Chapter 8
Chapter 8
In the evening, Du Hongde sent his disciples to invite everyone from Xingshen Palace to the dinner party, and specially told him to ask the second son of junior high school to also go to welcome the master Mu.
The Jiuhuafeng sect is built on the main peak of Jiuhuafeng. From a gate carved in white stone on the mountainside to the steep peak, there are scattered courtyards.The bluestone steps extending from the gate all the way to the top of the mountain are winding and winding, with some courtyards scattered on both sides, large and small, all the way to the residence of the peak owner Du Hongde on the top of the peak.The courtyard of Chu Xiaoye and others is slightly lower than that of the peak master, and the courtyard next to it is the residence of Du Hongde's four major disciples.
According to the news from Yuehen's investigation, most of the martial arts competitions in Jiuhuafeng these days have been carried out, and the remaining days are full of masters' martial arts competitions, which is worth watching.The disciples of Jiuhua Peak are divided into three, six, and nine grades. The grades of the disciples are determined by the results of each martial arts competition. The disciples who can be promoted to the first level can live in better courtyards near the peak, while the young disciples who have just started can only live in the courtyard. Not only that, but the clothes and status of disciples of different levels are very different. Therefore, Jiuhuafeng disciples try their best to win the competition at this time of year every year.
With this establishment, the Jiuhuafeng faction is Du Hongde's harem.
Chu Xiaoye thought embarrassingly.
A group of people followed the leading disciples to the main hall. Du Hongde had already taken his seat, and the four disciples beside him sat on both sides to accompany them.
The names of the four major disciples were too difficult to remember, so Chu Xiaoye had to number them one, two, three, and four in their hearts.
One, two, three, and four are all masters of water, but human spirits are not as obvious and easy to distinguish as fox fairies, and Chu Xiaoye can't tell whether they are the ones who set the fire that day.
During the banquet, everyone didn't talk much, Chu Xiaoye was absorbed in eating hard, but Du Hongde was also blank, he clearly showed a strong interest in Chu Xiaoye, and asked Chu Xiaoye some questions from time to time.
"Young Master Chu is the heir of the National Teacher's Mansion, right?"
"Yeah." Chu Xiaoye peeled the shrimp.
"I heard that the junior is young and promising, so he became a general at a young age?"
"Yeah." Chu Xiaoye gnawed on the chicken wings.
"...What do you like to do, little boy?"
"Yeah." Chu Xiaoye drank chicken soup.
Everyone in Xingshen Palace was speechless, this kid didn't listen to what people asked at all.
Du Hongde was not annoyed: "It is said that young master Chu's spiritual eyes are the best in the Chu family for hundreds of years?"
"Kangdang" Chu Xiaoye slipped her chopsticks and dropped them.
Palace Master Mu handed him his chopsticks, raised his eyes and smiled slightly, but his eyes were cold, and responded: "The family rules of the National Teacher's Mansion are very strict, and Ye'er didn't like to talk when eating since he was a child. This time Ye'er went out with me Traveling, if you have anything to ask Fengzhu Du, just ask me."
"Hehe, the top of Jiuhua Peak is no warmer than the bottom of the mountain. I'm afraid it's because the room is too cold for the young master of the second year of junior high school to hold chopsticks badly." The second disciple sneered.
Chu Xiaoye didn't take it seriously, her mind was full of how Du Hongde would know about her Soul Eye, did she get some news?Or is it just a random guess?
But Xingyang, a man with biceps on the left hand side, said, "Hahaha, Du Fengzhu is really interesting. He invited everyone in Starscar Palace to dinner, but he chased the second junior junior and asked non-stop. This is Du Fengzhu. not enough?"
This fool is helping him change the subject?
Although the method was a bit embarrassing, Chu Xiaoye was secretly grateful.
Next to him, Palace Master Mu took over the conversation and chatted with Master Du Feng, avoiding the topic of Chu Xiaoye lightly.
While Yuehen brought a new pair of chopsticks to Palace Master Mu, he also took them over to help Chu Xiaoye with food.
Everyone ate the meal with little interest, and Chu Xiaoye happily gnawed on the chicken paws, feeling that the world is dangerous and not easy to mess with.
At the climax of the moon, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
In the room, Chu Xiaoye took a bath first, and sat in the courtyard waiting for Palace Master Mu to go to bed after washing, while yawning, seeing Yuehen and Xingyang running around in the courtyard, she couldn't help being curious.
"What are you busy with?"
Xingyang stopped with a plate of grilled chicken: "I'm not full tonight, everyone is making supper, and when it's done, go and ask the Palace Master to come with you."
Chu Xiaoye's eyes suddenly sparkled.
After a while, Palace Master Mu came out to eat some supper in the courtyard with everyone.
Chu Xiaoye was the happiest one at dinner, and now she continued to eat Hesse.
The right guard on the side was a little surprised with his biceps, and he turned his head and asked Yuehen in a low voice: "This little boy looks like a chicken, so he can eat it?"
Yue Hen gave him a white look: "Compared to you, a foolish bear, who is not a chicken."
Chu Xiaoye heard it, and angrily forked a large chopstick to fry noodles.
That's right, this is the correct way to vent foodies.
Sleeping at night is a bit awkward, mainly because there is only one bed in the room.
But Chu Xiaoye thought, there was no need for the two big men to twitch, and they went to bed humming and chirping.
Palace Master Mu also took off his robe and lay on the outside with a serious face.
Chu Xiaoye was a little stiff, but after lying down for a while, her stomach started to growl.
Oops, I ate too much tonight.
Chu Xiaoye turned over with embarrassment and crawled out to go to the latrine.
Palace Master Mu thought it was funny when he heard that, thinking that the hut was just behind the house, he let him go without thinking much.
There are some lights in the yard, and the road can be seen clearly even in the dark.
Chu Xiaoye fumbled to go to the latrine, but when she turned around, she saw a faint light in the corner of the yard.
Clutching her stomach and taking a closer look, Chu Xiaoye was taken aback.
They are some souls.
Isn't there a dead body in the ground...
Chu Xiaoye shivered, thinking that it would be better not to be too curious in the middle of the night, so she hurried to the latrine.
Isn’t that how it’s done in horror movies? Anyone who dies because of too much curiosity, runs away from the main force to check some weird things, and then screams and hangs up when his eyes are dark.
The more Chu Xiaoye thought about it, the more frightened she became, she shook her head and ran all the way back to the room.
As soon as he got into bed, Palace Master Mu embraced him and hugged him tightly.
Chu Xiaoye pressed her back against the man's chest, a little startled.
"Why are you so cold? If you don't wear clothes when you go out, be careful of catching a cold." The voice of the person behind him was soft.
Chu Xiaoye's ears were red, and she felt the warmth of the embrace of the person behind her, which was especially comfortable in this cold night. She didn't struggle, and fell asleep quietly leaning against him.
Jiuhua Peak, in the main courtyard room.
Du Hongde played with the emerald jade ring finger in his hand, and listened to the senior disciple's report.
"Heh... it really is the eye of the soul."
"But do you want to start preparing?" The eldest disciple knelt down on the ground and raised his head to ask.
"Of course. Let's do it when the members of Starscar Palace go to the martial arts field to watch the battle tomorrow. Hurry up."
The night wind was cold, and the early spring rain began to slowly drift down again.
The second day was still cloudy.
Chu Xiaoye looked at the pitch-black outside without a gleam of light, got into the quilt and prepared to sleep in bed.
Palace Master Mu was already fully dressed, looking at the big quilt on the bed, he laughed a lot: "If you don't remember Ye'er, then sleep a little longer, I will leave Moon Scar in the courtyard to protect you, just call her if you have anything to do."
Chu Xiaoye nodded, suddenly remembered what happened last night, and quickly stretched out a hand to grab Master Mu's sleeve.
"Huh?" Palace Master Mu turned his head and looked at the little paw protruding from under the quilt.
Chu Xiaoye got out of the quilt and told about the soul that he saw last night.
Palace Master Mu frowned: "I asked Xingyang to dig it out."
Chu Xiaoye also lost sleepiness, so she just got up and went to check with everyone.
Yuehen found an excuse to lure away the disciples of Jiuhua Peak who were guarding the gate, and the subordinates of Xinghen Palace began to dig lightly.
It's just that even though everyone dug several feet, there was nothing underground.
Although Chu Xiaoye felt something was wrong, she told everyone not to dig.
"Actually... the soul is gone now... um... Maybe I misread it." Chu Xiaoye felt a little embarrassed.
Palace Master Mu rubbed his head: "It's okay. You can restore this place to its original state."
That idiot with biceps rarely complained, and followed his palace lord to the martial arts arena.
The martial arts contest was not as boring as imagined, because...it was too bloody.
Chu Xiaoye heard the news of Yuehen before, saying that the disciples of Jiuhuafeng would use all their strengths in the martial arts competition, but she just thought that the fight would be more intense, but she didn't think that in the martial arts competition, all the disciples were merciless, and their moves were fatal. It's not like a contest, but like... killing.
Even people like Chu Xiaoye who don't understand martial arts at all feel bloody, and everyone in Xingshen Palace can clearly see their moves, let alone.
On the stage, some of the more accomplished disciples of Jiuhuafeng had already entered into a competition. At this moment, a small man in brown clothes and a big man in red bunt were fighting on the stage.
The big man in red cut off one arm of the little man with a knife, and the blood spattered several feet high.The faint blue light on the knife quenched the poison.
The little man's face was ashen, and the wound was a little black, but he didn't see him admitting defeat, he still endured the pain and fought with the big man, the blood spilled all over the ground, and the whole martial arts field was filled with a strong fishy smell.
The sky was dark and the ground was blood red, making it look a bit cruel and desolate.
Chu Xiaoye felt a little nauseous, Palace Master Mu protected him and turned his head away: "Don't look at it."
If it wasn't for the fear that it would be unsafe to leave Chu Xiaoye alone in the courtyard, Mu Yuntian would not want him to look at these dirty things.
"Why are these people so dirty? They even used hidden weapons. Look, Palace Master! That kid in brown clothes is still sneaking up! Bah, how fucking shameless!" Biceps bluffed, attracting Du Hongde's attention.
"Don't be rude." Palace Master Mu said a lesson, but his tone was not at all accusatory.
"Hehe, this is my Jiuhuafeng rules. It's normal for outsiders to dislike it. Jianghu has everything from three religions to nine streams, and opponents can do anything in a fight. If you can't understand these behind-the-scenes tricks in the master's school, you will have to go down the mountain later." How to prevent it?" Du Hongde said disapprovingly.
"That's right, martial arts competitions only recognize winning or losing, not the rules. As long as you can win, what method is not a method?" The third disciple behind Du Hongde who spoke, who looked like a monkey with a sharp mouth, presumably relied on these dirty methods to become the third disciple of.
On the one hand, Xingyang didn't open his mouth to argue with them because of the presence of his palace lord, but he turned his head away with a livid face, and didn't want to look any more.
Yuehen patted him on the back lightly, motioning for him to calm down.
After several fights, the ground of the martial field has been wiped and wiped, but the smell of blood in the air cannot be wiped away.
But Du Hongde watched more and more vigorously, seeing his three disciples using poisonous needles to defeat the enemy with a backhand, he couldn't help clapping his hands, he seemed very happy.
Chu Xiaoye couldn't help but vomit again, but she didn't say anything. She wanted to find clues from Jiuhuafeng. The martial arts competition is the best opportunity. Everyone in Jiuhuafeng is here at the moment. Good to find some.
Mu Yuntian frowned, even if he wanted to find the clue of the fox fairy again, he couldn't bear Chu Xiaoye to sit here again.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, Du Hongde took the initiative to say: "I heard that Palace Master Mu is young and promising, and he is a rare leader among the juniors. This time, I, Jiuhuafeng, have decided on a new chief disciple. How about Palace Master Mu?" Help the old man try it?"
Mu Yuntian knew that this person's intentions were definitely not good, and he refused: "Ye'er is not feeling well, I will take him to rest, let's talk about the martial arts competition another day."
"Oh? The disciple of Li Gou, the majestic ice blade master, doesn't even have the guts? This Li Gou can't really be like a dog, right? Hahahahahahahaha..." The new chief disciple who had just stepped down mocked.
At that time, the bicep slapped the table and quarreled with that person.
Chu Xiaoye looked at the blue water halo on the man, then looked at Mu Duan's subordinate Xingyang and Mu Duan's superior Mu Yuntian, and thought, boy, you are really playing tricks.
"If Palace Master Mu is worried about the young master, there are so many disciples under my sect who can escort the young master back to the house to rest, and Palace Master Mu can just compete with peace of mind." Du Hongde said, his eyes were a little cruel.
Let Du Hongde's people escort, Mu Palace Master is obviously even more worried.
Even though he was ridiculed by this person recklessly, Palace Master Mu just looked displeased and did not speak out to refute, but was more worried that Chu Xiaoye was not feeling well.
Chu Xiaoye didn't want him to be slapped in the face, and Mu Yuntian took good care of him along the way, but because he was so ridiculed this time, because he was worried that he would not be able to fight, Chu Xiaoye felt that he would feel guilty in the future, so he took the initiative to say: "I'm fine, be careful when you compete in martial arts."
Palace Master Mu's eyes darkened, and he patted his head: "Wait here for me obediently, it will be soon. Yuehen, go get him some hot tea."
Palace Master Mu flew onto the stage, and everyone felt a white shadow flash in front of their eyes. When he was on the stage again, Mu Yuntian was dressed in white to win over the snow, with a tall and straight figure, standing in the center of the martial field like a strong pine in the snow.
The sky was gloomy, but that person was like the first light of dawn.
How can he be so handsome.
Chu Xiaoye held her face and sighed, completely forgetting that she was still jealous when she first saw this person.
