1111, betrayal
"A pot of rice wine, a plate of green beans." Four orbs were tossed on the counter, dripping and spinning in circles, shimmering in a charming color in the dim light of the tavern.
The bartender picked up the spirit bead, looked at the condition, threw it into the cash cabinet, and showed a professional smile: "Okay, guest officer, wait a minute." ”
The monk, dressed in plain robes, leaned against the counter, pulled over a high stool, and sat down.
He was of medium stature, of thin build, with a half-worn black cloak on the outside, and his face was not visible without his hat removed. The voice is low and a little hoarse.
This dusty appearance looks like an ordinary monk begging for a living in the Canglan Mountains.
The Canglan Mountains are a mountain range in the south of the Mingchen Realm. The mountains here are deep and dense, the spiritual veins are average, and there are no large forces. Under the circumstance that the good spiritual veins were all divided, the Canglan Mountains gathered a group of scattered cultivators, hunting beasts, collecting medicines, and fighting for their dreams.
Dichen Station is such a post house located at the entrance of the Canglan Mountains and receiving loose repairs. The place is not big, but it gathers inns, taverns, pharmacies, refining shops, grocery stores, etc., although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs.
Many casual cultivators enter the Canglan Mountains for adventures, and after they come out, they sell their things to the nearest dust cleaning station, rest for a while, and continue to enter the mountains.
The Canglan Mountains are located in the middle of nowhere, and although the price of things will be lowered when they are sold to the Dust Cleaning Station, they would rather suffer this small loss than the time wasted leaving the Canglan Mountains.
"Guest, your wine."
A small pot of rice wine, coupled with fried green beans, is a little shabby, but it is a must-have diet for the casual cultivators of the Cleansing Station.
The mountain breeze is cold, whether it is rice wine or green beans, you can warm up, and it is so cheap that everyone can afford it.
The plain and black-robed monk casually leaned against the counter, poured himself a glass of wine, picked up a few green beans, and threw them into his mouth.
He half-turned, sipping green beans as he glanced at the tavern lobby.
The tavern was the place where the news was transmitted, and it was here that the monks, who had gone into the mountains, were looking for companions. Sometimes, some valuable news can be bought here. For example, a certain spirit grass appears in a certain place, and a certain demon beast appears in a certain place. These messages can make the monks who enter the mountain twice the result with half the effort.
The plain and black-robed monk tapped lightly on the counter, drinking and eating green beans, as he glanced at the tavern guests, as if trying to find something of value among them.
He was watching others, and others were watching him.
He drank the last bit of rice wine and left the tavern, followed by someone behind him.
Walk through the narrow streets, and behind you is the entrance to the Canglan Mountains.
The man followed him, skirted a small hill, and suddenly lost track of him.
A sharp sword fell from above, and this person jumped in time to dodge the sword.
The plain-clothed monk stood on the top, looking at him condescendingly, the spirit sword in his hand swallowing cold light.
"Your Excellency, don't misunderstand!" The man shouted in time, "There is no hostility down there." ”
The monk did not move, and his hand holding the sword was always steady.
The tall man had no choice but to hurriedly say: "I just see that Your Excellency has a calm breath and should be in good hands, so let's try to see if you want to invite Your Excellency to join the team." ”
"Oh?" The plain monk's voice was hoarse and indifferent, "So, have I passed the test?" ”
Half an hour later, in the inn of the Dust Cleansing Station, the plain-clothed monk took off his cloak, revealing a pale and delicate face.
The stalker, known as Chang Qian, stared at him in surprise. The shot is fast and ruthless, the sword light is like a poisonous snake, the style is so ruthless and cold, but he has such a delicate and weak face, it is really incompatible.
This plain-clothed monk is self-indulgent.
After Liu Lian died with her classmates, she took Liu Lian's relics and flew away.
On that silk silk, Liu Lian recorded her life experience.
She was originally a disciple of a sect called Feixian Palace. Don't look at the name of Feixian Palace, in fact, the highest cultivation is only in the foundation building period, and it is worthy of the name of the small sect among the small sects.
The head of Feixian Palace is Liu Lian's ancestor, Hengshan Zhenren. Liu Lian's master, Liu Shiping, was originally the most qualified disciple under Hengshan Zhenren, and his cultivation progress far surpassed that of his fellow disciples, and he was highly valued by Hengshan Zhenren.
In the entire Feixian Palace, only Hengshan Zhenren is in the late stage of foundation building, and several major disciples range from the early or middle stage of foundation building, and the disciples and grandchildren are not very old, only in the qi refining period.
Liu Shiping has good qualifications and good luck. When he traveled away from the mountains, he encountered a great opportunity, and rushed from the middle to the late stage in one fell swoop. And that chance is very likely to make him enter the Dan period.
It stands to reason that there is such a disciple, and Yokoyama Zhenren only has the share of joy. If someone in the Flying Immortal Palace reaches the stage of attaining the Dan stage and his status is greatly improved, maybe he will have the opportunity to develop into a middle sect.
However, the brothers who were originally jealous of Liu Shiping joined forces and provoked in front of Hengshan Zhenren, and things changed.
Yokoyama himself is also in the late stage of foundation building, and has always dreamed of being able to get married. Several disciples jointly provoked, and his selfishness moved. A disciple's knot is not as good as his own knot, isn't it?
As a result, Liu Shiping was charged with "uniting outsiders and eating inside and outside", and was cleaned up by Hengshan Zhenren. And the treasure he obtained naturally belonged to Yokoyama Zhenren.
Liu Lian was faintly aware of this matter, she was adopted by Liu Shiping since she was a child, and she is also a master and a father, and I believe that the master will not do such a thing. She endured it, investigated for more than three years, and finally had an eyebrow.
At this time, Liu Lian's behavior was noticed, and in the disciple competition, he was seriously injured by his rival senior brother Yan Xi.
Liu Lian found that the Feixian Palace could no longer stay, so he escaped overnight, and was intercepted by several fellow disciples halfway, and his appearance was ruined.
Liu Lian left with hatred, and finally failed to take revenge, so he had to hand over this wish to Huaisu.
Huai Su went away, and in an unknown small place on the way, he sold all the things of Liu Lian and others and exchanged them for spirit stones.
Feixian Palace is just a small sect, and Hengshan Zhenren has not married Dan until now, she has not left a single thing, and she has cut off all the clues, and it is expected that they have no ability to track down her cunning.
Liu Lian and the others are not wealthy, but so many people's things are owned by her alone, and the sum is not less.
The more than 1,000 spirit stones that those things were exchanged for supported Huaisu through the most difficult early stage. In five years, she traveled all over the world, and when there were only more than a hundred spirit stones left, she arrived in the Canglan Mountain Range, and her own cultivation had also reached the seventh level of qi refining.
In the past five years, she has worked hard to make money while cultivating hard. With the comparison of the exercises left by Liu Lian, Huai Su finally understood the immortal recipe that harmed Danxiaoguan and destroyed the door - it was actually just a basic exercise.
It's funny for Huaisu to think of this, Danxiaoguan was actually destroyed for such a reason.
Five years have passed, and Huaisu is no longer the little monk who was full of hatred but had little strength.
In the past five years, she has encountered a lot of things and experienced many ups and downs, which has given her a more tenacious will and stronger strength than her fellow cultivators.
Joining Chang Qian's team, Huaisu stopped in the Canglan Mountains.
Chang Qian Chang Ji is a pair of brother and sister, they are the same as the thousands of scattered cultivators in the Ming Dust Realm, they come from the world. When they were young, they had the opportunity to go to a sect to take an entrance test, but neither of them had high qualifications and could not pass Guò. They were unwilling to go back like this, so they exhausted their family wealth, bought a low-level exercise, and became a casual cultivator.
They have been in the Canglan Mountains for almost ten years, and they have survived the hardest days, and they are currently mixing well.
Chang Qian refining gas eight layers, Chang Ji refining gas seven layers, in the dust cleaning station a little famous.
The two of them are not very strong, but Chang Qian is easy-going and good at communication, and he is a good team leader, and Chang Ji has a cautious personality and is observant. The team of their brothers and sisters always returns safely from hunting beasts.
A safe team like this is very popular in the Dust Cleaning Station, but Chang Qian and Chang Ji are very careful in selecting their team members and never invite others to join the team casually.
Invite Huaisu this time, and their brother and sister have been observing for several days.
The Dust Cleaner Station is not a completely safe place, there are rules here, but there are no law enforcers on the surface. As long as the butt is wiped clean, no one will be held accountable for being a traitor here. A solitary monk like Waisu is a great target for some.
The first time Chang Qian met Huaisu, it was the moment when she became a target. Calm sword, ruthless style, simply and neatly turn defeat into victory.
Just like this, Chang Qian wouldn't consider pulling her into the gang. As a team, they pay attention to safety, and their strength is not the only one.
The second time she met Huaisu, it was when she happened to come across the scene of the robbery. Huai Su just glanced at it coldly, and walked past the lone man who was dying and turned defeat into victory.
At that time, Chang Qiancai felt that maybe she could become her own team member.
is such a moment suitable for sitting on the fisherman's profits, she is not tempted, which shows that she is not a mercenary person.
Chang Qian stared at her for several days, and finally decided to make a move and pull her into the team.
followed the Chang brothers and sisters on two missions, and Huaisu was very satisfied with them. The strength is not weak, the command ability is also strong, the style of action is calm, and most importantly, their brother and sister have a good reputation.
Unknowingly, Huaisu stayed in the Canglan Mountains for five years.
In five years, she rushed from the seventh layer of qi refining to the ninth layer of qi refining.
For some sect disciples, this speed is very slow, but in the middle of casual cultivation, it can be called a young talent. Huaisu gradually became famous in the Canglan Mountains, and many monks of the same rank knew that there was such a master here.
It was a pleasure to work with the Chang siblings, and she stayed in their squad. For five years, teammates have come and gone, but Huaisu has never left.
After a long time, she and the Chang brothers and sisters have cultivated a good friendship.
"When we come back from the mountain this time, our brother and sister are leaving."
In the tavern, Huaisu was drinking rice wine, and was casually scanning the people in the tavern, when he suddenly heard Chang Qian's words.
"What?" She pulled her attention back, "Where are you going?" ”
Tsuneyoshi sat quietly and poured them wine. Unlike the tall and strong Tsuneki, Tsuneyoshi is a petite woman.
"Go home." Chang Qian said.
"Home?" Huaisu repeated these two words slowly.
"Our brother and sister are not young." Chang Qian sighed and said, "It's okay for me, Aji should find a mother-in-law." ”
Chang Qian and Chang Ji have been away for more than 20 years, and now they are almost forty. At this age, for mortals, it is enough to be a grandfather and grandmother, but for monks, it is the time to fight.
"Mother-in-law?" Huaisu wrung his eyebrows, "Since you seek immortal Taoism, what kind of in-laws are you talking about?" ”
Chang Qian's words, Huaisu couldn't understand. When their brother and sister embarked on this road, they should have understood this. When a monk meets a person who is in love, he can become a Taoist couple, and there is no need to get married and have children because of the world.
"Brother, what are you talking nonsense?" Chang Ji glared at Chang Qian and said to Huai Su, "Actually, our brother and sister want to settle down." We have also been fighting in the Canglan Mountains for more than ten years, and now our cultivation is getting slower and slower. In the past five years, Huai Su, you have gone from the seventh layer to the ninth layer of qi refining, and now you have gone to the tenth layer, but our brothers and sisters have not been able to advance to the level. Alas, to be honest, we feel quite uncomfortable. ”
"So what?" Huaisu slowly raised his eyebrows, "Because I hit you, so you want to give up and go back to your hometown?" ”
Her words were a little sharp, Chang Ji smiled, disappreciating: "There is such a reason." Another reason is that our brother and sister have discussed it and feel that being in one place for a long time may unknowingly enter a bottleneck period, so we want to change the environment. It may not be impossible to cultivate when you return to your hometown, and you may be able to create a career. ”
Huaisu thought for a while, nodded slowly, and agreed with Chang Ji's words.
Before going home, Chang Qian decided to make a big order.
He inquired about the location of the lair of a demon beast that had just broken through the foundation, and invited a few masters to hunt beasts at the next level.
This is very dangerous, but, the demon beast that has just built the foundation, the strength is not stable, and if it is arranged, the probability of success is more than sixty percent.
If this one is successful, everyone can get a large amount of spirit stones-a demon beast in the foundation building period, if the body is intact, it can be sold for thousands of spirit stones, and if there is a Neidan, the price will be even higher.
Of course Waisu went. She is in the Canglan Mountains and has always been known for her boldness.
The group entered the lì lì into the lair of the demon beast, and after a bitter fight, the demon beast was killed, and each of them was injured.
Waisu staggered to his feet and went to collect the loot.
Everyone else was seriously injured, but she was the only one who had spare strength.
There was a strong wind behind her, and she was on one side in time, and her arm was in sharp pain.
Blood poured out, staining half of his arm red.
Waisu flashed quickly, hiding behind a stone wall.
She looked up and saw that the one holding the hidden weapon box in her hand was Chang Qian!
"Brother Chang?" She spoke slowly, her tone so flat that there was no hatred, only doubt.
"What a quick response." Tsuneyoshi sighed and stepped forward.
Obviously, her and Chang Qian's injuries were not as serious as those of the table.
"Why?" Waisu asked.
Chang Ji smiled faintly: "Huaisu, don't blame us, someone paid for your life." ”
Huai Su Muran. The Chang brothers and sisters have been in the dust cleaning station for more than ten years, with a good reputation, and they have never had a black history of attacking their teammates, but they didn't expect to break the merit in her.
"How much?" She asked. How much is it worth for them to smash their own signboards? How much is it worth them...... Betraying this friendship? R1152
