Relating Yearning with Sword - C53
Shi Yun’s expression changed. He raised his long eyebrows and let out a clear laugh.
“Brother Wu, nice to talk about you. I really admire you.” Shi Yun said, “Young Sect Master is too kind.” Wu Yuxue said.
Wu Yuxue paused before continuing, “I also have a few words to say. Actually, during the day, I already told an elder of your esteemed clan.”
Shi Yun nodded his head and said, “Brother, you already know. Brother Wu, you want me to move to another place to be kind?” “And for what?”
Wu Yuxue smiled and said: “Now that Anhui Province is a place where natural and man-made disasters coexist, it is no longer a happy land. And according to the time you came here, Young Master, it is too late. Someone is obviously faster than you.”
Shi Yun laughed coldly, shook his head and said, “I don’t believe it …” Furthermore, my journey is filled with fatigue and I can no longer bear to make other plans. ”
“Young Sect Master, are you determined to establish a foothold in Southern Anhui?” Wu Yuxue asked.
“Brother, I have no other choice.” Shi Yun smiled and said, “Brother Wu, I still need to ask you for your support.”
Wu Yuxue replied coldly: “I’ve already said it. Since Young Sect Master is confident, then I don’t have to be nosy. “However, the other party’s background is not small. Brother Shi, you shouldn’t be rash, but you have to think twice first.”
Shi Yun frowned and said, “Is he that powerful? Yes… “Who?”
Wu Yuxue said slowly, “Count the ghosts at night, and watch the sky while the golden chicken sings. Has Young Sect Master ever heard of these two lines?”
Shi Yun was stunned into silence.
After a while, Shi Yun said coldly, “Zhangbai, golden chicken? “Could it be that old golden chicken that’s been roaming around Liao Dong?”
Wu Yuxue nodded slightly. She could not help but feel sorry for him.
Mentioning this old golden chicken, Wu Yuxue would inevitably feel the deep-seated hatred she had just experienced.
Shi Yun nodded and said, “I know this person. He has never been able to leave Liaodong. How did he come to the Central Plains interior?” “I’m afraid this news isn’t very accurate …”
Wu Yuxue smiled coldly and looked at him without saying anything else.
Shi Yun stood up and said with a bow, “Thank you Brother Wu for your guidance. I will pay attention to this matter… I won’t disturb you anymore as it’s late at night. ”
Wu Yu Xue originally wanted to tell him about what happened in Huai Prefecture in order to dispel his determination to set up a stronghold here. Seeing him like this, she didn’t say anything more and immediately stood up to send him off.
Shi Yun said, “Brother, you don’t have to lie in front of me. We are currently settled in the Royal Palace. If Brother Wu has time, please take a seat. Brother, please enlighten me.”
Wu Yuxue smiled and said, “Definitely.”
While she was talking, she heard a faint sound coming from the guest courtyard. Wu Yuxue’s shadow that was moving forward leaned against the wall and looked outside. She saw more than three figures flying down from the four walls. Although his movement technique was fast, it was not considered a top-notch skill after all. Thus, even when he landed, he still made a sound.
There were a total of four people.
Four beggars of the same color.
Upon seeing this, Wu Yuxue realized that all the guards who had accompanied Shi Yun had come to check on him. It had been a long time since she had seen him.
Shi Yun also noticed this and suddenly appeared. He waved his hand outwards, and the four men immediately disappeared into the darkness. He then cupped his fists to bid farewell to Wu Yuxue, and with a slight sway of his body, he performed his outstanding lightness skill. He suddenly flew sixty to seventy feet away and landed on the roof of the thatched pavilion in the courtyard.
The Royal Palace of the South Ridge.
A bat flew out from the side chamber, unfolding the prelude to the night.
Elder Bai was sitting cross-legged on a mahogany chair.
From his appearance, he appeared to be in his seventies. However, this was not his actual age.
In fact, the elders of the Northern Cuisine Society all knew that “Black” and “White”, the Second Elder, were the only two elders that were left in the gang. If one were to seriously calculate, these two should be over 90 years old, around a hundred years old. In the Northern Beggar’s Gang, they could be considered the elders. Even the deceased Sect Leader Shi Dazhang was a junior to them.
He was dressed in a simple white robe. He was short and sturdy with long hair that was all gray. His eyes were thin and rhombus-shaped. Even in daytime, they would often be closed more than open.
At his age, there seemed to be only one thing that could be expected — “Death”. However, it seemed like Elder Bai was still quite a distance away from death.
Although he no longer cared about helping others in the sect, those who were close to him all knew that he was not trash.
The White Elder was adept at the Taoistic art of “admitting defeat”. The so-called “spring food morning, autumn food Yin, winter drink rose, summer eat positive sun.” In addition, he added “Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Qi”. This was the so-called “six auras” of the sect.
“The morning mist is the red and yellow qi when the sun begins to rise, the dark one is the red and yellow qi when the sun falls, and the rose one is actually the” dew “, which is the water gas permeated with the night dew (the northern night air).” Mystical and Yellow are close to the air of heaven and earth, according to the explanation in “Chu Ci Yueyou”.
This kind of long-time “qi eating” result was said to be able to achieve the “breath of the womb” effect, which was also the legendary “Wind Raising Fist”. The Taoists had a special term called “jumping”.
If Elder Bai had already reached such a level, no one would know. However, his cultivation was still quite deep, and this didn’t seem suspicious at all. Based on his long days of seclusion and the fact that he only had water in his body, his achievements were not to be trifled with. It was just that his skill had not truly reached the level of the deities’ ‘Fasting’ technique, and he still had to eat some food in the future.
In the gang, the Black and White Elders were often treated as idle people who didn’t care, and as time went on, they were regarded as “insignificant” characters. Apart from asking them to say a few words when necessary, these words would be treated with the respect of the “classic” and “ancestral family law.” From the looks of it, their existence was still significant.
Just like this one thing!
With the death of the Sect Leader with his arm in the sky, the question of who the brothers would inherit the Sect Leader arose. Thus, the Black and White Elders were brought out from the Cold Palace one after the other.
This time, the two elders’ opinions weren’t the same.
Elder Bai believed that they should respect Sect Master Shi Dazhong’s last words, which was to make Shi Yun their Sect Leader.
The Black Elder did not think so. He believed that although Wu Lin’s gang could not compare to the succession of the kingdom, they could still rely on the influence of the kingdom.
As a result, the two sides stood firmly on each other, and a battle broke out between the two brothers. The older brother’s power was great, and the younger brother’s strength was weak. As a result, Shi Yun left. It should be pointed out during this fight that although the two brothers were like fire and water in this conflict, the two elders did not directly intervene. They only spoke a few words behind the scenes.
Shi Yun had failed, causing Elder Bai to have no choice but to run away.
It was a good thing that although Elder Bai was quite old, he was quite open-minded about it. He had told Shi Yun about his escape ten years ago. He already knew of today’s changes, so what else was there to complain about?
He was so old that when he was sitting alone, it was hard for him to open his eyes. He often said that he was the leader of the Four Gods. When he opened his eyes, he had consumed a bit of energy. This was the logic behind “closing your eyes to rest”.
In the huge hall, only Elder Bai was left. He seemed to be napping, but there was no way he could hide anything from him.
Old people, many places like “return to the original,” said “rejuvenation” right.
In the case of the “still pole”, one has to “enjoy oneself” in order to be interesting. Otherwise, what would the living do?
Elder Bai suddenly opened his left eye.
The reason was that there was movement on that side.
A big grey mouse was coming out from the hole in the wall. He half squatted with his front paws on the ground, as if he was worshipping the elder.
Elder Bai’s left eye was opened because of this.
The big mouse played with his forepaws, and from time to time he played with his whiskers. He was a stranger to this newly arrived poor old Taoist. He had never seen it before, but he didn’t hate it. Therefore, whenever it left the cave, he would look at it for a while.
The old Daoist was finally an “insightful person”. Every time he opened his eyes, he would give a thank-you greeting to this beast race friend of his.
In an instant, the White Elder’s face was filled with smiles.
The childish air of a child was truly innocent. It was fortunate that the other party was only a mouse. If it was a person, it would be strange if that person did not consider him to be a madman or an old fart.
Look at the old Daoist’s morals. He raised his eyebrows, winked, and was beaming with joy. Even his mouth began to move.
One man and one mouse, they acted like they were playing a mute. The big grey mouse was very interested in the show. With a “gu gu gu” sound, its pointed cheeks constantly puffed out as it left.
After a while, it came out again.
This time, he brought another big grey mouse with him. He arched his front paws and spoke to Elder White again.
He said, “This is what I want to introduce you to. He’s my wife.”
Elder Bai winked at him and passed on his thoughts: “Ah, that’s great, but it doesn’t look as big as you. It seems like you’re a male, right?”
The mouse said, “You guessed right. How did you know?”
Elder Bai winked and said, “Just look at your beard. Also, your stomach is quite small.”
The male mouse said, “You’re really smart.”
Elder Bai said, “Why does your wife look at me so foolishly?”
The male mouse said, “He’s scared.”
“Why?” Elder Bai said.
“Because …” “It has suffered before from you humans, her father and father’s father, who were killed by humans.”
“This is too unfortunate. Can you explain it more clearly?” Elder Bai said.
“That was done by a lame Taoist before you came here.” “He has a cat,” said the male mouse indignantly.
“Ah, then no wonder. But what about cats?” Elder Bai said.
“Die …” The male mouse cackled, “Those who are our enemies, be it humans or cats, will not have a good ending.”
“You mean to say, that lame Taoist also …” Elder Bai said.
“That’s right, he caused the old man’s death.”
“Old Rat Sore?” Elder Bai asked.
“My wife bit him on the big toe and he died.”
Elder Bai opened his eyes in surprise.
“You probably don’t know yet.” “My wife has poison in her teeth. Heh heh, maybe she ate too much arsenic.”
Elder Bai nodded and said, “That’s too scary.”
“But you don’t have to be afraid.” “You are a good man, and we shall be friends.”
“I hope so.” Elder Bai concentrated on using his mind, “Let’s talk about something else. Is your wife pregnant?”
“You really have a hand in this …” The male mouse said, “I can’t remember which baby she is in this time. Why are you talking about this? “It’s quite embarrassing.”
“Why not?” Elder Bai said.
“Alright, I wonder how many children there are left.” said the male mouse, “but it’s all gone! In the end, it’s just the two of us here. ”
Suddenly, the big rat man stood up. “I have to go, someone is coming.”
The mother and the two mice looked on for a while, then ran away like a wisp of smoke.
Elder Bai also noticed it.
He sighed as he thought about it. After all, rats were better than humans at observing others. Even with his decades of experience in facing the wall, his hearing ability was still inferior to theirs.
Ever since Elder Bai had come to live in this side chamber, other than the Young Sect Master, Shi Yun, no one else had entered.
The footsteps of the person in front of him were quite far away, but Elder Bai could be sure that this person was heading in this direction. Other than this side hall, there were no other buildings. Thus, the person must have given up on this direction.
Elder Bai was still maintaining this sleeping posture.
Sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, he rested his head like a squatting shrimp. His white hair fell down like the clouds. In the dim light, the image of the underground was actually so desolate.
The White Elder was almost certain that this person was already outside the palace walls. Why would he only be spying and not rushing in? This made everyone even more puzzled.
“Phew …” A loud sound was heard.
There seemed to be a slight gust of wind in his ears.
Elder Bai didn’t need to open his eyes to know that the person had gone up the wall. Then, the same “Hu!” A sound that could prove the opponent was floating down. Although the sound came from far away, Elder Bai could hear it clearly.
From the sound of his footsteps, Elder Bai could already determine that this person was definitely not the Young Sect Master Shi Yun. In fact, this person was not one of the people from the Southern Mountain Range.
That was strange.
Elder Bai habitually opened one eye.
Elder Bai saw a thin figure looking at him from afar. This person had never taken a step inside the wall since he had appeared. He was indeed cautious. What was he afraid of?
Those who had already arrived were here for him.
After looking around for a while, this person finally could not help but step forward.
