Ye Tao returned to Wuzhi, he didn't see Ziyang in the Guangyun Palace, and when he left, he just went out of the palace gate, and the priest suddenly hurried over, seeing that Ye Tao was a little lonely, his face was pale, and he didn't see any traces of injury on his body, and he was worried and a little puzzled, "Senior brother, your face is extremely bad, where are you injured?"

Ye Tao also came over when he saw the sacrifice, trying his best to show a smiling face, but he couldn't hide his haggard appearance. "It's all a few minor injuries, where is the boss?"

"It's time to go to Merlot now. Senior brother, does it matter if you are injured?"

After saying it first, he was still more worried about Ye Tao's injury, Ye Tao was silent, "Don't worry, you can go and get busy,"

Sai Xian looked guilty and nodded, "Okay, senior brother, you have to pay attention to rest." ”

"Hmm. Ye Tao closed his eyes, the priest walked by first, stepped into the hall, Ye Tao went down the stairs, did not take a few steps, suddenly remembered, in the hall, the three elders were not there, the priest came over at this time, not also for nothing, how confused, forgot to mention it to him.

Moreover, the sacrificial ancestor was in a hurry at this time, maybe there was something urgent, Ye Tao thought about it and turned around, standing outside the hall, before entering the hall, but heard the sacrificial ancestor exclaim incredulously: "Uncle Shi called the disciple here for this?"

Zi You immediately made a silent movement, what he said, Ye Tao couldn't really hear it. I only felt that my brain was buzzing, Ye Tao turned around silently, and went down the stairs again, Zi You was obviously in the hall, just before Ye Tao entered the hall, but he was not seen, what did he say to the priest first?

There were all kinds of illusions in his mind, and Ye Tao didn't know why, he intuitively felt that Zi You shouldn't have seen him because of the Gu curse, but he couldn't think of anything else.

Merlot Xuan, in the back mountain, Ziyang's residence, a loess road, winding, seer arch built with wooden stakes, and a plaque hanging on the arch reads the words "Merlot Xuan".

Entering, the sunlight of the egg yolk sprinkled on the few branches in Merlot Xuan, the birds and birds whispered, and after crossing a stone bridge, it was the house, and there were needles of different sizes growing in front of the house.

In front of the house, there are two "well" shaped floor lamps, and two festive red lanterns are hung under the eaves, and the candlelight is faintly bright.

Ye Tao knelt down on one knee in front of the door, put Qing Ling aside, and clasped his hands into fists, "The disciple came to ask the head of the sect to plead guilty. ”

After a while, the door creaked open, Ziyang was dressed in a gray-white plain shirt, holding a handful of dust in his hand, looking like an ordinary Taoist priest, looking at Ye Tao's expression, his heart suddenly hurt.

"What is the sin?"

"First, I lost the soul box, second, I helped Wan kill to recover Zhao Yi's soul and return to the mountain, and third, I violated the door rules, and I was emotionally attached to the daughter of the Demon Domain. ”

Ye Tao really couldn't bear to wear Zhao Yi in the name of a witch, as soon as these words came out, Ziyang was shocked, slowly walked in front of Ye Tao, squatted down, but Ye Tao didn't dare to look up at him, Ziyang saw that Ye Tao's face was pale, his lips were like a layer of cold ice, his head was lowered, and his heart was as quiet as a lake.

Ziyang helped the person up, "Tao'er, you look at Uncle Shi." ”

Ye Tao hesitated for a long time when he heard this, but Ziyang saw deep despair and pain in his eyes.

"This Gu attack is really painful, Tao'er, you have to calm down and don't move this mortal thought again. ”

Ye Tao finally raised his eyes and nodded, "Senior uncle, disciple, disciple respectfully follow the teachings of senior uncle"

"Everything is done?"

"Alright. Ye Tao nodded again, okay, okay, and absent-minded.

"Then go to Mirror Lake, Uncle Shi needs you to take care of your body,"

Ziyang spoke, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in Ye Tao's eyes, and he immediately nodded, "Disciple obeys." ”

Day 2.

After all the disciples of Wuzhi have morning exercises in Jinyintai, they need to go to the main hall to listen to the morning class, and after the morning class, it should be Ziyang's guidance and a few words, and everyone can go to eat, and there is nothing to do on weekdays, but today, in the dining hall, the disciples exploded the pot, and there was a commotion.

"I heard that the senior brother violated the door rules and was locked up by the master,"

"How is it possible, the three elders obviously love Senior Brother very much, it is impossible to really lock him up, maybe, he is teaching Senior Brother some new spell again. ”

"Eh, you are suspicious of me, I saw the senior brother come out of Merlot Xuan last night, and he went directly to Mirror Lake, and he never came out. ”

"Really, I'm curious about what the big brother has done."

"I'm also curious, Senior Brother usually abides by it, and I don't know what crime he committed this time. ”

“......”

The disciples said a few words, one calmed down and the other rose, even Gao Jinhua's face darkened on the side, and the disciples were still talking.

Gao Jinhua poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking it, he exhaled heavily, and stomped his feet in anger, "Sleep with such a big mouth?"

"Then we'll have to see who saw it with their own eyes?"

Hu Die sat on the side, eating leisurely, but he didn't pay much attention to what the disciples discussed.

"It must be him......"

Gao Jinhua said fiercely, and after that, he got up and grabbed the collar of a disciple, who was the one who said that he had seen Ye Tao come out of Merlot Xuan with his own eyes.

"Teacher, senior sister, what's wrong with you?"

The disciple was dumbfounded, and no one in the week of his companions dared to help him, which would see Gao Jinhua's menacing appearance, and his heart trembled.

"Did you really see Senior Brother locked up by me?"

"I, no, no, oh, no, yes, I really saw it yesterday. ”

The disciple was incoherent, and Gao Jinhua asked again, "Did you see it?"

"See. ”

The disciple quickly responded, and Gao Jinhua asked again: "How could you meet Senior Brother in Merlot Xuan so coincidentally? Besides, I don't know when he came back, how do you know?"

Gao Jinhua's tone was obviously coercive, and everyone around him was quiet, looking at this little junior brother who was grabbed by Gao Jinhua's collar with a pitiful gaze.

"It was the second senior brother who said it. ”

Gao Jinhua's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this, "What did the second senior brother say?"

"Well, the second senior brother said. ”

"Humph!"

Gao Jinhua let go of the disciple and went towards the door by himself, Hu Die looked at the disciple and unexpectedly found that he was also looking at him, Hu Die inadvertently raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, and followed Gao Jinhua away.

Mirror Lake.

Mirror Lake is behind the Guangyun Palace, and it is not an ordinary disciple who can enter and exit at will, the scenery of spring is melted in the five peaks, and this Mirror Lake is indeed a frozen blue lake, standing on the surface of the lake, the ice is biting, it can be seen that under the ice, the lake water flows slowly, flows into the Mirror River, and falls to the fog cliff.

In the center of the mirror lake, there is an octagonal pavilion, carved wood with red lacquer, but unfortunately there is no ornament in it, only a thin layer of wood covered on the ice, in the pavilion, a circular cushion is placed, and Ye Tao is meditating on this cushion.

After all, he entered the five peaks at the age of three, and until now, twenty-two years, the three elders are no longer willing to let him suffer.

Around the mirror lake, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the area is full of greenery, which is not affected by the cold air in the lake in the slightest.

Ye Tao was still breathing, his whole body was covered with a faint purple light, and he appeared and disappeared from time to time, seeing that his expression was calm, like a person who was resting, without pain.

For a moment, Ye Tao concentrated his energy, and all the true qi that flowed was condensed together at once, and luck made it return to the dantian, and a layer of purple light was also at that moment, through the pavilion, showing a beautiful arc, which was fixed above the pavilion, as if adding a purple rainbow to the pavilion.

In the distance, Ziyang and Ziyun both nodded with satisfaction, Ziyang stood with his hands in his hands and looked at Ziyun, "Senior brother, with Tao'er's current skills, in another year and a half, perhaps, it's a pity to consider taking over as the head of the house." ”

Ziyun smiled but didn't say a word.

When Ziyun returned to Tianheju, Ziyang and Ziyou went to the Qingxin Hall again, Ziyang couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw Ziyou's troubled appearance.

"You've been worried since you came back from Mirror Lake, what's wrong?"

Zi You looked at Ziyang with a smile on his lips, and sighed lightly, "Senior brother, you really thought about passing on the position of head to Tao'er, instead of sacrificing the first. ”

When Ziyang heard this, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and he asked rhetorically, "How can you have such an idea?"

Ziyou explained, "Tao'er's ability is undoubted, but, no matter what, the sacrifice is your apprentice, and he is also the second senior brother of Wuzhi, so it stands to reason that he is also suitable for the position of the head of the family, not to mention, senior brother, you are not the top of the position, isn't the senior brother not the head?"

"I also thought about passing on the position of the head of the family to the sacrificial first, but every time I see Tao'er, I always feel that I am too selfish, Tao'er is the most suitable candidate, on qualifications, on mana, Tao'er is above the sacrificial first, these years Tao'er has paid a lot for Wuzhi, almost all the disciples in the door are committed to Tao'er, Tao'er taking over is already a matter of course! ”

"But senior brother, we never asked Tao'er, if he was willing to take this son, you see how long he has broken through Hongjue, and he hasn't broken Zijue until now, I don't think he can't break it, it's that he doesn't want to achieve this breakthrough. Before Zi Jue arrived, he couldn't take over the position of head of the house. ”

"But even if the sect wants to take over as the head of the sect first, hasn't he broken through Zijue?"

Zi You felt that this was also good, the sacrifice did not break Zi Jue, and there was no qualification to compete with Ye Tao, after pondering for a while, Zi You said: "Senior brother, why don't you and my senior brother add fuel to the fire, so that Tao'er and Xian have passed Zi Jue, only in this way, when the time comes, whoever has the will to take over the head will pass it on, if they both have this will, it will be seen who is better of the two, what does the senior brother think?"

Ziyang took a breath and hesitated slightly, "It's not appropriate, right? This matter has to be discussed with Senior Brother, and we must also obey the will of the disciples, but it is not something that the two of us can decide." ”

"But I always feel that it is not appropriate to pass on the position of head to Tao'er, what he has done these days is really unreassuring," Zi Yuchang sighed and shook his head, his face full of hatred and helplessness.

Ziyang raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, what did he do with Zhao Yi?"

"This is no longer an ordinary relationship, senior brother, since he admitted to you, he has already been attracted to the witch, this is a hidden danger. ”

Ziyang was about to agree with Zi You's statement, and thought of Ye Tao's painful look last night, "Anyway, there is no solution to the Gu spell you gave Tao'er, looking at Tao'er's appearance yesterday, I really can't wait for you to give him this Gu." ”

Zi Youyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he was ashamed, "At the beginning, I also thought that Tao'er was my senior brother of Wuzhi, in order to prevent him from violating the door rules, he made such a Gu, and he has never had a seizure since he was a child, but Zhao Yi, the witch, wants to appear, and she has to appear in front of Tao'er." ”

Ziyang couldn't help but sigh with Zi You, and listened to Zi You again: "I will find a way to contact the Gu Spell as soon as possible, I just hope that he, the future head, will not leave any criticism, so that those immortals in the fairy world who like to make trouble will grasp the handle." ”

"Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good is great, Tao'er has admitted his mistakes, you can't mention this matter again. ”

"Senior brother, I understand. As soon as Zi You said this, Zi Yang was a little relieved, but at this moment, Zi You was worried about how to unravel this Gu spell he had placed.

Outside the Qingxin Palace, Gao Jing was already waiting, and when he saw Ziyang and Ziyou coming back, he was entangled.

"Dad, why did you lock up Senior Brother again?"

Gao Jinhua grabbed Ziyang's sleeve, swayed, coquettish, Ziyou on the side turned his head, he couldn't stand it anymore,

"Jinhua, senior brother, this is for Tao'er's good, which disciple did you listen to the gossip of the disciple and come to the Qingxin Hall to mess around?" Zi Youhan said with a smile.

"Where am I messing around, Daddy, you've locked up Senior Brother twice this year. Gao Jinhua complained, muttering.

"Have you copied the Heart Sutra of the Holy Maiden today?" Ziyang asked coldly, Gao Jinhua immediately froze his hand, opened his mouth, and said, "No." ”

"Then what are you still talking about here, and you still don't go?"

"Humph!"

Gao Jinhua pursed his lips and left with a familiar look.
