Chapter 16 Eliminating the Old Years on the Star Cliff
The year is over with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the summer.
This is the last day of the year, commonly known as New Year's Eve.
Since yesterday, the outer gate of Jingyang Sect has entered the festive atmosphere.
The temples of various Taoisms hung huge red lanterns, red silk surround the door, and pilgrims and believers were endless, and incense was flourishing.
In previous years, the inner sect of Jingyang Sect was quite indifferent to the New Year because of its birth and practice. This year, the young master of the Murong family went up the mountain to celebrate the New Year and the distinguished guests were here, so the inner sect changed his past habits and paid attention to it.
In the early morning, the Qingxian Hall of Tianxing Cliff was also hung with red colors, and the bells in the hall rang three times. It is said that by the turn of the New Year in the Mid-Year, one hundred and eight sounds will be made, which is something that has not happened in hundreds of years.
When was the last time that the 108th sound sounded? When did Ling Xiao take over the national sect and be named the national master?
Chaohui spread on the path on the hillside, Zhao Hanyu and Murong Qianfan completed the marrow washing and the sky and returned together.
Since that day, Murong Qianfan has indeed kept his promise and has been practicing hard for several days, and his morning class has not been cut off for a day.
Zhao Hanyu felt comforted in his heart, feeling that his friends gradually became more reliable.
"Hey, tomorrow is the New Year. What wishes do you have or what gifts do you want?"
"Don't hello, hello, I have a name." Zhao Hanyu said dissatisfied.
"Oh, Xiao Zhao, what are your New Year's wishes and New Year's gifts you want?"
"Don't call me Xiao Zhao, it seems like you are so old. New Year's wishes are related to master, uncle, senior brother, senior sister, New Year's gift... whatever."
"You are very easy to satisfy. Everyone will be fine. What do I want? It's too difficult to think about it, I want too much... But if you get it, I feel it's meaningless."
"Your family is the richest in the world. Don't you get whatever you want?"
"That's why I think it's rare. You don't want to give me that kind of sour candy, so you are stingy!" Murong Qianfan said angrily.
"Then don't think about it. After changing your clothes, you will go to Tianxing Cliff. Today, everyone in the inner sect will be there. Go back and invite Mr. Ke, as the teacher told me." Zhao Hanyu reminded, ignoring the candy matter at all.
The two returned to their residence to change their clothes, then met in front of the courtyard of the Mid-mountain and went up the mountain together.
When they arrived at Tianxing Cliff, Taoist Qingfeng smiled and greeted him in front of Qingxian Hall. Zhao Hanyu and the other three hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
A person walked out of the hall, and it was Li Zhe who had been in seclusion for nearly a year.
Zhao Hanyu was overjoyed when he saw this, and stepped forward to grab Li Zhe's wrist and shouted: "Senior Brother, I'm ruined!" He looked very excited.
Li Zhe was also very excited and said, "Xiao Yu, you haven't seen each other for a year. You are much taller. I heard that you have made great progress in your practice. I am very proud!"
At the beginning, Li Zhe helped Song Wanci raise Zhao Hanyu for three years, and personally taught him for two years. It can be said that he was the closest person Zhao Hanyu was besides Song Wanci. After a year of separation, the two felt a sense of affection.
Zhao Hanyu pulled Murong Qianfan and invited Mr. Ke to introduce him to Senior Brother Yiyi.
Li Zhe said with a smile: "Hello, brother Qianfan. Xiao Yu has been practicing hard in the mountains since he was a child and is very lonely on weekdays. It would be better to have you by your side, thank you."
Murong Qianfan quickly bowed, "Hello, Senior Brother Li Zhe, I often hear Xiao Zhao talk about you. Today I can't bear to see you." Seeing this senior brother from the inner sect of Jingyang Sect, he couldn't help but feel a lot more favored.
"Xiao Zhao...classmate..." Li Zhe was a little confused.
Zhao Hanyu stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother, don't pay attention to him. This senior is a worshiper of the Murong family, Mr. Ke."
Li Zhe bowed with both hands and said, "Jingyang Sect Li Zhe, I have met his senior."
Lao Ke looked at Li Zhe for a while and saw that he was full of books and had a sense of being out of the world; his eyes did not show light, but there was a layer of warmth and crystal clearness. He was shocked: This senior brother is amazing, this level is much more than that of the three disciples with the purest swordsmanship, and even he was able to compete with him.
Seeing Li Zhe's solemn tribute, he did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I dare not! Jingyang Sect is worthy of being the largest sect in the world. His disciples are already so great, and even more, the peaches and plums are constantly growing. It is hard to imagine how powerful the respect for the teacher is. I admire him, admire him!"
Li Zhe hurriedly said, "Senior is too proud, but he is not afraid to be accused of it."
The two praised each other again.
However, at this point, the worshiper Lao Ke truly developed a sense of awe for Jingyang Sect.
Murong Qianfan was very attracted to Li Zhe's demeanor. He was envious of Zhao Hanyu for the first time, and he actually had such a gentle senior brother.
Taking advantage of the gap between Li Zhe and Lao Ke's conversation, he pulled Li Zhe aside and prepared to communicate with him in the depths of his soul.
"Senior Brother Li Zhe, I admire you very much. I have a question to ask you for advice."
"Young brother Qianfan doesn't need to be polite, just ask."
"It is said that Senior Brother Li has been in love with Senior Sister Song for a long time. Have you not received Senior Sister Song's approval yet?"
Li Zhe's face changed slightly, and he thought to himself: "Why is Xiao Yu not light or serious? How can you tell outsiders such a secret matter and shame? Really!"
But he was a humble gentleman and had a good impression of Murong Qianfan. He was unwilling to reject the question from the side and replied hesitantly: "Oh! Yes, I don't know what the polite words mean, and I'm not sure if I don't refuse, which makes people worry."
"Senior Brother, have you never thought of any tricks?" At this point, Jingyu has disappeared, and the initiative of both parties has quietly changed.
"Oh! There are only four words in the books of sages, "A gentleman is good to you". As for how to "ei"... I read more than 5,000 volumes of Taoist collections, but I can interpret them in just a few words..." Li Zhe said dejectedly.
Murong Qianfan felt a little contempt in his heart: "High cultivation? A vast and vast? It turns out that he is also a elm head."
"Senior brother, in my opinion, this is not difficult."
"Oh? What are your opinions on Brother Qianfan?" Li Zhe was excited when he heard this.
"Senior brother, I have something to ask for." Murong Qianfan began to set up a trap.
"Please tell me, my brother."
"Well... I haven't thought about it yet, but please ask my senior brother to help me with a little favor in the future."
"Okay, as long as you are within your ability, you will definitely obey your order." Li Zhe honestly signed the Underworld Alliance.
"Senior brother, you must do this, this......" Murong Qianfan muttered in Li Zhe's ear, and Li Zhe's eyes gradually shone.
After a while, the explanation was completed.
Li Zhe was a little suspicious and asked, "My brother, is this OK?"
Murong Qianfan patted his chest and smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, these three moves are coming out, I promise Senior Sister Song will be your wife!" His words were full of confidence, and he looked like a dog-headed military advisor.
After a while, Liang Ping, Chen Bo, and Wu Tianchu went up the cliff one after another. After a while, Zhang Xuyan also came, holding the usual little monkey, followed by a deer, a deer, two goats, and several snow chickens.
Everyone was overjoyed at first sight: the quality of the dinner was greatly guaranteed.
Only Taoist Qingfeng was not very satisfied and called Zhang Xuyan to his side and scolded him.
Everyone knows that Taoist Qingfeng has been thinking about the leopard in the mountain for several years. He ordered Zhang Xuyan to catch it several times, but Zhang Xuyan disobeyed his wishes and always failed to do so.
Originally, today, the Qingfeng Taoist looked forward to Zhang Xuyan's "understanding the feelings" and captured the big cat with a filial piety, but Zhang Xuyan "don't understand the feelings" again.
Taoist Qingfeng failed and could only vent his anger on the "monkey dealer". Everyone was secretly amused when they saw it.
Zhang Xuyan knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to look up and be scolded silently. When the uncle was tired after he was scolded enough, he quietly drove a lot of the "raw materials" into the kitchen.
Everyone sat or stood on the cliff, chatting about the changes in the mountains over the past year. Only Li Zhe was restless and was very anxious when walking around.
Zhao Hanyu stepped forward to comfort his senior brother, "Don't worry, my senior sister took her down the mountain early in the morning, saying that she would take her to see the fun and buy some things by the way, and she would definitely rush back before the dinner."
Li Zhe was a little calmer when he heard this. But after sitting for a while, he went to the cliff to watch.
The time of Shen is about to end, and the sun is on the west side, and Song Wanci finally appears. She holds Roland in one hand and holds a bag with the other, and suddenly stands on the edge of Tianxing Cliff.
The junior brothers greeted their senior sister in unison, and Zhao Hanyu was no exception.
Li Zhe looked at Song Wanci blankly, not seeing him for a year, and he didn't know where to start with thousands of words.
Song Wanci smiled and nodded, leading Roland towards the center of the venue.
Murong Qianfan poked Li Zhe's waist and whispered: "Senior Brother Li, the first move."
Li Zhe woke up from his dream and walked up to Song Wanci, looking at her foolishly and said, "Wanci, I haven't seen you for a year, are you doing well? No, no, you, it seems that you have been much clearer. When my brother was in seclusion, he always cared about you..." After that, he stood there, and there were still a few words he had forgotten.
Song Wanci avoided his eyes, blushed for no reason, and whispered: "I am so worried about my senior brother. When I have met Master and Uncle Roland and I have come to talk to my senior brother when I am young." After that, I was slightly blessed and led Roland to bypass him.
Li Zhe continued to stand still, at a loss.
Song Wanci felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, "This man has been stupid after being in seclusion for a year? He used to be polite, but today... why is his eyes so hot? He looks at him... his body is hot..."
Murong Qianfan put his head aside and covered his eyes with one hand, "Oh..."
The seventh disciple Liang Ping looked around and suddenly asked, "Where is the third brother? Why didn't he come up the mountain?"
Only then did everyone realize that one person was missing.
Murong Qianfan pulled Zhao Hanyu and asked quietly, "What did you do to your third senior brother that day? I haven't seen anyone in several days."
Chen Bo also came over to ask, "Junior brother, did you say you wanted to have a sword contest with the third brother that day, what happened later?"
Everyone gathered around and looked at Zhao Hanyu.
Zhao Hanyu smiled and said, "That day I went to the third senior brother's temple. I first released the three swords, and the third senior brother easily broke it; then four swords, and the third senior brother still easily broke it; so he asked me to use all the best I could, and then..."
"What then?" everyone asked in unison.
"Then I came out eighty-seven swords, and then, there was nothing..." Zhao Hanyu replied with a smile.
