Sin of Desire (3)
"Ao Ziyu, you can leave. Finally, the Soul Guard Elder made a decision, and his politeness to Ao Ziyu was no longer what it used to be, but he still let him leave, and treated Tao Yan and the rest of the people, he said: "Tao Yan, Qin Shisan, Hu Qingqing, and that little white dog, fence up!"
The inner disciples listened to the order and surrounded the four of them, and the leading Xuan Man saw Hu Qingqing in the middle, hesitated a little, turned his head and said to the Soul Guarding Elder: "Elder, that female disciple of the outer sect is known to the disciple, and the disciple feels that she is just a little girl, and it should have nothing to do with this matter." ”
If it weren't for the fear of the Soul Keeper's wrath, he actually wanted to intercede even for everyone here. Uncle Tao has driven away many ill-intentioned old monsters for Penglai for so many years, although he was born in the demon clan and behaved unruly, but he still thinks about Penglai in his bones. In particular, he is a sibling to the head of the green shirt, and it is impossible for him to kill the head of the house.
It is true that Qin Shisan killed the master, out of selfishness, he should hate this person, but out of righteousness, he also had to admit that what Qin Shisan did was correct and decisive. Kill the Mind Eater as soon as it is aware of its existence before it kills more people. It can be said that if it weren't for the Soul Guarding Elder who strictly ordered Qin Thirteen to be locked up at that time, the Black Cat Envoy would not have died now, and those outer disciples and little junior sister Leng Die would not have died tragically in the hands of the Heart Devouring Demon.
As for the little white dog, it was even more pointless. He's just a puppy, what does it matter, why should the elders bother with it?
Hu Qingqing was stunned, it was the stupid big Xuanman senior brother. Is he interceding for himself? This feeling of being helped makes his heart warm.
"What do you think?" Before the Soul Guard Elder could speak, Wei Bailian took two steps forward excitedly, and sneered coldly at Xuan Man, who was helping Hu Qingqing intercede: "Do you think she is not guilty? Do you think you can ignore the rules of the Penglai Gate with your words! Senior Brother Xuanman, you have such a big face!"
These words were unceremonious, and they didn't save face for Xuan Man at all, and all the inner disciples secretly said in their hearts when they heard this, it's over, this tempered refining senior brother is going to be angry. Xuan Man, who had been refining the weapon at the edge of the fire all the year round, heard that his temper also came up, and he pushed back and said: "Your Wei Bailian's face is not small! With your mouth, you have concluded that the fate of Uncle Tao and the envoy of the underworld is really a crime to be added!"
Xuan Man has a simple personality, doesn't care about the identity gap, treats people fairly and politely, and is a stupid big guy who is alive and well. But this does not affect his verbal skills and judgment, he has been targeting everyone who has a relationship with Ao Ziyu before, and now there is a matter of the Heart Eater, who knows if she Wei Bailian is taking the opportunity to find trouble.
Xuan Heng, Xuan Man, Wei Bailian, and the dead Xuan Qing are the four great disciples on Penglai Mountain, who studied under Gongmang Daoren, Duobao Daoist, Qingyi Daoist, and Duobao Daoist respectively. Xuan Man and Xuan Qing are the same master, and the two are also the direct bloodline of the Duobao Dao family. Among them, Xuan Qing is the nephew of Duobao Daoren, and Duobao Daoist people are very fond of him. And Xuan Heng is the only son of the Gongmang Daoist, the true legend of the Gongmang Daoist who is deep in swordsmanship and riding and archery.
On weekdays, because Wei Bailian was the only woman among the four great disciples, the other three were quite tolerant of her. In addition, she is the daughter of the head of the family, so naturally she is the most arrogant among the disciples of Penglai. Arrogance is arrogance, Wei Bailian still has a bit of a brain. In order to ensure her reputation as the White Lotus Fairy, she pretends to be kind and pure on weekdays, but in private she often makes small trips to some people who have had a holiday with her, which other people may not know, but they are both descendants, and it is not difficult to know who moved those hands and feet.
Therefore, the other descendants have a certain understanding of Wei Bailian's true character, and it is precisely because of this understanding that they will have doubts and even disbelief when Wei Bailian testifies that Uncle Tao Yan is the murderer. Xuan Man said that Wei Bailian was accusing Tao Yan of indiscriminately, which is not unreasonable.
"The Demon Realm spy Tao, united with the Demon Doctor Qin Thirteen of the Underworld, and killed our head and a full nine disciples, all of which I have seen with my own eyes. Could it be that I, Wei Bailian, would still joke about my father's death!" Wei Bailian said with righteous indignation, her chest kept rising and falling, and she kept panting, as if she had been wronged, and Xuan Man's accusation against her made her feel very hurt in her heart.
Hu Qingqing pursed her lips and disagreed. This woman had just died of her father, and she thought that she was going to grieve for a while, and it was impossible to stir up trouble during this time period. But I didn't expect it, this guy didn't change his life, and he came out again.
Hu Qingqing can see through Wei Bailian's hypocrisy at a glance, but it doesn't mean that those inner disciples can see through it. Seeing Wei Bailian's pitiful tearful face, coupled with her angry and forbearant expression, the balance in the hearts of the inner disciples was almost tilted in favor of this white lotus senior sister who looked the most dignified and pure on weekdays.
"That's it, how could Senior Sister Bai Lian make fun of her father? It must be a demon like Tao Yan who did something wrong!" Among the inner disciples, there was immediately a disciple who spoke for Wei Bailian, and the spearhead was pointed at Tao Yan.
The disciples of the descendants are familiar with the peach mourning, but the inner disciples know very little about the peach mourning. First, Tao Yan never accepts apprentices, nor does he teach, and it is basically an idle job in Penglai; second, Tao Yan likes to be quiet, rarely appears in front of everyone, everyone only knows Tao Yan's hot temper and fierce reputation, but they don't know what Tao Yan has done for Penglai.
"That's the case, Tao Yan is the demon of the demon world, and there must be some plan to ambush us in Penglai. Thanks to Senior Sister Bailian's eyes like a torch, this is the discovery of his sinister intentions and bloody deeds!"
"Kill the peach to set the record straight!"
"Eradicate the demons of the demon world and promote my Penglai righteousness!"
As soon as the disciple's words came out, more disciples also shouted out, and in the end, they almost fell to the ground and asked to kill Tao Yan to solve the problem. The scene was furious and out of control several times. The voice changed from a whisper at the beginning, and finally completely changed to the overwhelming sound of war drums, rumbling so that Hu Qingqing's eardrums almost burst.
Tao Yan kept his head down since he saw the suspicious looks of the inner disciples, did not speak, and his fists under the wide sleeves were also clenched tightly. And Wei Bailian, seeing that her words were so effective, couldn't help but smile provocatively, standing at the front, the disciples behind her and the old man guarding the soul in the sky, couldn't see her expression. Therefore, despite her ugly expression, the disciples behind her still trusted her and supported her unreservedly.
Those inner disciples became tighter and tighter, and the four people and one beast were trapped in place and couldn't rush out at all. The situation became more and more tense, and he shrank at Hu Qingqing's feet in confusion, wagging his tail slowly and being very afraid. Hu Qingqing squatted down and hugged Chaos in her arms, trying to soothe it that was frightened by the denunciations of these disciples. At this time, Ao Ziyu pressed Hu Qingqing's shoulder and said, "Let's go!"
What happened later, Hu Qingqing didn't know. Probably because Ao Ziyu used some strange formation or something, they disappeared in place in an instant, and when Hu Qingqing woke up, they were in an inn. Qin Thirteen, as the person whose spiritual power was devoured the most, didn't wake up until dusk the next day.
Ao Ziyu sat at the table of the Eight Immortals and poured himself tea leisurely. Qin Shisan was lying on the bed, his face pale. Chaos lay at his feet, with big round eyes, looking at Hu Qingqing, who had just woken up.
They seem to be safe......
