    Chapter 48 Chapter 48 The meeting begins

    As soon as Ji Hantong and Shen Lanchuan landed in Taixuan Dao Sect, a deacon came up to invite them to Wanren Peak.

    The door of the palace was ajar, and there were faint lights flickering inside.Shen Lanchuan raised his hand and gently knocked on the door knocker.

    “Come in.” Xin Xuezhen’s voice came from inside.

    Shen Lanchuan opened the door.Ji Hantong followed him into the hall and was stunned.

    Xin Xuezhen sat alone in front of a short table in the center of the hall.

    There were several plates of side dishes and several bottles of wine on the low table.The sect leader, who was always well-dressed and calm-mannered on weekdays, was only wearing ordinary clothes at the moment, his hair was slightly messy, and he was holding a wine cup in his hand, with the wine in the cup swaying slightly.

    Seeing the two people coming in, Xin Xuezhen raised his head and smiled.

    “Senior Brother Mingshu, Senior Brother Yuheng,” Xin Xuezhen raised the wine cup in his hand and shook it slightly, “You’re here just in time, want to have a drink with me?”

    Shen Lanchuan didn’t say anything. He walked to the short table and sat down opposite Xin Xuezhen.Ji Hantong also followed and sat down beside him.

    Xin Xuezhen picked up the wine jug, filled one for Shen Lanchuan first, and then filled one for himself.When it was Ji Hantong’s turn, he paused and suddenly laughed.

    “Look at me,” Xin Xuezhen shook his head and put down the wine bottle, “Senior Brother Yuheng poured a glass, I almost forgot.”

    Xin Xuezhen said and raised his hand to wave. The cabinet in the corner of the hall opened silently, and a jade bottle flew into his hand.

    “This is the new spiritual juice obtained last year,” Xin Xuezhen pushed the jade bottle in front of Ji Hantong, “Senior Brother Yuheng, drink this.”

    Ji Hantong took the jade bottle and said softly “Hmm”.

    He watched Xin Xuezhen raise the wine cup, touch it lightly with Shen Lanchuan, and then raise his head to drink.

    The wine slid down the corner of his lips, Xin Xuezhen wiped it away and filled it up for himself.

    There was silence in the hall for a moment.There was only the faint sound of wind and snow outside the window and the subtle sound of water as Xin Xuezhen poured wine.

    Ji Hantong held the jade bottle but did not drink.He looked at Xin Xuezhen quietly, watching him pour wine into his mouth one after another.

    I want to say something, but I don’t know where to start.

    It was Shen Lanchuan who spoke first.

    “Junior Brother Xin,” Shen Lanchuan said in a complicated voice, “I have worked hard for you these years.”

    Xin Xuezhen’s hand holding the wine cup paused slightly, and he raised his head and looked at Shen Lanchuan.

    “Brother Mingshu, I knew you were going to say something like this,” Xin Xuezhen shook his head, “It’s not necessary, it’s really not necessary.”

    Shen Lanchuan said nothing.

    Xin Xuezhen’s eyes fell on Shen Lanchuan’s face.The face was still cold, but the eyes that had always been cold were filled with guilt at the moment.

    “Senior Brother Mingshu,” Xin Xuezhen suddenly smiled, with a trace of helplessness in his smile, “Do you think that this position of sect leader should have been yours? Did I take on this hard work for you? Did I suffer this for you all these years?”

    Shen Lanchuan was silent for a moment.

    “Yes.”

    Shen Lanchuan was originally Daoxuan’s direct disciple, and he was also the person with the highest cultivation level among this generation.If he hadn’t refused back then, Daoxuan Zhenren, the leader of the clan, would have planned to pass it on to him.

    Xin Xuezhen was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

    The laughter was not loud, but it made my shoulders shake.He shook his head with a smile, wiped his face and poured himself a glass of wine.

    “Senior Brother Mingshu, Senior Brother Mingshu,” Xin Xuezhen held up the wine cup and looked at the amber liquid in the cup, his voice as soft as a sigh, “I volunteer.”

    He raised his head and looked at Shen Lanchuan.

    “I volunteered.”

    Xin Xuezhen said word for word.

    “Uncle Daoxuan is indeed very kind to you two. I’m afraid this is his only selfish intention for so many years. After you both expressed your unwillingness to accept the position of sect leader, you came to me again.”

    “Master uncle is very powerful. He actually broke through the shackles and told me all the truth, and then asked me if I wanted to go. But I still chose to go to the Holy Realm.”

    “Since I became a disciple of my master Qinghe Zhenren, I have made progress in my cultivation. However, with you two in front of me, our other disciples are inevitably overshadowed. Sometimes even I don’t know what I want to do and I am very confused. At that time, I just thought that it would be good to live like this in a hazy and ordinary way.”

    “Later I started to help Uncle Daoxuan handle the general affairs of Taixuan Dao Sect, and I gradually fell in love with this feeling.” Xin Xuezhen’s voice was very candid, “I like to manage people, I like to manage things, I like to watch those messy things being sorted out little by little under my hands, and I like the feeling of being in control of the overall situation.”

    “So when my uncle asked me if I wanted to take it, I nodded without saying a word. So what if I had to die in the end? At least I had a happy life before I died.” Xin Xuezhen laughed, raised his head and drank the wine.

    “These years are really tiring. The big and small things, the bad things, the bad things, one after another, are overwhelming, especially the two of you who cause me some trouble from time to time.”

    “But every time I think about it, I think of the people I have resettled, the disputes I have calmed, and the people who survived because I meddle a little more.”

    Xin Xuezhen lowered his head and looked at the empty cup in his hand, “Then I felt that I wasn’t that tired anymore. At least under my governance, the people in the Taixuan Dao Sect can live and work in peace and contentment, and what I do is worthy of my true intention. This is enough.”

    There was silence in the hall. Ji Hantong held the jade bottle and tightened his fingertips slightly.

    Shen Lanchuan was silent for a long time, then he raised the wine cup and touched Xin Xuezhen lightly.

    “Junior Brother Xin.”

    Xin Xuezhen raised his head.

    “For more than four hundred years,” Shen Lanchuan’s voice was low, but every word was clear, “Thank you very much.”

    Xin Xuezhen was stunned for a moment and then smiled, “Brother Mingshu, when did you become so pretentious?”

    Shen Lanchuan didn’t answer. He raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

    “Junior Brother Xin,” Ji Hantong looked at him seriously, “We will not let you die. Senior brother and I will definitely find a solution to the foul smell in the Taixuan Dao Sect’s secret realm.”

    Xin Xuezhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: “Actually… we don’t need to worry too much?”

    “Huh?” Ji Hantong tilted his head, “What do you mean?”

    “The secret realm under the jurisdiction of Taixuan Dao Sect is called Yunze,” Xin Xuezhen explained. “When Senior Uncle Daoxuan entered, he suddenly told me that there was no need for me to worry. He would take on the responsibility of Senior Brother Shen as well.”

    “Later, I tried it with the holy object in my hand, and the Yunze Secret Realm couldn’t be opened at all. I’ve been observing it for many years, and the filthy smell inside has not escaped. I don’t know what the uncle did.”

    Shen Lanchuan and Ji Hantong were both stunned. They never thought that their master would leave such a great gift.

    “Senior brother…” Ji Hantong sniffed, “I miss my master a little.”

    Shen Lanchuan patted the back of his hand, but couldn’t say any comforting words.

    Because he also misses his master.

    *

    Three days later, when the sky was still dark, a huge flying boat was parked outside the gate of Taixuan Dao Sect.

    “Let’s go.” Xin Xuezhen said, his voice as gentle and calm as ever.Today he put on the Taoist robe of the leader, his hair was tied up meticulously, and he looked like an immortal.

    The flying boat slowly lifted into the sky, turning into a stream of light that broke through the sea of ​​clouds and headed south.

    Lingxi Palace is located in Lingxi City in the south and is the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance.The flying boat sailed at full speed, and about two hours later a group of towering buildings came into view.

    As soon as the three of them landed, a deacon from the Immortal Alliance came forward to greet them and respectfully led them to Lingxi Palace.

    More and more monks were seen along the way.Most of them are deacons of the Immortal Alliance and elders of some small sects.

    Ji Hantong walked side by side with Shen Lanchuan without squinting, while Xin Xuezhen walked slightly ahead.The three of them walked through the crowd and walked towards the main entrance of the hall.

    The door of the palace is open, and inside is a huge circular venue.In the center of the venue is a huge round table, with dozens of seats placed around the round table, and behind the seats are seats for other participants on the terraced stands.

    At this moment, there were some people sitting at the round table, and Ji Hantong saw Mo Wuyi at a glance.

    He sat alone at the corner of the round table, with a sleeping little Snow Cloud Fox on his lap. Mo Wuyi stroked the Snow Cloud Fox’s back time and time again.

    Sensing the gazes of the three people, Mo Wuyi raised his head and nodded slightly as a greeting.

    On the other side of the round table sat several monks wearing blue robes.The leader was the Great Elder of Qingyun Mountain, whom he had met in front of Song Mianbai’s mourning hall.

    The elder’s face was not very good. He thought that the death of Song Mianbai and Lou Yuxing had given him a big blow.And although what the former sect master of Qingyun Mountain did was for the common people of the world, it was indeed a bit immoral. I’m sorry to Song Mianbai, but the reputation of Qingyun Mountain has also been damaged to a certain extent.

    Next to them were people from the Guixu Sect. The new sect leader Ye Hanjiang was sitting there with a stern face and said nothing.Behind him stood two elders with calm auras and equally solemn expressions.

    Only one person came to Tianji Pavilion, and that person sat at the other end of the round table.It was a white-haired man who looked to be in his early twenties, with a handsome face and a layer of white gauze covering his eyes. He was holding an astrolabe in his hand and was slowly fiddling with it.It was the pavilion master Lu Yanci.

    Every head of the Tianji Pavilion has this name. No one knows whether it is the same person or a name passed down from generation to generation.Lu Yanci’s cultivation is unfathomable, but his behavior is mysterious. He rarely appears in public, even less than Ji Hantong. I think this is the first time that most people present have seen him.

    The people from Zichen Valley also arrived.

    Shen Fu’s eyes lingered on Shen Lanchuan’s face for a moment and then quickly left, as if he didn’t want to see him anymore.

    Ji Hantong frowned slightly, what the hell!

    The three members of the Taixuan Taoist Sect sat down at the round table.

    Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xu Jinan said: “Since the six major sects are here, let’s get started.”

    He looked around and said slowly: “You must all know why we have called everyone here today.”

    “The appearance of filthy odor in the world is a matter of life and death for the world.”

    “Sect Master Mo of the Lan Yue Sect used a secret method to make the scene in the secret territory of Long Yuan public to the public, so that everyone in the world knew about the existence of filth and the secrets that the six major sects had guarded for generations.”

    “The matter has reached this point, and there is no point in pursuing responsibility. The top priority is how to respond.”

    Before Xu Jinan finished speaking, a lazy voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

    “Leader Xu, why are you in such a hurry? I haven’t even arrived yet, and you guys are in a hurry to drive?”

    The voice was a bit teasing, a bit careless, and seemed particularly abrupt in the solemn venue.

    Everyone’s eyes instantly turned to the palace gate.Ji Hantong also looked along the sound——

    Outside the palace gate, a figure was walking slowly.

    ———————–

    The author has something to say: Lou Song will have a side story, so that they can have a good ending in the side story. Yes, I still can’t bear it.

    Proposal in the next chapter.

    In fact, the reason for getting married is very abstract. I had thought of it several years ago. I always play a bit of dry humor in some weird places…Although there must have been better ways to deal with it in the past few years, I still want to write about the very abstract reason at the beginning.Anyway, please be more tolerant. Anyway, our purpose is to see young couples get married (even if they are only half married)

    I feel a little nervous when I think about asking everyone to watch some vulgar XP after going dark.Actually, I’m really not a pervert.[Compare your heart]

    Finally, I would like to thank the babies for their moon stones. I have opened two picture beds, which are enough for emergency use. Thank you very much![kiss][kiss][kiss]

    Banxia novel, a lot of fun
