82. Phantom Array
The Qingcheng faction is located on the Qingcheng Mountain in Shuzhou, which is the most famous Taoist holy place in Daqian, and the disciples in its sect are all real Taoist disciples who are monks and cultivators, and they pay the most attention to self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and have always had an excellent reputation in the rivers and lakes.
Chi Yi walked with Lei Ding, going through all the information about the Qingcheng faction in his mind one by one, and couldn't help but look forward to this trip.
In the original text of the novel, the Qingcheng faction is indeed indifferent to the world, except for the final joint call for all sects to resist the demons, the Qingcheng faction has never participated in anything, and has shrunk in the mountains to practice silently, and its status in the rivers and lakes is very transcendent.
It is precisely because of this that when Xiao Buqing befriended Xuan Qingzi, the head of the Qingcheng faction, he was quickly accepted by the sects in the rivers and lakes, not because of his own strength, everyone looked at Xuan Qingzi's face.
Even the Fairy's curiosity about him at the beginning was because of this.
Chi Yi stood in front of the courtyard where the Qingcheng faction had settled, his eyes crossed over Lei Dingying and Rong beside him, and he couldn't help but show a smile in his eyes.
In the original text, Lei Ding can be regarded as Xiao Buqing's most powerful ally, and after hitting it off with Xiao Buqing, he became Xiao Buqing's hardcore supporter, and has always been a matchmaker for him to make allies. Xiao Buqing was able to meet with Xuan Qingzi, Fairy Splendid and others because Lei Ding came forward and said good things for him. When I first read the novel, Chi Yi felt that this Lei Ding must be true love for Xiao Buqing, otherwise why would he work so hard?
But now I don't know why, Xiao Buqing didn't show up to meet Lei Ding, and the person who was good friends with Lei Ding became him, so since then, a series of plots will change, right? Without Lei Ding's help, can Xiao Buqing still be appreciated by Xuan Qingzi and the blue eyes of the splendid fairy?
"Everyone, please."
These thoughts flashed through Chi Yi's mind, and the disciples of the Qingcheng faction who went in to report had already gone and returned, leading Chi Yi and the three of them towards the courtyard.
Chi Yi retracted these thoughts and walked inward, looking at the scenery in the courtyard along the way, perhaps because this is the residence of the Qingcheng faction, from Chi Yi's point of view, this courtyard is full of Taoist wisdom, and the growth of every grass and tree is in line with yin and yang.
His curious gaze was soon noticed by Lei Ding beside him, Lei Ding glanced at the disciple leading the way in front of him, and lowered his voice and spoke to Chi Yi, "How is it, the scenery here is good, right?" This courtyard is the private property of the Qingcheng faction in the capital, and the Qingcheng faction will settle here every time a martial arts conference is held. ”
Hearing this, Chi Yi nodded to show that he understood, and Yingrong on the side also listened attentively, turned his head at Chi Yi and suddenly said, "Yin and Yang transformation, the five elements are born together, the layout here is really interesting." ”
Her voice was not deliberately lowered, as soon as these words came out, the disciples of the Qingcheng faction who led the way in front heard it, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but stop and turned their heads to look at her in surprise, and said loudly, "This girl has good eyesight, I didn't expect that the girl would also understand Taoist scriptures." ”
Originally, this was a compliment, but there was something wrong with Yingrong's ears. She couldn't help frowning, turned her head and saw Chi Yi looking like she was watching a good show, and immediately settled down and said to the Qingcheng sect disciple, "What this Taoist chief said is so unreasonable, it was said in the Taoist scriptures that heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, and saints are unkind to people as dogs." Heaven and earth have no intention of loving things and let them die by themselves, and saints have no intention of loving the people and let them rest on their own. It can be seen from this that all things and all people are equal in the eyes of heaven and earth, and cultivating the Tao and seeking the truth is naturally something that everyone can do, and there is no difference between men, women, and children, why should the Taoist be so surprised? ”
The disciple didn't expect that he just said casually, and it attracted such aggressive words from Yingrong, he was obviously a person who was not good at words, and he was a little stunned for a while after hearing this, and he didn't know how to respond.
Lei Ding was also a little surprised, he could see from his relationship with Ying Rong in the past few days that although Ying Rong was articulate and lively, he was by no means the kind of person who liked to make trouble, otherwise he would not dare to bring Ying Rong to visit the Qingcheng faction, but I don't know why Ying Rong suddenly said this?
He was about to turn his head to look at Chi Yi and ask Chi Yi to open his mouth to persuade Yingrong, when he heard a burst of laughter coming from the side.
"Hahaha, that's true!"
The four of them looked for prestige, and they saw an old man wearing a gray-blue Taoist robe, with crane hair and a childish face and kind eyebrows, walking towards this side with floating dust. Chi Yi and Yingrong looked at this old man who seemed to be close to the old man, and their eyes showed a hint of caution.
Listening to the words of this old Taoist, he had obviously been standing next to him for a long time, listening to all the words of Yingrong and the little Taoist, but before he laughed out loud, none of them noticed his storage.
This veteran's martial arts are really unfathomable, it seems that the seven major sects on the rivers and lakes are really profound, and they can't be underestimated at all, Chi Yi thought to himself.
"This little friend said it well! Yun Kun, for the sake of the teacher, I have already asked you to read more scriptures, and now you can only be dumbfounded if you can't talk about others, right? Lao Dao stood still in front of the little Taoist, reached out affectionately and patted him on the shoulder, and teased.
"Master" Yunkun Little Taoist listened to his master's words, his face instantly turned red, and after bowing respectfully to the old Taoist, he lowered his head and didn't know what to say.
"Xuanqing Dao Chief!"
Seeing the appearance of this old Taoist, Lei Ding suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and walked two quick steps to salute the old Tao. After listening to Lei Ding's words, Chi Yi realized that the smiling old man in front of him was actually Xuan Qingzi, the head of the Qingcheng faction.
"Yunxiao Palace Chi Yi has seen Xuanqing Dao Chief. The disciples of Fang Cai's disciples were speechless, and they collided with the Dao Chief's high disciples, and asked the Dao Leader not to be surprised. Chi Yi also took a step forward and raised his hand to greet the old man.
"It doesn't matter, it's reasonable." Xuan Qingzi was still smiling, squinted his eyes, raised his hand and smoothed his beard, looked at Ying Rong who was standing behind Chi Yi, and led everyone to continue to move forward with a glance.
"Master, didn't you say that you should let the apprentices come out to greet the guests, why did your old man come out in person again?" As he walked, Yun Kun quickly approached Xuan Qingzi's side and turned his head to ask him.
"I asked you to come out to greet guests, but I couldn't wait for anyone, so I had to come out by myself." Xuan Qingzi glanced at his little apprentice with some playfulness, and Yun Kun's face turned red again. "You don't have to worry, the apprentices in this courtyard have been here several times, and they won't get lost."
"Really?" Xuan Qingzi touched his beard again, laughing without saying a word.
The three of Chi Yi, who were following behind, looked at each other when they heard this, and they really couldn't see that such a mature and steady Yunkun little Taoist would actually have the attribute of a road idiot.
Chi Yicai sighed but found that the Xuanqingzi master and apprentice in front of him had stopped and turned to them. In front of the two of them, where the main hall of the courtyard should have been a small patch of red flowers, it looked very strange.
"Huh? How has this place changed? Lei Ding stopped in surprise, looking at the flowers with eyes full of doubts, "It shouldn't be, this is obvious"
He stopped halfway through his words, turned his head to look at Chi Yi, and the eyes of the two also changed, and they blinked, and the whole person was ready to watch the show.
Chi Yi glanced at him and then raised his eyes to look ahead, and after careful observation, he quickly found the clue, looked back at Yingrong, who was also smiling, and continued to walk towards Xuan Qingzi.
"The two of you are also from my Taoist family, I heard that the Chizhang Sect has been taught by overseas immortals, I don't know how this flower is according to the Chizhang Sect?" Xuan Qingzi watched Chi Yi come over, glanced at the apprentices beside him with a smile, and Yun Kun took a step forward and spoke to Chi Yi.
And so it was.
Chi Yi heard Yun Kun's words, and couldn't help but feel a little funny for a while. This Xuanqing old way is really innocent, and he holds a grudge very much. Fang Caiying tolerated the face of his apprentices, obviously he had already said that he didn't mind, but he still had to come out and tease them like this. However, since this matter was tossed by Yingrong, let Yingrong solve it.
Chi Yi stared at Yun Kun with a smile for a moment, then looked away at Ying Rong, "Flowers and plants are things that I can't understand before, presumably the girls should know more?" ”
Yun Kun was blocked by his words, and received his gaze that seemed to be penetrating, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Xuan Qingzi looked at the appearance of his stupid apprentice from behind, secretly hiding his face and sighing in his heart, and had no choice but to turn his eyes to Yingrong.
Ying Rong laughed, tilted her head and said, "The disciple thinks that this flower is not very beautiful, it is better to remove it." ”
With her words, the girl raised her right hand, and a blue light flowed like a tide down the flowers, instantly enveloping the entire flower. Before Yun Kun could open his mouth to stop it, he saw Ying Rong's hand wave to his side, and the flower bush moved silently, and in the blink of an eye, the position of each flower and tree changed.
"This, this is okay too?"
Lei Ding's tone changed, staring at the flowers in front of him in a daze, watching the delicate flower shapes become illusory little by little, until they disappeared completely, and then in the position of the flowers, a house appeared out of thin air, which was supposed to be the main hall here.
Xuan Qingzi, Yun Kun and Lei Ding looked at Ying Rong in unison, their eyes full of curiosity and surprise.
Xuan Qingzi was the first to speak, "Little girl, why do you know the solution to my Mirage Formation?" ”
When Chi Yi visited the Qingcheng faction, Xiao Buqing, who was thinking about Chi Yi's heart, also came out for a walk.
Ever since the last time he saw Chi Yi in Xishui Garden and recognized that Chi Yi was actually a traverser, he had been in a state of irritability.
When he was in Xishui Garden at that time, he could feel that Chi Yi's martial arts were stronger than him, and with so many people around Chi Yi, Xiao Buqing felt that if he caught Chi Yi's attention, it might be difficult for him to get out. So he could only hide and watch Chi Yi and the others leave.
However, he kept thinking afterwards that he could see Chi Yi's identity, so would Chi Yi know that he was also a traverser?
If he knew, why didn't Chi Yi do it to him? If Chi Yi didn't know that he was also a traverser, could he hide this matter?
Xiao Buqing thought about the jade girl swordsmanship that had been spread in the rivers and lakes, Tianshan folded the plum hand and the nine yin white bone claws, and smiled silently bitterly.
Knowing this, why did he be so high-profile in the first place? What should he do now, how to deal with Chi Yi.
Xiao Buqing thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of a good way.
Chi Yi's own martial arts are strong, his subordinates are numerous, his reputation is excellent, and his power is huge and his foundation is solid.
The more he thought about it, the more irritable he felt, and his heart was full of unwillingness. He felt that his efforts for so many years were a joke, and he had always thought that he had done a good job, but now compared with Ji Yi, he found that he was simply inferior everywhere.
Xiao Buqing stared at the lake in front of him in a daze, and suddenly a quiet fragrance came along with the music, he couldn't help but look up and found that a painting boat was stopping in front of him.
