Chapter 21: The Pursuers
Xuanjing's hand stopped in the air. "Master, what's wrong?" Before he could finish asking, he saw something pink flying out of the charred corpse, more and more, flashing light, and then gathering together to form the appearance of Zezhi.
Zezhi bowed to He Xiangu and said, "Thank you Immortal Gu for your help, let me cross the immortal." ”
He Xiangu nodded with satisfaction and said, "I am already responsible for governing the world and living a life, not to mention being entrusted by others. However, you still need to consolidate the Immortal Dao, so go back with me now and cultivate under my sect. ”
Zezhi bowed and said, "Yes." ”
He Xiangu stretched out his hand, and Zezhi turned into a lotus flower and flew into He Xiangu's hand.
The fairy girl placed one hand on it, and took out a pink mass from it, like a liquid and a gas, without a fixed shape.
He Xiangu put it into a small bottle, and then took the lotus flower and flew away.
"Congratulations to the fairy girl."
Behind him was Xuanjing and others bidding farewell.
When they got up, they found that the scorched black pool was gone, but the flowers were no longer in full bloom, and the water was not as clear as before, and since then there have been few cold lotuses in winter.
"No one noticed such a big movement just now, it should be He Xiangu who is here in the enchantment. The original aura of this lotus pond was absorbed by the immortals, and now that there are fewer immortals, the pool has become ordinary. Oh, I'm so tired, let's go. ”
Xuan Xi said, lifting his own breath and leaving with light work.
Winter has arrived, especially in the mountains at night, the temperature is even lower, but Yueming only wears a single coat every time she is taken out by the Scarlet Spirit.
That night, the day of the new moon, the sky was dark.
Scarlet Ling has passed on all the piano techniques of "Taiguang Pingyi" to Yueming, and she asked Yueming to play it for her.
Yueming's teeth trembled from the cold, and his hands didn't obey the call, so he naturally couldn't play well, which caused a stinking scolding from Scarlet Ling.
This was a bright light suddenly in the sky, and the scarlet spirit ran away alertly.
Yueming didn't know what was going on, and she didn't dare to leave, so she had to stay where she was.
She was so cold that she curled up, snorting and inhaling, and suddenly remembered the breathing method that Xingxi had taught her, so she sat down and spit it out according to that method.
Suddenly, Yueming felt that his qi was born from the dantian, walked up to his chest, then went to both sides, until his fingers were withdrawn, then flowed to the soles of his feet, and finally returned to the dantian.
Exhaled in one breath, Yueming actually felt refreshed, and his body was not so cold, so he continued to breathe through his whole body.
Scarlet Spirit was in a room at this time, sitting alone on the bed with his back to her.
"It's so late, you shouldn't be here with me."
The seated man said slowly, like in a dream.
"They seem to be chasing after them."
"I saw their fireworks. ”
"You should go back to Taiqing Palace, they don't dare to touch you."
The man said.
Scarlet Ling looked at the back for a long time and said, "Yes." ”
Turning around, there was a gloom in his eyes.
The head of Xuanyuan, who was sitting on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, without any expression.
The dark tide of Taiqing Palace was surging at this time.
"Senior brother, there is an enchantment here, what should I do?"
A small Taoist priest in a silver robe asked.
"We have to go in if we break in, we have received reliable news that the thief has returned to the Taiqing Palace, and the things are also set in the Taiqing Palace. Catch the thief and get it back, or you won't have to go back to see the master! ”
A Taoist priest who seemed to be the leader said.
"Yes!"
Behind him, a crowd waited.
"Master, Master, it's not good, someone is coming to attack!"
The sky flew to the head of Changming's house.
"What's going on?"
Changming opened his eyes.
"It's from Maoshan!"
Changkong said, "Come and catch the thief." ”
Outside the main hall of Taiqing Palace, there was already a bright light, and the two parties were facing each other tensely.
The head of Changming led a group of disciples to come, and said loudly: "Maoshan Taoist friends visit late at night, and the poor road is far away!" ”
"I am Yang Yi, the great disciple of Maoshan Mountain, I came today to catch the traitor of the sect, if the Taiqing Palace hands over that thief, we will leave immediately!"
Maoshan Taoist priest shouted.
"Why did you people from Maoshan come to our Taiqing Palace? You must be mistaken. ”
Changming said unhurriedly.
"Don't pretend to be confused! We got the news that the girl went up to Laoshan Mountain and entered the Taiqing Palace, and she was the person you sent with the mountain. ”
Maoshan Taoist priest said.
Everyone understands this talk, there is only one female disciple, that is, Scarlet Ling, and she only returned to the mountain soon, and somehow got involved with the people of Maoshan.
However, when they heard that they were stealing, the disciples of the Suishan Sect became angry, which was an insult to their cultivators, and some disciples asked unconvinced: "Don't speak so ugly, who is the thief?" What did you steal? ”
Only the face of the head of Changming was not good-looking, and his hand reached into his sleeve and touched the jade talisman.
"This must have been a misunderstanding."
The head of Changming said, taking out the jade talisman, "This is what I got by accident when I went down the mountain, I have put it away, and I am preparing to return it to your faction in the near future." ”
After saying that, the jade talisman flew towards the Maoshan disciples.
The Maoshan disciple took a look and said, "It's the Zhenxin Talisman!" Sure enough, it is the treasure of our town. Okay, we kind of understand, that girl turned out to be your apprentice, and you deliberately let her sneak into our faction to steal treasures, it's really despicable and dirty! ”
Zhenxin Fu is one of the four treasures of the Maoshan faction.
"How do you talk!"
Drink in the sky.
"Is there any misunderstanding about this? You've already admitted it. Hand it over, and what else did you take? ”
The Maoshan disciple smiled contemptuously.
"What else? Without. ”
"It's really shameless, the dignified Suishan faction actually stole the treasures of our Maoshan faction."
"You deceive people too much!"
Changkong said.
"You don't admit it, do you? Okay, then you have to admit it! ”
After the Maoshan disciple finished speaking, he left.
Chang Ming's face was gloomy when he saw them leave, and he turned to leave.
Changkong said: "Their words don't look like a threat to anger, although they leave now, I'm afraid the matter is not over yet." ”
Changfeng stood aside and looked at Changkong's side face, saying nothing.
"Senior brother, what should I do? Now we can't wash it even if we jump into the Yellow River. Even if they don't have a crime, they can be detained, doesn't that let them blackmail at will? ”
The little disciples looked at the sky with worried expressions.
The head of Changming walked to the relief cave.
He has always wanted to avoid accidents, and he has been careful all these years, but something still happened.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
"I've got it for you."
"You know, you'll be safer if you leave it to me."
"That's why I gave it to you in the first place, grandpa."
There was silence for a while, and the two men were in the dark, each with their own thoughts.
A hint of ridicule crossed the corner of Scarlet Ling's mouth, and sure enough, he could only hold on for a while, and once the things were handed over, he was afraid that he would be worthless.
Just like for him, I originally thought I was different, but I didn't expect to overestimate myself.
Of course it can't be so cheap.
The Maoshan faction is not a good person, how can they let them take back what they got their hands on.
Now it's time to make plans.
It is no longer advisable to stay here.
Although Changming doesn't know how to do anything, according to his upright personality, if he insists on not taking out things, he is likely to be unable to resist in the end and hand her over to the Maoshan faction.
At this time, you should go to Mingxia Palace as much as possible, but you can't just go like that.
Scarlet Ling's eyes rolled, there was no time now, she suddenly thought of a person, this person should be the most suitable.
She thought, tearing off the cover of the book.
Although the people of Maoshan have withdrawn from the surroundings of the Taiqing Palace, they are still hiding in Laoshan Mountain.
"Did someone over there hear from you? What do we do now? ”
"It's here, but told us to go back first, saying that it seems that Changming Lao Dao is unwilling to hand over that girl, and we are not the opponents of the Suishan faction now."
"No! Never go back! ”
The crowd unanimously objected.
"How can this work, grow the morale of others! In my opinion, it's better for us to attack it all at once. ”
"Senior brother, you come to get an idea, what should I do!"
Yang Yi pondered for a while and said: "Just like this, I only brought back the Zhenxin Talisman, and I can't see the "Shangqing Dadong True Scripture", how to explain it to the elders in charge." But we must not act blindly, and we must take a long-term view. ”
