Xie Linglu - Chapter 165
“Master, let me tell you, we are honest people. It’s the guy who doesn’t deal with it as soon as he comes up. He looks down on people, so I’m not easy to bully. People respect me one point, and I respect others three points. He is like this. I will definitely fight back.” Xun You Lingqi hummed.
Xun Nagan watched her take a sip of tea and asked, “What did he say?”
“He said that our Dingxuan Temple is a broken house. Anyway, he looks down on us inside and out, and thinks that their Chicheng Temple is the best in the world.” Xun Youling said this and got angry.
As soon as she said these words, Xun Ge and the others on the other side were also not good-looking, and they spoke to Xun Nagan.
“Master, what Xiaochun said is right. Our Dingxuan Temple can’t be compared to when the incense was at its peak, but it’s not like such a person rides on his face and scolds.”
“I have long seen that Chicheng Temple is not pleasing to the eye. The people in it are not very good, their eyes are on the top of their heads, and they look like leaders of the Taoist world.”
“Their Chicheng Temple has developed rapidly in the past few years. Wherever they go, there are a bunch of people, but they are all a mob, and there are a few Taoist skills. of.”
The three of them ranted, Xun Youling felt relieved, and sure enough, her own family understood the truth.
Xun Nagan waved his hand to signal a few people to shut up, and continued to ask, “Then what did you do?”
Xun Youling was about to speak, but Ji Xin was afraid that her personal feelings were too strong and Xun Nagan would blame him, so he took the words one step at a time and said: “He took the initiative to provoke several times, but I couldn’t listen to him, and he provoked him a few words and got him into trouble. If you don’t, bet with him to do what you can, and he promises to pay if you lose.”
“Yes, that kid, he did stupid things later. If we hadn’t rescued him, he wouldn’t have the life to tell the truth. He also said that he would send us pennants, admitting that their Chicheng viewing skills were not as good as others. I didn’t ask him for it. “Xun Youling added, there was a bit of pity in the words.
Xun Na slammed the table, his voice was not loud, but everyone closed their mouths and looked at him, his small eyes narrowed, and after a while he slowly said: “A Chicheng Guan dares to be so arrogant, why not the pennant? , of course you have to, another day I will personally take you to your door to see if they give it or not.”
Hearing what he said, everyone let out a sigh of relief, Xun Nagan’s words changed again, and he suddenly said: “But Xiaochun and the others are making a fuss, and our Dingxuanguan is now pushed to the cusp of the storm, why is that? You Yuan’s publicity about the fact that you are following two Yin spirits has attracted the attention of all parties.”
The three of Xun Ge didn’t speak when they heard the words, Xun Youling was a little confused and asked, “Who caught your attention? Why do you all look so serious?”
Xun Nagan touched the handle of the fan and said, “Xiaochun, there are some things I didn’t tell you before, because I didn’t think it was necessary, but now you are growing too fast, and in just one year, it seems that you will surpass your brothers. It’s time to tell you if I didn’t take care of it earlier.”
Ji Xinxi glanced at Xun Youling after listening, and said hesitantly, “Master Xun, do you need me to avoid it?”
Xun Youling immediately held Ji Xinxi’s hand, and gave her a dissatisfied look, Xun Nagan saw this and said, “Listen to Ji girl, you and Xiaochun are on the same boat, and she owes it to you this year. You won’t be able to get rid of these things in the future.”
Xun Nagan said so, Ji Xinxi sat in his place with peace of mind, and smiled at Xun Youling, Xun Youling rolled her eyes at her, instead of letting go of her hand, she clenched it a little bit.
What Xun Nagan said next took the two of them a lot of effort to digest.
According to Xun Nagan’s description, their line of business is not only a line of Taoism, including the reselling of related antiques, tomb raiding and cave exploration are divided into four forces in the south, east, north and west.
They follow the orthodox Taoism in Dingxuan Temple, which is located in the west, and this is where the Taoist temples gathered in the early years, so most of the people here are mostly Taoist people.
The terrain in the north is full of mountains, rivers and rivers, and there are many mountains and peaks. It is most likely to form the so-called geomantic treasure land. Therefore, there are countless large and small tombs there, so that tomb robbery is prevalent in that area.
The east side does not have the geographical advantage as the north side, but they do a good job in international trade. The antiquities stolen from the north side are basically sold from there, and the two sides also have broken bones and connected tendons, and have always maintained a cooperative relationship.
On the south side, where Ji Xinxi and Xun Youling are staying, the place is the most chaotic, and everything is a little bit. The people on that side are all elite, the sea, land and air are developing rapidly, and the news is the most well-informed, and now the news is the most valuable Yes, the benefits are self-evident.
Among the four forces, their situation in the west is the most special. The other three sides, whether it is tomb robbing or selling, are more or less inevitable to deal with things in the underworld. At this time, it is inevitable to find a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits. , so they have to sell their three-point thin noodles wherever they go.
And among them, their Dingxuan Temple has a long and extensive heritage, so the Taoism in the west is headed by Dingxuan Temple, and the other three sides naturally have their own leaders. The leaders of the Quartet forces hold a meeting of the Quartet every year. To make a summary communication, saying that the communication is actually a redrawing of the boundaries every year.
Hearing this, Xun Youling couldn’t help but interject: “Why do I listen to it like I heard a book? I always thought that our Dingxuan Temple was a little broken point that no one cared about, so why is it so powerful?”
“Master is still talking, Xiaochun, don’t interrupt first.” Xun Ge reprimanded in a low voice, Xun Youling covered her mouth and nodded obediently, signaling her to stop talking.
Xun Nagan glanced at Xun Youling, sighed helplessly and said, “Actually, what you said is right, the time for Dingxuan to see the scenery has long passed.”
As Xun Nagan continued to speak, the current situation was gradually dissected. The former west side was indeed subdued on the other three sides, but with the development of the times, many Taoist temples moved to other places for various reasons. Locally, the division of abilities of the Quartet has gradually blurred.
The Dingxuan Temple has also been withered day by day, and the name of the leader of the West has long been dead in name. As for why no one has replaced it today, there are other reasons.
“Xiaochun, do you know why this is?” Xun Nagan asked suddenly.
Xun Youling, who was listening with gusto, was suddenly called out to answer the question. “
“Girl Ji is still smart, tsk.” Xun Nagan glanced at Ji Xinxi with admiration, and then tutted at Xun Youling with disgust.
“That’s because everyone knows that Dingxuan Temple still has some incredible things hidden. Although there are few people, the inheritance has not been lost. If it is urgent, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no problems. This illusory name maintains the harmony on the surface.”
“As for what is hidden in our Dingxuan Temple, I believe you should have guessed it without saying it?”
Xun Youling rolled her eyes, then took a sip of the water in front of her in embarrassment, and said with a lack of confidence, “Wouldn’t it be the two tombs we destroyed before?”
Xun Nagan’s fan hit the palm of his hand, and he raised his voice and said, “Eh Xiaochun, you said that coincidentally there are these two tombs.”
Ji Xinxi sat up awkwardly, and Xun Youling silently put down the water glass as a clever gesture.
“Actually, the rumors from the outside world are true and false. We have not admitted it directly. It is safer to let them guess, but it is not wrong to say it wrong. If they really push us in a hurry, we will withdraw. Release everything in the tomb, without our Dingxuan Guan, there are a few people in this world who can hold them down, and everyone will die together.”
“But now this tomb is broken, although outsiders don’t know that this tomb is the killer of our Dingxuan Temple, but it’s not right. There are waves of people who inquire, and I have already felt the seventh master you mentioned before. The smell came out, but those people were too clean to catch their tails.”
“In addition to this incident, now everyone in the industry knows that the little apprentice of Dingxuanguan who has never shown up, he has two imperial spirits as soon as he appears. This must have a lot of family background, and he is guilty. Although we I didn’t do anything to hurt the world, but the temptation is too great, and it is inevitable that some people will be moved.”
These remarks caused Ji Xinxi and the two to think deeply. Could it be that they really brought great trouble to Ding Xuanguan?
Seeing the heavy expressions on their faces, Xun Nagan said again, “But I don’t think this is a bad thing. We have been underestimated for too long in Dingxuanguan, so it’s time to mention that we are not that easy to mess with, and now Both tombs have been destroyed, so it’s time to collect the Dao artifacts left on the mountain that were used to make formation eyes.”
As soon as these words came out, except for Ji Xinxi, the few people at the table were all agitated and straightened, with a calculating expression on their faces, and the light of calculation in their eyes.
Xun Nagan slapped the table and got up, and said, “The big formation is broken, but it doesn’t mean that all these formations are broken, many of them are still running, no one is allowed to act without my permission, wait for the fourth and fifth to come back. , Let’s act together again, and it will be almost gone today.”
After Xun Nagan left, the rest talked about this topic for a while. The brothers and sisters figured out how many treasures could be dug up on the mountain, and they almost drooled. Thoughts.
She followed Xun Nagan’s words and thought, so the Seventh Master might have been sent by other forces to investigate the truth. It was not a coincidence that Geng Sheng died in Feng Moxuan’s tomb, so how much did others know? She has been with Xun Youling, has she been investigated too?
Just when Ji Xinxi was thinking wildly, Xun Youling got up and walked in the direction where Xun Nagan left.
. . . . . .
The next morning, Xun Youling, who had eaten breakfast, pulled Ji Xinxi to sit at the canteen at the entrance of the village, saying that she would take her around and wait for her two senior brothers to return.
Grandma Zhong from the canteen was the one who brought Xun Youling up. She was nearly seventy years old, but she was in good spirits. When she heard that Ji Xinxi was a friend of Xun Youling, she warmly greeted the two of them for lunch.
After dinner, it was almost New Year’s Eve, and Grandma Zhong’s children also came back. Grandma Zhong was busy preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner, so she handed over the shop to Xun Youling and the two of them, and went home by herself to prepare.
Ji Xinxi felt very fresh sitting in the canteen, Xun Youling introduced her the snacks she loved when she was a child, stuffed her a bag full, she sat in the sun with a lollipop in her mouth, and basked in the sun. I feel like this day is really comfortable.
Xun Youling greeted the customers who came to buy something at the counter. Ji Xin was sitting there and didn’t want to move, when she saw a person walking far away from the entrance of the village, she opened her eyes and found that it was Zhang Chenghu, an old acquaintance.
