Chapter 81 Ji Xia: Who is your master? Pei Luye: My master is the sword fairy Yunluan, Ruan Xiuxiu!

If we say that the largest force in this small and small area of ​​Black Mountain City is nominally the government of the Dazhao system - the Garrison, headed by the seventh-rank garrison Chen Zhao.

Well, in fact, there are other forces that can really make the whole Black Mountain City tremble with just a stomp of their feet. Even the people guarding Chen Zhao cannot ignore his will.

This force,

It is neither the Demon Hunting Department that shared the power of garrison, nor the Military Department that commanded the soldiers.

It's in the Yanwu Street in the inner city.
Yunluan Gym!

It has a history of about sixty years since its establishment and has an extraordinary heritage.

But that's not the scariest thing about it.

In Aquarius State, all famous and orthodox sects will open branches in major cities, select outstanding disciples every year, and admit the best into the mountain sect to become their future backbone.

But as a more powerful 'Taoism-level' force with a fourth-step commander,
Except for a very small number of extremely "demanding" entry-level techniques, which need to be spread all over the world and passed down.

Most of the branches opened up are only a handful in number.

Even so,

It has caused countless people to travel through mountains and rivers.

They also requested to visit and become disciples, hoping to have a chance to get involved with a powerful "Taoism" force.

Even the "Vajra Temple" of the Demon-Subduing Temple is almost everywhere in the world.

There are countless people who strive hard for a chance of promotion.

Not to mention, there is only three or five branches of the "Yunluan Mountain".

Dominate Wutong and southern Shu,
The Yunluan family has two sword masters!

Who doesn’t know about the huge Aquarius State?

Black Mountain City relies on the friendship of the past and the approval of a sword master in the mountain gate.

The branch 'Yunluan Taoist Temple' has never been removed, and has remained here through all the ups and downs.

As a result, countless dignitaries have tried their best to get one of the spots.

But the gym selection is strict.

Only those with good family background, who have practiced martial arts for a short time, are very young and have countless potential talents are selected.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful your background is, how many precious medicines you have, and how much money you offer as bribes, it is impossible to recruit you openly.

The current owner of Yunluan Taoist Temple is called Ning Xiu.

He is a swordsman at the peak of the second step, the free and easy realm, from the 'Demon Locking Forest' lineage of Yunluan Mountain. He is a great cultivator at the peak of the third step, the chief elder of the Demon Locking Forest, and a disciple of 'Cui Chan'.

Now, although he is only thirty years old, he already has the potential to achieve Yuandan.

Even in the orthodox forces,

There is also hope that he can compete for the seat of future elder.

Ever since Yunluan Mountain opened up the Black Mountain branch nearly sixty years ago, the power in this area has always been held by the "Demon Locking Forest" faction.

On this day, in the Yunluan Taoist Temple, there was a mottled corridor filled with the atmosphere of vicissitudes of life and covered with green ivy and ancient pines.

The owner of the museum, Ning Xiu, wearing a white robe with cloud patterns and sword-like eyebrows, sat upright on a stone bench and received a letter from Yunluan Mountain.

It was written by his master, Cui Chan, the elder of the Demon Locking Forest.

It is said that the first thing the new sword master will do when he inherits Yunluan Mountain is to send more people to continue to keep an eye on "Tianyuan".

As long as there is any unusual movement in the increasingly solid 'Bronze Palace', the sect must be informed with the Thousand Mile Jade Talisman and all the news must be reported.

Moreover, according to Cui Chan, one of the true disciples of the sword master of Yunluan Mountain, that is, one of his junior sisters, has already set off for Yunluan to assist him in managing the 'Yunluan Dojo'.

It's called assistance, but if he really came, a disciple of the sword master, and a great innate.
As long as he still wants to stay in Yunluan Mountain, he is destined to give in.

It is said that Ruan Xiuxiu, the 'Yunluan Sword Fairy', once accepted three female disciples, and each disciple was given a teacher's gift when he or she joined the sect.

The eldest disciple was given a sword, which represented the "outstanding sword energy".

The second disciple presented a jade, which represented the "unpolished jade".

There is only the youngest third disciple, who is also the most talented junior sister 'Pei Luye'.

He was only given a piece of broken wood by Ruan Jianxian, who was almost at the peak of his practice and only one step away from reaching the realm of true person. It was nothing special.

That wood was the most common Yunluan wood. Although it had some spiritual energy, other than that, it had no special features at all.

After accepting Pei Luye, Ruan Xiuxiu went into seclusion to meditate. This meditation made the girl grow into a young woman, and almost no one paid attention to her.

Many people thought that Ruan Jianxian did not like this innocent girl, but accepted her reluctantly because of her status as a member of the Pei family.

Even Pei Luye thought that her master disliked her, otherwise he would not have given her a piece of Yunluan wood, which was as good as firewood, as a gift for becoming his disciple.

But after Ruan Xiuxiu became a real person and became famous in Baoping, she deserved the title of "Great Sword Immortal", but she did not pass on her true skills to her eldest and second disciples.

It was only passed on to this little unknown person on the mountain. From then on, Pei Luye became famous in Yunluan.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiu frowned and sighed.

Their new and enterprising sword master,

Different from the old sword master who lives in seclusion nowadays.

He only wanted to take control of "Bao Ping State", then break out of Bao Ping and become the leader of "Da Zhao Jianghu".

When she did this, others did not know the details and just regarded it as the new sword master's aura swallowing the sky.

But in fact, as a disciple of the elder of the Demon Locking Forest, Ning Xiu had heard some fragments of words from his master.

That is, this sword master wanted to dominate the martial arts world and interfere in the court just to do two things.

One is to penetrate into the northwest wilderness and destroy a demonic and transcendent force called "Great Snow Mountain".

The second is to overturn the verdict of a man who fell into the Black Mountain Abyss, and to liquidate all the powerful families and sects from outside the state who had coveted and taken advantage of his misfortune.

I heard that there are many fourth-step masters in those big clans and forces. The new sword master is very young. Although Yunluan Mountain has two fourth-step masters, their foundation is still shallow, which caught Ning Xiu's eyes.
Isn't this just nonsense? Taking advantage of the entire mountain gate to act willfully!

But the honor and disgrace of a family all depend on one person, and success or failure all depends on him.

He is a second-step expatriate deacon, and although it may seem glamorous, in reality, he is just so-so. How can he comment on such things?

After hearing the above sentence, you can only do it. There is no other way.

For a moment, I felt depressed.

at the same time,

There was a burst of noise coming from outside.

Ning Xiu frowned for a moment, collected his thoughts, and was about to stand up:
"What's going on in the museum?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Vajra Great Innate named Wang Xun walked in and reported to the master of the Taoist temple:
"Master, didn't you recruit ten disciples for the previous 'Sword Hunting Trial'?"

"The tenth place at the bottom was called 'Ji Han'. He barely qualified for the spot, but he disappeared without a reason afterwards, so he was disqualified and replaced by 'Chen Qingping', the daughter of the garrison who failed the exam at that time."

"But now it's been more than half a month, and even the secrets of the gym have been passed down. As a result, Ji Han suddenly appeared and wanted to join the sect with the qualification of the "Sword Hunting Test" at that time."

"That's why there was some commotion."

Hearing the words 'tenth place', 'garrison', and 'Chen Qingping', Ning Xiu frowned and thought, remembering that there seemed to be such a thing.

However, the Yunluan Taoist Temple has to recruit new blood every year. If they fail to make a name for themselves within three years, they will be noticed by the Taoist sect behind them and accepted into the sect.

In the end, the future is just like that.

In the past few years since he took over the position of the headmaster, few people have been able to advance from the martial arts school to the mountain gate.

Moreover, even if he went, he would have to spend a few months in the 'Yunluanyuan' to temper his character and dampen his rage before he could learn the Dharma.

Even if most people become disciples of the Taoist orthodoxy, they will only achieve great innate achievements in the future. Very few people can stand out and enter the 'third step'.

In the eyes of Ning Xiu, the current chief of the Demon Locking Forest, 90% of the disciples of Lianyunluan Mountain are nothing special.

What's more, it's just a mere admission quota for a district under his jurisdiction?
If I were first, that would be fine.

Being the last one, he also missed the deadline. No matter what happened or what happened, this is the fate.

"Since it's delayed, it means that I have no connection with it, which means I will be expelled. Do you think I have to come in person?"

"And wasn't it you who was instigating this substitution earlier?"

Ning Xiu glanced at Wang Xun. This powerful warrior had frequent dealings with the garrison in the city, but under his command, he was law-abiding and well-behaved.

So he turned a blind eye to some small actions.

After all, his future lies in Yunluan Mountain, the entire Aquarius State, and even Northwest Dazhao, where he wants to discuss martial arts with all the heroes.

Coming to this remote little town for training is just a tradition of the Demon Locking Forest. After all, this branch was opened up and managed by his master Cui Chan decades ago.

When he realizes the 'return of the dragon and the tiger to their true nature' and knows how to condense the elixir, he will resign and leave, so why bother about these trivial matters?
"This, was originally like this, but Master Master..." Wang Xun's face turned red, and he didn't seem to expect an accident.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said:
"I don't know why,"

"Mingzhu, the third-generation daughter of the Xie family in the prefectural city, and Xie Wutong, a patrol officer of the Black Mountain Demon Hunting Division, has come here in person."

"Moreover, they used the name of the Demon Hunting Division to say that the disciples of my Yunluan Dojo relied on their martial arts to wantonly kill others, and pointed the finger at 'Chen Qingping', saying that she had taken away the qualification of the last disciple." Ning Xiu's eyes showed a trace of coldness when he heard this:
"Don't you know whether you did it or not?"

"Xie Wutong"

He had a headache.

Some things have to be brought to the table and talked about.
If it was the third step, it would be fine.

But the Xie family is the most special one in Heishan and Wutong Mansion.

At least, that's what it seems to someone on Yunluan Mountain.

But even so, you are a youngster of the Xie family, not yet at the level of the innate realm. What can she do to control you?
Why don't you just kick them out directly, give them each fifty lashes, and let them deal with it themselves? Don't occupy the land of Yunluan Taoist Temple, and that'll be it!
Seeing Ning Xiu's surprised and puzzled look.

Wang Xun's face was bitter:

"Master."

"Anyway, you should go and have a look."

"If it were just that, I wouldn't bother you, but someone from the mountain is here to take care of this matter!"

"I can't handle the rest!"

On the mountain?

Which mountain?

Ning Xiu was stunned.

Can be immediately.
He then thought of the 'Junior Sister' he had just met.

Someone is coming from the mountain.

Coming
Could it be Ruan Jianxian's direct disciple, Pei Luye? !
In an instant, Ning Xiu's face turned wonderful and the situation changed suddenly.

Half an hour ago.

Looking at the gate of Yunluan Dojo in front of me.

Xie Wutong was almost depressed.

The girl was originally in her own residence, happily eating fruits while thinking about her family's gossip and secrets from decades ago.

But because of a letter, he was led into a trap by Ji Xia.

She changed into a demon-hunting patrol uniform and followed Ji Xia all the way to Yanwu Street, in front of the Yunluan Dojo.

At the same time, the complexion is a little dark:

"I stroke it."

"You said that your brother Ji Han originally obtained the qualification to join the Yunluan Dojo in the 'Sword Hunting Exam', but it was taken away by Chen Qingping, the third-generation daughter of the garrison."

"At the same time, they sent people to ambush and kill him in Black Mountain. If it wasn't for chance, he would have lost his life. So, you came back to the city today just to seek justice?"

Ji Xia nodded.

Xie Wutong was stunned:
"No, do you know who your brother is looking for trouble with?"

"You are the granddaughter guarding the Black Mountain. You are just an officer. He is not even an officer. Even if you are right, with your fists and status, won't you be beaten out with sticks when you enter?"

"You might as well ask the elder Tan Tai behind you to come forward and help you find a place. You have spiritual level qualifications, but you are not a living great innate master! Who can take you as a person?"

"It's just one spot. Yunluan Gym is not afraid of the garrison, but it won't fight to the death with the garrison just because of this. Let me help you and clear the mess, right?"

Ji Xia smiled:
"You are right."

"But why did the garrison do something wrong, and the Yunluan Dojo didn't care? Why did they just let others swallow their anger and suffer this loss in silence?"

“That doesn’t make sense.”

"Don't worry, when the letter arrives on a chosen day, if I meet Mr. Xie Qiaoxuan and Miss Xie, you will understand why I have such confidence."

"Today, I just want you to stand up for me, so that some people in the tutelary fort and the gym will be more cautious and not just take my brother, so that they can vent their anger."

Xie Wutong choked: "That's the truth, but..."

"I'm not afraid, that's all."

"How can you not be afraid when you are just a small errand boy?"

Although she is the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, her father is the third step forward, and her ancestor is also the third step forward.

But in Black Mountain, she represents the face of the Xie family after all. Originally, considering Ji Xia's spiritual qualifications and trustworthiness, she wanted to help him. After all, what kind of trouble could a constable encounter?
But she really didn't expect it!

This trouble actually involves both the 'Guardian Fort' and the 'Yunluan Dojo' at the same time.

The place is quite big.

She may not be able to handle it!
For a moment, Xie Wutong was in tears.

Ji Xia and Xie Wutong were standing at the door of the gym. While they were talking, a girl with a sword on her back happened to stop and looked up at the plaque of the gym.

She had bright eyes and white teeth, her eyebrows slightly raised, she stood on tiptoe, pressed her left palm between her eyebrows, and looked into the hall with her bright eyes, curiosity revealed in her eyes.

"Is this the Black Mountain Castle that Master has been obsessed with? It doesn't look like anything special."

"I feel like the plaque is not impressive enough, and why are there people causing trouble inside? How disgraceful."

The girl seemed to want to see clearly what was causing the noise.

But it is just this brief moment of pause.

Just in time, she heard the discussion between Ji Xia and Xie Wutong on the side.

When she heard words like "spiritual qualification", "unfair", and "unreasonable" coming out of Ji Xia's mouth.

He couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm", a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

At that moment, he looked Ji Xia up and down.

When she sensed the faint aura around him and saw his extremely young and handsome appearance, she immediately praised him highly:

"That is nice!"

"Wrong is wrong. There is no such thing as 'wrong is right' in the world. He is not afraid of power. He is a good material!"

Yunluan Mountain is full of people who slay demons and monsters. This is a righteous way. If it is really as these two people said,
This must be corrected, otherwise what will happen?
Her words were blunt, causing Ji Xia and Xie Wutong to frown at the same time:

"Where's the sound?"

They both glanced to the side at the same time, only to realize belatedly that a girl in a white dress had appeared beside them without them noticing.

On her waist, there is a "wooden flute" carved from cloud phoenix wood.

She is not wearing any makeup, and looks simple.

But she was as refreshing as a mountain elf, as if she was connected to the heaven and earth. Without using the naked eye, one could not even detect her existence.

Master!

Not a great innateness.

How can this be achieved?

"The girl is"

Ji Xia narrowed her eyes.

After being surprised, he inexplicably sensed a familiar aura from the girl in front of him, so he reached out to test it.

"Pei Luye!" The girl introduced herself with a smile.

At the same time, he looked at Ji Xia curiously:

"Why don't you go in?"

Pei Luye looked at Ji Xia and found her pleasing to the eye. So he thought for a moment and patted his chest:
"How about this, I'll go in with you guys, if..."

"Yunluan Dojo, just as you said, is a den of filth and dirt."

Her little face gradually became serious:

"In the name of my master, I will definitely seek justice for you. Even a tutelary fort will be useless!"

Who is your master? Why is he so prestigious?

Originally, he just wanted to borrow the power of his maternal family, but after hearing this, he suddenly felt confused, so he asked:
"Who is the senior behind the girl?"

Facing Ji Xia's inquiring gaze.

The girl raised her head slightly, and the sunshine shone on her body. She was full of vigor and vitality, her eyebrows were proud, and she put her hands on her waist and said:

"Master, Yunluan Sword Immortal, Ruan Xiuxiu!"

Who?
Hearing this sudden name.

季夏
Immediately confused.
