Chapter 83: A Carefree Journey among Flowers, Eleven
Xiao Hao had long wondered how long Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan would hold back, and he was not surprised by their arrival.
Shi Zhixuan had mastered the essence of Buddhism and thus achieved great martial arts, so the so-called guardians of the righteous path would surely attack him. Shi Zhixuan had infiltrated Buddhism under his instigation, and this was not a secret. The righteous path would come to him, which should be just as Xiao Hao had planned.
However, man proposes, God disposes, and he did not expect that this group of people would actually ask him for the Heshi Bi.
For hundreds of years, Cihang Jingzhai has selected a disciple as a representative whenever there is a chaotic world. He will choose the destined master of the world for Heshi Bi and assist this person to quell the chaotic world and ascend the throne. To the righteous, Heshi Bi is not only a stone with special power, but also a synonym for the divine right of the king. There is even a saying among the people that whoever gets Heshi Bi will get the world. The Heshi Bi is as important to Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan as the evil emperor's relic is to the demon sect.
Xiao Hao was unwilling to take over such a hot potato as the evil emperor's relic, let alone the Heshi Bi. Wanhua Valley is independent of the world and does not follow the same path as either the righteous or the evil. How could he take the initiative to snatch the Heshi Bi?
Xiao Hao could guess with his toes who had poked the pot out. Shi Zhixuan, this troublemaker, would really cause trouble for him.
Now, those name cards that he had previously refused to ignore became evidence of openly standing on the side of the Demon Sect. In addition, those people from the righteous path would definitely think that he had instigated Shi Zhixuan to steal the Buddhist secrets and steal the Heshi Bi... No wonder these monks and nuns all looked like they wanted to eat him alive.
Xiao Hao was overwhelmed, so he said to these arrogant guests in a nice way: "You all must have been tired on the journey. If you have anything to say, you may come into the valley and sit for a while. Have a cup of tea and talk slowly."
The leader, Master Jiaxiang, looked solemn and stern, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, and said in a dignified manner: "Forget about the tea! You must give us an explanation today!"
Xiao Hao said in a good-tempered manner: "I live in a secluded valley and seldom ask about the outside world. You all come here to ask for the Heshi Bi, and I'm afraid there are many misunderstandings. The five of you are outsiders. It's better for you to be calm and talk things out than to brandish swords and guns. What do you think?"
The four great monks and Fan Qinghui looked at each other in hesitation.
The disciple in Wanhua Valley is exactly the same as the rumors in the outside world, gentle, polite and elegant. Look at the injured snow-white rabbit lying in his arms, and the injured leg has been carefully bandaged. How can he be associated with a treacherous and evil person if he treats animals like this?
However, it is also known that this person has close contacts with the devil Shi Zhixuan. According to rumors in the martial arts world, this person has a deep connection with the Huajian Sect. Lu Miaozi lives in seclusion in the valley, but in fact he is under house arrest by this person. He conspired with Shi Zhixuan to intercept the evil emperor's relic in Lu Miaozi's hand, and he also wanted to eat the Heshi jade. His wolfish ambition is obvious to passers-by.
Don't be fooled by his bright appearance!
Fan Qinghui took a step forward, her figure looming under the veil, her demeanor elegant and graceful, like a fairy from heaven. She said coldly: "Since you know our purpose, why bother beating around the bush. I've heard that Wanhua Valley is a place of great natural beauty and is the most elegant place in the world. The hermits in the valley don't care about the worldly affairs. However, your actions are really puzzling!"
She frowned coldly, with a hint of sternness in her expression. "Originally, you punished the four evil disciples of the Demon Sect and expelled the witch Zhu Yuyan. We thought that although you didn't care about worldly affairs, you were also a reasonable and upright person. But we didn't expect that you were the same as the demon Shi Zhixuan, hiding in this valley to stir up trouble and stir up world affairs, trying to seize the country."
Oh, what a big hat.
Xiao Hao laughed and shook his head. This Fan Qinghui is really a woman from Cihang Jingzhai. If ordinary people saw her like this, they would definitely be worried about her heartbroken and disappointed look, and then hurriedly defended themselves and joined their camp. Cihang Jingzhai is best at holding up the banner of justice and stability, speaking eloquently and morally. In addition, most women who practice the Cihang Sword Canon have a fairy-like temperament, just like Zhu Yuyan who practices the Heavenly Demon Strategy has a soul-stirring attraction. The pure goddess and the enchanting witch have the same extraordinary charm for the martial arts masters.
Fan Qinghui is the face of this generation of Cihang Jingzhai, and is the person who successfully supported Yang Jian to rise to power. When it comes to morality, she is very knowledgeable, making Xiao Hao seem like a hidden big boss with deep scheming.
Xiao Hao was too lazy to explain much to her, so he turned around and exposed his back to the five people. He led the way leisurely and said, "You five have come from afar, so you are my distinguished guests. If you are sincere in seeking peace for the world, please follow me into the valley and take a look."
Everyone knows how to use moral kidnapping. These monks and nuns think they are on the side of justice, so why not try to be kidnapped by morality?
Xiao Hao did not turn around. The five people hesitated for a moment, and then followed him.
Xiao Hao stroked the rabbit in his arms and pointed to the three huge windmills on the top of Yunjin Terrace and said, "This is the Ten Thousand Flowers Ladder. It uses wind power as its power source. It can not only lift heavy objects and move up and down, but can also be used to replace manpower and assist in farming."
The four great monks and Fan Qinghui were unsure of what he was doing and followed him in the valley in confusion.
Xiao Hao only stayed for a very short time. Before they could see the windmill clearly, he had already walked away.
Passing Luoxing Lake, he put down the rabbit casually, took out two herbs from the flat basket where herbs were dried, and handed them to Fan Qinghui, "Do you recognize this?"
Fan Qinghui took it suspiciously, held it in his hand and examined it carefully, frowned and said, "It is the best Qianghuo and Qianhu."
Xiao Hao nodded in approval, picked up the medicine mortar on the small table next to him, and said to them, "These are the two most important herbs in my Wanhua Refined Ginseng Detoxification Powder. After refining, this medicine can strengthen the body and correct evil, replenish qi and relieve exterior symptoms, relax the meridians and activate the circulation, and even prolong life. It is a rare and rare pill in the world."
The expressions of several people changed slightly, as if they vaguely realized the purpose of Xiao Hao's invitation to them to see Wanhua.
Xiao Hao put down the medicine mortar, without stopping, and turned to the Qingzhai.
The Sunny Day Sea of Thousand Flowers is full of exotic flowers and plants. Even the four great monks, who are well-informed, cannot recognize all of them.
Xiao Hao casually picked a flower with a lotus-like crown and a cold green stem. He walked to the gurgling stream and threw a poisoned needle into the water. The clear water was emitting a green poisonous gas at a speed visible to the naked eye. The five people's faces changed and they quickly covered their noses and stepped back.
Xiao Hao smiled lightly and threw the flower he had just picked into the water. The white and purple petals touched the water surface. In just a moment, the poisonous gas in the water was completely dispelled, and there was even a faint and clear flower fragrance in the air.
"This is the Xiwu flower, a special variety carefully cultivated by my Wanhua. It can dispel all poisons and is the nemesis of all poisons in the world."
Master Jiaxiang seemed to have something to say, but Xiao Hao did not give them a chance to speak. He flicked his sleeves and turned his back to them, walking towards the Xingtan Lake.
The old monk was frustrated and had no choice but to follow Xiao Hao and move forward.
When they arrived at the Shouxingtan, Xiao Hao pointed at the huge ecliptic from afar and said in a cold voice: "This is the place where the efforts of the famous scholars in the valley throughout the ages are concentrated. The ecliptic on the star platform can be used to calculate the succession of dynasties, fortune and destiny within the next ten thousand years."
The five people looked at the astonishing huge instrument and gasped.
Master Daoxin put his hands together and sighed: "With the achievements of the donor in the valley, if it benefits the people, the people can benefit from it for thousands of years."
Xiao Hao turned around and said leisurely and clearly: "There are hundreds of natural ingenuity in this valley, placed in the Qianji Pavilion where Master Lu lives. There are hundreds of thousands of people who admire martial arts in the world, but those who have achieved great martial arts can only make themselves not afraid of wind and snow; the things studied in the Wanhua Valley can make the people of a village or even a country no longer have to work hard, suffer from illness and fear of death, and worry about natural disasters. Do you want to take a look at them one by one?"
The four holy monks came together. They looked at each other and shouted at the same time: "Amitabha."
Xiao Hao's face suddenly turned cold, and he said to the five people indifferently: "I, Wanhua, have been hiding from the world to seek blessings for future generations. The good and evil have been fighting for more than a hundred years, but in the eyes of Wanhua, there is no distinction between good and evil. Wanhua Valley welcomes guests and does not refuse good people. Anyone who is beneficial to this way is a guest of Wanhua. You just said that I want to plot against the country. I dare to ask, if Wanhua really has any plot against this country, using the dragon bone armored beasts and heavenly armored men in the valley to throw them to the military leaders, these wooden and stone puppets that do not require human power to form an army, are endless. "If we combine the zodiac instrument with the art of Qimen Dunjia, how many people in the world can stop it? Whoever gets the Heshi Bi gets the world? Do you think I should have such an ambition?"
Master Jiaxiang frowned and said with embarrassment, "We are judging others by our own standards. Don't be angry!"
Master Zhihui also said, "You have a broad vision and care about the well-being of the people. Naturally, you will not do such a thing that will cause chaos in the world and plunge the people into war."
Xiao Hao continued, "Master Lu fled here. I valued his unique skills and kept him as a guest in the valley to attract the Demon Sect. After sending away the evildoers of the Demon Sect, I sent them out of the valley. As for Shi Zhixuan, Xiao considers himself a leisurely person, living in the valley for a long time, and playing chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea are just entertainment. It is rare for a romantic and talented person to come here as a guest, and I regard him as a confidant. If a good friend has something confusing, I will give some advice if I can, and it should have nothing to do with outsiders. "
Fan Qinghui interrupted hurriedly and said: "It is not our place to interfere with who the gentleman is making friends with... But Shi Zhixuan is a demon sect evildoer, ruthless and cruel, and he also stole the precious He Shi Bi. How can the gentleman be friendly with him?"
"I don't want to be involved in the disputes in the martial arts world. It's not my place to ask what Shi Zhixuan will do after he leaves the valley. Or do you think I have such great ability to influence other people's thoughts and manipulate people thousands of miles away to serve me?"
The five people sighed repeatedly. It turned out that Wanhua Valley was such a kind sect. It had no prejudice against any family. As long as they were talented and extraordinary, they would be welcome. The exotic flowers and herbs, medical pharmacopoeias, and natural creations in Wanhua Valley would be of great help to either the righteous or the evil
. So Shi Zhixuan must have noticed this point, so he tried every means to pull Wanhua Valley into the Demon Sect camp, so that they would mistakenly believe that Wanhua and the Demon Sect were in cahoots with each other, thus covering up the real evil purpose of the Demon Sect.
The five of them were terrified, fearing that their previous words had angered this gentleman. What is behind Xiao Hao is what any power covets. Before this neutral power could pull him back, they almost gave it up!
The author has something to say: Hao Hao: You can put a accusation on me! You can put a accusation on me!
The Righteous: (#`O′) The scumbag and sinister villain Shi Zhixuan almost caused us to lose our allies!!
Shi Zhixuan: What did I doΣ(っ°Д °;)っ? ? ?
