"Where did so many butterflies come from?" shouted Shao Yuan in the courtyard.

Shen Jinglan got up and walked out of the house.

Thousands of butterflies, fluttering their jade-like wings, perched all over the courtyard. There was another, fluttering, as if it wanted to land on his shoulder.

Shen Jinglan glanced at it and said, "Come out." ”

As his words fell, the surrounding scene changed abruptly, from a small residential courtyard to a verdant bamboo forest. The murmuring stream passes through the forest, and the butterflies fly around the green bamboo.

The woman who emerged from the bamboo forest, dressed in a snow-blue dress, bowed lightly to Shen Jinglan: "I am under Gu Diejun." The gift of the sect leader many years ago is still in my heart. ”

Shen Jinglan still remembers her. She is the little girl who told Lin Yan the story that received a thousand butterflies the day before her birthday.

This little girl has grown up and become a famous Jade Butterfly Fairy. The small bamboo forest is a small world created by her magic weapon "Phantom Mirror". This kind of small world is self-contained, with unique rules, and the owner of the magic weapon is in it, able to move his heart at will and control everything.

With that, she stepped aside.

A few more people showed their bodies in the bamboo forest clearing.

Shen Jinglan looked at them one by one.

They are all "old friends".

When he was a young man, he was still a great disciple of the Shattered Star Sect who traveled widely, and he had as many friends as the stars.

The few who came today are among the brighter ones in the sky.

If he had encountered danger with these people, he might have drawn his sword for them and died on an impulse. Now, of course, the situation is very different.

These old friends were all looking at him with different expressions. Sixty years is not too long for a cultivator, and the years have not left many marks on them. But the flying spirit of his youth has been deposited and turned into stability and majesty. He remembered that there were quite a few of these people who had good talents and good cultivation, and now they had all become elders of the sect and pillars of the righteous path.

"What are you all doing?" Shen Jinglan asked lightly.

He stood impatiently, asking questions and sitting casually. There was obviously nothing behind him, but suddenly a point of light condensed in the void, weaving into a wide and comfortable rattan chair, on which he happened to sit.

He sat alone, and everyone else stood, as if he were the master of this illusory realm.

Everyone quietly glanced at Gu Diejun, and she shook her head with a pale face.

The rattan chair was not "made" by her, but evolved by Shen Jinglan himself by invoking the laws of this small world. His control of this small world has silently surpassed her, the master of the magic weapon, which is really "anti-guest-oriented".

Such a realm and ability have reached a terrifying level.

The atmosphere only froze for a moment, and a monk with a gentle face and a large purple pen tied around his waist spoke: "Shen Jinglan, do you remember? Sixty years ago, on this Huashan Mountain, you came out on top, we gathered together to celebrate you, and everyone was drunk for three days. ”

There was nostalgia in his voice.

Another nun wearing a half-veiled and a cold voice said, "It's been sixty years, and it's rare to get together again." We still want to get drunk with you...... But I don't know if you dare to drink this glass of wine?"

Shen Jinglan looked at them. The people who spoke were called Wang Yun and Shangguan Yao, and he didn't forget the names of these two old friends.

Seeing that he was silent, as if acquiescing, Gu Diejun flicked his sleeves, and a stone table and several chairs appeared in front of him. She placed hot and cold dishes and a jug of wine on the stone table. The wine and food were not "created" by her using the rules of the small world, but taken out of the Qiankun bag. The things of creation, although edible, are tasteless and difficult to swallow.

Everyone sat down, and Gu Diejun poured wine for them one by one.

There was also a glass of wine, which was handed to Shen Jinglan, exuding a rich aroma.

He only smiled. There is no meaning to be sent to the lips.

Wang Yun said: "If you are afraid that the wine is poisonous, I will do it first as a respect." ”

He drank the wine from his glass. The rest also drank dry.

Then everyone looked at the wine glass in Shen Jinglan's palm. The clear and translucent liquor swayed slightly, the color of green jade, and made his fingers pale.

Wang Yun suddenly smiled: "I still remember the rules of the year." Everyone takes turns to drink a round, and whoever can't drink when it's their turn is a turtle. ”

Shen Jinglan looked down at the wine glass, and suddenly smiled: "Well said, whoever doesn't drink is a turtle." But you also forgot that it was to celebrate my victory, and I invited you. Now that you have taken great pains to find this place, I, as the landlord, should still be asked for wine by me. ”

With a flick of his wrist, the clear liquor spilled to the ground, and everyone's faces changed. After pouring only a little, he turned the rim of the cup again, still leaving half a cup.

He also took out a white-glazed flask, tilted the spout, and filled half of his glass. The flask flew out on its own, filling everyone's empty glasses again. The amber liquor has a subtle aroma and seems to be very sweet.

"I'll do it first. Shen Jinglan held the wine glass, smiled, and looked around at the crowd.

Tilt your neck and pour the mixture into your throat.

Everyone looked at each other, and fell silent for a moment.

It was still Wang Yun who spoke first: "Okay, I'll do it." He took another drink. In addition to him, several others drank it.

The others didn't move. They didn't have the courage to drink this cup of wine from the Demon Sect Master.

Shen Jinglan smiled and said, "It turns out that after sixty years, the turtle has become so much. ”

He didn't look at the men again. Some of them had turned red.

Wang Yun said: "Yes and no. Even being a turtle is much better than being a snake and scorpion that hurts people. ”

Seeing Shen Jinglan looking at him, as if waiting for him to continue, he said, "Shen Jinglan, the wine has been drunk, and I will be straightforward." There may be hidden secrets in your affairs back then, but over the years, you have become more and more excessive. Do you know how many traitors and villains you have indulged in? Everyone who came here today has a grudge against you!"

"Do you still remember my junior brother, when we went to Tianshui City to play, he followed behind, chattering, always asking you for advice?" he shook his head, showing a look of pain, "Twelve years ago, he was killed by the blue-faced ghost Qiao Jing on the way back to the sect, Qiao Jing took his magic weapon and destroyed his body. In order to avenge him, I chased and killed him all the way, but in the end, Qiao Jing fled to Youzhou and defected to the Heavenly Absolute Sect. He hides in Youzhou and can't come out, so I can't help him!"

"My apprentice was also seriously injured by Min Tianxiang under the command of your Demon Sect, and almost lost his life!"

"Even the great demon who caused trouble, you actually took him into the sect!"

Everyone has something to say. Apparently there is a sense of resentment.

Shen Jinglan listened quietly and did not refute, and only after they finished speaking, did he say, "What do you want?"

"If you still have a clear conscience, you should dissolve the Heavenly Absolute Sect and cause all evils to be punished. ”

Shen Jinglan chuckled lightly when he heard this.

Wang Yun said: "I know that as the head of a sect, you also have many considerations of your own. But you should at least hand over a few of the most heinous criminals. Over the years, we have seen that you have not committed anything harmful to nature and reason with your own hands, so why bother to be in the same league with them?"

Shen Jinglan replied without hesitation.

"No way. ”

"Why?"

"Because the Heavenly Absolute Sect doesn't ask about the background, no one will accept it. This sentence is what I said, and it has never changed. Shen Jinglan said lightly, "If you are desperate one day, I will welcome you as well." ”

The Heavenly Absolute Sect accepts everything and embraces everything. There are innocent people who have no way out, and naturally there are also vicious people, Qiao Jing and others, maybe they are really heinous. But if he hands it over, the promise of "no one will not be accepted" will be gone, and who will dare to come again in the future?

If every defector had to go through an examination, who would have the qualifications to judge whether others were right or wrong?

How is this kind of Heavenly Absolute Sect different from the righteous path?

I just don't ask right from wrong and connive at the real murderer, so what!

From the first day of the founding of the Heavenly Absolute Sect, he had no intention of going back.

Wang Yun sighed lightly: "Since you said so, it seems that we have no other way." ”

They retreated in an instant, surrounded Shen Jinglan, and set up a formation.

The golden brilliance rises from the soles of everyone's feet. The direction in which they are based also seems to imply a mystery.

Shen Jinglan had already seen it, and they had formed a tight formation.

"It seems that you are here prepared. ”

These people are not from the same family, they come from all over the world, and in order to form this formation, they need to practice together many times in advance.

The veiled woman said, "It's rare for you to come to Zhongzhou, we really don't want to miss this opportunity...... When you return to Youzhou and go to crusade again, you will not only mobilize the army, but also sacrifice a lot of manpower. ”

Shen Jinglan only said indifferently: "I thought you wouldn't be so imprudent. ”

"Perhaps a little louder," said another, "but we have come with a determination to die." ”

Shen Jinglan looked at him, as if he was about to say something, but he paused.

"Ahem"

He suddenly coughed violently, as if he were about to pull his lungs out of his chest. He reached out to cover his mouth, but there was a hint of bright red, and it swayed down the sleeve of his robe.

Everyone saw the hint of bright red that could not be concealed.

The fog, which is so faint that it is almost invisible, fills the bamboo forest at some point.

Wang Yun looked at him with a complicated expression: "That pot of wine is indeed not poisonous, and the poison is spread in this small world." The real person of Toad Ling has quenched the magic weapon of the Phantom Mirror, from the inside to the outside, every inch is highly poisonous. As long as you are in it, the toxins will gradually accumulate and you will not be able to perceive them. He smiled and said, "This is a strange poison concocted by the Toad Spirit, and we don't have an antidote." You should now see that from the moment we set foot in this place, we are determined to die with you, and this is true. Someone didn't dare to drink your wine just now, and it was just a pretense to dispel your doubts. ”

They formed a formation to stop Shen Jinglan for a short time and trap him here.

until he died of poison.

Shen Jinglan finally stopped coughing.

There was still a red patch in front of his eyes.

He slowly raised his head, and looked at the people in front of him with such eyes.

The bleak blood under his eyes was smeared on the faces of those people.

In the past, the gathering of laughter and laughter on Huashan turned into a blood feast.

"I'm just about to die, but you don't hesitate to fight to the death, but I am a little impressed with you. Shen said in shock.

At this point, he was as calm as ever.

Another person said: "You came to Zhongzhou, and Yunqi's predecessors fought with you." He asserts that you won't live more than five years. Of course, we know about this, and if that were the case, we wouldn't have done anything with you, but ......"

"But," Shen Jinglan smiled and took it for him, "You guys are really afraid, if I want to stay in the world without people and ghosts, there are always many ways to stay for a few more decades." You will live for yourselves, and you will not believe that I will die honestly. In your opinion, the more power and power you have, the more you will fall in love with the world, right? For example, the former head of the Guiqingcheng faction, the dustless old man, after his death, took away his own disciples, and he still wanted to hide from the world. As an elder, you must have heard of it. ”

The man's face changed slightly, a secret that few people knew.

Then he also nodded: "You are not bad at all." We can't take this risk, and the right way in the world can't take this risk. Shen Jinglan, how many evil techniques have been secretly collected by the Demon Sect under your command over the years, do you really think that we don't know anything about it? How can we believe you?"

Shen Jinglan smiled coldly and did not argue.

If he could live, he certainly didn't want to die. Lin Yan did find a lot of ways for him, but he couldn't look down on it, and even Lin Yan himself didn't want him to live half-human and half-ghost.

He stood up from his wicker chair.

Dark purple thunder flew like a meteor and landed in this small world.

The golden light of the formation also shook.

In the roar of thunder, Wang Yun shouted to him: "Shen Jinglan, you still don't give up, you only have five years of life at most, or five years of illness......

Even we, who have far more than five years left to live, have given up this life!

"Even if I only have one more day to live," Shen said, "this day has its value." I'm going to live the day on my own terms. ”

No one can decide for me. 166 Reading Network
