30. Consequences of deception
In the twenty or thirty years that the Zhaoming Demon Monarch was in power, the Cangming Sect gradually recovered from its defeat, and today it is not much different from when it was in its heyday.
The main hall was still illuminated by the faint blue flames that the Cangying Sect was accustomed to, and a pale golden light appeared at the end of the gorgeous dark carpet. As soon as the light landed, it turned into a human figure, dressed in black, wearing a golden mask, and holding a beautiful white cat in his arms, which was the Zhaoming Demon Lord who had disappeared for two days.
However, the first words he said after returning made everyone present feel bad: "What about Xingbla? Tell him to come to me. ”
There is nothing wrong with this sentence itself, what is problematic is the tone of the Demon Lord of Zhaoming. He is not usually a person with fierce feelings, on the contrary, most of the time, the Demon Lord of Zhaoming can even be said to have a good temper, and the number of times he gets angry is only a handful.
But this time, everyone could hear his anger - it was magma that seemed to be piled up under a volcano, even if it looked like it was normal, but once it erupted, it would not be able to be calmed down.
"What else are you looking at here?" The Zhaoming Demon Lord glanced at the people in front of him, and after this glance, everyone scattered one after another. Only one person moved to the door early, but was stopped by the demon lord at the moment when he was about to go out: "Yunlu, you stay." ”
“…… Be. Yunlu's eyebrows jumped, and he reluctantly retracted his right foot, which had already stepped out of the middle.
"In the list of disciples recruited in Cangtian Prefecture this year, there is a person named Gu Ziyan, what are his results?" As if he was tired, the Demon Lord walked to the seat in the hall and sat down slowly, his fingertips constantly tapping on the armrest represented his current mood.
Yunlu lowered his head and thought for a while, and replied: "His martial arts test score is the top three in Cangtianzhou, but his literary test score is not qualified, so he is not on the final list." But ......"
"Just say it." Seeing that Yunlu had reservations, the Zhaoming Demon Monarch bowed his head slightly and motioned for him to continue.
"It stands to reason that even if the essay test paper is not passed, it needs to be stored in the warehouse, but Gu Ziyan's essay test paper was missing at the beginning." Yun Lu paused, and his next voice couldn't help lowering, "Actually, I'm also very curious, after all, I haven't seen anyone who has been brushed down by the Wen test for so many years, so I specifically asked the examiner in Cangtian Prefecture this year, and he only told me that I was accidentally lost." ”
"But after all, this is just the exam paper of the person who failed the list, and then it will be gone, I don't know if the Demon Lord suddenly mentioned this ......" Yun Huang was about to ask something, but was cut off by a sentence floating behind him.
"Yunlu, you are not active in dealing with big things, but you remember these irrelevant things clearly." Even if Xingblazing's voice was deliberately suppressed, it could not hide the meaning of gnashing teeth. It's just that Yunlu is so talkative, and before he has time to think about how to deal with it, he has already punctured everything here.
Yun Lu didn't get angry when he was said like this, he just smiled, then rolled up his light green sleeves and stood sideways: "Yes, it's all because I always remember things by heart, this problem has been changed for a long time, but I always get sick." ”
Xingblaze came out of the ancient realm, and he may not know much about human feelings, but Yunlu, who was already in the Cangying Sect a hundred years ago, is not stupid. He never usually argues with Starblazing, and naturally he won't at this time.
In the current situation, you can go as far as you can, and you must not get involved in it.
After all, being able to stay in the Cangming Sect from the time when the Cangyan Demon Venerable was still in the past to become the left envoy of the Cangming Sect, Yunlu actually knows more about this place than others, and can also speculate more about the mind of the Zhaoming Demon Monarch. It's just that he usually doesn't want to come out, but if you really want to count it, he watched the Demon Lord grow up...... At that time, he was still working under Cangyan Demon Venerable, and he could occasionally chat with Demon Venerable about life.
Ahem, it's been a hundred years, so it's better to mention it less.
Xing Chi glanced at Yun Lu hatefully, but he couldn't attack at this time, he took a few steps forward and was about to kneel, but he saw something smashing towards him. impartially, it happened to hit him on the head, and in an instant, blood flowed down from the corner of his forehead.
The blood is blue, and it doesn't have the temperature that ordinary people should have.
According to Xingblazing's skills, it is no problem to dodge or intercept what was just now. But he didn't move, although he was secretly told by Yunlu that there was something wrong with doing things a few times, but at least now he knew that his best choice was to be silent.
Any argument would only increase the anger of the young man in front of him.
"Xingbla, I didn't bring you out from the Ancient Domain in the first place, not to let you deceive and secretly obstruct you!" The usually relatively gentle expression of the Demon Lord of Zhaoming had long since ceased to exist at this moment, and the green tendons on the back of his hand grasping the armrest protruded, obviously suppressing his extremely angry feelings.
Xingchi didn't speak, probably because there was a bit of blood flowing, and all that echoed in his head was a buzzing sound.
Seeing Xingchi's silent attitude, the Zhaoming Demon Lord laughed angrily: "I don't want to say more about other things, now I only ask one thing, why do you have to let him fall off the list?" Does this do you any good. ”
"He ......" Xingchi opened his mouth, the dizziness in his head made him feel a little disgusted, and the words that came out sounded a little strange, "He is too much like that person, even if it is not a reincarnation or reincarnation, just that face, the Demon Lord will definitely be affected." ”
"Heh, you mean, you're doing this for me?" The Demon Lord of Zhaoming suddenly stood up from his seat, took two steps forward, and raised his hand to knock Xing Chi who was kneeling in front of him to the ground, "You don't understand anything at all, and you don't have any qualifications to judge the one beside me!" ”
Xingbla tried to get up from the ground, but suddenly tasted a mouthful of fishy sweetness in his throat.
The Demon Lord was really angry, and he was also ruthless. Never been treated like this since the day Starblaze saw him.
"Yunlu, take him to the Blood Hell River. Starting today, you will be temporarily replaced by the left envoy. The Zhaoming Demon Lord flicked his sleeves, turned around and stopped looking at Xing Chi, "Xing Chi, wait until when you think clearly, and when you come out." ”
Yun Lu, who was always standing on one side, looked at the stars on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh when he stretched out his hand to help him up: "Zuo envoy, please." ”
Xing Chi barely stood up, his chest still hurt when he was beaten by the Zhaoming Demon Lord, and he looked at the cold back and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. He never imagined that a dead person would indirectly let him fall to such a point.
At the very bottom of the entire Abyss, the Blood Hell River can only see the endless abyss when you look up from below, and the dark red water is like blood surrounding the central prison, making everyone imprisoned here feel hopeless.
When Xingchi was shackled and put in a lifeless prison, Yunlu, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke: "Don't you understand? Some people are already dead, so he must be more important than the living. ”
"What?" Xing Chi looked at Yun Huang and stopped a little unsteady footsteps, his eyes full of doubts.
Yunlu sighed again: "Let me make an analogy, if one day someone sues the Demon Lord, your life can be exchanged for his master's resurrection, do you think he will hesitate?" ”
“…… No way. Xingbla's face began to turn a little pale, and his hands involuntarily grasped the railing of the cell door.
Yunlu's question was too serious, he didn't ask the Demon Lord if he would agree, but whether he would hesitate. As long as you think about it, you will feel that your heart has sunk into the abyss.
"No, he did. Do you think the current one qiē is what he wants? If there is a chance to go back to the past, let alone you, even the entire Cangying Sect will be handed over. Yunlu looked at Xingchi, whose face was gradually pale, and said calmly, "People, never take yourself too seriously. That's all for yourself. ”
Finally, he glanced at Xing Chi, who was very depressed, and dealt with Yunlu and prepared to leave. After all, he had to be ordered to go to Linglong Pavilion to help the Demon Lord get a return elixir.
The Elixir is a kind of elixir that few people refine, not only because it is difficult to find materials and the refining process is very complicated, but more importantly, because no one would use it under normal circumstances. Its only effect is probably that when entering some low-level secret realms, if one's own cultivation exceeds the limit that the secret realm can bear, one can use this elixir to temporarily suppress the cultivation level, so as to enter these secret realms smoothly.
But recently, I haven't heard of any secret realms or caves to be opened? I don't know what the use of the Demon Lord wants this elixir.
The left envoy of the Cangying Sect was sent into the Blood Hell River, and the Zhaoming Demon Lord also left again after showing his side, and suddenly only the right envoy Yunlu was left to preside over the overall situation. For a while, all the disciples in the sect began to speculate, which made the atmosphere of the Cangying Sect a little weird.
In comparison, Gu Ziyan's recent days in the Taihua Immortal Sect couldn't be more comfortable.
Even Patriarch Qingyuan was relieved after knowing his true identity, and he didn't pursue it anymore, plus he has a heavyweight master like Mo Yong, and a friend like Baizhu to take care of him everywhere, normal people basically don't want to trouble him.
There may be one or two exceptions, such as Su Qiong.
However, Su Qiong, as a disciple of Bailongfeng, even if he was a disciple of his own lineage, he had to be obediently rectified by Baizhu. After all, all the food, clothing, daily life, sect contributions, and other things of the disciples below the Jindan stage in Bailongfeng were in the hands of Baizhu. Su Qiong, who offended Baizhu at the beginning, hasn't even touched the door of the prefecture-level task since she started, and what she receives every day is some thankless low-level tasks, and the whole person is a little grinded.
This little young master from a big family and a smooth journey probably wouldn't have thought that even if he was a personal disciple of the elder, there would always be someone who could control him.
"My master's personal disciples are not a hundred but eighty, but they are not rare at all. My senior brothers are all amiable, how can they be like this guy, they look down on people when they come up. Baizhu snorted lightly, took Gu Ziyan's jade card, and added the reward given by today's sect task, "I'm going to Longwei Peak in a while, will you accompany me?" ”
Gu Ziyan was silent, he also asked Baizhu another thing a while ago, only to know that Baizhu and Lin Chuxia were actually half-brothers and sisters.
As Bai Zhu once said in the Guixu Water Prison, his mother is an outer disciple of the Taihua Immortal Sect, and her qualifications and cultivation are not outstanding, and the only thing that can be remembered is about her gentle and beautiful appearance. Later, Xuanjing became an elder of the outer gate, although Shen Yue had not officially married Xuanjing at that time, Xuanhuai had already promised Xuanjing, and this marriage was decided in private.
However, Baizhu's mother was half forced to be with Xuanjing without knowing it. By the time Xuanhuai officially announced that he would marry his daughter to Xuanjing a few years later, Baizhu was already four or five years old. When this kind of ugly thing was discovered by Xuan Huai, he was naturally angry, but he didn't want to let this matter go out and lose face, so he chose the weakest person in this matter to start.
By the time Baizhu found out that his mother had disappeared for a few days, all the qiē had quietly ended.
Xuan Huai is the law enforcement elder, Canglong Peak is also where the law enforcement hall is located, Baizhu's mother was thrown into the ruins of the water prison, and she didn't survive even three days in the water prison, and then completely disappeared in the ruined water of the ruins.
Shen Yue and Xuanjing's wedding was held as scheduled, and in the midst of the celebration outside, Bai Zhu saw the last bit of his mother's bones, which had not been completely eroded.
This matter is actually not a secret, and people with certain qualifications in the Taihua Immortal Sect know about it. Elder Xuangu, who was also one of the people in the know, "coincidentally" accepted Baizhu as a disciple at that time, otherwise it is estimated that there would be no Baizhu now.
So over the years, Baizhu didn't recognize Xuanjing at all, and now that Xuanjing was killed by Shen Yue, he only sneered, saying that he deserved it.
However, in the current situation, Xuanjing was killed by his wife, Shen Yue was imprisoned for life, and Lin Chuxia was a person who didn't know anything, as Xuanjing's only son, and the disciple of Elder Xuangu, who was in charge of the finishing work of Longwei Peak, Baizhu was inevitably dragged out when Xuanjing was seventh.
"Don't squeak, can you bear to leave me alone with those annoying guys?" Baizhu stuffed the jade plaque into Ziyan's hand, blinked his eyes, and directly pulled him towards the Bailong Peak to lead the platform.
"Okay, but I can't stay too long, I have to go back to Qianhan Peak at night." Gu Ziyan sighed, although he didn't want to see those annoying guys, but since Baizhu opened his mouth, he wouldn't refuse.
"You know, you have a curfew." When Bai Shu said this, there was a bit of banter in his tone, "Mo Yong is Uncle Shi is really attentive to you, I have never heard of a disciple on the peak like you." ”
I don't know if it's because the atractylodes has grown a little bit recently, Gu Ziyan always felt that his eyes had become a little narrow, and even the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he was inexplicably a little cunning when he blinked and smiled.
Gu Ziyan looked helpless, he didn't want to be looked down upon so strictly like a primary school student. But since his true identity was revealed, Mo Yong asked him to go back before midnight every night, and even if he was occasionally absent, Gu Ziyan had to be thrown to the Qingyuan Patriarch in the back mountain, and he was still treated the same.
The sky is above, I really haven't thought about doing anything bad!
