A burst of laughter like a silver bell brought Zhong Wen back to reality from his depressed mood.
Looking up, he saw on the top of the mountain more than ten feet away, the little Lolita was sitting on the shoulders of her brother Zhuge Qingqiong, talking and laughing with an old man with white hair and a childlike face, who was full of energy and had a very happy chat.
The faces of many Zhuge Thatched Cottage disciples were all filled with excitement, and their eyes looking at the old man were full of reverence and love.
Could it be...
Zhong Wen's heart moved and he quickly walked forward and said to Xiao Loli and Zhuge Cangqiong: "Brother Zhuge, Xiaodie, who is this...?"
"Young Master Zhong."
Seeing him ask the question, Zhuge Cangqiong quickly replied, "This is Mr. Zhuge Qingjiang, the master of my thatched cottage, who is known as the 'first theological scholar in the world'."
"Zhong Wen Zhong Wen, this is my grandpa!" Little Loli also smiled like a flower, and seemed to get along quite well with Zhuge Qingjiang, the grandpa whom she had just met, "Senior Sister Zhuma has rescued grandpa!"
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhuge, disrespectful!"
Zhong Wen's face showed a look of "Sure enough," he hugged Zhuge Qingjiang, but his eyes wandered around, "Where's Zhuge Ma?"
"Miss Zhuma said she had something important to do, so after sending me down the mountain, she left alone." Zhuge Qingjiang replied with regret, "I don't know when she will be able to repay her for saving her life."
"gone?"
Hearing that Zhuma left alone without even saying hello, Zhong Wen was surprised and felt disappointed.
The girl's beautiful face and exaggerated figure appeared in his mind unconsciously. Zhong Wen was slightly absent-minded and could not help but fall into longing.
What am I thinking?
She is still a child!
After a while, he finally came to his senses, patted his cheek hard, forced himself to calm down, looked at Zhuge Qingjiang and said: "Now that the situation has been decided, I wonder what Mr. Zhuge's plans are?"
"The disciples in the thatched cottage have done a lot of harmful things for me." Zhuge Qingjiang said sternly, "Although there is a reason for everything, it is unforgivable after all. Looking for Yiren Valley and Miss Yin is the first step for us to atone for our sins."
"Mr. Zhuge understands righteousness, and Zhong Wen admires it." Although Zhong Wen felt that the other party's "atonement" was a little painful, for the sake of the little Lolita, he still said politely.
"In addition, the reason why the Caotang disciples brought trouble to the world was all caused by me."
But I heard Zhuge Qingjiang suddenly say, "From now on, I will step down as the hall master and decipher the ancient classics for free for the people of the world. I hope that I can do my little bit for the world to wash away my own sins."
Zhong Wen's heart was shocked and he was in awe. He said the same sentence, but his tone was completely different from before, "I wonder who will take over as the leader of the Caotang? Mr. Canglan or Brother Cangqiong?"
"It's Xiaodie!"
Zhuge Qingjiang replied calmly.
"What!"
Zhong Wen was shocked, shook his head repeatedly and said, "Xiaodie is already a disciple of Piaohua Palace, how can this happen?"
"The identity of the disciple of Piaohua Palace does not conflict with the master of the Thatched Cottage." Zhuge Qingjiang looked at the little Loli dotingly, his eyes as gentle as water, "Nowadays, everyone in the Thatched Cottage is guilty, and no one is more suitable for the Hall than Xiaodie.
A person has been chosen for the position of Lord.”
"I?"
The little Loli looked confused, pointed at her pink nose with her little finger, and said in confusion, "Master?"
"Yes, Xiaodie, how about letting you be the master of Zhuge Thatched Cottage?" Zhuge Qingjiang touched little Loli's head and asked with a smile, "From now on, all the hundreds of disciples in the thatched cottage will have to listen.
If your orders are followed and you tell them to go east, they will never dare to go west."
"this......"
The little Loli couldn't help but show eagerness to give it a try. She glanced at Zhong Wen beside her and wondered whether she should agree or not.
"Mr. Zhuge, let's not talk about whether Xiaodie is suitable for the position of hall leader." Zhong Wen saw her move and said quickly, "She is used to living on Qingfeng Mountain, and she has deep feelings with all her fellow disciples. If she rashly
Let her leave Piaohua Palace and move to Zhuge Thatched Cottage, I'm afraid..."
He seemed to be discussing this with Zhuge Qingjiang, but in fact he was talking to little Lolita.
Sure enough, as soon as she heard that she was leaving Piaohua Palace, the little Loli's face immediately showed a look of reluctance, and she secretly wanted to refuse in her heart.
She is still a child at heart, and becoming the leader of a big force sounds very cool and trendy, but she has to leave her classmates such as Lin Zhiyun and Liu Qiqi, as well as "chess friends" such as Giant Eagle and White Tiger.
That is absolutely impossible.
"Young Master Zhong misunderstood. Fortunately, Xiaodie was favored by Palace Master Lin, so she was able to save her life and thrive."
Zhuge Qingjiang's words once again exceeded Zhong Wen's expectations, "I am not a ungrateful person, so why would I want Xiaodie to leave Piaohua Palace?"
"But the position of the hall master...",
Zhong Wen felt that Monk Zhang Er was confused and his face was full of doubts.
"I have already inquired about the Qingyun Mountains where Piaohua Palace is located. There are four main peaks: Qingyun Mountain, Qingsong Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain." Zhuge Qingjiang stroked his beard and replied with a smile, "Among them, Qingfeng Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain are respectively
It is owned by Piaohua Palace and Qingcheng Sword Sect, and Qingyun Mountain is the secluded residence of Prince Wu. Only on Qingsong Mountain is there a small training sect with less than fifty people stationed. Cang Lan has already taken over from this sect.
We have purchased the land around Qingsong Mountain, and our thatched cottage plans to move there collectively. From now on, you and I will be neighbors."
Zhong Wen stared blankly at the old man's mouth opening and closing. He was so shocked by the sudden news that he was speechless for a moment.
"In this way, Piaohua Palace and Zhuge Thatched Cottage are located in the Qingyun Mountains. With Xiaodie's spiritual cultivation, he can naturally come and go between the two sects freely." Zhuge Qingjiang kept talking, "Managing the affairs of thatched cottage is fundamental.
There is no need to stay away from Piaohua Palace, isn’t it the best of both worlds?”
I thought he was a humble gentleman!
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an old fox!
After all, Zhong Wen was born in two lifetimes and was not a real seventeen-year-old boy. Seeing that Zhuge Qingjiang was determined to pass the position of hall master to little Loli, his mind changed and he instantly guessed the other party's true intention.
The old man obviously knew that the previous actions of the disciples in the thatched cottage were really wicked and had made many enemies for him. He was afraid that he would not be forgiven for a while, so he simply took advantage of the opportunity for his grandfather and grandson to recognize each other and decisively passed on the position of the leader of the hall to him.
Little Loli, thus firmly binding Zhuge Thatched Cottage and Piaohua Palace together.
Today, the Piaohua Palace has four saint-level experts, whose strength is unparalleled in the world, and it has already become the veritable number one holy place in the world.
If someone comes to ask questions and finds out that the master of the Thatched Cottage is actually a disciple of Piaohua Palace, then he can't go back to where he came from with his tail between his legs in disgrace?
As for the so-called deciphering ancient books for the world, it is not considered a punishment.
It should be noted that studying ancient sacred texts is Zhuge Qingjiang’s hobby.
If he didn't really love it, how could he persevere, study hard, and achieve the reputation of "the first theological scholar in the world"?
Don't look at his righteous self-criticism and self-punishment. After doing it for a long time, he earned fame and support in vain without any loss at all. Zhong Wen was dumbfounded and didn't know whether to admire or be angry.
However, this rhetoric was very effective for the little Lolita, making her heart beat with excitement and joy.
"Zhong Wen!"
She looked at Zhong Wen with her big watery eyes, with a hint of pleading on her pink face.
"Hey! It's up to you!"
How could Zhong Wen, who doted on her so much, resist such a look? He quickly sighed, defeated, shook his head helplessly and said, "But such a big thing requires the consent of the palace mistress."
"I'm going to find the master!"
The little Loli's eyes lit up, she hugged Zhong Wen affectionately, and then skipped towards the direction where Lin Zhiyun was.
Deeply aware of Zhuge's cunning old fox, Zhong Wen no longer wanted to talk to him. He just said a few perfunctory words and hurriedly turned around and left.
When I turned around, I happened to see the Daqian Empress Li Yiru who was about to go down the mountain, and the gray-clothed swordsman, Feng.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but your cultivation has reached such a level?"
Feeling the majestic aura in Feng's body, Zhong Wen was startled and blurted out.
"I had some adventures in my lair in Wanjin Tower, and my cultivation level has improved." Feng did not hide anything and answered truthfully.
"Why are you together?"
Zhong Wen nodded and then asked curiously.
"I have been entrusted by Miss Nangong and Xue Fei to protect your majesty's safety." Feng said word for word, "After escorting your majesty back to the imperial city, I will also work with you to find Miss Yin's whereabouts."
"Thank you." Zhong Wen nodded, with a smile on his face.
"By the way, I found an ancient book in Wanjin Tower, but I didn't recognize the words in it." Feng suddenly remembered something, reached into his arms, took out a shabby book and handed it over, "I don't know if it is
Does it work for you?"
"Ancient books?"
When Zhong Wen heard this, he immediately became energetic and did not refuse. He directly reached out and took it with his eyes slightly closed.
Damn it!
It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all!
Looking at a line of small words on the bookshelf panel, Zhong Wen suddenly trembled and fell into ecstasy:
"I found the 'Miscellaneous Studies' book "Sun and Moon Sublimation Sutra" (Volume 1). Do you want to include it? Yes/No."
