Chapter 0007 Let's go up the mountain together

Zhou Shaobai said: "Why? ”

"Tell me, why is there arson on the mountain?" Qin Ziling asked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This should be to attract everyone's attention, so that they can steal and make it easier to escape." Zhou Shaobai thought about it and said.

"yes, and then if you were the head of the house, what would you do after you put out the fire?" Qin Ziling asked again, looking a little anxious.

"Naturally, I asked someone to count the number of people and belongings to see if anyone was injured and if anything was burned." Zhou Shaobai said.

Qin Ziling hurriedly said: "Oh, you Brother Zhou, you are really stupid and anxious." Counted out, without the "Ten Essentials of the Dao", and without your elm pimple head, what do you think the head of the house will think? ”

Only then did Zhou Shaobai understand: "Ah, they will think that I am arson and stealing treasures!" ”

"Alas, Brother Zhou, you finally understand." Qin Ziling shook her head and sighed, "So, now that you are back on the mountain, you can't tell clearly." Perhaps, now the boss has found out and started to send people down the mountain to arrest you. ”

Zhou Shaobai figured out the joints here, understood what was powerful, and couldn't help but remain silent.

"So Brother Zhou, you better go, it's wisest to stay away from this place of right and wrong, you are pure-hearted, and you are not suitable for risking your life." Qin Ziling persuaded again.

Zhou Shaobai heard the concern in Qin Ziling's words, and was very grateful. He fled down the mountain this time because he couldn't stand the abuse of his senior brothers, but he still had great respect and concern for his master, and at this time, when he heard that there might be changes within the Xiyun faction, Zhou Shaobai couldn't help but hesitate, should he tell his master all this and tell him to take precautions in advance?

"Sister of the Qin family, you have a point, but I decided to go back to the mountain and tell Master everything I saw and heard here. Since I was a child, I left home to go to the mountains to practice, and Master treated me like a mountain, and if something happened to him on the mountain, I would blame myself so much, so no matter what, I had to go back. Even if it is really as you said, I think that without evidence, the master should not be embarrassed by me, not to mention that the master will definitely fight for me. ”

Qin Ziling listened to Zhou Shaobai's words, looked at his firm eyes, and knew that he had made up his mind, so he nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, Brother Zhou, I'll go up the mountain with you, in case anyone wants to be unfavorable to you, I can also make a personal testimony." ”

Zhou Shaobai was grateful, and couldn't help but reach out to hold Qin Ziling's hand: "Sister of the Qin family, you are very smart, and you are ice and snow smart, if you help, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

Qin Ziling was caught with both hands, and said with low eyebrows: "Why does Brother Zhou have to see the outside like this? If you hadn't given your life to save me, how would I be safe today? ”

At this time, the eastern sky was already white, the sun was rising in the east, the sun was shining, and the cheeks of the two were ruddy, but I don't know if it was the reflection of the red glow.

――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line――――――――――――――

There are countless large and small peaks in Xiyun Mountain, among which there are 36 peaks in the higher ones, and the main palace of Xiyun Temple is located on the main peak of Lingyun Peak.

Lingyun Peak is like the pillar of optimus, straight into the sea of clouds, so the high place of Xiyun Temple is surrounded by a sea of clouds almost all day long, just like a heavenly palace, but at this time, Xiyun is very embarrassed to watch.

Although last night's fire has been extinguished, many buildings have been burned down, and some are still smoking. The faces of the Taoist priests who were desperately fighting the fire last night were all blackened, their clothes were disheveled, and some of them were overworked, so they curled up against the wall and fell asleep.

It's all over the place, how can there be any bit of immortal grandeur?

In the Qiankun Palace, the head of Xiyun Gate, Lingxu Daoist, stood with his hands in his hands, facing the statue of the ancestor Xiyun Zhenren, and he couldn't see the expression on his face.

A few steps behind him, there were Lingshi Daoist and Linglone Daoist standing with their hands down, and behind him were the Taoist priests of the Chengzi generation.

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere in the hall was very tense.

The Ascension Festival, which had been carefully prepared for three months, turned out to be the scene it is now, and everyone was uneasy in their hearts, not knowing how the head of the house would be angry.

However, after a long time, the Spirit Void Daoist still did not speak.

At this time, a Taoist priest hurriedly came in from outside the door: "Master Qiqi, the fire last night has been ascertained." ”

Everyone regarded it as a Chengxin Taoist of the Chengzi generation.

"Say." The Spirit Void Daoist finally spoke.

"Back to the master, except for three disciples who were slightly injured, no one was injured or injured. A total of 10 buildings caught fire and five of the buildings were seriously damaged. Chengxin Daoren said.

"Which five?" The Spirit Void Daoist asked again.

"Back to the head, they are Xintai Pavilion, Mixed First Floor, Laifeng Pavilion, Yunfei Pavilion, and ...... Mixed Yuan Building. ”

Hearing the last "Mixed Yuan Building", the faces of all the Taoist priests changed greatly.

The Mixed Yuan Building was the favorite cultivation place of the founding patriarch Xiyun Zhenren, and all the things he used in his life were treasured in it, and every piece was a priceless treasure in Xiyun.

The Lingxu Daoist pondered: "Inside the Mixed Yuan Building, how is the situation?" ”

"Back to the master, fortunately, because of the festival held yesterday, the items of the ancestor in the mixed yuan building were moved to the Taiyi Hall for worship, and there was no loss."

This is a great fortune in misfortune, and everyone's faces are slightly pale.

However, the Lingxu Daoist asked: "No, there is also a mutton fat jade box in the Mixed Yuan Building, where is the jade box now?" ”

Chengxin said: "Back to the master, the jade box has been found from the ruins, but it's just ......."

"Just how?" The Spirit Void Daoist turned around and asked.

"Back to the master, the jade box is empty." Chengxin finally said.

When the Lingxu Daoist heard this, he closed his eyes, and his five locks of long beard trembled.

Cheng Xin saw that the head of the sect was angry, and he didn't dare to speak anymore, but looked at the Lingshi Daoist above.

Lingshi Daoren is the master of Chengxin, and he is also the younger brother of the head, the two grew up together, not brothers are better than brothers. The boss has always trusted him, and whenever the boss is angry, only he dares to talk to the boss.

"Master, maybe it's the heat of the flames that has turned that booklet into ashes." Lingshi said.

"But, Master, there's not a shred of paper in that box...... Cheng Xin said carefully.

Everyone was silent, there was no paper ash, which was clearly stolen.

The Lingshi Daoist coughed and asked, "Where is Chengguan?" ”

A Taoist priest flashed out of the crowd and arched his hand: "Qiyu master, Qiyu uncle, disciple is here." ”

"Yesterday's festival, but you are on duty to take care of the inside and outside?"

"It's the disciple."

"Then what else do you have to say!" Lingshi shouted.

"This ......" Chengguan Daoist sweated like rain, and looked up at his master Lingshan Daoist in fear.

The Lingshan Daoist's face was solemn, and he stroked his beard and said: "Chengguan, you found something, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the head of the sect has his own decision." ”

"Yes, Master. Qi Qi is in charge, Chengguan is derelict in his duties, and he is willing to be punished, but in this whole incident, I have found some clues, and maybe I can recover the contents of the jade box. ”

Lingxu Daoist's eyebrows twitched: "Say it quickly." ”

"Yes, sir. This fire was obviously deliberately set on fire, and after I sent someone to extinguish all the open fires in the Taoist temple, I let people secretly stare at several sects on the mountain to prevent someone from taking advantage of the fire to rob, and at the same time, I also suspect ...... With so many places on fire at the same time, it would be difficult to do it without your own people doing it. So I also sent people to see if there was anything unusual in the audience, and it turned out that ......"

The Spirit Void Daoist said, "You just have to say it. ”

"Yes. The disciple found that a lay disciple named Zhou Shaobai was missing. ”

Chengyu Daoist was listening intently, and at this time, his heart immediately "chuckled".

――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line―――――――――――――――

The early morning of Xiyun Mountain is always shrouded in a layer of milky white mist, so the bluestone slab is covered with moss all year round, and it is very slippery.

"Ahh~" Qin Ziling's feet slipped, screamed, and fell to one side.

"Be careful!" Zhou Shaobai's eyes were quick, and as soon as he reached out and grabbed Qin Ziling's hand, he pulled it hard, and Qin Ziling's light body was taken into his arms.

A few small stones fell down the cliff wall into the sea of clouds below, Qin Ziling looked back and saw it, she was terrified, her eyes were black for a while, and her feet were soft, and she just gasped for breath in Zhou Shaobai's arms.

"Sister of the Qin family, this section of the road is called Paiyun Ladder, it is steep and abnormal, and the stone slabs under this foot are especially slippery, so you must be careful when walking." Zhou Shaobai told the delicate girl in his arms, holding this soft and boneless body, his young heart beat violently again.

"Brother Zhou...... You saved me again...... I will remember these......" Qin Ziling lay on Zhou Shaobai's shoulder, still muttering to herself.

The two of them continued on this dangerous road, and finally reached the gentler road in the mountains.

A few Taoists came to meet them, and when they saw Zhou Shaobai and Qin Ziling, they couldn't help but say, and stepped forward and shouted: "Zhou Shaobai, you traitor!" Abandon your sword and take it away! ”
