The flight from Urumqi to Xi'an takes three hours to arrive.

After the plane landed at Xianyang Airport, we walked out, Wang Yijian took a deep breath and said: "I seem to have smelled the breath of Zhongnan Mountain, this is the first time I have gone down the mountain since I went up the mountain, which has benefited me a lot, this time, I have to thank you, junior brother." ”

I smiled and said, "Thank you for what I did?" I should say thank you, if it weren't for you, maybe I would have died. It's not early, and we can't go back, so it's better to stay for one night now and go back to Zhongnanshan early tomorrow morning. ”

Wang Yijian agreed, we went to the city to find a hotel to stay, the trip to the Western Regions, the Nine Heavens Mirror was not found, it is a pity, but this time the ghost-faced man did not follow him, but I was very surprised.

The first few times I went, it seemed that the Ghost-faced Man was watching me, but this time, only when I was in Snake Valley, Old Demon Chen appeared, and the Ghost-faced Man never showed up, and I don't know what conspiracy he was planning.

After a night of nothing, early the next morning, we took a car from Xi'an back to Zhongnan Mountain.

After passing through the small village at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, feeling the simplicity of these villagers, my whole person has become a lot calmer, the mountain behind Zhongnan Mountain, the stone tablet of Taishang Xuanmen is still standing under the mountain, I walked to the bottom of the mountain with Wang Yijian, looked at this stone tablet, and immediately knelt down.

Ninety-nine steps of Qingyun Ladder, we walked back step by step, and when we arrived at Zhongnan Mountain, I once again changed my appearance to Ling Xiao, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

This Taoist holy place, as soon as you walk in, you can make people feel peaceful, even the air is full of Taoist aura, along the way, I met a lot of brothers and sisters of the Quanzhen Sect, and when we saw the two of us coming back, we gathered around one after another.

"It's Senior Brother Ling Jian and Senior Brother Ling Xiao who are back, everyone come and see." When the little Taoist boy who was guarding the door saw us, he immediately said happily in the Taoist temple.

I touched Xiao Daotong's head and said, "During the time that the senior brothers left, did you follow the master to cultivate the Tao?" ”

Xiao Daotong said: "Senior Brother Lingxiao, don't worry, I will definitely become a strong man like you in the future, acting chivalrous and righteous, hoeing the strong and helping the weak." ”

Wang Yijian and I went directly to the Taoist temple where the real person of the sect was located, and stood at the door, and the two of them said respectfully: "Disciple Ling Xiao, Ling Jian, meet the real person of the sect." ”

The voice of Daoxu Zhenren came out of the room and said: "In the past few days, I have seen two more hydrangeas blooming outside the room, and I thought that maybe you are coming back, but it is really fast, come in quickly." ”

With the words of Dao Xuzhen, the door of the room automatically opened, and Wang Yijian and I walked in, while Xiaomei and Xiaodouzi settled them in Senior Brother Luo Houde.

Daoxu Zhenren still sat on the futon with the appearance of a fairy wind and Dao bones, with his eyes closed, I bowed to Wang Yijian, sat cross-legged on the futon in front of him, and said: "The disciple has failed to live up to the trust of the real person in charge of the sect, and he failed to find Senior Brother Long, so he came back to ask for his guilt." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren slowly opened his eyes and said: "Long Xuan should have this calamity, and it is normal that he can't find it before he can lift this calamity." Let's talk about it, what have you seen and heard during this time, I see that Ling Jian's aura is stable, and he must have reached the half-step Transformation God Realm, it seems that this trip is not in vain. ”

Wang Yijian said: "Thank you for the teachings of the real person in charge, the disciple was lucky enough to break through the shackles and enter the half-step Transformation God Realm, and entering the Transformation God Realm is just around the corner." ”

Next, Wang Yijian and I told us about the events after we left Zhongnan Mountain, including our encounter with the ghost-faced man, the killing of the Ye family's father and son, the trip to the Devil's City in the Western Regions, the trapped snake clan, Wang Yijian's petrification and the Nine Heavens Mirror.

After listening to this, the real person in charge of the sect said: "In this red world, it is indeed more wonderful than this mountain, good, very good, presumably when the two of you come back, it is also possible that there is a problem, although I, I know, I will definitely tell you." ”

I immediately said, "In charge of teaching real people, there is a sentence that disciples don't know whether to say or not. Daoxu Zhenren shook off the dust and said: "Since you have already said it, then you should talk about it, and you don't need to mention things that should not be said." ”

I bowed my head slightly and said: "The disciple also accidentally came out of the mouth of the White Tiger Protector of the Lunatic Sect, after the Zhengyi Sect Xuankong Zhenren left Zhongnan Mountain, he personally went to the Western Regions to visit the leader of the Moon Worship Sect, and reached some kind of agreement with him, the Zhengyi Sect helped the Lunatic Sect unify the Western Regions, and the Lunatic Worship Sect fully supported the Zhengyi Sect to become the leader of the Daomen, but I was afraid that the Zhengyi Sect would harbor evil intentions, and I also hoped that the real person in charge of the sect would be prepared. ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren sighed and said: "Xuankong is an ambitious person, he is competitive and competitive, and he has always been unwilling to be relegated to the second place of the Zhengyi Sect, in fact, what does it matter if the first and second are the first? Even if my Quanzhen Sect claims to be the second in the Dao Sect, which sect in the secluded sect dares to claim to be the first in the Dao Sect? But he didn't understand that. Let him go, I'm afraid that he will go too far and ruin the thousand-year-old foundation and luck of the Longhu Mountain Zhengyi Sect, which is sad. ”

Wang Yijian asked, "What should be done with the rebellion between the Lunatic Cult and the Snake Clan?" ”

Daoxu Zhenren stroked his beard and said: "Queen Denise of the Snake Clan, she was a strong man hundreds of years ago, extremely difficult to deal with, the Lunatic Cult is the king and hegemon in the Western Regions, these two big forces want to compete with each other, we can just watch from the wall, but it is inconvenient to interfere." Ling Xiao, there is something that you may need to deal with right now. ”

I asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Daoxu Zhenren said: "Recently, there is a person who looks exactly like you is active, and he is proficient in the spells of raising ghosts, this person is ruthless, and has successively washed the blood of three Taoist families and two temples. This person claims to be Zhou Qing, who is the reincarnation of the Demon King, and threatens to unify the Demon Gate, regroup, re-establish the Demon Gate, and fight against the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't sit still, and suddenly stood up and said, "What? How could such a thing happen? Who the hell is it that dares to pretend to be me and cause trouble! ”

Dao Xuzhen pressed his hands weakly, motioned for me to sit down, and said slowly: "The purpose of this person is very simple, that is, to win people's hearts under the banner of the Demon Lord. There are already Taoist families who want our Quanzhen Sect to ask for help, and they hope that the Quanzhen Sect will stand up for justice and kill this person as soon as possible. Your Zhou Qing's name can no longer be used, otherwise you can't wash it if you jump into the Yellow River, and if you go out now and say that you are Zhou Qing, you will not believe you, on the contrary, you will become the target of public criticism. ”

I clenched my fists, my eyes were full of murderous aura, this person is so bold, he dares to pretend to be me, ruin my reputation, I can't imagine that such a big thing has happened during my absence.

At this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, thinking of the ghost raising man I met in Changsha that day, he looked exactly like me, and was proficient in the spells of raising ghosts, and his strength was high, I thought it should be him nine times out of ten.

I said: "I know who did it, this person looks exactly like me, but his origin is very mysterious, and I am the only one who inherited the Dao system of raising ghosts, I don't know how he got the Dao system of raising ghosts." ”

Daoxu Zhenren said: "This matter still needs to be verified. I used Ziwei Dou to count, I can't figure out his origin, you have to remember, even if you go down the mountain to check this matter, it will never be possible to use the name Zhou Qing again, you will be a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect Ling Xiao in the future, understand? ”

The grievance in my heart, my name can't be used, but I was used by bad people to swagger and deceive, kill and commit murder, and I, Zhou Qing, have now become a public enemy.

I nodded and said, "Understood." The disciple is going down the mountain immediately, and he must find out this person and return my innocence. ”

Wang Yijian said: "In charge of the real person, I ask for orders to accompany my junior brother down the mountain together." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren did not agree this time, but said: "No! Ling Jian, you are now in the half-step Transformation God Realm, you must stay in Zhongnan Mountain and break through to the Transformation God Realm as soon as possible, this time, you don't have to go down the mountain. This incident started because of Ling Xiao, and naturally he can resolve it, so let's stay. ”

Wang Yijian was a little unhappy, but after all, it was the order of the real person in charge, and he couldn't disobey it.
