Ever since the Xuantian Sect suffered a loss under Cang Yue's hands that day, the number of times it caused trouble for Huashan has become less and less. After a few days, it can almost be said that the Xuantian Sect's power in Huashan has disappeared.
It’s natural to regard this as Cang Yue’s contribution. Maybe it was Miss Cang Yue who showed off her power and frightened Xuantian Sect so much that they fled back to the North in despair. However, even though everyone was laughing and joking on the surface,
Yes, but a few people secretly found out the more reliable truth from Huashan disciples.
"I heard that a convoy carrying gifts for the imperial court is passing through Huashan." The Huashan disciple said.
The few people looked at each other, but there was no surprise. After all, they had learned the news from Beiming early in the morning. Qiyun asked: "Every few years, ministers from other vassals come to offer gifts to the imperial court. This is not unusual.
Why can’t Xuantian Church avoid it?”
The Huashan disciple said mysteriously: "I heard that there are a few bold guys who plan to steal these gifts. The Xuantian Sect is worried that if they don't leave now, they will easily become scapegoats."
Cang Yue couldn't help but laugh. This matter was quite interesting. The Xuantian Sect was full of bad reputation. If the court couldn't catch anyone by then, they might really put the blame on them. Although from a practical point of view,
For them, this kind of thing is too much debt to bear.
But obviously the Xuantian Sect didn't think so, so they evacuated in advance before the convoy arrived, which was an advantage to Qiyun and the others. Although they didn't make any big contribution, their reputation for repelling the Xuantian Sect was ruined by Huashan.
A group of people gave it to them very generously.
After seeing off the Huashan disciple, Bei Ming said with a half-smile, "These guys from the Five Mountains Sect have made good calculations. They took advantage of it and dumped all the trouble on us."
Shangyang showed a puzzled expression, and Qiyun explained: "Although the Xuantian Sect is at odds with Huashan this time, it has no intention of starting a war. The two sides have only tried to stop it. Moreover, the Five Mountains are currently fighting among themselves, and they do not have the ability to fight against the devil.
Conditions, so they want to give us their reputation so that the Wudang and Xiaoyao factions can charge into battle for them."
"This is too ridiculous," Shangyang said angrily: "Is it possible that the Xuantian Sect are all blind, and they can't see such an obvious disaster?"
"So what if you can see it, so what if you can't see it. People in the world can only live with the same face." Beiming laughed mockingly: "Even if they knew it was the trick of the Huashan Sect, the Xuantian Sect would still treat our two sects as
The number one enemy, because the reputation falls on us, as long as everyone in the world feels that we slapped them in the face, that's it."
"Shameless." Shangyang cursed with a dark face.
Qiyun looked at Beiming: "Compared with this matter, Pindao is more curious that besides fellow Taoist Beiming, is there anyone else who has the same idea?"
"Don't worry, it's not true," Bei Ming said with a firm tone, "I released this information intentionally."
"Why...why?" Shangyang was puzzled.
Bei Ming shrugged and said, "I did this to prevent some irrelevant people from interfering in the matter. You see, wasn't the Xuantian Sect scared away because of this?"
"Having said that," Shangyang frowned: "But didn't you warn the court in advance? What if they strengthen their defenses?"
Bei Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry, we must have grabbed the things before the court reacts."
"Rob?"
Beiming's words made the expressions of the three people in the room change slightly, and Shangyang stood up suddenly: "You really want to harm us!"
Risking curiosity to see what the tributes looked like and directly stealing gifts from foreign vassals were two completely different things.
If it's the former, given the current chaos in the court, the most they can do is curse a few words and then hold their noses and admit it. Anyway, they have nothing to lose.
But if it is the latter, whether it is to demonstrate the majesty of the imperial court or to prevent foreign vassals from looking down upon their military force, the imperial court must respond.
Bei Ming reassured: "Don't worry, listen to me first. I will definitely take away the things, but the court may not notice. We can use a trick to hide it. Anyway, people enshrine stones, and there are so many stones in the world."
, there is always something similar that can be substituted.”
Qiyun's eyes were deep, and he looked at Bei Ming and said: "I don't understand why my fellow Taoist insisted on taking that weird sky stone away. Could it be because of a few sentences in the ancient book?"
As he spoke, Qiyun glanced at Cang Yue, who was silent for a long time, and his eyes became more profound: "A few days ago, Miss Cang Yue talked about divination, and fellow Taoists seemed not to believe it, but the Taoist teachings thousands of years ago
What is the difference between the records and the current divination and hexagrams today?"
"There are still some differences," Bei Ming said with a raised eyebrow: "At least the book didn't say that I would die young."
After saying that, Beiming laughed and left the house, presumably to find a replacement stone. It seemed that he had made up his mind and the three of them could not persuade him to come back.
Qiyun just shook his head and stood up to leave. Shangyang was a little undecided and looked at him: "Senior brother, what should we do?"
Shangyang felt a little tangled in his heart. From a rational point of view, Beiming was asking for trouble. They should stay away to avoid getting into trouble. However, walking in the world is about one word of justice. If they leave at this moment, they will inevitably seek to gain and avoid.
Suspicion of harm.
Moreover, Shangyang glanced at Cang Yue secretly. He was still undecided. If he was asked to leave at this time, he might not be able to move.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's just watch it." Qi Yun said lightly, and then left the room.
Now only Shangyang and Cangyue were left, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Shangyang wanted to find something to talk about. Looking at Cang Yue who was lost in thought, he coughed and said, "Miss Cang Yue seems to be a little short of words today."
Cang Yue raised her head when she heard this, wrinkled her nose and said, "You mean I usually talk a lot of nonsense?"
Shangyang shook his head quickly: "Of course not, it's just...does the girl have something on her mind?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cang Yue rolled her eyes: "Really, if you know that the girl's family is worried and you still ask, no wonder you have to bring a senior brother with you when you go down the mountain to practice."
Shangyang lowered his head in embarrassment, and Cang Yue smiled: "I'm just kidding, Brother Shangyang is easier to get along with than Brother Qiyun."
Hearing this, Shangyang's face brightened visibly, and Cang Yue curled her eyes with a heavy gaze: "It's just that I'm really worried and confused now... When I'm in a bad mood
My speech may be a bit harsh, so don’t argue with me, Brother Shangyang.”
"How could it be," Shangyang said immediately: "If the girl has any difficulties, you can tell me... Is the girl worried that Beiming's move will easily lead to the court's pursuit?"
Cang Yue shook her head gently. She held her chin in her hands and put her head on the table. She said in a faint tone: "Do you still remember the prophecy I said before?"
Shangyang nodded: "It turns out that the girl is worried about this matter. Indeed, the Miao people's method of divination is far from that of the Central Plains Taoism. It sounds to me like it's completely unclear. I'm afraid only my senior brother can get the details."
"It's normal that you don't understand, because I just made random nonsense." Cang Yue's natural words made Shangyang stunned.
Cang Yue chuckled and said: "Actually, I don't know any prophecies at all. I'm in a similar situation to Brother Beiming. Those weird prophecies I told you are actually all from my time in the Lingyue Clan.
It’s from ancient books.”
"I see..." Shangyang nodded as if understanding, and then said: "Since the prophecy is false, what are you still worried about?"
"Then, what if I tell you that everything we have experienced so far is exactly the same as the predictions in ancient books?"
Cang Yue raised her face, but her bright smile was full of fear and helplessness. Her tone was light and airy, as if she was in the boundless void.
