Chapter 5: A Sword Kills
Lu Chen entered the Qingxiao Sect station, and a Qingxiao Sect disciple wearing a green robe blocked his way.
"Is there a dragon blood flower?" the middle-aged Qingyi disciple asked in a stiff tone, as if everyone owed him a hundred taels of gold.
"Your Excellency, please see. Lu Chen reached into the medicine bag with one hand and took out a bright dragon blood flower.
After the middle-aged Qingyi disciple saw the dragon blood flower in Lu Chen's hand, his face palened slightly, and his voice softened a lot, and said, "Come with me." ”
Lu Chen nodded and followed closely behind the middle-aged Qingyi disciple.
"It's here. The two kept interspersing in the tent group, and at a certain moment, the middle-aged disciple in Tsing Yi suddenly paused, looked back at Lu Chen and said.
Lu Chen was looking left and right, and if he hadn't stopped in time, he would have bumped into the middle-aged disciple in Tsing Yi. He looked up and saw that the teal tent in front of him was the tallest of the tents.
The middle-aged disciple in Tsing Yi noticed this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he still advised: "The elder of the sect is in charge, after you go in, don't be presumptuous and noisy." ”
Master Xie instructed. Lu Chen said, feeling a little nervous in his heart, he had grown so big, it was the first time he had seen a figure at the level of an elder of the three major sects.
Lu Chen's attitude was good, and the middle-aged Qingyi disciple nodded slightly, and said, "Don't be too nervous, go ahead." ”
After thanking him again, Lu Chen walked into the tent.
Entering the tent, Lu Chen's eyes swept and he only saw an old man in green clothes sitting in the first seat with his eyes closed. Although the old man in Tsing Yi closed his eyes and did not move, his body exuded a momentum of not being angry and self-imposing, which made the people who stepped in awe. Other than that, there are only a few simple tables and chairs in the tent.
"Lu Chen greets your lordship. Lu Chen bowed, glanced in the direction of the first seat, and saw the old man in Tsing Yi slowly open his eyes and look at him.
The moment the old man in Tsing Yi opened his eyes, Lu Chen only felt that the tent suddenly lit up.
"Where is the dragon's blood flower?" The old man in Tsing Yi retracted his eyes, looked at Lu Chen and asked lightly.
Lu Chen immediately determined that the dragon blood flower was still valuable, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and even held the dragon blood flower in his hand. Then he didn't react, he only felt a light in his hand, and the dragon blood flower flew into the hands of the old man in Tsing Yi as if it had wings.
"Good condition. The old man in Tsing Yi looked at the dragon blood flower, nodded with satisfaction, and asked routinely: "Are you willing to dedicate this dragon blood flower to the Qingxiao Sect." ”
"Lord Hui, Lu Chen is willing. Lu Chen said respectfully.
"Hmm. The old man in Tsing Yi looked at his head with satisfaction, "...... so"
"Whoa. ”
At this moment, a strange sound came, interrupting what the old man in Tsing Yi was about to say.
Isn't it said that the elders of the sect are in charge, don't be presumptuous and noisy! Lu Chen was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't wait to get the elixir and go back to Xianling Town to treat his grandfather. Turning his head to look, he saw a woman in Tsing Yi with a sword whose pretty face was like a layer of frost, and her eyes were full of anger as she stepped past her.
Because the person who broke in was a disciple of the Qingxiao Sect, the old man in Qingyi didn't get angry, frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
The female disciple in Tsing Yi with a sword fell to the ground on her knees, kowtowed sadly, and said, "Please Elder must be the master of the disciple." ”
The old man in Tsing Yi asked on the first seat, "What's the matter, is it that the disciples of the Red Fire Sect and the Seven Yin Valley have bullied you?"
"Elder Hui, this matter has nothing to do with the disciple, but it has to do with the disciple's own brother Yuhu. The female disciple in Tsing Yi shook her head, holding up some bits and pieces in each hand, a blood-stained rag on her left hand, and a dog-like bone on her right hand.
Lu Chen's eyes changed suddenly when he saw it, and he was bitter in his heart, and suddenly remembered that Yuhu seemed to have a sister in Qingxiao Sect. Could it be that this woman is this woman, this is really a narrow road. Fortunately, the female disciple in Tsing Yi with a sword lowered her head at the moment, and the eyes of the old man in Tsing Yi were on rags and broken bones.
Lu Chen suppressed a panic in his heart, secretly took a deep breath, and pretended not to know anything.
"What is this?" asked the old man in Tsing Yi in a deep voice.
"Elder Hui, my brother is a mortal, and this rag is the remnant of the clothes I sewed for him with my own hands. This broken bone...... What is this broken bone...... Be...... It's the only bones he has left!" The female disciple in Tsing Yi and the sword said that she couldn't cry at the end, and her hands holding up the broken bones and rags trembled even more.
Lu Chen now understood how the dragon blood flower had arrived in the hands of the old man in Tsing Yi and saw that the old man in Tsing Yi and the old man in Tsing Yi on the first seat poked out with his five fingers into claws, and the broken bones and rags turned into a streamer and fell on the first table.
"The bones are poisonous, poisoned into the bone marrow. Your brother must have been poisoned first, and then devoured by ghosts. It's just a mortal, if the disciples of the three major sects want to kill him, it will be easy for the person who killed your brother to kill him, and the person who killed your brother will definitely not be a disciple of the three major sects, but one of the people who entered the Flying Dragon Secret Realm before. This person is also a mortal, and is either good at using poison or carrying highly poisonous things on his body. ”
The old man in Tsing Yi carefully observed the broken bones and rags and said eloquently, Lu Chen heard this and beat a drum in his heart, this old man in Tsing Yi is so good!
The female disciple in Tsing Yi Saber thought for a moment when she heard this, and suddenly her eyes shot out of Sen's cold murderous aura, and she said coldly: "Elder Hui, the disciple knows who killed my younger brother Yuhu. The foolish brother Yuhu often corresponded with his disciples during his lifetime, and he often mentioned a mortal boy Lu Chen who opposed him in his letters. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen's heart chuckled.
"Oh. The old man in Tsing Yi was slightly surprised, and immediately asked, "Why are you so sure that this matter was done by that Lu Chen?"
The female disciple in Tsing Yi Sabre thought for a moment and explained, "The elder doesn't know, the disciple's hometown is the fairy town near here. And there is only one place in the fairy town that can produce highly poisonous things, and that is the Lu Family Medical Hall in the town, and that Lu Chen is the grandson of the old man in the Lu Family Medical Hall. This time, he also entered the Flying Dragon Secret Realm, so the disciple dared to conclude that he was the real culprit who killed my brother. ”
"I see. The old man in Tsing Yi nodded and said, "You go and bring this person over, if he really carries this kind of poison on his body, he must be the murderer of your brother." When the time comes, I will make the decision for you. ”
"Elder Xie. The female disciple in Tsing Yi slabbed her forehead on the ground, and then got up and was about to leave, when suddenly she caught a glimpse of a young man with a medicine bag tied around her waist, and her footsteps suddenly stopped.
The old man in Tsing Yi didn't know why, frowned and said, "Everything has been sorted out, why don't you go to that mortal boy?" Your brother is just a mortal. If that mortal boy is really a murderer, he will find the dragon blood flower in the Flying Dragon Secret Realm, and then bring the dragon blood flower to join the Red Fire Gate, or the Seven Yin Valley, this matter will not be easy to handle. ”
"Elder Hui, don't look for it, that Luchen is here. ”
After finishing speaking, only to hear a choking sound, the female disciple in Tsing Yi with a sword drew her sword and pointed at the young man who was standing silently on the side, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she scolded sharply: "Lu Chen, you killed my brother, go and bury my brother now." ”
Before the words fell, a sword light struck, and Lu Chen was so frightened that he instinctively dodged away.
"Pong. ”
Lu Chen had just ducked behind a wooden pillar inside the tent when the tip of his sword pierced through the wooden pillar, only an inch away from his throat.
His eyes focused on the tip of the Xue Liang sword that trembled lightly, and Lu Chen trembled for a while, even compared to what he encountered on the cliff in the Flying Dragon Secret Realm, he had never felt that death was so close to him.
"Help! Kill people! Look, the disciples of the Qingxiao Sect are bullying people and killing innocent people!" Lu Chen shouted loudly as he dodged through a row of wooden chairs.
Seeing this, the female disciple in Tsing Yi with a sword chased after her, and was about to kill Lu Chen with a sword on the spot.
"Stop!" shouted the old man in Tsing Yi. It's not because I'm afraid that the female disciple of Tsing Yi Saber will really kill Lu Chen, but because I am afraid that before Lu Chen is killed by the female disciple of Tsing Yi Saber again, he will shout out even more ugly words, which will attract people from the other two major sects to watch this place, making him embarrassed.
The female disciple in Tsing Yi with a sword was furious, and her murderous intent had been decided, and at this moment she ignored the order of the elders in the sect, and stabbed at Lu Chen one after another.
The old man in Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows, and in an instant, his palm slapped out, and a strong wind visible to the naked eye hit the wrist of the female disciple in Tsing Yi with a sword in the blink of an eye.
With a snap, the female disciple in Tsing Yi felt pain in her wrist, and the sword fell to the ground.
"Shut up!" the old man in Tsing Yi looked at Lu Chen and said coldly.
"Yes, sir. Lu Chen shrunk his neck.
"Are you Lu Chen?" asked the old man in Tsing Yi with a frown.
"Lord Hui, I'm Lu Chen. Lu Chen lowered his head and replied immediately.
Hearing the answer, the old man in Tsing Yi said secretly in his heart, it was really a coincidence. Lu Chen only felt that the eyes of the old man in Tsing Yi were two points brighter than before, and under the scrutiny of this bright gaze, Lu Chen felt like he was stripped naked, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Did you kill that Yuhu, if you confess, I can be the master and punish you lightly. ”
Lu Chen's eyes lowered and said, "Lord Hui, how to confess if you don't have it." ”
Hearing this, the old man in Tsing Yi looked at Lu Chen motionlessly, as if he wanted to see it through. "It's fine if you don't have it. After a while, the sharpness in the eyes of the old man in Tsing Yi disappeared, and he continued.
"Elder, he ......" The female disciple in Tsing Yi with a sword was in a hurry.
"Huh?" The old man in Tsing Yi lowered his eyes, and glanced lightly at the female disciple in Tsing Yi with a sword, and the latter's body trembled slightly, and he had to swallow his anger.
The old man in Tsing Yi no longer paid attention to her, thought for a while, looked at Lu Chen and said: "Lu Chen, you must already know that if a mortal picks up the dragon blood flower and dedicates it to a certain sect, he can exchange some precious things for this sect, or a panacea, or gold and silver treasures, or internal exercises, or external kung fu, which one do you want to choose." ”
"Isn't there still a rule for testing the cultivation root bones and entering the sect?" Lu Chen asked, and what the old man in Tsing Yi said seemed to be a little different from what he knew.
"Yes. ”
The old man in Tsing Yi didn't see a trace of surprise on his face, and said slowly: "I should have tested your cultivation root bones, and then entered the Qingxiao Sect according to the situation." However, I think you don't have the cultivation roots, you have no chance of martial arts in this life, and even if you enter the Qingxiao Sect, you will only be bullied, so let's stop this for you. ”
Lu Chen looked stunned, although he entered the Flying Dragon Secret Realm to pick dragon blood flowers, the most important thing was to save his grandfather's life, not to enter the Qingxiao Sect with this. But the old man in Tsing Yi said that he didn't have the cultivation roots, and Lu Chen still flashed a touch of depression in his heart.
However, this trace of negative emotions was fleeting, Lu Chen did not hesitate, and hurriedly said: "Lord Hui, Grandpa Lu Chen is old and seriously ill, Lu Chen wants to get a panacea to save his life." ”
Hearing this, the old man in Tsing Yi fumbled in his wide sleeves, and then raised his hand, and two things flew towards Lu Chen.
The speed at which things flew was not fast, and Lu Chen reached out to catch it steadily.
"The thing in your hand is a rejuvenation pill, which is turned into water and divided into ten sea bowls, one bowl a day, which is enough to cure diseases and save people. In addition, the dragon blood flower you brought is in good condition, and the one hundred taels of gold tickets are my reward for you. If nothing else, go yourself. ”
After speaking, the old man in Tsing Yi waved his hand.
One hundred taels of golden tickets are secondary, Lu Chen held the Rejuvenation Pill in his hand, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Lu Chen thanked my lord." ”
After thanking him, Lu Chen was about to leave the tent, when he happened to catch a glimpse of the cold gaze of the female disciple in Tsing Yi and the sword, and his heart sank slightly, and Lu Chen hurriedly left.
"Elder, disciple courage. Knowing that it was this Luchen who killed my brother Yuhu, why didn't you let me kill him and stop me from avenging my brother. ”
The female disciple in Tsing Yi with a sword was extremely unwilling, even if she faced the elders in the sect, she had to question it.
"Stupid!" shouted the old man in Tsing Yi, looking at the female disciple in Tsing Yi with a sword, who was scolded and still didn't know why.
The old man in Tsing Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Regardless of any personal grievances between your brother Yuhu and that Lu Chen, they are all mortals! Regardless of whether that Lu Chen is the real murderer of your brother or not, the three major sects are now gathered in one place, as a disciple of the Qingxiao Sect, but you killed a mortal who came to offer dragon blood flowers in the tent of the Qingxiao Sect, do you want to cut off other mortals from offering dragon blood flowers to the Qingxiao Sect, or do you want the Red Fire Gate and the Seven Yin Valley to see the jokes of our Qingxiao Sect?"
The voice of the old man in Tsing Yi was not loud, but it was like a hammer that hit the heart of the female disciple in Tsing Yi with a sword, she hurriedly held the hilt of the sword with both hands, the tip of the sword hung down, bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "The disciple knows his mistake, please punish the elder." ”
A hint of relief flashed on the face of the old man in Tsing Yi, and he said, "Then do you know why I didn't accept him into the sect?"
"Elder Hui, it's not because that Lu Chen doesn't have the cultivation root......
At this point, the female disciple in Tsing Yi and the sword suddenly seemed to understand something, her eyes lit up, and she arched her hand and said, "The disciple has thanked the elder for his great kindness!"
The old man in Tsing Yi waved his hand.
