He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his voice was resolute, "According to the rules of the alliance, where there are elders and immortals, all disciples must kneel in the main hall for a whole day to show respect for the elders. And Hua Lingqiu took advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the back mountain and found the gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the secret cave, some of which were still covered with soil, so he was sure that this was a treasure dug up privately. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Ziya suddenly looked at Qi Weinan, "You should all know what it means to find a batch of treasures dug out of the soil." ”

He didn't wait for Qi Weinan to answer, so he continued to ask and answer himself.

"After the current ruler succeeded to the throne, he promulgated a state rule that private excavation of jewelry was not allowed, and if it was accidentally excavated, it also needed to be reported to the state in time and handed over to the state for disposal. But the result is obvious, what is hidden in the secret cave is what the elders dug up privately, and they have committed a national crime. ”

Feng Ziya sighed, not knowing whether he was lamenting the confusion of the elders, or lamenting the defeat of the Moon Sky Alliance.

"So, Hua Lingqiu quietly passed the document to his uncle, who was an official in Suiyang, and his uncle flew a pigeon to pass the book to the lord of the country, this process only took two days, and two days later, the tranquility of the Moon Sky Alliance was completely broken."

His tail note dragged on for a long time, sounding like he was drunk, but Qi Weinan knew that he was more sober than anyone else.

"When the lord of the country learned about it, he was furious, and first sent Suiyang officials to surround the Moon Sky Alliance, and then sent people to rush to the Moon Sky Alliance in the shortest possible time, and under the leadership of Hua Lingqiu, he found out the boxes of gold and silver treasures hidden in the secret cave."

Hearing this, the worry in Qi Weinan's heart became a little stronger, and he interrupted him without waiting for Feng Ziya to finish speaking.

"What about my master! Is it the master who was also captured by them! Where is he now! ”

I saw her leap to the cage with an arrow, her hands tightly gripping the iron rod, eager to pull it away.

"Don't get excited, listen to me." Feng Ziya hurriedly stepped forward, "After the Second Elder and the Fourth Elder confessed to the fact of hiding gold, the Imperial Army found your master and arrested him in the Moon Sky Alliance, and in a few days...... The Imperial Army will then take the three of them back to Wu'an City and be punished by the lord of the country......"

"Master......" Qi Weinan stumbled and sat on the ground, "Where is he being held?" I'm going out to save him! ”

Feng Ziya pursed his lips and let out a long breath, his eyebrows drooping and staring straight at his toes.

"The elders are held in a snow cell, which can only be opened with a key, and although I want to rescue them, like you, I can't."

Unexpectedly, his words angered Qi Weinan, "Don't think that the master didn't hear the conversation between the leader surnamed Pang and you, he called you an elder, and said that you are the person who the lord of the country cares about!" Feng Ziya, I think this whistleblower is not Hua Lingqiu, but you! Otherwise, how would you have climbed to this position! ”

In her anger, she picked up a small pebble on the ground and threw it at Feng Ziya, and he didn't dodge, but stood straight and straight in place, and hit her with a stone.

"Why don't you hide ......"

When Feng Ziya heard the sound, he raised his head, only to see that the corner of his forehead had been smashed by a stone.

"If I take a stone from you and can make you angry, then I am willing." As he spoke, he turned his back away, "I have my own troubles, not as you think. ”

Feng Ziya turned sideways, looking at the boundless darkness, his lips trembling.

"According to the national rules, 'Anyone who conceals the report and embezzles it will be punished by the Nine Clans, and even sit down', which means that the disciples of the entire Moon Sky Alliance will be killed!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned around, blushed and roared, "I'm not afraid of death, but I can't bear to watch so many brothers and sisters in the alliance die innocently and tragically!" Thereupon...... I made a deal with them. ”

When Qi Weinan heard this, he interrupted him angrily, and his eyes were dumbfounded.

"What deal?!"

"Lifespan."

Feng Ziya lightly spit out two words from his lips and teeth, but these two words made Qi Weinan's eyebrows tighten for three points, and there was more exploration in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

Feng Ziya's throat rolled up and down twice, his eyes glanced at Qi Weinan's surprised face, and replied.

"After the arrival of the Imperial Army, they were about to start a massacre without saying a word, and the disciples in the alliance also took up their own weapons, intending to fight them in a bloody battle. But I know that even if we can really defeat the Imperial Army today, we will still be suppressed tomorrow, because as long as we are still in Ningyun's country, we will not be able to escape the sanctions of the country lord. So, I took out the chips and made a deal with them. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a ceramic medicine bottle from his bosom, pinched it with his fingers and shook it from side to side, making a collision sound.

"This contains the pill I refined, and it is also a panacea that can prolong people's lives."

Feng Ziya paused, and exhaled a sigh of relief, "The pill I have refined cannot make people immortal, but it can also be done by prolonging life for decades." However, they questioned the medicinal properties of the elixir, and did not agree for a while, but they did not massacre the disciples of the alliance, but imprisoned everyone, took me back to the national capital, and met the lord of the country. ”

As he spoke, he took out a pill, only to see that its body bloomed with a golden luster, embellishing the darkness.

However, Feng Ziya quickly took the pill back again, which showed that he was very strict about this matter, and he said in a steady tone.

"I was brought back by the crown prince and Pang Yang, and after meeting the lord of the country, I proved to them the medicinal properties of the pill."

"How did you prove it?" Qi Weinan asked rhetorically, Feng Ziya heard the sound and smiled silently.

"It's very simple, I asked them to find a dying man, and gave that person a pill, and after the hour of half a pillar of incense passed, the man's face gradually became ruddy and angry. Subsequently, after being seen by the imperial doctor, it was found that his own tuberculosis had been cured and his physical signs had fully recovered. As a result, the lord of the country believed me, and not only promised me to spare the lives of innocent people, but also kept the Moon Sky Alliance, and made me the elder of the Moon Sky Alliance. ”

When Feng Ziya said this, he sniffed, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"But...... No matter how much I tried to spare the private sins committed by the elders, the lord of the kingdom would not let them go, because I was powerless and could not save them. And the lord of the country also gave an order, if I dare to think crookedly and secretly rescue the elders, at that time, he will not only want the lives of the disciples of the Moon Sky Alliance, but also the lives of the entire people of Suiyang! So, that's why I couldn't rescue the elders. ”

After his explanation, Qi Weinan roughly figured out the reason, but he didn't fully believe what Feng Ziya said, after all, there were too many strange things.

Let's not talk about whether Hua Lingqiu's whistleblower is true, just take the pill that he refined, which can make people immortal, it is a realm that many alchemists can't reach even after exhausting their lifelong cultivation.

But a little Taoist priest who had just turned twenty in his Fengziya could refine such an elixir?

It's just unpredictable.

However, Qi Weinan did not express the doubts in his heart, but pretended to choose to believe it.

"I see, I misunderstood you." Qi Weinan pondered for a moment, "Don't blame yourself too much, after all, you still saved so many innocent lives, maybe ...... It's all at a price. ”

Feng Ziya raised his head and smiled bitterly a few times, but did not answer her words, and at the same time, there was a sound of doors opening at the end of the corridor, shooting in a few dazzling rays of light.

Feng Ziya raised his hand to cover the dazzling light, half-squinted his eyes to see the two figures at the door, turned sideways and whispered to the people in the cell, "They only gave me time for a cup of tea, this time is up, I have to go." ”

Immediately, he took a step, but after only a few steps, he stood on his feet and whispered to Qi Weinan, "Don't worry, I will save you." ”

Although Feng Ziya's voice was very low, Qi Weinan heard it clearly.

She kept lying on the iron rod, watching the wind leave, until his figure merged with the light beam in the gap, and she didn't turn back until the whole cell was covered in darkness again.

Qi Weinan only felt that the person in the distance had some unfamiliar smell on his body, but he couldn't say it.
