One hundred and thirty-one chapters, a round in the sky
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-One, a round from the sky comes out
When Shen Shen saw Xiang Yinghua in the Songhe Hall of Songhe Valley, in front of all the Fengmen sects, Shen Shen felt a little unruly. He stood up and came out of the crowd, went up to meet him and asked, "Junior sister Xiang, You are finally back! I hope you can explain how Sun Fengbo died."
Before Xiang Yinghua could say hello to everyone, she was blocked by Shen Shen at the door of Songhe Hall. She said calmly: "Master Shen, please be patient and go in to talk. I will understand the cause and effect of the matter." Give me an explanation in public."
Shen Shen blushed and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Shen, I am rude. Junior Sister Xiang has been running around for more than ten days to find out the reason for the sake of our sect. The Nine Stars Sect is very grateful!"
After entering the Songhe Hall and meeting with the experts from various sects, Shen Shenyi didn't have time to speak, but Xiang Yinghua spoke first. She took out a photo and asked Shen Shen, "Master Shen, do you know this thing?"
Shen Shen glanced at it twice, nodded and said: "I have the impression that it is Sun Fengbo's portable magic weapon. I tried it in the Nine Star Sect's main hall last year and saw him using it once."
Xiang Yinghua smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "You are wrong, this is not the portable magic weapon of Hall Master Sun, but a cultural relic stolen by the villagers of Feiju Village. The police found it at the village director's house. What I took is a piece of physical evidence. photo."
Then she took out another photo and a report and handed it over: "This is Hall Master Sun's personal magic weapon. It was taken from his corpse. I saw it with my own eyes. It is the same as another short bronze staff. They are almost identical. According to the appraisal, it is a ceremonial object used in ancient sacrificial rituals. According to the records in the murals at the historical sites, it is a set of twelve. This is the appraisal report.
Not only did I go to the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau and see with my own eyes the ancient buildings unearthed in Feiju Village, but I also got graphic materials and the official excavation report, which I sent back a week ago. Sun Fengbo blocked the road and tried to kill people and seize the treasure, but was caught by Fengmen who had returned from overseas. Comrade Melander killed him because he was trying to seize the bronze tree.
Later, I visited the archaeological site in Feiju Village and personally interviewed the archaeological team members who were transporting Jianmu. I saw with my own eyes the murals around the altar where Jianmu was unearthed. I also saw that the police found identical short bronze staffs from the villagers’ homes. I I think this matter has come to light.”
Xiang Yinghua also withheld a trump card in his hand, which was the information about Sun Fengbo's magical weapon. He returned to Songhe Valley and threw it to Shen Shenyi, the leader of the Nine Star Sect, in front of him. There was no doubt about the cause and effect of the matter. She intended to return to protect You. Fang, but judging from the facts, the reality is indeed the case.
In front of so many comrades, several disciples of the Jiuxing Sect were ashamed. Shen Shen sighed: "This is the shame of the Jiuxing Sect, it is an insult to the family tradition!... When my master was still alive, he secretly reminded Sun Fengbo If you are willing to work hard in practicing the secret method, you may be smart and achieve something in the future. But if you are brave and timid, and have a narrow-minded nature, you should not be entrusted with big things. I hope you can die in peace! ... Master regrets accepting this apprentice and calls me Pingdai Be more vigilant and restrained, because I have the responsibility of being a master and the leader!"
Jingnian, the leader of the Nizhang Hall, also said: "I am in charge of the discipline of Jiuxing Sect and monitor the family style. The incident of Sun Fengbo is my fault for failing to investigate!"
The remaining four hall masters were silent. When Xiang Xiaoli saw this scene, he didn't want his guests to be too embarrassed, so he tried to persuade them: "There are dead branches on the big tree. Sun Fengbo's fault lies in his own actions, before cleaning up the house." Different factions have always existed since ancient times. Before his evil deeds were exposed, it would have been difficult for you to detect him. Now he deserves to be killed for committing murder. His crime is not your fault, so don't blame yourself too much."
The words on the scene need to be said beautifully. Songhe Valley has already made an explanation, so we can't let people get off the stage. Shen Shenyi bowed deeply to Ying Hua: "Thank you, Fairy Yueying, for finding out the truth! May I ask my colleague Melander now? No matter where you are, I would like to thank him in person for cleaning up the house."
They are not the police, they are just Jianghu people who deal with Jianghu affairs. Sun Fengbo sought his own death, so the matter can only end like this. As for the aftermath, it will be handled by the Jiuxing Sect and Songhe Valley. What other thoughts do the Jiuxing Sect members have privately? That's another thing.
Some people in the hall have heard of the name Melander. Those who have not heard of it have also found out about it in the past few days. It is said that he is a Feng Shui expert who returned from overseas. He went to Hongbin Industrial Park to see Feng Shui a while ago and received a very hot hand. Live. Many people laughed secretly when they heard about this, thinking that the man was just a charlatan.
A few days ago, I heard that he had killed Sun Fengbo. They were all shocked. It seems that this Melander is really capable. Who is he?
Xiang Yinghua replied: "Mr. Mei was injured and is recovering from his injuries at the moment, but he promised me that in three days, which is the second day of the enthronement ceremony of the Songhe Valley Sect Master, he will come here to pay homage to the mountain. If he says so, If he has the letter, he should come. If he doesn't come, I don't think the Nine Stars Sect should have anything to blame."
Oh, it turns out that Melander was injured. It’s not surprising when you think about it. Sun Fengbo’s death was so tragic. If the person who killed him was unharmed, his cultivation would be too terrifying. The masters of various factions in Songhe Hall would probably Not many people can do it.
"What? Is Brother Rand injured?" Someone suddenly spoke outside Songhe Hall. Following the words, Xiang Fenghua, the eldest son of Xiaoli, walked in accompanied by a Taoist priest in Qingyi with a gourd hanging from his waist. As soon as the Taoist entered the door, he He cupped his fists and said, "Qianbei, the enshrined elder of the Diezhang sect, came to pay homage to the mountain. I have met Master Xiang and all of my colleagues!"
Taoist Qianbei is not very old, less than fifty years old, and he is not the leader of Dieshang. However, he has a high reputation and seniority in the world, and he does not usually have much contact with Songhe Valley. Today he came to pay homage to the mountain. This was quite honorable to Xiang Xiaoli, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Elder Qianbei is here, the plum blossoms in Songhe Valley are shining brightly, please come quickly!"
There are four people with the highest seniority in Songhe Hall, namely Han Zhizi, the visiting head of the Bazhai Sect, Xiong Dawei, the head of the Xiong Family in Mingcuiquan, Yunnan, Xiang Xiaoli, the acting head of the Songhe Valley, and Taoist Qianbei, the elder of the Diezhang Sect. The main seat and the first people on the left and right took their seats. Shen Shenyi asked with some doubts: "Uncle Qianbei, you just called Melander your brother. Could it be that you are friends of the same generation and have been acquaintances for a long time?"
Taoist Qianbei smiled and said, "I just met you not long ago."
Han Zhizi also smiled and explained: "Many juniors in the world don't know this. Elder Qianbei, whose common name is Zhou Hong, is the Taoist priest Zhou Hong from Qingcheng Mountain. He and Meilande went to Hongbin Industrial Park not long ago. If I You guessed it right, Junior Brother Qianbei, that’s how you know each other, right?”
Taoist Qianbei: "Senior brother is right, that's where we met. He was young, chivalrous, courageous, and very capable. He once helped me eliminate Li Dongping, the scum of Diezhang Sect."
He told everyone what Li Dongping had done and what happened in Hongbin Industrial Park that day, and finally comforted Shen Shen: "Master Shen, there is no need to be too ashamed and angry. Scum has always existed in the world since ancient times. Li Dongping also appeared in my family. This kind of traitor should be careful when choosing disciples when teaching the Dharma, and there should be no mercy in cleaning up the family."
The arrival of Qianbei Taoist not only gave Xiang Xiaoli a lot of face, but also gave Jiuxing Sect a good step forward. He revealed the scandal in his own sect. Diezhang Sect also produced scum like Li Dongping. At that time, it happened
It was Melander who helped clean up the house. Everyone sighed and talked, and the atmosphere was no longer as heavy and depressing as before.
The focus of the discussion was on Melander, who had not yet appeared. Xiang Xiaoli asked with some confusion: "Junior Brother Qianbei, do you know the origin of Melander? How can you discuss friendship with his equal?"
Taoist Qianbei replied: "His master once went overseas and was an old friend of my father's. This old man did not want to be famous, so he only accepted a disciple like Melander, and ordered the disciple to complete his master's mission before completing his duties.
You are not allowed to call yourself an elder in the world in the name of master, so as not to embarrass your colleagues. I know some of the inside story, but it’s not easy to talk about other people’s private secrets."
It seems that Qianbei has already met Liu Li and understood the identity of "Melander". What he said is very skillful. Liu Li is indeed an old friend of Taoist Qianbei's father. As for whether he went overseas, it is hard to say. Anyway, Liu Li
The old man claimed that he had been to Europe recently. It was normal not to let the apprentice use the name of master casually, because there is a saying in the world: "Master, young apprentice, grandmaster who has not left home, it is difficult to serve fellow disciples when they meet."
Taoist Qianbei is the youngest among the Jianghu people of his generation. The master of the previous generation was at least a figure from the Republic of China. If he has gone overseas, not many people in the Jianghu community know the situation now. Since
Taoist Qianbei has already said this, so it is inconvenient for everyone to ask further questions.
The most surprising thing was that Xiang Yinghua, if according to Qianbei Taoist, he would have to call Melander his uncle when they meet again, which would feel a bit awkward.
Without further ado, Sun Fengbo's incident has come to an end. Now there are six sect leaders and disciples including Bazhai, Longlou, Woniu, Wangwu, Jiuxing and Yunnan Mingcuiquan Xiong family gathered in Songhe Valley, as well as Dieshang, Xingfa and so on.
Elders from five sects including Xiaosha, Qiangong, and Sanyuan came to pay homage to the mountain. Together with the Xiang family in Songhe Valley, a total of experts from the twelve major sects of Jianghu Fengmen gathered together.
Two days later, a ceremony was held at the Songhe Hall in the valley. Xiang Xiaoli officially succeeded him as the sect leader. Each faction watched the ceremony and congratulated him. He couldn't say too many words of congratulations, and by the way, he had to comfort Xiang Xiaoli and Xiang Yinghua——
People who are lucky to the left have their own celestial signs. They may be trapped somewhere and cannot escape. In the future, there is a possibility that they can turn bad luck into good luck. Both the speaker and the listener know that these are just words for the occasion.
After the ceremony, no one left. They were all waiting to see the young Feng Shui master Melander the next day. Xiang Xiaoli also wanted to stay as a guest and cordially invited all of you to visit Songhe Valley, which is held every 12 years in three days.
The ceremony of "Sacrifice to the Ancestor Earth Spirit Pivot".
Xiang Xiaoli used to be in charge of the internal affairs of the secret law inheritance in Songhe Valley, and did not have much dealings with fellow sects. Now that he unexpectedly takes charge of Songhe Valley, he really needs to take this opportunity to communicate and socialize with fellow sect leaders.
When you ascend the throne and invite your colleagues to watch the ceremony, you often have this intention, and it is not just for fun.
The "ancestral worship to the earth spirit hub" ceremony in Songhe Valley takes place every twelve years. At that time, the "heavenly secret array" here will be opened to circulate the heaven and earth spiritual axis and the vitality of the entire mountain. This array is not a human effort.
What can be controlled is that the various formation points and core formation hubs have been laid out long ago by the ancestors of Songhe Valley.
The Songhe Valley inheritance is famous for Feng Shui formations. The operation of such a large formation is a rare opportunity for disciples to gain enlightenment. Naturally, fellow Fengmen disciples will not miss the opportunity to broaden their horizons. This Tianji formation requires at least two people with "Transfer Spirit"
Experts in the "hub" realm work together to activate it, and it will naturally move after activation.
As for how to activate it, the skill is different. It depends on how the two masters cooperate. They need to have their spiritual consciousness to echo each other and stimulate the center of the formation at the same time. If the skill is insufficient or the understanding is not enough, it cannot be activated.
Xiong Dawei, Han Zhizi and others have participated in this ceremony more than once. They remember that twelve years ago, it was the brothers Xiang Zuohu and Xiang Xiaoli who jointly launched the grand formation. As for this year's time, the news has already been released, and the next generation of masters will be responsible for the formation.
Yinghua activates, and as for the other person in the main formation, he will invite a young master from among the visiting comrades.
Xiang Yinghua must lead the formation, because after Xiang Zuohu disappeared and Xiang Xiaoli took over as the sect leader, she served as the priest-in-charge elder of Songhe Valley. So who will the other person be? Since Xiang Xiaoli didn't take any action
Well, we can't invite seniors like Xiong Dawei and Han Zhizi. As for Duan Peng, the leader of Longlou Sect, Niu Yuepo, the leader of Woniu Sect, they all have this skill, but they are not young masters either.
Xiang Yinghua is still an unmarried girl. Xiang Xiaoli's arrangement will inevitably arouse people's imagination. As long as the sects who have good relations with Songhe Valley are such young masters in the sect, they have brought this kind of talent this time.
There are really not many, there are only five or six people here, they all come from big families, and they can only achieve this by practicing the secret method since they were young.
Xiang Xiaoli naturally had some considerations in making this arrangement, and it was also in good faith. With her eldest brother gone, her niece has been in a state of desolation for the past six months, so she arranged such an opportunity to see if she could find the person she likes. His intention was obvious even though he didn't say it clearly. Xiang Ying
Hua's cultivation is high and her vision is high, but ordinary people are indeed not worthy of her. She might as well create an opportunity and invite as many "talents" as possible who match her age and status. It depends on her own wishes.
There were thirty or forty visitors, and some of them lived in the Xiangjia Village outside the valley mouth. The senior masters with whom they were relatively close lived in the Songhe Valley, where the core disciples of the Xiangjia usually retreated. Xiang Xiaoli also knew that his niece's mood would not be the same.
Great. He had an excuse to go out for more than ten days some time ago. He understood why, so he didn't rush her. In the end, he had no other choice, so he ordered someone to find Feiju Village and call her back.
Xiang Yinghua has a separate small courtyard in the bamboo forest halfway up the east mountain of Songhe Valley, and the courtyard where the leader usually lives is near the small courtyard. Xiang Xiaoli specially divided a large part of the courtyard where he lives and gave it to Yunnan
The six guests living in the Xiong family in Mingcuiquan have an obvious intention, that is, they hope that someone can comfort Xiang Yinghua, talk to her, relax, and increase her goodwill.
The Xiong family and the Xiang family have been friends for generations. They are two famous families in the world. Xiang Zuohu and the Xiong family have a long history. When Xiang Zuohu was born, the elders of the two families made an appointment to get married.
Marrying a girl from the Xiong family. When Xiang Zuohu was young, he had met his future wife and was not dissatisfied. Moreover, this was a means of marriage between two families, and the relationship between men and women was secondary. It was rare to meet someone he was satisfied with.
However, the current situation was turbulent, and both families were affected by the changing environment of the times. The marriage was delayed. Xiang Zuohu's fiancée died unexpectedly, which made both families regretful. For a period of time, Xiang Zuohu devoted himself to practicing secret techniques.
The rest of his energy was spent on running the Xiang family, and he had no intention of marrying again. He did not officially get married until he was middle-aged. He married the daughter of a local official, and the relationship was not very deep, and they later divorced. When Xiang Yinghua was born
, Xiang Zuohu is almost fifty years old.
After Xiang Yinghua came of age, Fairy Yueying became famous in the world. Of course, the Xiong family, who have been friends for generations, could not stop thinking about it. Xiong Jushi, the son of Xiong Dawei, is a talented person who has inherited his family's education. He is also an eye-catching master of the younger generation. He is twenty-eight this year.
Although he and Xiang Yinghua were not childhood sweethearts, they had known each other since childhood.
The Xiong family's family business in Yunnan is doing well. It originally opened a travel agency and hotel, and recently it is developing Huanglong jade. The Xiong family is very experienced in running minerals, and they have sent people there to assist and cooperate. Naturally, the relationship has become closer and closer.
I also hope to be able to get married in person. Xiong Jushi has admired Xiang Yinghua for a long time, so naturally he wishes for it.
Xiong Dawei, the head of the Xiong family, led his two deacons, Xiong Wangzhang, the general manager of Mingquan Travel Agency, Xiong Qianguo, the president of Mingquan Mining, his son Xiong Jushi, his daughter Xiong Luxian, and his female disciple Lu Yueju. As early as half a month ago,
I came to Songhe Valley before.
Many disciples of the Xiang family are secretly guessing that Xiong Jushi is already Xiang Xiaoli's "unofficial appointment" to lead the formation. He and Xiang Yinghua are indeed a good match.
He also broke through the realm of "transferring the spiritual pivot" before, which is quite rare among the younger generation.
It's a pity that this kind of thing cannot be decided by default. After all, we are in modern society. Elders cannot arrange marriages. With Xiang Yinghua's temperament, it is even more impossible to force it. Otherwise, Xiang Zuohu would have arranged it long ago when he was still alive. Where can I find Xiong Jushi like this?
Satisfied son-in-law?
It can't be arranged, but it can always be matched, right? This is what Xiang Xiaoli thinks, and he should try his best to create opportunities for the young couple to get in touch. Xiang Yinghua is now in need of someone to comfort him. If he comes and goes, and looks at each other, he might have feelings for him.
? It's a good idea, but within a few days of the Xiong family's arrival, Xiang Yinghua went out alone, seemingly not interested in his second uncle's arrangements - it's not that she disliked Xiong Jushi, she really wasn't in that mood right now.
…
At noon the next day after Xiang Xiaoli's enthronement ceremony, the young Feng Sect senior "Melander" who the twelve sect masters were curious and looking forward to finally arrived. He didn't come riding a white horse, nor did he come with a leisurely pace.
, when they saw him, the five people waiting at the entrance of Xiangjia Village did not expect it. They looked very surprised and had strange expressions. If Taoist Qianbei and Xiang Yinghua hadn't known him, no one would have thought that he was Melander and thought he was here.
Township cadres who work in the village.
You Fang was riding a worn-out motorcycle with paint peeled off from the Chuyang Township Police Station. The journey was dusty and he made a sharp turn from the roundabout on the mountain road and rushed directly into the entrance of Xiangjia Village.
