The wooden boat slowly sailed into Liangyi Peak, and when the mountain patrol disciples saw that it was Qin Jianglan and Bai Yao standing on the bow of the boat, they all saluted the wooden boat and let them pass directly.

"That's it...... So came in? Bai Jingyu sat in the cabin, looking at the scene outside the wooden boat, a little incredulous.

"Of course, you don't look at who brought you in." Lin Huaizhu ate the snacks that would be prepared at any time in the storage bag, and said proudly, looking at the familiar scenery outside the window, he was very happy in his heart, and there was a smile on his face that could not be hidden.

Finally home.

The disciples of Liangyi Peak recognized the wooden boat in charge, stopped what they were doing, stood on the mountain peak and saluted him respectfully, until the wooden boat flew by.

Seeing all this in Bai Jingyu's eyes, he felt very surprised.

He had never been to a sect when he was so old, and he didn't know much about the life in the sect, and when he saw these disciples holding swords and competing with his fellow disciples, he remembered that several senior brothers who had apprenticed and practiced spells at home in the past also practiced swords with each other like this, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.

The brothers have now turned into white bones and are sleeping underground forever.

The wooden boat stopped on the flat ground outside the backyard of Liangyi Palace, and when it landed, Qin Jianglan controlled his voice to avoid making too much noise, so as not to alarm others.

Everyone got off the boat, and Qin Jianglan said to Bai Yao: "Demon Venerable, please send the two of them into the side wing of the apse, and the two who were tied up, throw them into the dungeon of Liangyi Palace first, and then talk about it later." ”

Although he said that he would hand it over to the senior brother in charge, this matter was about Bai Jingyu, and it was not appropriate to publicize it in a big way, so he could only tell it privately, so the two of them were left in the underground palace first and waited for disposal.

Bai Yao nodded, first sent the two people who were tied up and were still in a coma directly into the dungeon to be guarded by the formation layer by layer, and then took Bai Jingyu and Chu Nanxiu to the apse wing room to settle down.

Qin Jianglan put away the wooden boat and turned to look at Lin Huaizhu: "What that demon cultivator said is very important, I have to hurry back to the senior brother in charge, I will go to the Guiyuan Hall now, you stay in Liangyi Peak, don't go anywhere." ”

The truth hidden in Lin Huaizhu's body was too shocking, and once it was discovered, it would alarm the entire spiritual cultivation world, so he didn't dare to let her run around anymore, in case something was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Master I know, don't worry, I'll stay at Liangyi Peak and won't go anywhere." Lin Huaizhu also nodded solemnly.

This matter is at stake in her life, and of course she does not dare to be careless.

Qin Jianglan received a positive answer, and then he was relieved that the sword flew to the Guiyuan Palace, and informed Qingjia Daojun of the Demon Venerable's plan as soon as possible.

After Lin Huaizhu saw that his master's figure flew far away in the air and became an invisible point, he walked towards the main hall of Liangyi Palace with his hands up.

Now let alone leaving Liangyi Peak, even if she leaves Liangyi Palace, she is reluctant, and wants to wait for the master to come back and spend more time together.

She walked into the main hall full of concern, but a very familiar voice suddenly sounded beside her, making her look back.

"Little girl, it's been a long time since you said goodbye to Andu City, why did you have such a sullen expression when you came back, your master bullied you?" Si Che sat in the side hall and said to her, there was a pile of food on the table in front of him, he was eating happily, his mouth was covered with oil flowers, and when he saw her, he was still a little puzzled, "How did you come in from the apse?" ”

"Si Che Daojun!" Lin Huaizhu shouted in surprise when he saw an acquaintance he hadn't seen for many years suddenly appear here, and then his eyes swept the food in front of him, and he couldn't help but quip, "The wooden boat landed in the backyard, and I came in from the apse. ”

"What else do you say?" At the mention of this, Si Che suddenly glanced at her, and said dissatisfiedly, "You said that you would go down the mountain, and even the big bird left with you, and you didn't send me a message, do you know how I felt when I came back and saw that the Liangyi Palace was empty?" It's just bleak! ”

"Oh, isn't that happening for a reason?" Lin Huaizhu walked to the side hall and sat on the side of the small case, took out a pair of clean chopsticks, picked up a piece of cold beef and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while eating, "When I went down the mountain with Master, it was when the Demon Cultivators were causing trouble everywhere, and the Master wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate the chaotic Demon Cultivators, and secondly, to take me to experience the cultivation, and then left the sect, Bai Yao saw that we were all leaving, and it was not interesting to stay here, so he insisted on keeping up, originally the master wanted to send you a message, but I don't know where you are, and I don't know how long it will take you to come, That's why I didn't send you a message. ”

After speaking, he picked up a piece of cold beef and stuffed it into his mouth, with a happy face.

Si Che wasn't really angry with them, but he thought that he had been going to Taichumen again after many years, and originally thought that they would definitely stay at Liangyi Peak, and rushed to come, but when he arrived, he found that people went to the empty building, and the disappointment was really indescribable, as if standing in the cold wind, listening to the wind whistling in his ears, and the bleak scene of withering and falling leaves swirling and drifting, it was really a bit desolate.

Originally, he thought that when Qin Jianglan and them came back, he would definitely put on a good face to show them, but now that he saw that they were really back, the depression in his heart dissipated by himself, and at this time, seeing Lin Huaizhu eating Zhenghuan, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Where have you been all these years? I see that your cultivation has increased a lot, and I think you have fought with people a lot, right? Si Che looked at her carefully and said.

"Not really!" Lin Huaizhu swallowed a sip of tea and said, "Over the years, we have rarely stayed in the city, almost all of us have stayed in the barren mountains and mountains, and we have seen less spiritual cultivation, and there are not too many demon cultivators in battle, it is simply endless!" ”

When Si Che heard this, he remembered what he had seen and heard in the past few years, and he also sighed quietly, propped his chin and said: "Since the great war between the immortals and demons three or four hundred years ago, the Demon Dao has been silent for a while, and the spiritual cultivation community at that time felt that they had suffered heavy casualties and suffered great damage, and they would not be able to achieve any climate in hundreds of years, but now I have looked down all the way and found that there are a lot of demon cultivators, and most of them are not low. ”

"Hmm." Lin Huaizhu stuffed his food and nodded in response.

His current guess was already in line with what Master had thought.

"What about your master? Why did you show up alone, where did he go? Si Che picked up the folding fan he had placed on the table, knocked on his shoulder and asked.

"We found some new clues in this experience, and as soon as we got off the wooden boat, Master Mu couldn't wait to go back to the master of the house, and he couldn't come back until he finished speaking."

Hearing Lin Huaizhu's explanation, Si Che didn't continue to ask, he sat silently in place, lowered his eyebrows and pondered, a sense of heaviness arose in his heart, and he was not very optimistic about the fact that the demon cultivator took the initiative to provoke the incident this time.

Guiyuan Palace

"This matter ......" Qingjia Daojun listened to Qin Jianglan's words, sat on the chair with a serious face, and screwed his brows to absorb the news.

Qin Jianglan gently blew a sip of steaming tea noodles, took a sip, and then put it on the case at hand, looked directly at the senior brother in charge, and said slowly: "With the wisdom of the senior brother, I'm afraid I have already guessed the plan of the demon cultivator, right?" ”

Qingjia Daojun sighed, rolled up his sleeves, and said: "I just thought that they had gone to such great lengths to do these things, and everyone knew about it, and there must be other purposes in it, you are right, I may have guessed it a long time ago, but I can't believe it." ”

After the news of the dissipation of the aura came back to the sect, he was unsettled all day, if he was still a little puzzled before he learned the news, then what else could he not understand after getting the news.

Naturally, the Demon Cultivator's move was not to draw everyone's attention to the fact that the aura produced by the spiritual veins was decreasing day by day, but to demonstrate.

After the demonstration, he was waiting to see the fate of the spiritual cultivator, and there was a lot of malice here, how could he not guess.

It's just that if I guessed it, I guessed it, but I didn't want to believe it in my heart.

Now that he heard the news that Qin Jianglan brought back, he was no longer willing to accept it.

"Where are those formations you're talking about? I'll consult with the other heads of the family and send high-ranking monks over to destroy them!" Qingjia Daojun tapped his finger on the armrest, and suddenly said.

Since it is impossible to change the increasingly scarce aura provided by the spiritual vein, then the only way to start is to slow down the consumption of spiritual energy.

"I don't know the exact location, but I just heard from that demon cultivator that they are all in a remote and secluded place that is barren and populated."

"Then look for it!" Qing Jia Daojun waved his hand and made a decisive decision, "I will contact the other heads of the family, once I find any place where the aura is different, I will immediately go to check, and I will definitely destroy all this ghost formation!" ”

Qin Jianglan looked at the figure of Qingjia Daojun walking to the bookcase and preparing to write a letter to the heads of the family, and hesitated slightly, wanting to tell him that he had found the young man surnamed Bai, and swallowed the words back to his mouth, and so on and so on, Qingjia Daojun found out that he was wrong.

"What's wrong with you? Isn't there any important news to say? Qingjia Daojun's heart suddenly mentioned, and he asked urgently.

"Also...... No. Qin Jianglan thought about it, but decided to hide the matter and directly denied it.

Qingjia Daojun looked at him suspiciously.

"I'm just worried, if it goes on like this, even if it destroys the formation, it's useless, what really needs to be solved is the spiritual vein that provides aura, and if the spiritual vein doesn't return to normal every day, the aura will not be better every day, and this is the most important thing."

"Hey......" Qingjia Daojun sighed again when he heard this, "I don't know what you said, it's just that we have sent someone to check the spiritual vein, and found that there is nothing wrong, the spiritual energy is becoming scarcer and rarer, and it is the spiritual vein's own problem." ”

As soon as he received the news that the spiritual energy of the cities on the edge of the Four Seas Continent was different, he had already contacted the heads of the other two immortal sects, and privately sent his disciples to investigate the situation of the spiritual veins, and the news he got back was that the spiritual veins were intact and there were no abnormalities.

In other words, it is not caused by man, but the spirit veins themselves have a problem, which makes them unable to do anything.

Qin Jianglan was silent for a moment and said, "Since Senior Brother has something important to do, I won't bother, and I'll go back to Liangyi Peak first." ”

"Hmm." Qingjia Daojun nodded, and after he left, he hurriedly wrote to several heads of the family to inform him of the news.

At night, in the stars of the night, Qin Jianglan stood alone on the pavilion on the top of the mountain, looking down into the distance with his back hand, quietly distracted.

"Master has been bored since he came back from the Guiyuan Palace, but what did the master say?" Lin Huaizhu stood on the edge of the stone wall and looked at his back, then stepped forward and said.

Qin Jianglan came back to his senses, looked sideways at her and walked towards him, silent until she came to him, and then said: "After talking to the senior brother in charge about the demon cultivation, the senior brother saw that I was wrong, and asked me if I had any news to say besides the formation, and I replied 'no'." ”

Lin Huaizhu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant, knowing that he was hesitating between whether to tell the head of the sect about Bai Jingyu, and his heart was entangled.

"What if...... Master felt embarrassed...... Lin Huaizhu lowered his eyelids, stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve, and said softly, "We can explain the stakes of this matter to Bai Jingyu first, if he is unwilling to stay in Taichumen, we will treat him as if we haven't found him, okay?" ”

In fact, she knew that it was the best choice to report Bai Jingyu's matter to the head of the sect, and when the time came, with the protection of the Taichumen, Bai Jingyu would be safe and sound, and Bai Jingyu would also be able to create spiritual vein conditions for the Taichumen.

It's just that in this way, he is like a canary in captivity, and he can only spend his life in the Taichumen before the end of his life.

If she wasn't from the Wuling clan, she wouldn't care what would happen to Bai Jingyu in the future, but the two of them were from the same clan, which really made her unable to make a decision next time, and it was precisely because Qin Jianglan knew this that she hesitated when she returned to the Yuan Palace.

Qin Jianglan listened to her words, held her hand, and responded in a low voice: "Hmm." ”

The two stood side by side, looking out at the vast night sky, both feeling dazed and uncertain about the future of the spiritual world.
