Under the guidance of their disciples, Zhang Ye and Elder Dingyuan came to a cave mansion, and demonic energy diffused from it, making everyone feel very uncomfortable.

"Could it be that a Demon Dao Cultivator has invaded Heavenly Dao City?" Elder Dingyuan's face was solemn.

By the way, the so-called good and evil are not mutually exclusive, not only the ideas, but also the exercises of the Demon Path and the Righteous Path are in conflict with each other and do not adapt to each other, so the Righteous Path Monk and the Demon Path Monk are inherently hostile.

The demonic qi in the cave is so strong that Elder Dingyuan has never seen it in his life, and he sensed it with his divine thoughts, and there was no demon to stay, so he ordered: "The disciples under the Yuan Ying are not allowed to enter, Xiaoqi, let's go in." ”

Entering it, the demonic qi is even more unbearable, only the monks above the Yuan Infant can resist it, otherwise ordinary monks will be seriously ill for a few years if they take a sip, no wonder Elder Dingyuan does not let ordinary monks enter.

The cave is very simple, there is only a puff mat, presumably a retreat place, and there are no valuable clues for the time being.

"Look at the wall. Elder Dingyuan reminded loudly.

Zhang Ye noticed the surrounding walls, and when he looked at it, he was suddenly stunned.

The text on the wall is scribbled, as if it was picked out with a fingernail, but this is not the key, the key every sentence is - "Zhang Ye, I will kill you!"

Zhang Ye felt a chill when he saw the murderous handwriting, and at this moment, Elder Dingyuan found a jade plaque that was broken into several pieces, and put it together, with the words "Heavenly Soldier Order" on it.

Elder Dingyuan pondered for a moment, as if he had a guess, but he didn't say it immediately, but asked Zhang Ye: "What do you see?" This can be regarded as cultivating Zhang Ye's ability to solve cases.

Zhang Ye said: "The Heavenly Soldier Pavilion and Zhang Ye have a vendetta, according to the text on the wall, it shows that the owner of the cave house hates Zhang Ye the most, plus the heavenly soldier order, I think the owner of the cave here is the ancestor of the heavenly soldiers." ”

Elder Dingyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Go on." ”

Zhang Ye said: "Previously, we identified the corpse of the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion, and there was no Heavenly Soldier Ancestor, combined with the damage to the mountain gate of the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion, it was from the inside out, I guess that the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion was killed, not caused by external enemies, but by the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor alone!"

Elder Dingyuan looked appreciative: "That's right. ”

Approved by Elder Dingyuan, Zhang Ye was puzzled: "But Heavenly Soldier Ancestor, why did he want to destroy the sect?"

Elder Dingyuan said, "Do you know where this demonic qi comes from?"

Zhang Ye shook his head, his realm was too low, and he didn't know much about high-level cultivation.

Elder Dingyuan continued: "The righteous path and the demonic path belong to the two cultivation schemes of human beings, one is to comprehend the heavenly way, and the other is to prove the way with strength. Demon cultivation is based on strength, do whatever you want, the stronger the demon in your heart, the higher your cultivation. ”

"Righteous monks, to comprehend the way of heaven, must suppress people's desires and demons, and this method of suppression is divided into mood suppression and venting suppression. ”

Mood suppression, can be understood as self-cultivation, Buddhism and Taoist monks are the best at it; venting suppression, is to occasionally obey the wishes of the demons, to kill, satisfy ** to weaken the power of the demons.

Some of the monks of the Heavenly Dao Palace, as soon as they left the sect, they were lawless, and it was very likely that they were venting their demons.

Generally speaking, demonic cultivators are not necessarily murderous, and may not be easy to kill by nature, and righteous monks are not necessarily all righteous people, and they may also harm innocents and vent their demons.

Zhang Ye did not improve the realm through cultivation, so he had no inner demons and could not understand. But Zhang Ye obviously asked the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor why he slaughtered the sect, and there must be a reason why Elder Dingyuan explained the difference between the righteous path and the demonic path.

Zhang Ye said thoughtfully: "Could it be that the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor slaughtered the Manmen because of the demons in his heart and vented his demons with killing?"

Elder Dingyuan's eyes were approving, and he appreciated the magical Taoist more and more, not only with peerless skills, but also with excellent minds, and he understood the key with a little mention, and it was not in vain for Elder's hard work.

Elder Dingyuan summed up 8 and said: "A few days ago, the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor went to assassinate Zhang Ye, but the result was unsuccessful, and he was seriously injured by the Immortal Ancestor and returned. When the monk is injured or weak-willed, he may be controlled by the demons, and the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor failed to kill Zhang Ye, and he is resentful, which makes the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor unable to suppress the inner demon, so he escapes into the demonic path. ”

"This kind of monk who is controlled by the demon in his heart and falls into the devil's path cannot be regarded as a demon cultivator, but a real demon. ”

Zhang Ye suddenly realized, it turned out that the ancestor of the Heavenly Soldier was driven crazy by himself, and the young master was powerful.

But Elder Dingyuan's next words made Zhang Ye fall into the ice cellar: "Although the monk who has fallen into the demon path has no normal consciousness and has become a killing machine, he will subconsciously fulfill his obsession, such as ......" Elder Dingyuan paused and looked at the words on the wall, "Kill Zhang Ye." ”

, the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor was originally a three-tribulation power, he fell into the Demon Dao, his strength was stronger, and he would have been afraid of the revenge of the Immortal Ancestor in the past, but if he fell into the Demon Dao and had no scruples, Zhang Ye would definitely die.

Elder Dingyuan looked at Zhang Ye with fright, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Although the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor is demonized, he is also afraid of the heroic righteousness of Heavenly Dao City, and he will inevitably lie dormant outside Heavenly Dao City and wait for the opportunity. ”

Lao Tzu is Zhang Ye! Zhang Ye wants to cry without tears.

However, Elder Dingyuan's next words made Zhang Ye think about it a little more: "Besides, my Heavenly Dao Sect will not allow the demonized monks to endanger the Eastern Regions, and when this matter is reported to the head of the Yuxu Sect, a nirvana order will be issued for the Eastern Regions, and the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor is wanted." ”

With the power of the Eastern Regions to kill the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor, hoping to destroy him, Zhang Ye also made up his mind that before the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor was killed, he would temporarily hide in the Heavenly Dao Palace and not go back.

......

Subsequently, the Heavenly Dao Palace announced the results of the investigation of the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion's annihilation tragedy, and issued a nirvana order in the Eastern Regions to get rid of the demonized Heavenly Soldier Ancestor.

For a moment, people were panicked. The major sects closed the mountain, and the scattered cultivators entered the Heavenly Dao City on a large scale to avoid disasters, and the city guard mansion also operated at full strength to ensure that no demons would take advantage of the situation.

But there is no shortage of third-rate sects in the Eastern Regions who gloat, the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion was destroyed, and there was a vacant one in that Tiandao Peak, I don't know which third-rate sect can be allowed to move in by the Heavenly Dao Palace, and the Lingtai Sect became a second-rate sect in this way, envying others.

However, the hopes of those small sects were ultimately disappointed, and the Heavenly Dao Palace, in the name of suppressing demonic energy, took over the Heavenly Dao Peak where the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion was located. It is said that the main peak where the Heavenly Dao Palace is located has collapsed, and he is worried that there is no place to place so many monks in the sect, and the destruction of the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion has come at the right time.

The cultivation realm is like this, the weak eat the strong, no one will regret the destruction of the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion, but because of the demonized Heavenly Soldier Ancestor, people will be scolded three times a day.

Of course, I heard that the goal of the Heavenly Soldier Ancestor was to kill Zhang Ye, and the city guard mansion sent additional manpower to consolidate the defense of the blacksmith shop for the sake of safety, and the monks who lined up to ask for the treasure were afraid of getting into trouble, and there were a lot less.

Everyone felt that Zhang Ye must be worried every day, but in fact, he was so ruthless in the Heavenly Dao Palace.

Because Zhang Ye is a deacon elder in charge of the rules and regulations of his duties, when he is free, he will receive a lot of gifts from monks when he is free, and he will receive a lot of gifts from monks, especially those who have ghosts in their hearts.

Zhang Ye's new official took office, and he must not fall into the hands of others, but the monks can give gifts to each other, so others give him spirit stones, Zhang Ye gives people calligraphy and paintings, and the calligraphy and paintings that the dog gnaws, if people get the treasure, they have to be framed and hung in the main hall.

Zhang Ye feels like he is so good, but he likes it so much.

On this day, after receiving a report from the disciple that there was a conflict between the disciples of the Sword Pavilion and the disciples of the Refining Instrument Hall, it was not the turn of Elder Dingyuan to inquire about this kind of matter, so Zhang Ye and another deacon elder immediately rushed over with men and horses.

Another deacon elder is in charge of discipline in the Law Enforcement Hall, nicknamed Lao Jiang, and he is responsible for the conflict between this disciple, but because he heard that the Refining Hall helped the Sword Pavilion refine the sword, and it involved negligence, Zhang Ye also had to go over.

Old Jiang is a cultivator who refines the void, and he may be a little unhappy that the magical Taoist can be on an equal footing with him, and he has some problems with Zhang Ye, although the two went to the refining hall together, but they didn't say anything all the way.

Zhang Ye didn't care, it was enough to do his own thing, and there was no need to look at Lao Jiang's face.

Soon, the law enforcement hall and his party came to the refining hall, there were two groups of people arguing at the gate of the refining hall, Zhang Ye was about to stop, Lao Jiang took the first step: "The law enforcement hall handles the case, you must not be presumptuous!"

This doesn't give Zhang Ye a chance to perform at all, but Zhang Ye doesn't care, just save your efforts.

When the quarrelling monks heard that the people from the Law Enforcement Hall were coming, they were afraid, stopped arguing, and saluted Old Jiang one after another: "Elder Jiang." ”

Immediately, everyone saw Zhang Ye again, and was about to greet the magical elder, but Lao Jiang interrupted everyone: "What the hell is going on? ”

Lao Jiang and the magical Taoist were obviously on the same level, but Lao Jiang deliberately put Zhang Ye aside with the attitude of a talker, and the monks all looked at it, but they didn't dare to say anything, and the person concerned stood up and began to explain the cause and effect.

A monk in the Sword Pavilion said, "Elder Jiang, you give me a comment, I worked hard to get together the materials for the high-grade spirit sword, and I paid the forging fee in full, and as a result, the refining hall only created a medium-grade spirit sword for me!"

The white-eyed ancestor of the Refining Instrument Hall was not here, even if he was, it would not be his turn to come forward for such a trivial matter, and a deacon elder of the Refining Instrument Hall said: "To create a magic weapon, I dare not say that it meets the requirements 100%, after all, it involves a success rate, no matter what the result is, bear the consequences by yourself, this is the rule of the Eastern Regions and even the entire cultivation realm!"

Zhang Ye is a blacksmith shop, hearing this, he thought it was true, asking someone to forge magic weapons and alchemy, it is the same truth, success or failure, the employer is conceited, but Zhang Ye has never failed.

The Sword Pavilion monk said: "I know that I will bear the consequences, but before refining, a disciple asked me for a bribe, saying that he would not give him a benefit fee and guarantee that he would not be able to refine successfully, at that time I sternly refused, but I didn't expect it to become what it is now, it is obvious that your Refining Hall did it on purpose!"

This is Zhang Ye's position, and he has to ask, but the old Jiang Yue said: "Is there such a thing? Call out the disciple who asked for a bribe!"

Zhang Ye frowned, Lao Jiang deliberately grabbed the words before, and it was okay to leave Zhang Ye aside, but the job regulations were within the scope of Zhang Ye's jurisdiction, and Lao Jiang still grabbed it, which was too much. However, in front of so many people, Zhang Ye couldn't tear up with Lao Jiang, so he couldn't hold back for the time being.

That old Jiang glanced at Zhang Ye with a contemptuous expression, the person who was favored by Elder Dingyuan was nothing more than that!
