40 Wei Youyang (Catching Insects)

Rong Tianhan scolded softly: "Don't mess around." Since the disciple conference has caught up, if you can't come out on top, I will never spare you. ”

"Huh?" Li Xingchen was dumbfounded, "This ...... Senior, you didn't say you wanted me to win the championship. ”

What's more, although he is also a person who has entered the inner door for more than 20 years, these 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he is completely no different from just entering the inner door! Not to mention that his Neidan is broken, his predecessors still don't know about it. For a while, Li Xingchen only felt gloomy and bleak, and he had nothing to love.

Rong Tianhan touched the top of his head and said, "Don't worry. This disciple conference has a limited level of participation, and the highest is only the middle stage of Jindan. You've already been married, and with your talent, it's not difficult to be first. ”

Li Xingchen had a flash of inspiration and said, "Senior, don't lie to me." At that conference, the goal of the sect master was for me to defeat Wei Youyang of the Qingye Sect. Twenty years have passed, and if that Wei Youyang still comes to participate, he will definitely be much more advanced in cultivation than me. How could I possibly beat him? ”

"Wei Youyang?" Rong Tianhan read the name all over again. "Is it a child of the Wei family......?"

Li Xingchen sat cross-legged at Rong Tianhan's feet, holding his cheek with one hand, with a bitter melon on his face. "You said you couldn't spare me, what is the punishment?"

"Uh......" Rong Tianhan just couldn't get used to seeing him splashing and rolling, and casually said intimidation and intimidation of him, where did he really think about how to punish him. He blinked slowly and said, "I wanted to take you to my mansion when you came out on top......

"Wow...... The home of the predecessors? Li Xingchen hung his head and thought for a long time, then clenched his fists and said, "Since the seniors have already said so, how can I disappoint the seniors!" Senior, you wait, this first, I will definitely get it. ”

Early the next morning, Ying Yilu came to knock on Li Xingchen's door.

"Squeak-" Li Xingchen opened the door, tilted his head and said, "Senior brother? Morning, are we leaving? ”

Ying Yi showed a moon-white robe, clean and gentle, he smiled: "That's right, I have already notified everyone to gather, you should come down quickly." ”

Li Xingchen responded and said that he would go down soon.

"Senior, can I help you braid your hair?" Li Xingchen returned to the house, leaned in front of the screen and asked.

Rong Tianhan behind the screen was wearing a robe, he stroked the corners of his clothes, and caught a glimpse of the long hair that was scattered in the afterglow, and replied, "Okay." ”

Li Xingchen was satisfied. Since I braided Rong Tianhan once, my hands have always been itchy. He never knew it was addictive.

However, during this period of time, he would take a few grass stalks and weave them into rabbits and puppies when he was idle, and his skills were much more exquisite. It's definitely better than last time.

Rong Tianhan sat in front of the dressing table, quietly looking at Li Xingchen in the mirror with a focused expression, as if what he was holding was not hair, but carefully carved gemstones.

Everyone went to Tengluo Island on a big ship, and this ship moved forward with all spiritual power. Ying Yilu stepped onto the deck with a few junior disciples, while Li Xingchen and Rong Tianhan followed behind in a low-key manner, but they didn't attract attention.

However, Li Xingchen did not meet the senior brother Tang that he heard about yesterday. Listening to Ying Yilu, after this Tang junior disciple came to Fujiyue Town, he had a good relationship with some disciples of the Great Gate Sect, so he followed them on the boat. It is precisely because of this that Ying Yilu was questioned about his duties as a senior brother - not because he couldn't control his junior brother, but because he didn't have the ability to make friends with the "nobles".

There are powerful people in the sect who can tell at a glance that they are different from the Xuantian Sect's attire. The Xuantianmen disciples are all dressed in ordinary green clothes, while the clothes worn by the main sect are extraordinary, all of them are high-level or low-level spiritual treasures, which are different from Xuantianmen.

It is precisely because of this that the young man in Tsing Yi standing in a group of brocade clothes is extremely conspicuous, and he looks more and more pitiful and lovable. Li Xingchen only glanced at him, then turned his head to chat with Rong Tianhan.

The young man opened his big watery eyes and said softly to He Qing, who was covered in golden light: "Ah, Senior Brother Ying is here." Senior Brother He, then I'll go over first. ”

He Qing's disdainful eyes unabashedly skimmed over Ying Yilu, and when he turned back to the young man, he was full of pity. "Go ahead, say hello and come back. Xuantianmen is a small door that can't be put on the table after all, and if you follow me in the future, you won't suffer anymore. ”

The young man's cheeks flew up a slight red, and he said softly, "Hmm...... Senior Brother He is so good to me. ”

He Qing gently pinched his soft cheeks and said affectionately, "What do you call me?" In the future, they will all be called Qingge, remember? ”

The young man said shyly: "This is not in accordance with the rules. Senior Brother He, I'll go over first. He shyly walked back to Ying Yilu.

"This little thing." He Qing squinted and smiled.

The fellow brothers on the side were busy and said attentively: "This Senior Brother Tang is quite reserved. ”

"Tsk," He Qing glanced at him, "what do you know?" Tang Xi has been in Xuantianmen since he was a child, very simple, where do you know those twists and turns? ”

Tang Xi moved to Ying Yilu's side in small steps, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, senior brother." Senior Brother He has to let me join him, I really can't shirk it......" he said, his eyes foggy again.

Although Ying Yilu was disgruntled, seeing his pitiful appearance, he couldn't say anything cruel, so he sighed for a long time and said, "It's okay. The Xihai Sect has many talents and strong momentum, and it is not easy for you to be appreciated by He Qing. As long as you like, it's okay to follow him. ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Tang Xi burst into tears and laughed. He rolled his gaze around Ying Yilu, frowning suspiciously.

"Any questions?" Ying Yilu asked.

Tang Xi's face suddenly turned blue, and a touch of viciousness flashed, so fast that Ying Yilu thought that his eyes were spent. He rubbed his eyes and asked again. "Senior Brother Tang?"

Sure enough, it's dazzling, right? Senior Brother Tang is obviously still as soft as usual.

Tang Xi smiled: "It's nothing." Senior brother, I'll go to the Xihai Sect first. ”

After seeing him off, he immediately looked back. Who could be the person who could make Tang Xi show that expression? His gaze slid over the familiar faces, they were all brothers in the same sect, it was impossible...... Apart from...... Li Xingchen?

"Senior Brother Li!" He raised his voice.

Li Xingchen frowned. He didn't feel Tang Xi's gaze just now. The same fleeting hostility, he also recalled again, who this Senior Brother Tang was.

…… Isn't it that when he was at the outer gate, he pestered Tang Xi every day who didn't know what ghost he was carrying! But he admitted that his attitude towards Tang Xi at that time was not good, and it was not so bad. On the last day, he kindly left the sick Tang Xi to live in his house! Sure enough, good people are not rewarded, it has been twenty years, this person's malice is still so deep, how much do you hate him?

Li Xingchen walked slowly to Ying Yilu's side. "Senior Brother Ying, you called me?"

Ying Yilu nodded, and said with a little seriousness: "Do you recognize Senior Brother Tang?" Did he have a holiday with you? ”

Li Xingchen replied casually: "Tang Xi, I knew him when I was at the outer gate." I didn't have much to do with him, I was usually alone at the time, and I didn't know him. ”

Ying Yilu said worriedly: "Then why doesn't he seem to be very kind?" You should pay attention to one thing, Senior Brother Tang has always been empathetic and never angry with others. Why can't I get used to you? ”

"Oh," Li Xingchen was a little impatient, "Senior Brother Ying, you mean my fault, anyway, he won't take the initiative to dislike others, right?" ”

Ying Yilu lowered his head slightly and bit his lip. "Senior Brother Li, that's not what I meant...... I'm sure you didn't provoke him, just wanted to remind you of some ...... If he wants to be bad for you, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much. ”

"Na," Li Xingchen hooked Ying Yilu's shoulder, "I know that senior brother is good to me." Actually, I don't think that Tang Xi is like a good person, senior brother, don't be deceived by his appearance. I, Li Xingchen, have nothing to look up to, and he has nothing to do. I'm worried that he's not good for you, brother. “

Ying Yilu originally wanted to go back to protect Tang Xi for a few words, but when he saw Li Xingchen's sincere eyes defeated again, he reluctantly responded: "I was persuaded by you." Well, I'll be careful. You have to be careful, too. ”

Li Xingchen grinned, and quietly turned his head to look at Tang Xi, who was mixed with the people of the Xihai Sect, his eyes were slightly gloomy.

The huge ship broke through the vast fog on the sea and sailed in a direction unknown to everyone. The young friars, who had participated in the disciples' meeting for the first time, were still interested in standing on the deck to watch, and the gray cabins that had participated many times had their own fun.

Li Xingchen and Rong Tianhan occupied a small position at the stern of the boat, leaning against the railing to kill time. The fog in this ocean is so thick that it is almost impossible to distinguish a human figure from ten meters away. However, the wind from the forward movement of the ship was still able to clear a fog.

Li Xingchen suddenly remembered that the sea area where Liuyue fell with him was completely different from the unpredictable atmosphere here. The moon is clear and the wind is clear, the deep sea is blue, and the water is clear and calm.

…… Of course, the most important thing is that he can still stare at his predecessors openly at that time, and he is also in a coma anyway.

Li Xingchen laughed involuntarily.

"If there's something interesting, let's talk about it." Rong Tianhan's face was expressionless, and his dark eyes were cold.

"Ahem!" Li Xingchen rolled his eyes weakly, suddenly grabbed Rong Tianhan's hand, and asked sincerely, "Senior, how is your injury?" ”

Rong Tianhan's palm was empty on his palm, and the pink nails were particularly beautiful on his fingertips.

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it all day. It will naturally be good to live for three or five days. ”

"My predecessors were injured to protect me, how can I be virtuous, how can I not miss my predecessors when I am so blessed by my predecessors." Li Xingchen said affectionately.

Rong Tianhan didn't know how to respond, so he had to change the topic palely. "You...... Your senior brother Ying, it's good to treat you. ”

"Senior Brother Ying has a very good character, as long as he is an obedient junior brother, he will not hate it." Li Xingchen held his chin and thought for a long time, "So the door master also trusts him." However, I have been missing for 20 years, and he still remembers me, and I am also a little touched. ”

Rong Tianhan sighed lightly: "It's a pity, the heart is enough, but the talent is not good." ”

"Senior Brother Ying is a very contented person, planting spirit grass and raising spirit beasts is also very interesting to him. Senior Brother does not pursue deeper cultivation. ”

“…… It's even more rare, the demon cultivators in the world, who didn't fall into the demon path because of greed......" Rong Tianhan muttered in a low voice.

"Senpai?" Li Xingchen was sure that he had heard the word "Demon Cultivation", and asked tentatively, "How much do seniors know about Demon Cultivation?" “

He thought that his seniors, whether they were demon cultivators or not, would always be shy about this matter, but he didn't expect that his seniors would really introduce him carefully.

"Demon Cultivator...... It's a bunch of insatiable monks. For example, the path of double cultivation and harmony is originally the right path that is not excluded, but in order to pursue rapid advancement, some monks turn the path of double cultivation into the path of furnace and make up. Most of the spiritual seas that have been replenished have dried up, become wasted, and even be sucked dry and died. Such a monk is a demon cultivator. Because the cultivation methods are different, not all demon cultivation will harm people. But...... In the pursuit of speed, hidden dangers are bound to be buried. Therefore, the demon cultivators, without exception, finally embarked on the road of harming others. “

Li Xingchen said cautiously: "So...... Or is it the right way? ”

"Hmph," Rong Tianhan was quite disdainful, "It's just that the cultivation method is different, and it has nothing to do with people." Do you think that the right path does not require advanced luxury? What is the matter with Dan Xiu? ”

"Ah...... I think I've even eaten a Tsukidan. Li Xingchen nodded.

Rong Tianhan turned his head and looked at him steadily. "Stars...... If I were a demon cultivator......"

Li Xingchen only felt a layer of cold sweat on his back instantly, and he hadn't figured out how to answer, but someone else interrupted Rong Tianhan's words.

"Senior Brother Li, it's really you!"

Li Xingchen's first discovery of Tang Xi in his life is also available. He hurriedly ignored Rong Tianhan's words and turned to look at Tang Xi.

Tang Xi's face was slightly red with excitement, his toes rubbed against the ground, and he didn't dare to go any further when he looked at him, for fear of annoying him. "Senior Brother Li, after you enter the inner door, I will swear to enter the inner door as well. But when I got the qualifications, they said you were dead. I never believed them, and sure enough...... Wait until the day you return. He took a few steps towards Li Xingchen.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Tang, for your concern." Li Xingchen held back his discomfort and smiled at him.

"Hmm......" I had never seen Li Xingchen look so kind, Tang Xi couldn't help but indulge. Senior Brother Li, what have you been doing in the past 20 years? ”

Li Xingchen fooled the past lightly. "I was thrown to the other world by the Spirit Mansion, and I found the exit to return."

Tang Xi immediately bit his lip and said with a worried expression: "Ah...... Then you must have suffered a lot. But it's good to be back. The disciple conference doesn't have to force itself, the other sects are very strong, and our Xuantian Sect is just here to go through the motions. ”

Li Xingchen couldn't think of anything else to talk to Tang Xi, and he didn't know how to end the meaningless conversation. He looked in front of the bow of the boat and said in surprise, "Is that Teng Luozhou?" ”

Tang Xi really shifted his gaze, turned around and carefully identified it, and said, "That's right, that is Teng Luozhou." ”

As he spoke, the island, which had been just a small dot, quickly grew larger and clearer. The bow of the ship slammed lightly against the cliff edge of the island facing the sea. The hull of the ship shook slightly, and Li Xingchen immediately turned around and helped Rong Tianhan.

Tang Xi looked at the hands they were clasping, and an indescribable emotion appeared in his eyes.

"By the way, Senior Brother Li, I don't know this is ......"

"Oh, this is Senior Rong I met in the Yuanying Spirit Mansion." Li Xingchen took out the flying sword, "Senior Brother Tang, let's go to the island first and then talk?" ”

However, when he arrived on the island, Tang Xi was pulled by He Qing of the Xihai Sect, and he couldn't get out to find Li Xingchen for a while. Li Xingchen just breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Ying Yilu to the independent courtyard arranged for Xuantianmen by the conference. Originally, the allocated room was just right, and only one room was set aside for backup. Ying Yilu said apologetically after the negotiation that he wanted to wronged Li Xingchen and Rong seniors to live in the same room, or he and Li Xingchen were in one room, and Rong seniors were alone.

After Li Xingchen thanked him, he said that he and Senior Rong had experienced the other world together, and it was trivial to sleep in one room, so wouldn't he also live in the inn?

Ying Lulu thought about it, so he didn't persuade him to live with him.

"However," Ying Yilu admonished, "you don't forget to go in time, and don't forget to go to the ring to see what day you are assigned and who your opponent is." Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated. “

"Good, good."

Should sigh. "Senior Brother Li, I know you think I'm being long-winded. But I won't say it if it's useless, you just have to remember. ”

Li Xingchen was lucky, his opponent was not threatening in the first few games, and he easily knocked the opponent to the ground. Rong Tianhan also knew that there would be no problem after watching it, so he stayed in the room alone to recuperate.

Li Xingchen also took the time to look at the strength of others. Most of the people who can stand out are young and middle-aged people, who look like they have been cultivating for hundreds of years, except for a girl who is as beautiful as a flower.

Li Xingchen casually wiped the fruit on the tree on the side of the road, and ate it with a click, admiring how the girl threw her opponent as thick as a hill to the ground.

He shook his head. It's true that this girl is good-looking, but she is too vicious, and she has already won, but she always has to break her opponent's arms and legs. If you look closely, her face is also very mean, and her slender eyebrows and eyes are full of contempt, and it seems that no one in the audience can enter her eyes.

The girl was in the same direction as Li Xingchen's residence, and he followed the girl slowly, and was unexpectedly picked off by a sword.

Li Xingchen was stunned, and said angrily: "Girl, what do you mean by this?" I have no relationship with you in the past, and I have no enmity in the near future......"

"Shut up!" The girl was furious, and a flexible whip went straight to Li Xingchen's neck, "Who do you say is the girl?!" ”

Li Xingchen raised his hand and raised a wall of ice, exactly the same as Rong Tianhan's habits. He looked at the "girl" carefully through the ice wall, her chest was too flat, and there seemed to be an Adam's apple between her throat......

“…… You're actually a man? Li Xingchen made a fuss.

The girl was furious and scolded: "Open your dog's eyes and see, Lao Tzu is wearing men's clothes!" ”

Although he was scolded, Li Xingchen still felt a little sorry. "I'm sorry, I read it wrong, and I hope that Daoist friends will forgive."

"What's the use of apologizing?" The man withdrew his whip, "Unless you kneel down and beg for mercy, you will stay here today!" ”

"You're being a bit aggressive. It's my fault for judging people by their appearance, but what's the matter with me, it's not going to take my life, right? If you are really not satisfied, you can make a reasonable request, and I will definitely do it. "Li Xingchen is neither humble nor arrogant.

This person is even more bewitching than the girl who has finished her makeup, and her eyes are several times more beautiful. "Which sect are you a disciple?"

"In the Lower Xuantian Gate, Li Xingchen."

"Hahaha, okay. I remember your name, and I don't want your life today. If you can make it to the showdown with me, I will not show mercy. The man laughed a few times and walked away.

Who is this man? Headless and brainless. Li Xingchen was a little confused. But...... Such a vicious move, can it be regarded as the right way? Combined with this person's all-round temperament, it is convincing to say that it is the demon cultivator, right?
