At the foot of Qingyun Mountain, in a remote corner, four people stood side by side, three men and one woman.

"I didn't expect to be back here in my lifetime." The sturdy old man among the four sighed, his face confused, as if he was reminiscing about the eventful years of the year.

The middle-aged man standing beside him smiled faintly when he heard this, "With you in charge of the overall situation, why is it difficult to return to the foot of Qingyun Mountain?" After a while, it was not surprising that we rushed to the top of the Yuqing Hall of Tongtian Peak. ”

"Brother Ghost King laughed." The old man shook his head, "Didn't you say that Brother Yuyangzi would preside over the overall situation of this event?" I'm just a pawn before and after the saddle. ”

"That's right, Brother Yuyangzi." The old man smiled and looked at the middle-aged man in a Taoist robe beside him.

The man in that robe looked to be about thirty years old, with three long beards under his chin, and he was extremely handsome, no one could have imagined that he was the leader of the "Immortal Hall", one of the four major sects of the current Demon Sect, and an old demon who had cultivated for hundreds of years.

The old devil who pretended to be tender smiled when he heard this, and said, "Qingyunmen has been oppressing our Holy Sect everywhere for the past hundred years, and today we will definitely seek justice from them." ”

"Well said!" The Ghost King echoed in with his voice, and then turned his head to look at the only woman among the four, "Wait a while, it will also depend on your wonderful Dao Method, fairy." ”

The woman is dressed in a pale yellow palace dress, although she does not apply powder, but she is still beautiful and refined, and her beauty is not like a person in the world.

"The three Dao brothers are all big people who have seen the world, far better than me, a little woman, but we have all made a heavy oath in front of the throne of the Holy Mother, this time we must work together, a snow was the shame of the temple being humiliated, and I hope that the three Dao brothers will abandon their previous suspicions together, and don't live up to the preface." The three wonderful fairies' lips moved slightly, and there was a special style between Gu Pan, but the three people present were all advanced in cultivation, and they would not be captured by this little charm.

The three of them glanced at each other and replied in unison: "Don't worry, fairy, we will do our best." ”

……

On the Yuqing Palace, Zhang Xiaofan knelt alone on the cold bluestone slab, Qingyun taught Dao Xuanzhen to sit on the main seat, Mo Wen and Xiao Yicai stood behind, a group of monks and people from the "Incense Valley" brought by Master Puhong, the abbot of Tianyin Temple, sat in the left row, and the right row was the first seat of Qingyun, and many Qingyun disciples who knew Zhang Xiaofan stood behind their master like Mo Wen, silently looking at the lonely figure above the main hall.

On the left hand side of Dao Xuan Zhenren is a small low table, on which is placed a burning stick made of the blood of the "Blood Devouring Bead" and the "Soul Dementor".

Dao Xuan Zhenren first said that the names of the visitors present had shown the number of salutes, and then asked Zhang Xiaofan slowly: "On this trip to Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, some Taoist friends of Tianyin Temple pointed out that the Taoist method you used when you fought with the strange beast Kui Niu was actually the true method of 'Great Brahma Prajna' that Tianyin Temple never transmitted, but is there such a thing?" ”

“…… Be. After being silent for a while, Zhang Xiaofan answered the question - Zhang Xiaofan did not need to deny it, and it was impossible to deny it.

The faces of the young disciples who had a good relationship with Zhang Xiaofan changed color, Tian Buyi's face became more and more ugly, and the monks of Tianyin Temple were talking about it, only Fa Xiang's face was unbearable, and Master Puhong slowly closed his eyes.

Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at Zhang Xiaofan coldly, waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, casually picked up the pitch-black short stick on the low table, and continued to ask: "In addition, some people say that this burning stick in your hand has the Demon Sect's evil blood devouring beads on it, but is it true?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Xiaofan replied in a low voice.

Everyone was silent, the black-hearted old man was famous all over the world, and this blood-devouring bead did not know how much blood had diluted the blood of living beings...... Who would have thought that such a fierce thing would appear on a small Qingyun disciple.

"What do you want to say?" Dao Xuan's face was slightly gloomy.

"I, I, I ......" Zhang Xiaofan, who was watched by everyone, had countless thoughts in his heart one after another at this time, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

"How did this blood-devouring bead come about?" Dao Xuan Zhenren saw Zhang Xiaofan like this, shouted loudly, Zhang Xiaofan was stunned by this drink, sorted out a clue, and began to tell the origin of this magic weapon, to the effect that he and his senior sister chased the monkey Xiao Ash to the edge of the pool, and then the black rod in the pool "Soul Dementor" and "Blood Devouring Bead" fought, and the "Blood Devouring Bead" was defeated, so he absorbed Zhang Xiaofan's blood as a help, and finally the two became one......

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and the seniors led by Dao Xuan Zhenren frowned, after all, there are too few cases of this kind of thing, the magic weapon is psychic, and the two fight each other and finally smelt with blood, this phenomenon is really incredible.

Dao Xuan Zhenren pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Okay, I will believe your theory of accidental smelting, but before this, the blood devouring bead was already on you, you are a little child, how can there be such an evil thing?" Also, the Blood Devouring Bead has always sucked the blood of living creatures, and at that time, it was not smelted with the Dementor, how could you be safe? ”

Silence, suffocating silence, Zhang Xiaofan just knelt there quietly, not saying a word.

"Say!" Tian Buyi finally couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, and shouted loudly - he could understand his senior brother, if Zhang Xiaofan was like this, he would definitely die, and Dao Xuan Zhenren would not leave a trace of hidden danger for Qingyun!

[What is the trouble of this stinky boy, if you don't say it, you will really die! ] Tian Buyi took a step forward, ready to use the majesty of "Master" to oppress Zhang Xiaofan.

"Master Tian, let's discuss something slowly, don't be rude." Before Tian Buyi could make a sound, Master Puhong, who was sitting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes.

Tian Buyi was stunned, he didn't expect Master Puhong to help Zhang Xiaofan speak, so he had to snort and return to his seat.

Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at Master Pu Hong slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Also, where did you learn the Great Brahma Prajna True Method in your body?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall became nervous...... This kind of thing may involve some shady things under the two righteous paths - like spies and the like, if this kind of thing really happens, this Yuqing Hall will become a battlefield if it can't be said.

There was silence for a long time, Zhang Xiaofan knelt on the bluestone slab like a stone, and didn't say a word.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang, and everyone looked towards the sound, but it was Dao Xuan Zhenren who slapped the burning stick on the low table, only to see Dao Xuan Zhenren Huo Ran stand up and shouted angrily: "Evil obstacles!" Don't think that if you don't open your mouth, I can't do anything about you! ”

Zhang Xiaofan's body trembled, and he slowly lowered his head, as if he was ready to defend his oath with his life.

"Master is angry, disciple has something to say." Looking at Dao Xuan Zhenren's increasingly ugly face, Mo Wen felt that it was time to say something.

"What do you say?" Looking at Mo Wen, who was standing in the field, Dao Xuan Zhenren narrowed his eyes. "If it's your childhood friend, you don't have to."

“…… The disciple just felt that there must be something hidden in this matter, and there were some speculations. Mo Wen's face turned pale under the oppression of Dao Xuan's real aura, but he still said the words completely word by word.

"Tell me about it."

"Yes." Mo Wen Chao Dao Xuan Zhenren bowed slightly, and said loudly: "Xiao Fan grew up in the mountains and forests since he was a child, and his temperament is simple, with his character, he will never be an undercover agent sent by the Demon Sect......"

"Wait." Shangguan Ce smiled coldly, "If you say no, it's not?" Hum...... If you were his accomplice, it would not be impossible to shield him. ”

"Senior Shangguan, can you please let me finish speaking?" Mo Wen's eyes met Shangguan Ce's blade-like gaze calmly...... The smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger.

"Brother Shangguan is calm and don't be impatient, and let the apprentice finish his words." Dao Xuan Zhenren said: "No matter what, I, Qingyun, will definitely give an explanation to the people of the world!" ”

Shangguan Ce glanced at Mo Wen, and then turned his head.

“…… Not to mention that Xiao Fan was born and died for me Qingyun, let's just say that Xiao Fan's character will definitely not be a qualified spy, and," Mo Wen paused, looking at Zhang Xiaofan, who was still kneeling in the hall with his head bowed, "If he is a pawn buried by the people in the Demon Sect, they must first ensure Zhang Xiaofan's loyalty, and they must also be willing to risk turning their 'Holy Sect Supreme Treasure' Blood Devouring Bead into a waste product...... With such a big price, is the Demon Sect really willing to pay? The value of a single blood-devouring bead far exceeds the value of Xiao Fan as a spy...... What's more, the 'Great Brahman' True Method on his body couldn't have been taught by someone in the Demon Sect. ”

"Although there is a suspicion of exonerating him, there is still some truth." Dao Xuan Zhenren stroked his beard, "You're just defending him, there is no need to say this kind of thing, whether he is from the Demon Sect or not, but we must find out the origin of this blood devouring bead and the 'Great Brahma Prajna'." ”

"And my Incense Valley's Treasure Xuanhuo." Shangguan Ce sneered.

"Master, do you remember the bloody case five years ago?" Mo Wen's face was slightly gloomy, and he said slowly.

"Oh?" Dao Xuan Zhenren pondered for a moment, "Are you saying that he obtained the Blood Devouring Bead and the Great Brahma Prajna True Method at that time?" ”

"Exactly." Mo Wen nodded and said, "When I practiced in the first year of cultivation on the mountain, I felt that my luck was very difficult, and when I looked inside, there seemed to be a thin layer of golden light in my body blocking my cultivation, and these golden lights were ...... a year after I practiced At first, I thought it was a normal part of my practice, but now that I think about it, it's really strange. ”

"Golden Light ......" Dao Xuan Zhenren remembered that he had misunderstood the qualifications of Mo at that time, and his heart sank slightly, "You mean that someone who practiced Dafa Prajna saved you?" And then put a spell on you? ”

"That's exactly what the apprentice thinks." Mo Wen replied: "Before going up the mountain, Xiao Fan was a playful and carefree child all day long, and after going up the mountain, Xiao Fan practiced penance on the Big Bamboo Peak, where did he have time to find any blood devouring beads?" ”

"How do you know that Zhang Xiaofan is the Zhang Xiaofan you know?" Cangsong Daoren asked, "People in the Demon Sect can also pretend to be Zhang Xiaofan and blend into Qingyun." ”

"Where did Uncle Cangsong say this?" Mo Wen had expected it, and replied slowly: "The voice and appearance can be faked, but how can the memory and personality change lightly?" The disciple was sure that Xiao Fan had not been replaced by someone from the Demon Sect...... Maybe he's just keeping a promise, so he won't answer Master's question. ”

Zhang Xiaofan still knelt quietly, his face buried in the shadows with his head down, and others could only see his stiff side face and closed lips.

After a long time, Dao Xuan Zhenren raised his head, looked at Zhang Xiaofan with complicated eyes, and said slowly: "Zhang Xiaofan, can you tell us about the events of the year?" ”

"......" Zhang Xiaofan was silent.

"If there is really a hidden secret, I, Qingyun, will never let you be bullied by anyone." Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at the monks of Tianyin Temple and the people of Incense Valley, "But if you don't say anything, I will have to give an explanation to the people of the world." ”

"Master Master, I, I ......" Zhang Xiaofan Huo Ran raised his head, tears streaming down his eyes, "I forgive the disciple for not being able to speak." ”

"Good, good!" Dao Xuan Zhenren sighed, "Since you chose it, I will give it to ...... with your life."

"Slow down!"

At this moment, Lu Xueqi came out of the crowd and walked to the middle.

Master Shuiyue stood up in surprise when he saw that his proud protégé dared to interrupt the palm teaching's speech: "Qi'er! You are crazy? Come back! ”

Lu Xueqi's face turned pale, but she didn't take half a step back, stared at the Dao Xuan Zhenren in front of her and said, "Master Master, please allow the disciple to say a few words." ”

"What else is there to say?" Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at Lu Xueqi's determined gaze and sighed suddenly, "Okay, you can say it." ”

Lu Xueqi nodded and said, "Thank you, master." Master and uncle, I have no deep friendship with Senior Brother Zhang Xiaofan, but after the Seven Veins Martial Arts, I also went down the mountain with him, and on the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Caves of Kongsang Mountain and Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, I saw Senior Brother Zhang fighting to the death with the remnants of the Demon Sect, and he was definitely not a mole of the Demon Sect. ”

"What if it's not?" Shangguan Ce snorted coldly, "Then where did he get the Blood Devouring Bead and the Great Brahma Prajna?" Even if he is not a member of the Demon Cult, he must give us an explanation! I'll put my words in front first, the Xuanhuo Jian is the treasure of my Incense Burning Valley, and we must get it back! ”

"If the matter of the Great Brahma is worried about by the senior monks of Tianyin Temple, I Qingyun will definitely deal with it properly." Tian Buyi glared at Shangguan Ce angrily, "Brother Shangguan Dao, how can the treasure of your Incense Valley have a relationship with my apprentice?" ”

"Hmph, do the people of Dazhu Peak dare to admit it?" Shangguan Ce looked at Tian Buyi contemptuously.

Tian Buyi was suddenly furious, his fat face turned the color of pig liver, Huo Ran got up, holding the sword trick in his hand, and was about to make a move; Shangguan Ce did not show weakness either, and retracted his hands into his sleeves...... The atmosphere in the field suddenly became tense to the point of saber rattling.

"Senior Brother Tian, what are you doing? Sit down! Dao Xuan Zhenren Chong Tian was not easy to drink, then looked at Shangguan Ce, and said: "Brother Shangguan Dao, deal with it impartially, give you an explanation, and ask Brother Dao not to hurt people, this is Qingyun!" Dao Xuan Zhenren bit the word "Qingyun" very hard, and the intention was very obvious.

“…… I'm waiting for a real person's explanation. Shangguan Ce sneered a few times and sat back.

Seeing that Lu Xueqi was still standing in the hall, Master Shuiyue was slightly angry in his heart, and said, "Qi'er, you haven't come back yet!" ”

Lu Xueqi glanced at the master who raised her, shook her head slightly, and then looked at Dao Xuan Zhenren, and said: "Master Master, no matter what hardships Senior Brother Zhang has, but to say that he is my Qingyun traitor, I will never believe it!" Lu Xueqi knelt down as she spoke, and said categorically: "Disciple Lu Xueqi, I am willing to guarantee with my life!" ”

As soon as Lu Xueqi's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Lin Jingyu on the side couldn't bear it anymore after hearing this, and resolutely rushed out of the crowd, knelt with Zhang Xiaofan, and said loudly: "Disciple Lin Jingyu, I am also willing to guarantee Zhang Xiaofan with my life!" The disciple grew up with him since he was a child, and he knows that he is by no means an ungrateful person, let alone betraying Qingyun, please think twice! ”

[Hey, you're adding fuel to the fire.] Mo Wen looked at the master's increasingly ugly face, as well as Tian Ling'er, Zeng Shushu and others kneeling next to him, and sighed secretly.

At this time, Dao Xuan Zhenren felt that his lungs were about to be blown up by these young disciples, but at this time, many fellow Daoists of the Righteous Path were there, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, which was really uncomfortable.

"Ahem." At this time, Xiao Yicai coughed lightly twice behind Dao Xuan Zhenren, and whispered, "Master, do you want to go back and rest for a while, and then come back to deal with it later?" ”

"......Huh" Dao Xuan Zhenren let out a sigh of relief, slapped the table heavily, and the chaotic scene quieted down at that time, Dao Xuan Zhenren did not speak, and walked towards the inner hall with a cold snort, everyone looked at each other, puzzled, only Xiao Yi smiled with a smile on his face, and said: "There is an urgent matter in the back mountain, the teacher will deal with it, please wait for a while." ”

Shangguan Ce's face sneered: "Senior nephew Xiao, you have a lot of rules." ”

"The senior said it was funny." Xiao Yicai's eyes flashed......

"Feather, get up!" Mo Wen saw Dao Xuan Zhenren enter the back hall, and hurriedly pulled Lin Jingyu, who was kneeling on the ground, "Don't do this!" ”

"You care about me!" Lin Jingyu broke away from Mo Wen's pull.

"Some things don't work out with just a lot of blood." Mo Wen lowered his voice, but I believe that everyone present must be able to hear it, "Xiao Fan's matter originally had a chance to turn around, you forced the head so much that you didn't give the master a step...... You guys are forcing Xiao Fan to death! ”

"Feather, come back!" Cangsong Daoren hurriedly walked into the arena and dragged Lin Jingyu back, and by the way, he took the burning stick on the low table into his arms, and the other leaders suddenly realized when they saw this, and they all entered and pulled their disciples back.

And Lu Xueqi was directly pulled outside the Yuqing Hall by his senior sister, and Master Shuiyue also left her seat, as if she wanted to say something to her favorite disciple......

The Yuqing Hall slowly returned to silence.
