Chapter 296: Troubled times are coming
But at the moment, Lin Yi can't scruple so much, he can't always worry about touching the interests of others, and just dispel his long-standing idea.
After discussing these things with Lin Langtian, Lin Yi got up and left the courtyard where Lin Langtian lived.
It's just that what Lin Yi didn't notice was that when he left the courtyard where Lin Langtian lived, there was a gaze that fell on him.
"It's a funny little fellow, are you still hiding your identity? "In a hidden place in the Lin Mansion, a rather old-sounding voice began to sound.
……
The southernmost part of the Southern Chu Empire, 100,000 mountains.
In these 100,000 mountains, the perennial clouds and mist are shrouded, and there is a lot of rain, which also causes the 100,000 mountains to be damp all year round, and under such an environment, it makes this area more poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, especially under the perennial rain, so that most of the 100,000 mountains are bathed, and under the bath, there are many poisonous Zhang.
It can be said that in this area, except for some local residents, ordinary outsiders do not come here at all.
As far as the eye can see, I can only see that this piece of 100,000 mountains stretches endlessly, quite a bit of majestic, and in the center of the 100,000 mountains, there is a towering mountain peak, which stands quietly there, is like a straight war spear, straight into the sky.
That's the mountain.
On this mountain, there is a famous sect of cultivating immortals in the southern Chu cultivation world, which is also called Lishan.
At this moment, on the top of the mountain, there is a majestic palace standing proudly on the top of the mountain, around the palace, there are clouds and mist, there are cranes flying, and more glow radiates from the roof, making this palace look like a fairy palace.
In the palace, at this moment, a middle-aged beautiful woman was sitting quietly on the top seat of the palace, and her eyes calmly fell on the three figures standing below.
And these three figures were not the three Duanmu Lei who wanted to take down Mei Sanniang in the Xiuxian Inn in the City of Annihilation, but who were they?
"Can you get the things back?" said the middle-aged beauty lightly.
As soon as the middle-aged beauty said this, Duanmu Lei stood up respectfully, and then said respectfully to the middle-aged beauty: "Back to the sect master, take it back." ”
After speaking, Duanmu Lei carefully took out the purple wooden box from his arms, and then respectfully held it above his head.
Seeing this, the middle-aged beautiful woman nodded with satisfaction, and as soon as she raised her hand, the purple wooden box flew into her hand.
Looking at the purple wooden box in her hand, the middle-aged beauty shook her head, and then sighed, with a complicated look in her eyes.
Then, she slowly opened the purple wooden box.
"It's okay, it's just that the power of the Gu King who has been lost for a hundred years has been lost, although it will take some means, but after all, it will be able to recover the power of the Gu King that has dissipated for nearly a hundred years. The middle-aged beauty sighed, closed the purple wooden box, and put it in her arms.
After doing all this, the eyes of the middle-aged beauty fell on Duanmu Lei's body again.
"Now that I've got it back, ...... How do you deal with people?"
Duanmu Lei said respectfully: "Mei Sanniang ignored the rules of the sect and dared to steal the Golden Armor Gu King carefully cultivated by my sect master for several generations from the mountain. ”
"Well, according to the rules of the sect, it should be so, so, you did it?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman asked very calmly, and there was no emotion in her calm words.
However, such a sentence without the slightest emotion made Duanmu Lei's body suddenly shake.
He knew that the more the sect master was like this, it meant that the more she cared about something.
And the more the sect master cares, if he goes against the sect master's will, then, next, he may have a lot of trouble.
He glanced left and right at the two middle-aged men standing behind him, and a little joy flashed in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he once again said respectfully to the middle-aged beauty: "Back to the sect master, my subordinates didn't do that. ”
As soon as Duanmu Lei's words came out, the originally calm expression of the middle-aged beauty finally appeared a little different for the first time.
"Oh, why is this? Elder Duanmu, you have mastered the criminal law of Lishan for nearly a hundred years, and you have always been known for being fair and strict, why did you not act according to the rules of the sect this time?" asked the middle-aged beautiful woman with some surprise.
As soon as Duanmu Lei said this, he couldn't help but say in his heart, isn't it because Mei Sanniang is your only and most beloved disciple, if I really act in accordance with the rules of the sect, abolish Mei Sanniang's cultivation, and cut off her hands and feet, you still won't put me to death?
Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Duanmu Lei naturally didn't have the courage to say so.
He replied respectfully to the middle-aged beautiful woman: "Rules are dead, but people are alive, I heard that the reason why Mei Sanniang stole your Golden Armor Gu King from the sect master was not because of bad intentions, but because she wanted to use this Golden Armor Gu King as a Gu guide to perform my most unfathomable witchcraft soul rejuvenation technique from the mountain, to save her most beloved person." Such a person with deep affection, I really can't bear to use the rules of the sect to punish her!"
Damn, you still have to be embarrassed?!!!
At this moment, the two middle-aged men standing behind Duanmu Lei suddenly had a burst of disdain for Duanmu Lei, and secretly said in their hearts that if it weren't for the sect elder of the Scattered Cultivation and the Mixed Yuan Sword Sect who tried his best to protect that Mei Sanniang, and if it weren't for the two of them reminding you at the last moment, saying that Mei Sanniang is the only and most beloved disciple of the sect master, where would you have so many scruples, I can't say that Mei Sanniang at this moment has been abolished by you to cultivate, and she has become a waste person after cutting off one hand and one foot!
Duanmu Lei naturally couldn't feel the contempt of the two deacons behind him, and his gaze fell on the middle-aged beauty from beginning to end.
The reason why he said so much and waited was the reaction of the middle-aged beauty.
Sure enough, after hearing Duanmu Lei's words, the middle-aged beautiful woman also had a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
And noticing the look of satisfaction flashing in the eyes of the middle-aged beauty, Duanmu Lei was also happy in his heart at the moment, the Secret Dao Sect Master really didn't blame that Mei Sanniang too much, otherwise, after hearing her words, there would never be a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
"That scoundrel, in order to save a mortal, actually braced up the courage to dare to steal my Golden Armor Gu King, and used this as a Gu lure to perform my supreme sorcery from the mountain to restore the soul, it is really damned!" the middle-aged beautiful woman snorted coldly.
Immediately, he shook his head, then sighed, and continued: "However, no matter how that thug messes around, she is my personal disciple after all. Elder Duanmu, this time your actions have made this sect master quite satisfied, this sect master has remembered this matter! As for that criminal, you don't care about it for the time being, if she really has me as a master in her heart, I believe that she will naturally come back and personally ask me for her guilt, if she doesn't come back, then ...... Just because I have never had this disciple, when the time comes, I will find her and personally abolish her cultivation!!"
"Yes, Sect Master Shengming!"
Duanmu Lei responded, but he thought in his heart, this sect master's spoiling of that Mei Sanniang was really to a terrible point, and that Mei Sanniang stole her Golden Armor Gu King, and she didn't see her angry.
Thinking about it now, Duanmu Lei was also in a cold sweat in his heart, thinking that at that time, in the Xiuxian Inn, if it wasn't for that little scattered cultivator who stopped him and tried his best to protect Namei Sanniang, he was afraid that he would have already abolished Namei Sanniang's cultivation and cut off her hands and feet. And at this moment, looking at the attitude of the sect master, the sect master obviously did not intend to punish Mei Sanniang too much, if he really dealt with that Mei Sanniang in accordance with the rules of the sect and without the instructions of the sect master, then even if the sect master did not say anything on the surface, but secretly, he could not say that he would do it to himself.
"Mei Sanniang, Mei Sanniang, with such a good master, you are restless and anxious to stay in the mountains to cultivate, but you want to go to the mortal world, infatuated with a secular man, it is really stupid!" Duanmu Lei couldn't help but think in his heart.
"Alright. Elder Duanmu, you will inform your disciples later, starting today, I will leave the mountain for a great retreat for half a year, and during this half year, no disciple who has left the mountain is allowed to go out. I have a hunch that troubled times...... Coming soon!"
"Yes!
