The night was thick, and the dense forest climate in the winter evening was gloomy and cold, Lin Huaizhu raised a fire in the middle of the forest road behind the ethereal peak, sitting on the stone next to the fire, holding his chin with both hands, staring at the roast chicken on the fire in a daze.

"I heard Xiao Wu say that you came to Ethereal Peak to look for me, and I didn't see you when I went around in Dongyuan, so you were here."

Lin Huaizhu turned his face sideways, and his gaze followed Tang Mingqing's figure as he approached and finally stopped opposite her, with a depressed look on his face, clearly not wanting to speak.

Tang Mingqing looked at the roast chicken on the fire unnoticed, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "This is a phoenix tail?" Where did you get that? ”

The phoenix-tailed chicken is a first-order spirit animal, named because its tail resembles a phoenix's tail.

Although it is a first-order spirit animal, it is very common in the firmament world, but it grows slowly, and it has to be raised for three or five years from the shell to eat, and the taste of the food is slightly bitter at this time, and the meat is also very woody.

If Tang Mingqing remembers correctly, there should be no more than three or two places where there are phoenix-tailed chickens in the Ethereal Peak......

"Beiyuan, they have raised more than 30 anchovies, and several of them have been raised for more than five years, in order to avoid their waste, I will help them solve one first."

“……”

Tang Ming Qingmo, those phoenix-tailed chickens that are about to pass five years, seem to be required by the boss.

"Why are you here, and you've finished talking to them?" Originally, he had made up his mind to ignore him, but Lin Huaizhu endured it for a while but still couldn't hold back, and asked directly.

Tang Mingqing showed an unexpected expression and said, "You really heard it." ”

After Zhao Mujing and a group of people left, he was upset, so he went out of the courtyard to relax, and happened to meet Xiao Wu, and heard him say that he saw Lin Huaizhu go to Dongyuan earlier, and calculated that the time was just when Zhao Mujing and the others were still in his yard, he felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly came to find her.

He wasn't worried about what Lin Huaizhu would do to them, she wasn't such a stingy person, but with her character, she couldn't hide it after she went back, and those people from Liangyi Peak were short-sighted, and when the time came, Lord Bai Yao would see what clues, and it was possible to come over and fly the entire mountain, so he had to come and talk to her.

Speaking of this, Lin Huaizhu was even more annoyed, and replied in a hard tone: "I'm not deaf, Ji Yufu's loud voice can't wait for the entire Dongyuan to hear, I heard something strange." ”

“…… Senior Sister Zhao, she has a little misunderstanding about me, and I have already made it clear to her. ”

Lin Huaizhu glanced at him, snorted coldly, and showed his dissatisfaction: "What did you say?" Do you stop talking to me in the future, or do you avoid me? ”

Tang Mingqing lowered his eyes, looked at the fire, the fire shone on his face, Tang Mingqing tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Lin, don't worry, I have solved the matter, and she will not misunderstand you again in the future." ”

Lin Huaizhu blinked and asked, "Senior Sister Zhao's misunderstanding of me has always been deep, what method did you use to make her believe it?" ”

Tang Mingqing was silent for two seconds and replied, "I swore with my Dao heart. ”

As soon as the words fell, the forest fell silent, the air seemed to freeze, and no one spoke.

After a while, Lin Huaizhu responded with a sneer, and said with mockery: "Senior Brother Tang, you use such a solemn method of swearing with your Dao heart to prove that Senior Sister is really flattered." ”

Monks who can use their Dao hearts to swear are generally used to prove their innocence when things related to the sect, the clan and the cultivation realm occur, Lin Huaizhu said this to satirize Zhao Mujing's deep misunderstanding of her, which is enough to this extent.

Tang Mingqing only felt bitter in his mouth, and said with difficulty, "Senior Sister Lin, I'm already sad......"

Lin Huaizhu said unceremoniously: "Yes!" ”

After speaking, he no longer cared about him, but concentrated on roasting the anchovy chicken.

She knew in her heart that as soon as this incident came out, Tang Mingqing and Zhao Mujing were not dispersed, for the sake of being friends for many years, she didn't say anything, but she still had a stinky expression on her face, and only gave him a chicken leg, and enjoyed the rest by herself.

Tang Mingqing took the chicken leg, he was in a better mood, and grinded a chicken wing, it was not easy to raise a phoenix tail, and it was rare to have a chance to fight the tooth sacrifice, so he would not let it go easily.

"By the way, what did you do when you came to Ethereal Peak to find me?" Throwing the chicken bones in his hand into the grass, Tang Mingqing cleaned himself up with a dust removal spell, and asked casually.

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot!" Lin Huaizhu remembered what he was going to ask, and hurriedly wiped the grease mouth clean with a handkerchief, and asked, "Senior Brother Tang, you have been a deacon of the inner gate for many years, right?" ”

"Well, it's been almost twenty years."

"Then do you know Senior Brother Qin Muyu of Yunhai Peak?"

"I know, there is no one in the whole sect who doesn't know him."

Lin Huaizhu immediately became energetic when he heard this, moved his body forward, and continued to ask: "Then do you know why he became the way he is now?" ”

"What does this look like now?" Tang Mingqing lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, and said, "Have you heard something?" ”

Lin Huaizhu said calmly: "Hmm...... I heard from my master's friend, it's Si Che Daojun, you should have seen it, right? ”

Yin Li rolled her eyelids while lying in the sea of knowledge, indicating that her two-sided push was really skillful, but fortunately, Lin Huaizhu couldn't see it.

Tang Mingqing nodded, as a deacon of the inner gate, he naturally went to Liangyi Palace because of something, Si Che had seen it several times, he didn't doubt Lin Huaizhu's statement, he was just a little strange.

"Since Si Che Daojun mentioned Senior Brother Qin to you, why didn't he tell you the reason for his sudden change in temperament?"

Lin Huaizhu said with a disgusted face when he heard this: "He wants to say it, but I don't want to hear it." ”

If she asked, Si Che would also tell her, but she had to make fun of her first, and only after teasing her enough would he tell her well.

Since this is the case, then she might as well ask the people next to her who know the inside story, and save herself from being ridiculed by Si Che.

Si Che's character Tang Mingqing also heard a little, and said clearly at the moment: "Senior Brother Qin didn't have such a cold temperament before, I met a few times when I first entered the sect, and he was also a living pan boy who loved to talk and laugh, but a beast tide a hundred years ago, he was seriously injured, and he lay in the mountain gate for more than half a year, and after waking up, he changed. ”

"Seriously injured?" Hearing the words he cared about, Lin Huaizhu hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say that you went to more than 100 sects?" How can it be seriously injured? ”

"I heard that it seems that in order to save the True Feather Fairy of Tianyin Pavilion, he was injured by a Yuan Infant Demon Cultivator."

Qin Muyu was only a mid-stage Jindan cultivator at that time, and the cultivation of the disciples accompanying him was not as good as him, he blocked this blow with his body, threw out a rune to counterattack, and desperately took the rest of the people back to Xiliang City, only to be seriously injured and fell.

Lin Huaizhu calculated the time, and it was about the time when she and Qin Muyu and a group of people went to investigate the situation of the beast tide, she stayed to resist, and the rest of the people returned to Xiliang City to move the rescuers.

At that time, the hundred families of Xianmen had not yet arrived, Qin Muyu originally planned to go to the city lord of Xiliang City, and in his name he came forward to gather all the monks in the city to resist together, who knew that on the way back, he would meet a Yuanying Demon Cultivator, and in order to save the True Feather Fairy, who was not defeated by the other party, was seriously injured and woke up in a coma for several months.

Lin Huaizhu said in his heart, so after Qin Muyu returned to the city, he fainted before he had time to move the rescue soldiers first? But it's not right, Qin Muyu is unconscious, what about the rest? Did they all faint en masse?

Just when she couldn't figure it out, Tang Mingqing's voice continued to reach her ears: "It's strange to say, after Senior Brother Qin woke up, the first time he actually went to find Senior Sister Yang of Wudingfeng to duel, and he couldn't wait to fight with her, completely ignoring his seriously injured body, Senior Sister Yang almost died at his hands, this matter caused a big sensation in the sect, the head of the Yang family came to Taichumen to ask for an explanation, if it wasn't for Senior Brother Qin's master Yunhua Daojun and Qin Zhangzuo came forward, plus the head of the family had the heart to maintain, Senior Brother Qin was not just thrown into the land of trials. ”

"Senior Sister Yang?" Lin Huaizhu was stunned for a moment and said, "Which Senior Sister Yang?" ”

When she heard Tang Mingqing mention the head of the Yang family, the first thing that came to her mind was Yang Ziqi.

"Yang Ruoling, you shouldn't know her, since this incident, her cultivation has been damaged, and she has not come out of retreat for a hundred years."

Lin Huaizhu's heart suddenly changed, it turned out to be Yang Ruoling, Yang Ruoling, of course she knew, Qin Muyu went down the mountain to experience in the later stage of foundation building, and she was followed by this little girl, at that time she was still strange, Taichumen asked disciples to travel out of the mountain gate after the middle stage of foundation building, that little girl was just a late stage of Qi refining, how could Taichumen allow it.

It seems that it should be related to this Yang family.

After Qin Muyu went down the mountain, she went to the place where she made an appointment to contact her and left a message, and she would go there every once in a while to see, it happened that three days after Qin Muyu put down the message, she returned there again, and when she saw the message left by Qin Muyu, she went to find him as she said.

When she met Yang Ruoling for the first time, there was a little unpleasantness between the two of them.

The little girl boasted that she was from a famous and upright family, and when she saw her suddenly appear, she didn't give a good face, and she obviously didn't like her nose and eyes.

Lin Huaizhu is very good to her own people, but outsiders just look at the mood, so she hung Yang Ruoling upside down from a tree for a night to teach a lesson.

Yang Ruoling has suffered this grievance since she was a child, and she will not be treated to her from now on, as long as she appears, Yang Ruoling will lose her temper, and even threaten her to ask Qin Muyu not to associate with her anymore.

Lin Huaizhu didn't want to make it difficult for Qin Muyu, so he rarely contacted him later.

Later, Qin Muyu didn't take her with him when he traveled, and Lin Huaizhu rarely saw her again, so he didn't have a deep impression of her, so he didn't think of her for the first time.

Why, in the period before she died, was something else going on?

"Actually, although no one mentions it on the surface, many new disciples of the sect don't know about it, but there is such a saying among the old disciples." Tang Mingqing suddenly sat down beside her and said mysteriously, "They all said that Senior Brother Qin would become what he is now, and it was related to a demon cultivator. ”

Lin Huaizhu had something in his heart, and replied absentmindedly when he heard this: "Isn't it related to the demon cultivator, if he hadn't been injured by that demon cultivator, Senior Brother Qin wouldn't have been in a coma for a few months, let alone change his temperament." ”

"That's what I thought at first, but it's not." Tang Mingqing shared the gossip he had heard, his face was radiant, his eyebrows were dancing, he thought about it for a long time, and now he finally found someone to say, "I only found out when I was chatting with the deacon brother who was in charge of taking care of the affairs of the palace. ”

Tang Mingqing's voice, which had already been lowered, lowered his voice again and said: "I heard that Senior Brother Qin had said a word when Senior Sister Yang was in a duel with Senior Sister Yang, and she shouted with tears streaming down her face, 'She is a demon cultivator, you are a spiritual cultivator, you are born opposites, it is impossible to be together, and now she is dead in the beast tide, and if she dies, she will die, this is the best ending, save yourself from dragging it down!' As a result, Senior Brother Qin rioted and killed him. ”

Tang Mingqing dared to tell her about this, firstly, because her master was Qin Jianglan and Qin Muyu's uncle, and with this relationship, she was afraid that she would be unfavorable to Qin Muyu.

The second is that after many years of contact, Lin Huaizhu is not a person who likes to talk nonsense everywhere, even if she knows about it, she will not say it casually.

Hearing this hidden story, Lin Huaizhu was shocked, and he didn't know how to react, so he had to mumble and repeat: "She is a demon cultivator, you are a spiritual cultivator, you are born opposite, it is impossible to be together......"
