On the brown land, ravines tens of meters deep crisscross each other. Under the pale yellow sunset, they look like a maze of vicissitudes. Every intersection and turn outlines the years with its wonderful angles.
of confusion and heaviness.
This is Barbarian Goulian, the out-and-out center of the northwest region, where the famous Daxing Hall is located in the mainland.
The Daxing Hall is divided into four halls: southeast, northwest and northwest. Among the four halls, the north hall is the main hall and the remaining three halls are sub-halls.
Different from the popular artistic conception schools on the mainland, Daxingdian still retains a strong school style.
These days, the atmosphere in Daxing Hall has been quite uneasy.
Two years ago, when the West Palace was in trouble in Xiqu, six envoys from the South Palace were visiting the Cha family. The Xiqu incident involved the Cha family's boss Wen Cangyuan, and the six envoys had just enjoyed the welcome ceremony held by the Cha family.
, before the excitement cooled down, Wen Cangyuan immediately and unreasonably detained them all, locked them in a dungeon and tortured them all, making life worse than death.
The relationship between the three Daxing halls was not originally very harmonious. Because of this matter, the South Hall and the West Hall were at odds with each other. The Lord of the South Hall, Luo Badu, and the Lord of the West Hall, Meng Mochen, kept quarreling. In addition,
Above, Cang Yuan made use of the topic on the Xiqu issue, and the lion opened his mouth. The chief palace master of the Daxing Palace and the lord of the North Palace, Gu Xiaotong, was very worried and had a very difficult life.
After two years of settling down, things finally calmed down, and the negotiations with the Cha family finally came to fruition. After paying a heavy price, the six envoys from the South Palace were finally released last month.
When the six envoys set foot on the land in the northwest, they were all very sad. Several of the younger ones lay on the ground and cried loudly. Luo Cizhang, the leader of the mission, also had red eyes and was speechless and choked.
The return of the six envoys opened a new chapter in the dispute between the four great halls.
Gu Xiaotong personally presided over the welcome ceremony, but it failed to calm the grievances in the hearts of the six envoys. The day after Luo Cizhang came back, he led five fellow prisoners to sit in silence at the door of the West Hall. Two hours later, the sit-in was upgraded.
Because of the scolding, after half an hour the scolding escalated into a confrontation. After another half an hour, the two sides were already starting to get angry. Fortunately, the envoy from the North Palace appeared in time and gave everyone a good start.
Luo Cizhang's mood has been calmed down, and this matter is over. Gu Xiaotong doesn't take it too seriously. His headache now is another matter. The old man Wen Cangyuan keeps shouting at Cha's family.
, to push the envelope even further. Gu Zhutong was very angry at Wen Cangyuan's behavior, but the Lanchi meeting was being intensively planned, so Gu Zhutong had to give in.
More than 1,200 years ago, after the 126th Lanchi Meeting came to an end, chaos arose frequently in the realm of realm cultivation. This grand gathering of realm cultivation has since become the last song. Now in the prosperous Kangning, the three giants
Everyone is determined to hold this grand event again, restore its respected status thousands of years ago, and also use this to promote the prosperity of the realm of cultivation.
The slogan of the Lanchi meeting this time is to open the door for a conference, which means that all Jingxiu schools are welcome to participate, including those schools that were driven out of the country thousands of years ago. It can be predicted that today, when the Jian Dynasty has long been destroyed, the three major schools have issued such a statement.
After a clear signal, those Jingxiu schools that are struggling to survive overseas will definitely return to the mainland one after another, reappearing the grand occasion of thousands of people joining forces.
Under this kind of chaos, harmony is the main theme.
After the Xiqu incident, Baixiangjingyuan sent envoys to mediate and negotiate peace again and again. It was very obvious that Baixiangjingyuan favored the Zha family in mediating. The reason behind it was actually not profound. It was because Wen Cangyuan was not familiar with the matter.
Reasonable, so Baixiang Jingyuan didn't dare to reason with him, fearing that Wen Cangyuan would come forward and really mess up the Lanchi meeting, so they could only keep putting pressure on Daxingdian.
Sometimes, the rules in the world are so bullshit.
Gu Xiaotong also knew that this reason was ridiculous, but under the premise of the Lanchi meeting, he could only bear it. As the senior Gu Xidi of Daxing Hall said, a real ruthless person must not only deal with
If you are cruel to others, the most important thing is to be cruel to yourself.
A notice from the guard came outside the door, and Ma Dongmiao, the deacon in front of the hall, asked to see him.
When Gu Yantong came to the living room, Ma Dongmiao, who was full of vigilance, was already waiting there. He was accompanied by a person, half of his body was wrapped in bandages, and blood was still oozing out.
The white bandages were stained red, and only half of his good face was exposed. He could see that he was a handsome young man, with a look of tenacity between his brows and eyes.
"What's going on?" Gu Zhutong stood in front of the two of them with his hands behind his hands. His voice was clear and distant, like a lyre. This was the ultimate expression of Wangtianhou's artistic conception. His vocal cords, larynx and resonant cavity have been polished by the artistic conception all year round.
, becomes like a dragon's tendons and an iron drum.
Ma Dongmiao didn't care to praise the master of the palace for his cultivation. He saluted Gu Mandiao, turned his head and said, "Lao Que, please tell me."
The man wrapped in bandages suddenly knelt in front of Gu Xiaotong, dragged his injured body and began to kowtow. After several heavy muffled sounds, the white floor was stained red with blood.
Gu Yantong looked at Lao Que's performance calmly. It wasn't until Lao Que kowtowed nine times and stopped that Gu Yantong said coldly: "Speak concisely."
The coldness of the other party slightly cooled down the heat in Lao Que's heart, and he nodded with difficulty and said: "This junior's surname is Lao Que, and his name is Que. He is a native of Dahengxing City, Heshang City, and he is the most incompetent disciple of Venerable Hanyan. Nine days ago, your palace
Two envoys, Yu Bai and Shao Ruosong, came to Dahengxing City and happened to stay at the residence of the junior. They became close friends with the junior and had a very happy conversation. The two brothers Yu Shao went to Hengziling to send the invitation letter to the Goulian Conference, but something went wrong.
, on the way back, they stopped at the junior's mansion. Seeing that the two brothers were upset, the junior took it upon themselves to hold a banquet in the mansion to cheer them up. Unexpectedly, just after the banquet was over, and they were talking and laughing, a thug suddenly rushed in, and first killed two of them.
The two brothers Dragon Rider and Yu Shao rushed out to stop them, but they played into each other's hands and were beaten to death by that man. The younger generation was lucky enough to escape with his life and did not dare to delay. He dragged his dying body to the palace and beat the two brothers to the palace.
Notified of his death.”
Gu Yantong frowned slightly, turned her head and looked at Ma Dongmiao and said, "What do Yu and Shao do?"
Ma Dongmiao said: "These two are the eight-star disciples of the North Hall. Seeing that they are loyal and reliable, Shamanzi sent them to the Heshangyuan area to deliver invitations. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened." The Shamanzi that Ma Dongmiao mentioned
, it is Sha Paijiu, one of the eight deacons of the North Hall.
Gu Yantong thought for a moment and asked casually: "Do you have any clues?"
Ma Dongmiao nodded and said: "Lao Que participated in that fierce battle. According to him, that person was a witchcraft. The artistic conception he used was extremely exquisite and rare, and it also included Zha's small technique of conferring gods."
The Little Divine Conferring Technique is the top artistic conception inheritance of the Cha family and has never been passed down to the outside world. Now this artistic conception suddenly appears in the northwest...
Gu Xiaotong's expression became solemn, she squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Lao Que and asked, "Seriously?"
Lao Que's voice was firm and he said: "It's absolutely true. Brother Shao said it himself, and Brother Yu also confirmed it."
Gu Yantong was silent, and Ma Dongmiao said: "Wen Cangyuan is really going too far. In the past, we just tolerated extorting some things, but this time he actually sent people to the ground in the northwest to kill people. Palace Master, you can't
If you don't tolerate it any longer, that old guy is obviously trying to ruin our relationship."
Gu Yantong didn't answer, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "He Shangyuan, who did we invite to the Goulian Conference?"
Ma Dongmiao said: "That place is relatively remote, but there are many experts. There are three people invited, namely Ban Tianou from Jianlongwan, Wensong from Hengziling, and Chehan from Hanyanling."
"Wen Song? Please don't move?" Wen Song and Daxingdian had never dealt with each other very well. Gu Xiaotong easily guessed the other party's reaction.
Lao Que, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly said: "To the Lord of the Palace, the two envoys Yu Shao once mentioned to the juniors that Wen Song relied on his old age and refused to accept the letter, saying that 'Lanchi is gone, Zize Qiu Ruins, Goulian
The letters are coming, the dogs are barking and gathering.”
Ma Dongmiao sighed and said: "This old man has a bit of a reputation, so it's not easy to deal with him casually."
Gu Yantong's eyes were slightly cold, and he nodded. He stopped mentioning the topic. He turned to Lao Que and asked, "You risked your life to report the message. You have done some good work. What do you want?"
Hearing this, Lao Que kowtowed three times to Gu Xiaotong and said, "I originally had a happy family, with a loving father and a loving wife, and the whole family was happy. Unexpectedly, disaster fell from the sky, and the murderer wanted to silence him while killing people.
, a fire burned the whole family of the younger generation to ashes, and the father, wife and concubines were all buried in the sea of fire. The younger generation was lucky enough to escape, but only a half-crippled body was left. Lao Que had no other intention in this life, he just wanted to be in the palace when the murderer was killed.
Lord, you can let me eat a piece of his flesh and drink a mouthful of his blood."
Listening to the young man's gnashing of teeth, Gu Xiaotong opened his eyes slightly, stared at Lao Que for a moment, and said: "You caused this disaster because of the Daxing Hall, and I will not treat you badly. A little burn,
There is no need to worry as Daxing Hall will take care of things for you. You can stay here for the time being and wait until your injury heals before you decide where to go."
After Xu Yi finished speaking, Gu Xiaotong ignored Lao Que's kowtow and flicked his fingers, and a scream broke through the air.
Not long after, a ferocious black-faced man appeared at the door. Without knocking or saluting, he stood thorny at the door of the living room and said in a rough voice: "What's the matter?"
Gu Xiaotong didn't take it seriously and pointed at Lao Que who was half-kneeling on the ground and said: "Pujiu, please settle down for this young man and help him heal his injuries first."
Put nine?
When Lao Que heard the name, he immediately guessed the identity of the person—Sha Paijiu, one of the eight deacons in the North Hall of Daxing Hall. Among the eight deacons, although this person was not ranked high, he was the most worthy.
Gu Zhutong's trust and having Sha Paijiu take care of him showed that Gu Zhutong valued him. Lao Que couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he thought of this.
Sha Paijiu's eyes swept across Lao Que's body coldly, landed on Ma Dongmiao, and said, "Is this the rag you picked up?"
Ma Dongmiao's heart was filled with confusion when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at the carved dragon and jade pillar on the left, too lazy to reply.
Sha Paijiu didn't expect him to reply. He picked up Lao Que's neck and dragged him out of the hall, completely ignoring the burns all over Lao Que's body.
Lao Que was suddenly treated so roughly, and he was in so much pain that he was dripping with cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and let the pain wreak havoc in his body without making a sound.
"Remember, that matter is rotten in your mind. You are not allowed to tell anyone without my instructions." Gu Xiaotong's voice penetrated into the ears like a cone and a drum, making Lao Que's soul feel numb.
Gu Xiaotong stood with his hands behind his hands, squinting his eyes, as if looking at the direction in which the two people were leaving, or looking at the bright red sunset in the sky. His thin body was like a tall and tall pine tree on an isolated cliff.
proud.
Just as Ma Dongmiao was about to speak, Gu Yantong's voice rang out: "Dongmiao, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
Ma Dongmiao thought for a moment and said: "First, immediately mobilize manpower to hunt down the murderer. No matter life or death, in this emergency, we must not let this matter affect the reputation of Daxing Palace; second, immediately send a letter to the Cha family to condemn Wen
Cang Yuan’s actions are a bargaining chip for the dispute over the Xiqu incident; third, allocate more manpower to prepare for the Gaolian Conference to ensure that the conference is not affected by this incident.”
Gu Yantong was silent for a moment, then said: "You have thought very carefully, but you are going in the wrong direction. The evil case in Dahengxing City was committed by Wen Song. We must use thunderous means to beat this unruly person into scraps. It is a big deal.
Previously, no second voice was allowed on the ground in the northwest. As for Wen Song's accomplice, I will leave it to Tan Xie, and you can leave it alone." dd
