu Shilan smiled and said: "You only have to worry a hundred times. In less than two years, I will tell you that even the bald donkeys in the Luohan Hall of Tieshan Temple will not be able to compete with the disciples of Huanyan Pavilion."
After a pause, Mu Shilan's face tightened, and she asked: "The three major sects suffered a loss today, especially Tianlan Peak and Cuiyou Valley. I'm afraid they will still cause trouble in the near future. Brother Su, when the time comes, I will
To kill or not to kill?”
Su Wangting frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "If it doesn't make sense, kill him."
"What if people from Tieshan Temple also come? If the monks from Luohan Hall swarm us, even I can't guarantee that they will be able to escape unscathed."
Su Wangting snorted coldly and said: "I predict that Tieshan Temple will not invade in the near future. Now the heads of the four famous sects and their elites are practicing hard in seclusion, lest Nie Yunfei will go on a killing spree after practicing the strange scriptures. This point, starting from today
It can be seen that the leaders of the three major sects and a large number of elites have not shown up. Well... if there is a large-scale invasion from Tieshan Temple, one word, run away! Take Qingwen and Miss Murong and run away! Save your life and look for me.
Say it again!"
After a pause, Su Wangting added: "Then add another layer of insurance. You can spread the news in the world, just say that Huanyan Pavilion has given me the white jade piece in return for my kindness in helping them return to the sect. That way.
As soon as they arrived, they naturally turned their attention to me, after all, the Nine Chapters of Tianji White Jade Plate is their real goal!"
Mu Shilan nodded heavily: "Understood."
Before they were separated, Qingwen rubbed the sore corners of her eyes, took out a small brocade box from her arms and stuffed it into Su Wangting's hand.
"This is?"
Qingwen grabbed Su Wangting's sleeves and said softly: "This is our farewell. I don't know when we will see each other again. You...be careful. I originally wanted to give this white jade piece to you directly, but after thinking about it, I still...
I'd rather lend it to you."
"Why?"
Qingwen's cheeks turned red and her beautiful eyes flashed: "If I give it as a gift, I'm afraid you will never come back. If I borrow it, you will always return it."
Su Wangting gave a bitter smile, opened the box and glanced at the white jade piece, then stuffed the box back into Qingwen's hand.
"What are you..."
Su Wangting patted the brocade box and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will come back when I have time to see if you are okay. Besides, don't I have to come back on the day Brother Mu and Miss Murong get married? Haha, I believe you, this
You can keep this piece of jade for me for the time being, and I will pick it up later when I have gathered the other pieces of white jade."
Murong Yunxiu saw Qingwen's thoughts, stepped forward and held her arm, comforting her: "Isn't this better? With this white jade piece by his side, he will definitely come back to get it. What a good hope."
Qingwen pursed her lips tightly when she heard this and sobbed unsatisfactorily.
"Then, let's say goodbye." Upon seeing this, Su Wangting clasped his fists and turned around in a hurry.
"Wait!" Mu Shilan suddenly said.
Su Wangting stopped and turned around.
"Haha, Brother Su, don't blame me for talking too much. Don't you understand what Miss Qingwen is thinking?" Mu Shilan said quietly.
"I understand." Su Wangting gritted his teeth and turned around again, "But I can't!"
Looking at Su Wangting striding out of the palace door, Mu Shilan shook his head helplessly: "Why are you doing this..."
"Yes... How could a smart person like him not understand..." Murong Yunxiu stared blankly at his leaving figure, "It's just that in his heart, he can no longer tolerate others..."
On the way down the mountain, Su Wangting was thinking secretly.
Among the white jade pieces whose whereabouts are now known, there are three at Nie Yunfei's place, one at his own place, and one at Qingwen's place.
These five coins have specific whereabouts.
The one that has yet to be found in the bitter cold land is hard to find.
Nowadays, there is daylight for half a year. If you want to look for it, you have to wait until night falls in half a year before you can find it through the fluorescence emitted by the white jade pieces.
But that's like finding a needle in a haystack.
According to Situ Kong, another one probably fell to the Holy Fire Kingdom in the Western Region.
In other words, there are currently five coins with specific whereabouts; two coins have a general range.
But there are two more, and there are no clues at all.
trouble.
It seems that it is really difficult to collect all nine chapters of Tianji.
Go down the mountain and mount your horse.
Head to Luyang City, fifty miles away.
According to Jin Youzhong's account, Pan Zaixing's grandmother's family was the Feng family in Luyang.
He was an unfamiliar place, so if he really fled to Kyushu, there was a high probability that he would go to his grandmother's house.
How can we let such enemies go?
This person is the murderer who indirectly killed Qin Ruowei!
What's even more disgusting is that this guy actually used a substitute to die in the first place and played with himself for so long!
The more Su Wangting thinks about it, the more angry he becomes!
Luyang City is a small town, and after a little inquiry, I learned that there are two Feng families in Luyang.
One is the Feng family in the west of the city, and the other is the Feng family in the north of the city.
According to inquiries, the two Feng families were from the same clan and originally lived in a village in the west of the city.
But more than four hundred years ago, a martial arts champion emerged from the Feng clan.
It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
But this Wu Zhuangyuan was afraid of being outdone by the people in the same village, and when the villagers asked him to do this or that from time to time, he found a place with excellent feng shui in the north of the city and built a new house, and moved there with his family.
past.
After more than four hundred years of reproduction, the Feng family in the north of the city is now much more prosperous than the Feng family in the west.
The ancestral home of Wu Zhuangyuan in Feng Village in the north of the city was inherited by the eldest son of his eldest son, and most of the family's assets also belong to this lineage.
Nowadays, the eldest son of the eldest son, thanks to the blessings of his ancestors, has become a hot imperial businessman and a big family well-known far and wide.
After a little analysis, Su Wangting came to a conclusion.
Needless to say, those who can marry into a famous family in Silla must come from a wealthy family.
Since the royal merchants had to search for rare treasures for the palace, they often traveled to foreign lands, so it was possible that they had been to Silla.
So it's very simple, just go to Wu Zhuangyuan's ancestral home in Feng Village in the north of the city and find out.
The journey of just over fifty miles continued at a fast pace, and before long, Su Wangting had arrived at Feng Village in the north of Luyang City.
The scale of Wu Zhuangyuan's ancestral home was indeed as grand as he imagined. Just by looking at the elegant courtyard walls, one could guess that this home must be extremely luxurious.
I saw a plaque hanging high above the main entrance of Wu Zhuangyuan's ancestral home, with the four characters "Wukui Family" written on it. The vermilion door was closed tightly, and only a small side door was opened. Several young men guarding the door were chatting at the door.
Su Wangting rolled his eyes, secretly thinking that if he went to the villagers to inquire about the news about this house, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
After all, this village is full of people named Feng, and they are all descendants of the Wu champion.
So after thinking for a moment, Su Wangting got off his horse, stepped forward with a smile and clasped his fists: "Excuse me, brothers, I wonder if the Feng Mansion has hired anyone recently?"
A servant looked sideways at Su Wangting and said with a sneer: "Brother, you look very cool, you are not a local, are you? Any servant who wants to beg for food in the Feng Mansion would not rely on the recommendation of an acquaintance in the manor.
?Do you have any acquaintances in Feng Mansion?"
Su Wangting shook his head blankly.
The boy sneered and waved his hands: "Then go away quickly. There are so many people waiting at the entrance of the imperial merchant's mansion. There are important things to be done in the house these two days, and the housekeeper will definitely not recruit outsiders who don't know the details.
Servant, please leave quickly."
Su Wangting took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and said with a smile: "I wonder what big thing this Feng Mansion is going to do?"
The boy took the broken silver, weighed it a few times, put it in his arms, and asked, "Didn't you see a competition platform being built under the archway at the entrance of the village when you entered the village?"
"Uh... I saw it, I thought it was for a stage or something."
The young man nodded: "It's a competition platform. After the Feng family became the number one scholar in martial arts, there was a tradition of competition to choose a son-in-law. Tomorrow is the day when the eldest daughter of the Feng family competes to choose a son-in-law. At that time, martial arts families from several nearby states will come to participate.
Contest."
"A contest to recruit a bride?"
The boy sneered and said: "What kind of marriage are you recruiting? It's not like the Feng family doesn't have a young master, so why do you need to recruit a bride? It's just to choose a son-in-law!"
"Can you ask for a match?"
The boy waved his hands repeatedly: "There is no such request. What the Feng family values is the son-in-law's skills, not his family background. If the family is poor, the Feng family will give a large sum of gold and silver to the daughter to ensure that the married daughter will live a prosperous life. Hmm...
But having said that, those who come to the competition in the past are all discerning and worthy, and those from mediocre families consciously do not participate. Most of them are young masters from prominent martial arts families in various states."
"I see..." Su Wangting touched his chin and turned his eyes away, "Then...shall the winner marry the eldest daughter directly, or?"
The young man shook his head: "According to the rules, the eldest lady must stay in the mansion for another seven days before she can leave the palace. The new uncle must stay in the guest room of the mansion for seven days, and can only accept the banquet after being entertained by the closest relatives in the clan.
Take the bride."
Su Wangting nodded repeatedly when he heard this.
And the corners of his mouth raised into a wicked smile.
