Martial Cultivator

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the dean was yawning out of boredom. He was also very sleepy.

Just by looking at the old man standing in front of him, the dean knew that he would not sleep well tonight. He threw a handful of fish food and said angrily, "Your disciple is fine and is coming soon. What are you worried about?"

"With a stern face, people who don't know would think it's you... Forget it..."

The dean rubbed his cheeks, trying to make himself more energetic.

The old man did not turn around, but just looked ahead and said calmly, "In all the assassinations, the most dangerous one is not the last guy, but the first feather arrow."

When Zhu Xia entered the city, the assassins' first shot, the first feather arrow shot, seemed ordinary, but in fact it was the most dangerous, because it was the beginning, when no one was prepared, and the feather arrow was sudden enough. Facts have also proved that if Chen Chao had not been on that side, the feather arrow would definitely pierce the carriage and Zhu Xia's body. Although she had a talisman on her body, she would definitely not be able to react in that situation, because it was too sudden. .🅆.🄲

If there was no Chen Chao, what would the end be? The old man now dare not think about it.

The dean muttered, "Didn't it happen? That kid is here."

The old man turned around suddenly, looked at the dean, and said angrily, "Did you arrange that boy in advance? If not, what happened today was an accident. If it wasn't for this accident, would my disciple really die?"

The dean said righteously, "Why wasn't it arranged by us? You know that boy. He defeated He Yi in the imperial banquet. He was born as a local garrison commander and is most suitable for dealing with these situations. Otherwise, would we promote him to the deputy commander of the Left Guard? How old is he? If it weren't for him being in the Left Guard, would we arrange for the Left Guard to pick up your disciple into the city?!"

The dean had been holding back his anger for a whole night, and now he finally let it out. He stared at the old man in front of him, and his words were full of confidence, but who could have thought that everything he said was actually a lie.

He had no idea why Chen Chao appeared in that place. Not only did he not know, he was also very sure that the emperor didn't know either. What happened that afternoon was definitely an accident.

But even if it was an accident, he could still say it!

The old man snorted coldly. Although he didn't believe this statement 100%, he was not as angry as before.

"You want him to gain the friendship of Wantian Palace?"

The old man said with some disgust, "You know what I hate most is the scheming of you Liang people."

The dean frowned and said, "Don't spit blood. We want to form an alliance with Wantian Palace and leave some incense and friendship, but how can we do such a thing? I have studied for so many years, do you think I don't have any shame in my heart?"

The old man sneered, "It's hard for others to say, but you, old man, I really don't believe you have any shame."

Although he said so, his mood has actually eased, not as before.

The dean said angrily, "If you are like this, then let's fight. I can't make sense today. I will use my fists to make sense with you and see if you are more reasonable or I am more reasonable!"

"Old man, do you think I am afraid of you?!"

The old man sneered.

The dean rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the old man. It seems that he is going to fight.

The old man looked grim. He had never expected that the old man would really fight. But he fought. If he really wanted to fight with his cultivation, it would be fine. But the old man in front of him was clearly determined to fight him like a country bumpkin. "What have you been doing all these years, studying?" The old man couldn't understand why the dean of the academy was still the same after so many years, without any change. The dean stopped, looked at the lake, and said, "Of course I study, and I have a righteous spirit." Listening to the other party's words and feeling the other party's shamelessness, the old man finally gave in and took the initiative to talk about something else. "Then who do you think is the one who made the move in the dark?" The incident has already happened. Since it is not a farce created by Daliang Dynasty, it is particularly important to know who the person in the dark is. The dean said calmly, "Who doesn't want to see Wantian Palace and Daliang Dynasty get close? That's who."

The old man frowned. In Fangwai, Wantian Palace has been practicing peacefully. There are enemies, but I think those enemies would not dare to assassinate the saint of Wantian Palace.

Apart from those enemies, the only mortal enemy of Wantian Palace is Chixin Temple, which is also the head of the Taoist sect. However, Chixin Temple has been prosperous over the years. The two geniuses of this generation are called the twin pillars of Taoism. They are extremely extraordinary. How can Wantian Palace surpass them in a short time?

Even if there is a saint, it is definitely not as good as the two twin pillars of Taoism.

"What about that person? Has his identity been found out?"

The old man looked at the dean, anger gathered in his eyes.

The dean put down his sleeves and said calmly, "Of course there is a result, but it's the same as no result. It's too clean. A casual cultivator born in the mountains, no one has been close to him in Daliang Dynasty for so many years, and he doesn't have any friends in Fangwai. For a person like this, what's the point of investigating further?"

"Since they are looking for trouble with you, of course their hands and feet will be very clean. But I didn't expect that these people would know about the old things between you and me. It's really surprising."

The dean let out a breath, he couldn't stand this matter.

That matter was originally known to a very small number of people, but now that it is mentioned like this, it is as if everyone knows it.

"Old guy, are you too big of a mouth? Have you ever preached it everywhere?"

The dean looked unhappy.

The old man was about to speak when a lantern appeared over there, the scholar holding the lantern and the little girl who disappeared while walking came.

The dean quickly sorted things out. When meeting juniors, of course you have to pay attention to your manners.

Zhu Xia came outside the pavilion and soon saw the handsome middle-aged man with black hair. Zhu Xia quickly bowed down and said, "Zhu Xia, a disciple of Wantian Palace, has met the dean."

Before the dean could speak, the old man snorted coldly, "Get up."

Zhu Xia quickly stood up and looked at the master beside him with some confusion.

The dean smiled and said, "What a beautiful girl. Were you frightened during the day?"

Zhu Xia shook his head, and while looking at the dean, he said, "What happened during the day was not serious, and the disciples were not frightened.

"

The dean smiled and said, "Brother Taoist, this is indeed your disciple. He is so calm at such a young age. I think he will definitely be a talented person in the world from now on."

The old man smiled softly, but fortunately he was in a better mood.

The dean glanced at Wei Xu and said, "Wei Xu, go get the box beside my bed. There is a gift from me to this girl. Remember not to take the wrong one."

Wei Xu nodded and left quickly.

The dean sat down at the table and said with emotion, "You don't know something. If something happened to you, my academy would be half demolished by now."

Zhu Xia looked at the old man obediently and said seriously, "Master is actually worried about me. The disciple is at fault."

The old man was originally angry because of Zhu Xia, but now that she has come back safe and sound, he is no longer angry. The old man blamed himself and said, "It's my fault that I was a little anxious. If I wasn't so anxious, who would dare to take action?"

Listening to this, Zhu Xia couldn't help but think that it was a good thing that you were more anxious, otherwise what happened today would not have happened. .🅆.

She thought so, but she just didn't dare to say it.

When he said this, his master would definitely be sad.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Well, since you are back, there is nothing more to say. I think some people know that they are wrong, otherwise they wouldn't be giving gifts."

The dean knew that this was the old man's nod to him, but he didn't show it. He just smiled and said, "Can you tell me what happened today?"

It's over, but not completely over.

At least in this matter, none of those people have been found out yet.

Zhu Xia nodded. She was very fond of the dean in front of her. Of course, the emotion here was more of admiration. She originally thought that the dean would be an old man with gray hair like her master, but she never expected that the dean would be an old man. Not only does he not age, he is also very good-looking.

How can one not like this?

After thinking about it, Zhu Xia started to talk about what happened today.

Of course, the story still starts with that feather arrow.

Without that feathered arrow, naturally nothing would have happened.

"At that time, the disciple only felt a murderous intention in the distance, and then heard a whining sound..."

The story was not too long, so no matter how slowly Zhu Xia told it, the result came quickly.

The dean frowned slightly, not satisfied with the specific content of the story, but before he could speak, Wei Xu had already returned.

He held a box and said, "The last thing that person used was the Mysterious Light Curse."

Hearing the words Xuanguang Curse, the old man frowned slightly, and the dean was waiting for his answer.

"This Taoist method is not too rare. There are four or five Taoist sects that have collections. Judging from the answers you gave before, he may be an abandoned disciple of those four or five sects. Of course, he is also very likely to be with him. It doesn't matter which ones, after all, as long as it's not a unique secret book, almost no one will register and record every disciple who knows this method. "

The old man sighed with emotion, "The matter is very troublesome, and we are in the capital of the gods. I'm afraid there will be no result."

Although he knew this was the result, he still couldn't help but be angry.

The dean looked at the lake, took the wooden box handed over by Wei Xu, and handed it to Zhu Xia. Then he sighed and said, "One move can affect the whole body, and those who can't sleep tonight will be affected by it."

There are many more, how can it be that you, an old guy, are the only one? "

…

…

It wasn't until the news of the assassination of the Saint of Wantian Palace came out that many people realized belatedly that today's Divine Capital was no longer a peaceful place, but a troubled time in the true sense.

Calculating carefully, from the very beginning when the Chen Dynasty killed foreign monks and alarmed a divine city, to the subsequent Nanhu debate, the imperial banquet dispute, and today's attack on the saint of Wantian Palace, these things are one after another. One by one, in the usual city of God, it would have never appeared all year round, but now it has appeared more than once in this very short period of time, and each one of them seems to have some relationship with that young man. This shows that Although it is still unknown what it is, it is almost inevitable that the gods will fall into turmoil.

What's more, the Ten Thousand Willow Club has not yet been held.

As the dean said, not many people will be able to sleep tonight.

Han Pu, the minister of Dali Temple, is one of them.

As the Minister of Dali Temple, he usually made countless officials in the imperial court fear him, but tonight after learning about the incident, he had already smashed several gavel trees.

Just in the lobby of Dali Temple, Han Pu glanced at the third imperial edict placed not far from him, his face was terrifyingly gloomy.

All the officials of Dali Temple in the hall were standing quietly at the moment, with their heads lowered, not daring to raise their heads to face the Dali Temple Minister face to face.

"Speak! You keep talking about how capable you are every day, but now that something has happened, why don't you say anything? Do you really want me to ask you one by one?!"

Han Pu's voice was cold, like the coldest wind blowing in the mountains, making people shiver.

But the audience was still silent.

"Check, is there any news? Where did the old guy go out from? Where did those assassins go out before they appeared upstairs? Go check it out. What I want is the answer, the answer!"

Han Pu slapped the table and said angrily, "Hurry up and go!"

As soon as he spoke like this, the officials in the hall did not dare to stay and left one after another to get busy.

Although they didn't know if there would be any real meaning to being so busy, they knew very well that if they didn't look like they were working hard, they would really be tortured to death by that adult.

Han Pu snorted coldly, sat behind the case, and kept tapping on the table. His eyes seemed to have seen through Dali Temple and landed very far away.

…

…

Xie's Ancestral Hall.

An old voice came out, "That young man has done something good again. Everything that happened in God's Capital these days is related to him. Who is adding fuel to the fire?"

The old man sitting outside the ancestral hall smiled and said, "I'm afraid no one wants to know his identity more than Your Majesty right now. Is he from one of those poor families?"

The old man's voice became a little excited, and he said, "Those who have settled down have been doing some tricks for so many years. Now it is hard to say whether it is a cover-up, but no matter how you look at it, the young man is still somewhat good. The girl got closer to him. It’s not a bad thing.”

The old man outside the ancestral hall said with emotion, "It's hard to say, but there must be many people among these little dolls who already hate him."

The old man laughed, "These unreasonable disgusts are really like what they were before."
