Chapter 32: The Eve of the Storm

On the coast of the East China Sea, in a small inn in Changhe City.

"Is this a blood-devouring orb?" Cangsong Daoren gently rubbed the cold cyan bead on the top of the burning stick with his fingers, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance.

Tian Buyi snorted coldly.

Xiao Yicai looked at his two elders and said in a low voice: "Two senior uncles, what should I do now, please give me advice?" ”

"Master Xiao's nephew has always been resourceful and decisive, and there is no need to hide any ideas, just say it." Cangsong Daoist put the 'burning stick' on the coffee table and replied lightly.

Xiao Yicai smiled bitterly when he heard this: "This matter has a lot to do, and I don't know what to say for a while." ”

Cang Song glanced at Tian Buyi, who was pale, and said: "The most troublesome thing now is those monks of Tianyin Temple, if it weren't for my Qingyun's friendship with him for several generations, and the pressure of the Fa, those jealous and hateful monks would have asked for someone from me a long time ago." ”

"Someone?" Tian Buyi sneered, "Our disciples under the Qingyun Sect, if something happens, it won't be their turn to take care of it first." ”

"And Li Xun of Incense Valley......" Xiao Yicai looked at the faces of the two and said: "Senior Brother Li Xun said that he and Senior Brother Zhang entered the lair of a group of demon foxes in the Black Stone Cave that day, and traced a treasure of their Incense Valley, but Senior Brother Zhang arrived first, and when they arrived, they saw that the demon fox was dead, but the treasure was nowhere to be seen, and Senior Brother Zhang said that he had not seen this treasure, and they felt strange at that time, and now it seems that it is mostly Senior Brother Zhang who stole ......."

"Vexatious!" Tian Buyi was furious, slapped his palm on the coffee table, and slapped a hole in it.

Xiao Yicai looked at Tian Buyi's angry appearance, and said cautiously: "The little nephew also thinks so, it's okay to shirk these things, it's just that the 'blood devouring bead' ......"

"This little brute!" Tian Buyi scolded angrily, and he didn't know what to say.

Cangsong Daoren continued: "This matter is so big, and it involves the Demon Sect and Tianyin Temple, let's go back to the mountain first, and ask the senior brother in charge to decide." ”

"Uncle Cangsong, I still have one more thing." Xiao Yicai's face changed several times, and finally gritted his teeth, "Ling Disciple Lin Jingyu also needs to be monitored well along the way......

"What do you mean by that?" Cangsong Daoren's eyes shot two sharp rays.

"Uncle Shi is angry." Xiao Yicai hurriedly surrendered his hand, "My junior brother Mo asked to monitor it...... After all, they all came out of Caomiao Village together, so I can't say ......."

Cangsong Daoren's face was very ugly, but in the end he nodded stiffly, "Okay, I know." ”

……

In another room of the inn, Mo Wen was sitting on a stool meditating and cultivating, while Lin Jingyu kept staring at Zhang Xiaofan and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Don't ask...... Is Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan really an undercover agent of the Demon Sect? After a long time, Lin Jingyu asked Mo Wen in a trembling voice.

Mo Wen opened his eyes and looked at Lin Jingyu's back, guessing his expression at this time, was silent for a while, and said, "You know it in your heart, why do you have to ask me?" ”

……

Zhang Xiaofan had a dream, a very ordinary dream, in a dream with a father and mother with a kind smile, and a childhood sweetheart...... But at the end of the dream, all the warmth turned into a cold corpse...... Zhang Xiaofan was so shocked that he woke up.

"Xiaofan, you're awake!" Lin Jingyu was overjoyed, and he didn't know where to throw his previous suspicions for a long time, "How does your body feel?" ”

"It's okay, I just had a nightmare." The corners of Zhang Xiaofan's mouth twitched slightly, and his voice was heavy, "Where are we now?" ”

"East China Sea Changhe City." Mo Wen replied faintly, "You kid is in big trouble." ”

"I know." Zhang Xiaofan pursed his lips stubbornly.

"Forget it, just look at your appearance and know that there is a secret, and you definitely won't say it." [Even if I didn't need to say it, I would have known it a long time ago.] Mo Wen secretly added in his heart.

"I ......" Zhang Xiaofan just wanted to say something, but Mo Wen waved his hand to stop him.

"Don't talk about it, just get some rest." Mo Wen raised his hand and threw Zhang Xiaofan a piece of green jade pendant, and then walked out, "This is something I got when I went out to practice, it has the effect of calming the mind and calming the qi, although it can't suppress the demonic energy of the blood beads, but it should also help you somewhat." ”

Lin Jingyu looked at Mo Wen's departing figure and was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhang Xiaofan lying on the field, and gritted his teeth, "Xiaofan, I'll go and ask Master to help you speak." He also walked out of the room, leaving Zhang Xiaofan alone in the room.

……

"Hey, fate is so cruel." Mo Wen sighed and walked out of the inn, looking at the gloomy sky, strolling alone on this bleak street. As he walked, Mo Wen suddenly saw two familiar figures.

A cloth banner that hangs its head in this windless weather, a cyan robe full of vicissitudes, and a red dress, so cute that the big-eyed Lori.

"Old man Zhou." Mo Wen stepped forward with a straight face, "What are you doing here?" Isn't it to help us subdue demons and eliminate demons? ”

As soon as Mo Wen's voice fell, Lori Xiaohuan laughed first, Zhou Zhou Xian listened to her granddaughter's crisp laughter, her face was a little unbearable, and she said angrily: "My old man can use you when he comes here?" ”

"Oh?" Mo Wen stared at the old god stick for a while, and said slowly: "Xiao Fan has now been involved in a big trouble, and the chaotic demon life you granddaughter said has begun to attack. ”

"What?" Zhou Xian raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that Qingyun was defeated in the East China Sea?" ”

"It's not a defeat." Mo Wen frowned slightly, and then bowed slightly, "Senior Zhou, you are well-informed, and the kid has something to ask." ”

"Say it." Zhou Xian saw that Mo Wen lowered his posture and twisted his beard proudly.

"I don't know if my personality will change?" Mo Wen's eyes lit up suddenly, "Or can it be changed?" ”

"Destiny?" Zhou Zhou Xian was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly, "In ancient books, it is said that the character of life can be changed...... However, they say that it is not the immortals and the like who can change their lives, or those legendary powers who live with heaven and earth...... Even the current Qingyun Palm Dao Xuan Zhenren doesn't have that ability, let alone you, a little guy from the ninth layer of the Jade Qing Realm. ”

“…… The predecessors are as wise as torches. Mo Wen was a little surprised, this week's immortal eye power was really peerless, and he could see through his current cultivation level at a glance.

"It's just that I've seen too much." Zhou Zhou Xian laughed at himself, and then asked Mo Zhengse: "There is still a kind of person who can change his life, but unfortunately, you are not that kind of person." ”

"That kind of person? Can the seniors be expressed? Mo asked.

"I don't know." Zhou Zhou Xian spread his hands very dryly, "Many books are vague, and I don't know what is so special about that kind of person...... But you definitely won't. ”

“…… Thank you for the advice of the seniors, the juniors have benefited a lot, and I will say goodbye in the next. Mo Wen was silent for a while, then saluted Zhou Xian and turned to leave.

[Hmph, you say it's not, it's not? Old fellow who looks down on people! Mo Wen secretly gritted his teeth.

"Grandpa, grandpa." Xiaohuan tugged at Zhou Xian's sleeve, "That person asked what these things were for...... Also, you're lying to someone again. ”

"This son is really blessed by heaven, and he can see his fate." Zhou Zhou Xian sighed, "But I really didn't lie to him, even if he doesn't have the 'Heavenly Guard' personality, he won't be the kind of person who can go against his fate...... How can a person who has no persistence and no goal create miracles? ”

"Oh?" Xiaohuan blinked his eyes and bit his fingers as if he didn't understand.

"Little girl, don't think about it so much." Zhou Zhou Xian kindly touched Xiaohuan's little head, "Now that both the Zheng and the Demon are ready to leave the East China Sea, let's go too." ”

"Hmm." Xiaohuan nodded.

"Old liar, stop!" Before Zhou Xian could take two steps, a crisp voice came from behind him. Zhou Xian was stunned when he heard this, but when he turned around, he saw an emerald green figure, and he immediately smiled bitterly......

……

Ten days later, the Ghost King Sect Master 10,000 people went to meet the Ten Thousand Poison Sect Master and Qingyun Mountain.

Half a month later, Qingyun Mountain leads to Tianfeng.

The early morning sunlight sprinkled on the ground through the window lattice, gilding the ground with a faint layer of gold, but Dao Xuan Zhenren obviously did not have a good mood to match this good weather, at this time, this righteous path giant was frowning and staring at the two proud disciples who sat down with a frown, his face sinking like water.

"Blood-devouring beads! Mahavan Prajna...... This Zhang Xiaofan's problem is too big. Dao Xuan Zhenren sighed after listening to his second apprentice's story, and then looked at his little apprentice, "Don't ask, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"Honorable Master." Mo Wen raised his head and said, "Xiao Fan has a simple temperament, and he is definitely not a traitor......

"It's okay......" After listening to two sentences, Dao Xuan Zhenren interrupted without waiting for Mo Wen to finish speaking, "The authorities are confused, you go down first." ”

"Master...... The disciple retired. Mo Wen wanted to say a few more words, but he couldn't say it anymore under the forced gaze of Dao Xuan Zhenren.

"Senior Brother Mo is just concerned about it." Xiao Yicai looked back at Mo Wen's departing back, and then said with a straight face: "Master, I think it's ......."

……

Big Bamboo Peak.

"Old Seventh ......" Tian Buyi looked at the little disciple in front of him who made him hate and love with complicated eyes, and said softly: "Do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Zhang Xiaofan raised his head, met Tian Buyi's gaze, and slowly shook his head.

Tian Buyi's face remained unchanged, but the hands under his sleeves quietly clenched his fists.

After a while, Tian Buyi sighed and said, "Qi Hao from Longshou Peak came to deliver the message just now," Tian Buyi said word by word, making it impossible to tell his mood at this time, "Early tomorrow morning, the head of Dao Xuanzhen will see you at the Yuqing Hall of Tongtian Peak." ”

Zhang Xiaofan's body shook.

"In the past few days, have your senior brothers been neglecting you?"

"Senior brothers...... It's all good for me. Zhang Xiaofan replied in a low voice.

Tian Buyi stopped talking again, and the room returned to silence...... After a long time, Tian Buyi sighed, looked at Zhang Xiaofan with serious eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Old Seven...... Let me ask you one last time, are you really sent by another undercover agent to spy on our Qingyun Tantra? ”

Zhang Xiaofan bit his lip, knelt down slowly, and said in a low but firm voice: "Master, I'm not, I didn't do anything to be sorry for you!" ”

Another long sigh...... By the time Zhang Xiaofan raised his head, Tian Buyi was gone.

……

"Senior brother, I'll go down the mountain." Only after leaving the Yuqing Palace, Mo Wen came directly to the mountain gate of Tongtian Peak.

"Senior Brother Mo, where are you going?" Chang Jian put down the book in his hand, "Is it Master's order?" ”

"It's not...... I'm going to see Xiao Fan, he's going to Tongtian Peak tomorrow......"

"That's right...... All right. Chang Jian pondered for a moment and agreed.

"Thank you, brother." Mo Wen bowed, and then Edgeworth flew out of the mountain gate.

"Young man......" Chang Jian shook his head and continued to pick up the scroll and read.

A quarter of an hour later, Mo Wen landed in front of the Great Bamboo Peak Meditation Hall.

"Bumper." Mo Wen knocked on the door lightly twice, and then waited quietly, the black bamboo made a slight "rustle" sound from time to time, which made the already deserted Dazhu Peak a little less fireworks in the world.

"Who?" Du Bishu opened the door and poked out a bitter face.

"Senior Brother Du, I'm here to find Xiaofan."

"Xiao Fan...... "Du Bishu was a little sad," he said...... He said that tomorrow the head of the Dao Dao Master Uncle will let me go to Tongtian Peak, I want to see the previous place again. ”

"Is the back mountain...... Mo Wen nodded, "Then I'll go...... I won't go to visit Uncle Tian, I guess Uncle Tian doesn't want to see me. ”

With that, Mo Wen got up and flew towards the back mountain.

……

The huge black bamboo that fell, the slight mountain breeze, and the teenagers and girls who hugged each other lovely.

These are the scenes that Mo Wen saw in the mountains behind Dazhu Peak.

"That's what happiness is...... Sweet and short-lived. Mo asked in a low voice, then coughed lightly.

"Who!" Baguio immediately jumped out of Zhang Xiaofan's arms, summoned the sad flower with one hand, and pressed the golden bell on his waist with the other.

"Miss Baguio is really bold, the only beloved daughter of the sect master of the Ghost King Sect dares to go to Qingyun Mountain like this." Mo Wen chuckled, "Is this the blindness of love?" "Hmm...... It's better to show affection to the guy. 】

Zhang Xiaofan was shocked when he heard that someone was coming, but he was relieved to see that it was Mo Wen who came, and said with a red face: "Mo Wen, what are you doing here?" ”

"I was going to talk to you about something, but I think I've seen something amazing." Mo asked, "Baguio girl, don't be like this, I'm not going to be bad for you." ”

"What," Baguio couldn't help but reply, "Aren't you, a righteous disciple, ready to subdue demons?" ”

"For me, your identity as a lover is more important than that of the Demon Sect." Mo Wen waved his hand, "Xiaofan, I want to ask you, what are you insisting on?" Can't even we say it? ”

"Yes." Zhang Xiaofan nodded slowly.

"Is it really that important?" Mo asked, "Is it even worth your life to persist and defend?" You have to know what you're going to face tomorrow. ”

Zhang Xiaofan was silent, and then said in a deep voice: "...... Either way, I won't say it. The tone was indescribably firm.

"Hey...... When I was a child, I knew that you were like this. Mo Wen put his hand on his forehead and sighed, "Get along well, I won't be a light bulb." ”

Zhang Xiaofan was embarrassed, although he didn't know what the light bulb meant, but he could still hear the ridicule in Mo Wen's words, seeing that Mo Wen turned around to leave, Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly called: "Don't ask!" That jade pendant is still ......"

"Keep it." Mo didn't look back, "It's useless for me to take it." ”

……

"He's really weird." Baguio took Zhang Xiaofan's hand, "You have known each other since childhood?" ”

"Hmm......" Zhang Xiaofan hung the jade pendant back on his waist, "He is an orphan and has been very assertive since he was a child...... We were all playing at that time, and he was the only one who used to help the adults with the work to support himself. ”

"Forget it, let's not talk about that person." Baguio Zhengse said: "Xiaofan, come with me, they will ...... tomorrow"

"No way!" Zhang Xiaofan shook his head decisively, "I won't leave Qingyun." ”

"Then you're going to die here?" Baguio's face was slightly gloomy.

Zhang Xiaofan clenched Baguio's hand: "Baguio, you don't know, Qingyun...... It's my home, I was raised by Master and Master, and I can't betray them. ”

"Your master scolds you all day long, and you still think of him?"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled slightly, and was not angry: "Baguio, although I am stupid, I can still understand some things, although the master is strict with me, he is really good for me...... Now this matter is actually all my fault, I have to keep my promise and deceive the master, I am willing to be punished, but it is absolutely impossible for me to betray Qingyun. ”

Baguio looked at him in a daze for a while, sighed, and said, "Where are you stupid?" No wonder my father said that you are wise and foolish, and you are among them. ”

Zhang Xiaofan's face was slightly red: "He, did he really say that about me?" ”

Baguio smiled without answering, and gently rested his head on his broad shoulder, "I know your temperament, and I can't force you to go, but now that you have our Holy Sect Treasure, and you have something to do with Tianyin Temple, it's really very dangerous...... You don't want to be fine. ”

"Okay, don't worry." Zhang Xiaofan moved Baguio's shoulders and stared at her, "It's not early, you better hurry down the mountain, what's the accident in the province...... See you later, later. ”

After saying that, Zhang Xiaofan let go of his hand and turned around slowly.

"Xiao Fan!" Baguio's face changed several times, and finally made up his mind, "When you were in the woods outside Xiaochi Town, you once saw an ancient well on a full moon night, I want to know, what did you see in the ancient well?" ”

"Wait, I'll tell you next time." Zhang Xiaofan's face turned red, and he seemed to have to leave......

……

The next day, in the early morning, accompanied by the melodious sound of bells, Tian Buyi and Su Ru took Tian Ling'er, Song Daren and Zhang Xiaofan to the Yuqing Palace.
