Chapter 436: The backbone of the Drunken Flower Building
After an unexpected crisis of horror and death, the group exited the Midnight Forest in disarray. Then in the red maple forest, Zhang Fengji's body was found.
Zhang Fengji is also a leader among his peers, and although his father is not very good among the nine generations of disciples, he is indeed the confidant of the sect master and has a good status.
It's just that the Ninth Elder is not worried about how to face Zhang Fengji's father's grief and resentment, and what he can't face is the sect master.
The sect master's nephew, Tang Fengxin, died inexplicably in Red Maple City, and he took the initiative to lead a team to investigate the matter and hunt down the murderer.
As long as this errand can be done, on the one hand, he can avenge the nephew of the sect master, on the other hand, he also wants to help the Cloud God Sect get closer to the Divine Court, and the third point is that he can use this matter to step on the Drunken Flower Building, which has been in the limelight in recent years. For the Cloud God Sect, killing three birds with one stone, for his personal ultimate goal, of course, is to win the favor of the sect master and make some contributions.
The reason why he is so positive is only because he has been stuck in the Xuanji Lower Realm for nearly ten years, and in recent years, the cultivation resources in the sect have mainly been left to a few senior brothers who are more hopeful of breaking through the realm, and a large part of them are also tilted to the younger generation of disciples, he always feels that he is only a line away from the Xuanji Middle Realm, as long as he can win some rare pills, there is great hope.
Who knew that before he could find a trace of Guan and the murderer, he was hit so hard and buried the life of a disciple, how could the sect master not be angry.
And... He himself had a broken arm.
In this way, not only will he be physically disabled, but he will undoubtedly affect his Dao heart. Moreover, the sect master will be even more disappointed in him, and the elixir may have become a luxury.
"No, there's hope." The Ninth Elder was sad and frightened in his heart, but then he turned into a kind of madness, and he said to himself in his heart: "As long as you help the Divine Court kill the demon girl of Hua Ming, the Divine Court will definitely be rewarded, and then completely pull the Drunken Flower Building into the water, which is also a great achievement." ”
With this in mind, a dark plan grew inside him.
......
"It seems that the Divine Court Master is not in Red Maple City, I heard that something big happened in the Lan Yin Kingdom in the east. Without the court master in charge, the Divine Court did not dare to enter the Midnight Forest rashly, and the Nine Elders thought about luring Uncle Hua Ming out. In the prison, Lan Anqi frowned slightly, and muttered, "With the lives of the three of us." ”
"How dare they kill us?" A hint of panic flashed on Zixi's delicate face, and she said in disbelief: "How can they be so arrogant and unreasonable, will the Divine Court allow them to do this?" Aren't they afraid of angering us in the Drunken Flower Building? ”
Lan Anqi was silent for a moment and sighed, "I'm afraid this also proves one thing. ”
"What?" Zixi didn't see the problem as thoroughly as Lan Anqi, and she didn't know what Lan Anqi was referring to, so she asked puzzledly: "Could it be that our master doesn't know what happened here?" ”
"I have already sent a letter back to the sect, and the sect master and uncles must know. But it is precisely because of this that we can guess that something must have happened on our master's side, otherwise we have been detained for so long, and they would not have come to meet us. Of course, Lan Anqi was not complaining about the master, he said with a little concern and solemnity in his eyes: "Uncle Hua Ming killed the chief deacon of the Divine Court, and the Divine Court on the southwest side learned of this and must come to the door to ask about the crime." And the reason why the Divine Court acquiesced to the Cloud God Sect to take us under the knife, and no one came to pick us up, I think it was because the master had already clashed with the Divine Court. ”
"Just because Uncle Hua Ming is alone, you want to blame me for the entire Drunken Flower Building? What's more, Uncle Hua Ming was forced. Zixi only felt aggrieved, and her eyes turned red again.
An Yifei, who was lost in his soul, squatted and squatted
In the corner, he sneered, and said with a little resentment in his eyes: "Divine Court, where is the justice and peace in the world, they are just maintaining their authority." When the gods fell silent, they became uneasy, and because of the unrest, they became even more agitated, and could not tolerate the slightest sound of disobedience, and even began to resort to some despicable means..."
"Shut up!" Listening to An Yifei's words, Lan Anqi vigilantly glanced outside the prison and did not let him continue to say these "great rebellion" words. Lan Anqi wanted to scold him, but when he saw An Yifei's depressed appearance, he couldn't help but exhale lightly and said in a low voice: "We are not qualified to say such things yet." ”
Not eligible.
Obviously, Lan Anqi didn't think that what An Yifei said was wrong, but that he was not qualified to say such things.
"That's it, we're not qualified yet." An Yifei bit his lower lip and said hatefully: "But there will always be some qualified people who stand up and give them good looks." ”
"Alright." Lan Anqi interrupted him again, and then sighed softly. He couldn't help but think of the movements of the rebels on the side of Bailuo City a few days ago, and said silently in his heart: "That day won't be too far away." ”
"What can I do now?" Zixi squatted on the ground, clasped his hands on his knees, and muttered with slightly red eyes: "If the Divine Court is jealous of our Drunken Flower Building, refuses to stop us, and lets the people of the Cloud God Sect dispose of us, wouldn't we have to wait for death." Don't... Do you really want Uncle Hua Ming to save us? ”
Lan Anqi also had a heavy face, if Uncle Hua Ming didn't come, they would most likely really be killed by the frenzied Nine Elders, but if Uncle Hua Ming came, would he be able to save them? Lan Anqi was entangled in his heart: "Since they have such a vicious plan, they will definitely be fully prepared to deal with Uncle Shi." ”
An Yifei gritted his teeth and said, "Even if Uncle Shi comes, the Ninth Elder may still kill us." ”
"Then don't come." Zixi smiled dismally and said, "In order to save us, I killed Uncle Shi again..."
"It's all this time, and you're still thinking about that demon girl!" As a sinister voice came, the faces of the three of them changed slightly.
The Ninth Elder walked over with three disciples of the Cloud God Sect, the old man with a broken arm had a gloomy face, with a resentment in his eyes, he looked at the three people in the prison, and said viciously: "The people of your division are also brainless, at this time, don't you hurry up to break off the relationship with the demon girl and help the Divine Court kill her, to prove the innocence of the Drunken Flower Building, but you have to go against the world for a vicious demon girl, not looking for death?" ”
Lan Anqi replied without humility or arrogance: "In the past two months, Uncle Hua Ming has never killed a person in the past two months, if it wasn't for the hard work of the Divine Court, how could she end up like this." ”
"Stupid, are you accusing the Divine Court?" The Ninth Elder sneered: "What is the leader of the younger generation of Drunken Flower Building, what kind of genius who is rare in a hundred years, he can't see the general trend of the world clearly, and he wants to die in a hurry." ”
Lan Anqi calmed down, knowing that there was no point in arguing with him, so he said lightly: "In terms of taking advantage of the trend, our Drunken Flower Building is indeed inferior to the Cloud God Sect. ”
"You young man, I don't know what to do!" The Nine Elders stared at Lan Anqi, their eyes undisguised their murderous intentions, and they forgot all about Lan Anqi's rescue at the last moment in the Midnight Forest.
"I might as well tell you that no one will come to your rescue. The enchantress only dared to hide in the Midnight Forest to survive, like a mouse that could not see the light, she would not run into the sun. If she dares to come out, then I have to thank you. As for your teachers... Heh, the Divine Court in the southwest asked the Drunken Flower Building, but you stupid elders in turn accused the Divine Court of being overbearing, and asked the Divine Court to give an explanation, which is ridiculous
Extremely, such a ridiculous act has already provoked the wrath of the Divine Court. The Nine Elders smiled contemptuously.
Lan Anqi also smiled and said, "Is this stupid and ridiculous? This is the backbone of Zuihualou. ”
"Backbone?" The Ninth Elder was very dissatisfied with Lan Anqi's reaction, gritted his teeth and said, "I hope they can always be so backbone, it won't take too long, and there will be one less small building in the world." ”
"And the Cloud God Sect can ensure the second position in the world, congratulations." Lan Anqi's face was expressionless, even a gentleman like him unceremoniously said restrained and extremely sarcastic words to criticize the other party.
The Ninth Elder was so angry that his face changed, he stretched out a finger from his clenched fist, pointed at Lan Anqi and said, "You guys are such a nasty look, I hope you can be so tough when you add a sword and axe to your body in a while." ”
The Nine Elders waved their hands and shouted: "The disciples of the Drunken Flower Building, Lan Anqi, An Yifei, and Zixi, assisted Hua Ming in causing trouble and fighting against the Divine Court, and they have repeatedly taught and refused. ”
Lan Anqi took a deep breath and closed his eyes; An Yifei's eyes were full of grief, and he laughed nervously; Zixi's eyes were blank, and his mind was blank for a while.
The Nine Elders opened the prison gate, forcibly took out three ropes the thickness of a baby's arm, wrapped in several silver-gray silk threads, and tied the three of them.
These silk threads are a precious special material, and the production process is extremely complicated, which is the same as the iron rope that trapped Jiang Ling in the Northern Qin gladiatorial arena, which can greatly weaken a person's cultivation.
Although the Nine Elders had a broken arm, coupled with the excessive consumption of spiritual power, their strength had decreased a lot, but Lan Anqi and the three were naturally not his opponents, and Lan Anqi did not resist.
He knew there was no point in resisting at this moment.
But seeing that they are about to be executed, no one will come to save them, and it seems useless to keep their strength, it is better to die a heroic death with a broken net.
But Lan Anqi always felt that someone would show up, and someone would be desperate to help them.
"You can be executed, take it with me!" With a wave of his hand, the disciples of the Cloud God Sect pressed them out of the prison, and then handed them over to the soldiers of Red Maple City, and went straight to the western outskirts of the city.
In the past, the executions of prisoners were also in the eastern suburbs, because the west was the ten-mile red maple forest, which was the famous scenery of Red Maple City, and naturally it would not let blood pollute that land. What's more, a little farther away is the Midnight Forest, although it is almost impossible, but if the dead Yin Ghost really wanders there, wouldn't there be another ghost?
But this time, since it was to lead Hua Ming to appear, it was naturally arranged to execute the disciples of Drunken Flower House in the western suburbs.
The Cloud God Sect intended to spread the matter, and the whole city knew about it, but usually those people who liked to watch the excitement, even if it was the excitement of the dead, did not dare to come over.
The captain of the patrol team in charge of executing the condemned prisoners in Red Maple City led fifty soldiers to escort Lan Anqi and the three of them to the western suburbs, plus the nine elders and seven disciples of the Cloud God Sect to supervise and behead.
It was dusk, the sun was setting, and the fire in the sky was red like blood spilled on a light blue silk cloth.
The halo of the remnant sun fell on the walls of Red Maple City, on the ten-mile maple forest that swayed in the wind, and on Lan Anqi's straight body.
Lan Anqi bathed in the sunset, and he was dressed in green clothes, like a straight orchid leaf.
The leaves of other flowers and plants are mostly curved, while the gladiolus is tall and straight, because the veins of other leaves are soft, while the veins of gladiolus are hard, which may be called leaf bones.
That is the backbone of Zuihualou.
