Flashy Mountain

"Master, another corpse has been found here." Lin Huaizhu covered his nose with one hand to cover up the stench, and with the other hand held a sword to push away the half-human-high grass, looking at the corpse of a male cultivator lying in one of them, who had already decayed, and hurriedly shouted to Qin Jianglan.

"How many have we found?" Qin Jianglan walked over, his brows furrowed, and asked with a serious face.

"Hmm, it's been almost half a month since we left the sect, and this is the fourth corpse we have encountered." Lin Huaizhu thought about it and replied.

"In just over half a month, four bodies were found." Qin Jianglan looked around, his tone was very solemn, and he pondered, "What do they want to do?" ”

Lin Huaizhu commanded Bai Yao and Xiaopang to dig a pit and bury the corpse, which was regarded as making a tomb for him, and said strangely when he heard it: "Master, I always feel that this behavior of demon cultivation is not so simple, and I have an ominous premonition?" ”

Bai Yao, who was filling in the soil, heard it and immediately continued: "Ominous premonition? What hunch? Isn't that group of demon cultivators taking the initiative to stir up trouble because they are tired of living a comfortable life, so they want to cause some trouble? ”

"Do you think this seems like a normal incident?" Lin Huaizhu glanced at it speechlessly, who would deliberately make such a big deal out of ordinary incidents?

Qin Jianglan frowned and pondered.

"Master, I once read it in the book that Si Che Daojun found, the more fanfare it is, the more it is not the other party's goal, no one would be so stupid to swagger out their purpose so that others know, right? So this must be an act of cover-up, and behind it, there is a deeper purpose! ”

"The senior brothers you mentioned have already thought about it, and after returning from Yancheng that night, they hurriedly called me and a few elders to discuss this matter." Qin Jianglan said, "But this matter is very well covered by the Demon City, although they caught a few demon cultivators who committed crimes, they only knew that this was an order from the Demon Venerable, as long as they did it, they didn't know anything else, so we wanted to take precautions in advance, and we didn't know where to start like a headless fly." ”

"What they have to do at the risk of another war with the spiritual world shows that this matter is much more important than letting the two sides go to war!" Lin Huaizhu pressed his chin and thought deeply, "What could it be?" ”

Qin Jianglan looked at the serious thinking appearance of the girl beside him, and stared at her for a while, until Lin Huaizhu felt that something was wrong and raised his eyes, and his gaze happened to meet him, Qin Jianglan hurriedly turned his gaze away, a little embarrassed, put his fist to his lips and coughed, in order to hide his unnaturalness.

"Master?" Lin Huaizhu looked at him suspiciously.

"Well, the hour is not early, since this monk has been put into the ground, let's hurry up and go to the next city, if we can't enter the city before dark, we can only stay overnight in this wilderness." Qin Jianglan said with his hands behind his back and his cheeks a little hot.

He was really confused, looking at Lin Huaizhu's serious face, he actually remembered the kiss when he was in Lanxin Pavilion, and then thought of holding a double cultivation ceremony.

Obviously, she just found a corpse, and thinking about this kind of thing at this time is not only inappropriate, but she was actually caught by her when she peeked at it!

While Qin Jianglan secretly scolded himself, he inexplicably felt a sense of shame in his heart, which he had never had before, and his heart was a little empty, so he deliberately changed the topic, trying to distract Lin Huaizhu's attention, and not let her worry about her peeking at her anymore.

"Well, that's what Master said." Lin Huaizhu nodded without doubt, and then said to Bai Yao and Xiaopang, who had refilled the soil, "Since that's the case, you're done, then let's go." ”

The two of them came to Fuhua City just before the sun set.

Fuhua City is a medium-sized city in the north of the Four Seas Continent, there are a lot of people coming and going on the street, but it is also lively, Lin Huaizhu followed Qin Jianglan's side, looked roughly, and found that the number of monks in it was quite large, and he knew that this was a city where monks often came and went.

Since it was a city where monks came and went, there must have been a lot of things related to monks on both sides of the road.

Lin Huaizhu was looking at the various magic weapons and magic robes sold in the shops on the street with great interest, and Yu Guang suddenly noticed that there were pedestrians pointing at the side, she looked in the direction and found that they were all young female cultivators looking at them excitedly, their faces were like peach blossoms, and their eyebrows were affectionate, as if they had seen the person they wanted.

Of course, Lin Huaizhu would not suspect that it was herself who made these women shy, she retracted her gaze, and looked at Qin Jianglan who was walking two steps in front of her, with a little displeasure in her eyes, her eyes narrowed, and she walked to Qin Jianglan in three steps and two steps, directly and forcefully grabbed his arm, and said coquettishly to Qin Jianglan who was looking at her in slight surprise: "There are many people in the Flashy City, if you don't pay attention, you will get lost, I have to protect the master!" ”

Qin Jianglan had always been accustomed to being alone before receiving Lin Huaizhu, even after accepting Lin Huaizhu, when he had never been so intimate in front of people, at this moment, seeing her close to him in public, a faint layer of crimson immediately appeared on his face.

There were people on the street, and although he was a little embarrassed, he didn't intend to refuse her in the end, so he let her hold him, looked away, and responded softly after a moment: "Hmm." ”

Lin Huaizhu, who received an affirmative answer, was happy in his heart, but he still had to try to restrain the corners of his lips, and pretended to walk calmly with Qin Jianglan to the inn, and the afterglow swept over the faces of the disappointed women one by one, and hummed in his heart, let you covet my master, it's time to give up, right?!

Yin Li looked at her happy expression, and couldn't help but roll her eyelids, saying in her heart Fortunately, she didn't have a tail, if she had a tail, this proud look would be warped to the sky.

At this moment, Bai Yao, who turned into a hairpin and inserted it between Lin Huai's bamboo hair, looked at this scene blankly, and always felt that something was wrong.

It didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lin Huaizhu, she had always been very dominant to Qin Jianglan, and it was like this when she was in Liangyi Palace, and it was estimated that she would not be far from the mountain.

The person it felt was wrong was Qin Jianglan, if it was before, Qin Jianglan would never allow Lin Huaizhu to be so intimate in front of so many people.

So what's going on?

Bai Yao pondered, and had a strong premonition in his heart that he seemed to have missed something important.

***

Fuhua Inn is the largest inn in Fuhua City, located in the main street, the road extends in all directions, the inn covers a large area, surrounded by shops, very lively.

Qin Jianglan took Lin Huaizhu to ask for two upper rooms, and then the two of them went back to the room to freshen up, and in the evening, they went downstairs together to sit in the lobby, and by the way, they tasted the local food.

"Guest, you use it slowly." The shopkeeper brought up a few signature dishes they ordered one by one, and then hurriedly walked to the next table of customers.

Lin Huaizhu took a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube and gave them to Qin Jianglan, and then took his own, picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, with a happy look on his face.

Qin Jianglan has never paid much attention to eating, and now he can only taste it a few times, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Lin Huaizhu's eating appearance intently, and the corners of his mouth seemed to curl a little.

And Bai Yao, who was still turned into a hairpin and inserted between Lin Huaizhu's hair, stared at Qin Jianglan with burning eyes, looking at him seriously intently, his gaze was so strong that Qin Jianglan couldn't ignore it, he straightened his cuffs, withdrew his eyes staring at Lin Huaizhu, and pretended to bow his head to drink tea to Bai Yao.

"Demon Venerable is staring at me like this, is there something you have to say?"

"No...... Maybe there is! Bai Yao thought about it, but decided to take the initiative to ask, "I feel that you have been in a very happy mood since you came down the mountain, which is a little different from your previous performance, which makes me puzzled." ”

Qin Jianglan paused and replied, "Yes, it's been a long time since I've appeared in front of everyone like this, and I can't help but feel a little happier in my heart." ”

What's more, the person next to him is still the woman he likes, how can he be in a bad mood.

He said this last sentence in his heart, and the two of them have now confirmed that the relationship is correct, but he hasn't had time to ask Lin Huaizhu what he means, and he doesn't know if she is willing to make this matter public, in order not to make it difficult for her, he can't tell Bai Yao directly, so he can only hide it first.

When Bai Yao heard this, he thought of what had happened to Qin Jianglan over the years, was quiet for a moment, and then pretended to be relaxed and said, "That's right!" Come out and have fun! ”

Qin Jianglan had been in the Taichu Gate for more than eight hundred years, and now that he thought about it, even Bai Yao himself didn't know why he suddenly made the decision to leave him in Liangyi Peak in the first place, as if it was a thought, it made a decision.

Speaking of which, because of his special identity, Bai Yao has occupied a mountain peak alone for 10,000 years.

Although Liangyi Peak also has disciples to live, it is not the only living thing, but it can be a disciple who is responsible for sprinkling and sweeping daily life, and the existence of Liangyi Peak is actually similar to Yujin Peak, only for residential purposes, not for disciples.

Until that day more than 800 years ago, because Bai Yao was really bored and didn't want to continue cultivating, he used his divine sense to sweep around the Taichu Gate to see if there was anything new to relieve it.

As a result, this sweep picked up Qin Jianglan back.

Due to the interference of the flesh-based Lingzhi in his body, he couldn't practice spirituality, so he could only turn to sword cultivation, otherwise others would wonder why he didn't use thunder-based spiritual roots instead of thunder-based spells, didn't it seem strange?

So he can only take the path of sword cultivation.

After he became the first sword cultivation disciple of Liangyi Peak, because of his outstanding talent, other sword cultivators in the sect rushed to Liangyi Peak to come to him to learn and test the sword, and then slowly began to have sword cultivation disciples settle in Liangyi Peak, and finally became a mountain of full sword cultivation, which was also a big surprise to Bai Yao.

Although it didn't expect this development, but now that it looks at it, it feels that it has done the right thing invisibly, and Bai Yao suddenly feels that he is still very witty.

As soon as Bai Yao finished speaking, Qin Jianglan shook his head helplessly and corrected: "Demon Venerable, we didn't come out to play......

"Gee, that's what I said." Bai Yao didn't want to hear this, so he played tricks and said, "Don't worry too much about a demon, the demon will have a headache!" ”

Qin Jianglan couldn't help but smile, but didn't say anything more.

This conversation was all finished in a sound transmission, because Lin Huaizhu, who was eating seriously, didn't notice Qin Jianglan's actions, and naturally didn't see his shallow smile as soft as the warm spring sun, and it was a handsome face that could definitely make her deer's heart beat faster.

As the sun sets, the city is gradually filled with darkness, and at the same time, the light of the bright light of the vanity inn gradually brightens up, and the inn is as bright as day, and more and more people appear in the lobby.

When there are more people, there are more chatting voices.

"During this time, I don't know what happened to those demon cultivators, and they suddenly poured out of the nest and made chaos everywhere, making us panic and uneasy, and we didn't dare to go out of the door, which is really annoying! I heard that the three major immortal sects and the four great families have joined forces to stop the demon cultivators with all their might, I hope they can kill a few more demon cultivators, and it is best to kill them all, and there must be a peace in the Firmament Realm! A man of medium stature was chatting with his friend, and somehow he talked about it, and said angrily at the moment.

"Hmph, what are the three major immortal sects, all of them are some sanctimonious hypocrites!" The other monk sitting opposite this male cultivator was originally fine, but when he heard his words, he suddenly became angry, and said angrily, "If you want to eradicate demon cultivation, the first thing that should be eliminated is the people of the three major immortal sects!" ”

The inn fell silent suddenly, and everyone looked back at the monk, and the expressions on everyone's faces seemed to be surprised and confused, and they all looked at the monk without blinking, shocked by the content of his words.

"You—what do you mean......" The monk who first brought up the topic was stunned and stammered at him.

"That's right, I heard a news a few days ago, saying that in such a high-profile action of demon cultivation this time, there are people from the three major immortal sects hidden deep in!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the inn, and the noise could be heard from across the street, causing people in other shops to probe out for news and want to know what was going on.

Lin Huaizhu and Qin Jianglan first glanced at each other, and then looked at the monk at the center of the topic with a solemn face, and the degree of shock in their hearts was even worse than that of others.

After all, they are the people of the Three Great Immortal Sects!
