The head of the Xie family was a little helpless.
But most of them are still accustomed to it.
When he was studying in the academy, he already knew very well what kind of temper the old man in front of him was. Even the former dean would dare to scold him when he got anxious. Now that he has become the dean, there is no one like him anymore in the world.
Whoever can control him can naturally say whatever he wants and scold whomever he wants to scold.
The dean rubbed his eyebrows. He had long known that he could not change the mind of the old guy in front of him today. He was silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "I only have one request, let that girl do things according to her own ideas. What do you want to say?"
If you can't promise me at all, then I will demolish half of your ancestral temple today no matter what."
The head of the Xie family smiled and nodded and said, "Old man, you have to think clearly. Before she became your disciple, her last name had been Xie for decades, and it is obvious that she will continue to have the last name."
The dean sneered and said, "At this moment, I'm really worried that you old guy has completely lost interest in this kind of thing."
The head of the Xie family did not answer this question, but instead asked, "Next round?"
The dean snorted coldly, waved his hand and refused, "Do you really think I came all the way from the capital of God just to find you?"
As he went south, he naturally had other things to do. That was a very important thing, and he had already done some of it. When he came here, it could be said that he was just passing by.
"I left from Jianqi Mountain, then wandered around in the south, and finally came here. It's not very reasonable to say that you, an old man, came here specially."
The head of the Xie family didn't feel that the dean was lying to him.
The dean didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, so he turned around and left.
When he entered the Xie family, he opened the middle gate. Now that he was leaving, he would naturally open the middle gate again.
"Remember to look good, otherwise the eyes outside will not know what they will see and think about."
The head of the Xie family spoke, his voice full of helplessness.
The dean snorted coldly and did not answer.
…
…
Chongming Sect is not too far from Yuyu County, but it is only a few hundred miles away. For a monk, one day is enough.
Yu Xiyi and Chen Chao killed many monks from the Chongming Sect, and now they have to come to ask for guilt. If this were placed elsewhere, if Chen Chao's cultivation level was high enough, his official position was big enough, and the Chongming Sect was weak enough, then everything would be reasonable, but
It is obvious that Chongming Sect is not the small sect as imagined, and Chen Chao is not a big monk. Naturally, Daliang Law has no effect on Chongming Sect.
Although Yu Xiyi believed that Chen Chao had already prepared for him, he would feel a little unsure as he walked all the way towards the Chongming Sect. But with his temperament, since he had already agreed to Chen Chao, he was determined to have no possibility of going back on his words.
In the morning light, the two of them moved forward at a very slow speed. In less than half an hour, they could see the Chongming Sect's mountain pavilion in the distance.
Until this moment, Yu Xiyi truly believed that the young man in front of him was serious about doing such a thing.
Not alone, but just two young people trying to break into a Taoist sect?
In addition, there is a Worry-forgetting monk sitting on this mountain?
Yu Xiyi was a little curious as to where this young man's confidence came from.
As he was about to go up the mountain, Chen Chao looked at Yu Xiyi, who was hesitant to speak, and asked with a smile, "Do you regret it? It's not too late to regret it now. You are a sword cultivator. Are you very good at escaping with a sword?"
?Besides, I'm here, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to leave."
Although he knew that most of these words were jokes, Yu Xiyi still frowned and was a little dissatisfied.
Chen Chao said, "Although Master Tie Yun may not have killed us without hesitation as soon as we started climbing, but if he really wants to do this, then even if I have so many backup plans, I can still use it."
Wouldn’t it be a pity not to come out?”
Yu Xiyi said, "What's the point of saying these words now?"
Chen Chao said seriously, "Didn't I tell you in advance so that you wouldn't have to wait until you die to blame me down below?"
"I'm really tired of you. I have to chase you down there and chop you eighteen times every day."
Yu Xiyi was naturally tit for tat.
Chen Chao stopped talking nonsense and officially climbed the mountain.
Probably no one in the Chongming Sect would have thought that Chen Chao would have the guts to come to the Chongming Sect in person, so they did not encounter any obstacles on the way up the mountain. Chen Chao walked very slowly until they were almost in front of the mountain gate.
I met two Taoists guarding the mountain gate.
"Stop!"
They were two Taoists wearing ordinary blue Taoist robes, looking at Chen Chao and Yu Xiyi in front of them with some caution.
Chongming Sect is the largest sect in Cangzhou. Naturally, no one dares to go to Chongming Sect to act wild, so before, they would not care if they saw outsiders at the mountain gate. But recently, some bad news came from the mountain, which made them also
They will be a little nervous and vigilant, otherwise they would not do this.
"who are you?"
The two Taoists looked at the two young men and looked at them with some suspicion. A young man in black clothes had a knife hanging on his waist, and the other young man in green clothes. Although he didn't bring anything, it looked like the young man had something on him.
A special aura comes out, like a sharp sword?
Is he a swordsman?
The two Taoists were of low level and could not see through Yu Xiyi at all, but they still looked at Yu Xiyi seriously at this moment, and Chen Chao was naturally ignored by them.
Chen Chao didn't care either.
Yu Xiyi glanced at Chen Chao, and then took the initiative to say, "My master is a good friend of Master Tie Yun. I am traveling here this time, so I was specially asked to visit Master Tie Yun."
Yu Xiyi knew that Master Tie Yun was currently in retreat, so he casually said this to test whether Master Tie Yun was really in retreat.
"The sect master is in retreat, I'm afraid he won't be able to see you."
One Taoist breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Yu Xiyi has some
Regretfully said, "What an unfortunate coincidence. I just don't know when the real person will be released from seclusion. This time, my master asked me to make sure to see him. I don't know if I will have this opportunity."
The man was about to speak when he suddenly frowned.
Because of the two people who came together in front of him, Yu Xiyi was the only one left at the moment. He was about to subconsciously search around when a scabbard hit his neck. His vision went dark and he fainted immediately.
.
So did another Taoist.
Both of them fell on the mountain road.
Chen Chao said, "Let's go."
Yu Xiyi nodded. According to the realm of these two Taoists, if he drew his sword, he would naturally kill them with one sword. But he is not a murderous person. These Taoists are just ordinary minions in the mountains. I'm afraid they are not.
If you have never done any evil, why should you kill?
The two of them walked up the mountain road, but after walking a short distance, Chen Chao led Yu Xiyi towards the depths of the dense forest. In a forest, the two of them saw a very secret path.
, overgrown with weeds, probably no one has taken care of it for many years.
Does this also mean that not many people know about this trail?
Probably something like this.
Yu Xiyi sighed in a low voice, "You have indeed been here before."
He had been thinking about this question before, but now he finally had a definite answer.
Yes, Chen Chao must have been here before, and now he is extremely sure.
Chen Chao looked at Yu Xiyi and said nothing. He just pushed aside the grass and walked towards the mountain.
Yu Xiyi walked behind him and frowned, "Even now, do you still think I can't know this?"
Chen Chao said without turning his head, "Stop talking, I will tell you when the time is right."
"Are you an abandoned disciple of the Chongming Sect? Are you going up the mountain this time to take back your position as the sect leader?" Yu Xiyi was reluctant and spoke slowly, with a very clear meaning of curiosity.
Chen Chao was a little speechless, but he quickly asked, "Where did you read these stories?"
Yu Xiyi snorted coldly, "Don't you scholars from the Liang Dynasty all like to write such stories? When I have nothing to do, I will naturally take a look."
Chen Chao remained silent. There were indeed many scholars in the Liang Dynasty who liked to write such stories.
"You thought wrong."
Chen Chao shook his head and finally said this sentence.
Yu Xiyi snorted and said, "Then what is the truth and you won't tell me?"
Chen Chao repeated, "I will tell you when the time is right."
After saying this, the two of them walked up the mountain along this little-known path. Soon they saw a pavilion standing in the distance, and there were many Taoist priests there.
Chen Chao glanced at it and continued walking forward. The path they were taking now was extremely secretive. Chen Chao was very sure that no one in the entire Chongming Sect would know about it.
Even no one in the entire Chongming Sect knew about it
of a road.
So the two of them went up the mountain without any obstruction, and soon left the dense forest and came to a high platform.
The high platform stands on the top of the mountain. It is very wide. The ground is engraved with countless stars. The patterns are weird and it looks very special.
It turned out that they had reached the top of the mountain without knowing it.
Seeing the high platform engraved with countless stars, Yu Xiyi was silent for a moment and then said, "This is the star observatory. It is said that Master Tie Yun practices hard here every day because the Chongming Sect's practice is related to the stars.
But why isn’t he here today?”
It is said that Master Tieyun is practicing in seclusion, but since this observatory is the best place to practice, why is he not here?
After Yu Xiyi sighed, he sighed again, "The road you know can lead directly to places like this. Doesn't it mean that if someone knows this road and wants to do something, Chongming Mountain will not have any defenses?"
"
Although Yu Xiyi didn't care at all about the destruction of Chongming Mountain, he still had to express his feelings.
Chen Chao said, "Fortunately, he is not practicing here, otherwise we would have died here."
Yu Xiyi had been staring at Chen Chao when he was talking, and found that he didn't look worried at all when he spoke, so he said angrily, "You think I'm easy to deceive?"
Chen Chao hummed.
Yu Xiyi was furious.
Chen Chao ignored him and walked towards the front, which was another hidden path.
Yu Xiyi had nothing to say and just followed in.
Not long after, he was surprised to find that he had walked higher. You must know that the observatory is already the highest point of Chongming Mountain. If you go further, there is a higher place. What does this mean?
Woolen cloth?
This must be the most important place for Chongming Sect.
Yu Xiyi said again, "You must be an abandoned disciple of Chongming Sect, otherwise how would you know this place?!"
Chen Chao only said one sentence, leaving Yu Xiyi speechless, "If I am an abandoned disciple of the Chongming Sect, how could they not recognize me?"
Yes, neither the young Taoists nor those purple-robed Taoists said they knew Chen Chao. If Chen Chao had really practiced in Chongming Sect, then it was absolutely impossible for them not to know Chen Chao.
Yu Xiyi frowned slightly and found that he could not refute Chen Chao's words.
"I'll take you to a good place. If you're lucky, we'll probably find a lot of good things."
Chen Chao smiled and spoke, then walked forward and came to a stone wall.
Yu Xiyi followed him all the way here and saw this smooth stone wall.
Then Chen Chao recalled it for a long time before pressing the stone wall, and then a keyhole appeared.
