Chengling Hall, Taixu Hall, the first seat of the eight halls gathered, six men and two women, quiet and real people in the right position, the others were lined up left and right, and there were no serving disciples.

"Let's talk about it. "The speaker has a white beard, and he has the appearance of being born, so he is naturally a quiet and real person in charge of the Tianchuan faction.

"Senior Sister Lingmo, are you sure that person is a Shadow Demon Demon?" The hall master of the Shifting Star Hall, Tiancheng Dao, was dressed in a blue-gray Dao robe, and although his sideburns and white hair were long, his eyes were blazing. He was originally sitting on the first chair on the right hand side of the Qingyou Zhenren, but at this moment he couldn't help but stand up and ask first.

Lingmo nodded and replied, "There will be no mistake, Senior Brother Tiancheng, don't forget that it was this Shadow Demon who fought against my Qiushui Hall back then, and that person must be him." ”

As soon as she said this, the expressions of the other six halls became solemn, and they even looked at each other left and right, only the quiet real person sat in the hall and remained silent.

The eight people here have all participated in the battle of righteousness and demons that year, and the memories of the past are vivid, and many outstanding colleagues or seniors died in that battle, which is not tragic.

Xiao Che, the hall master of Luoyun Hall, was in a medium shape, a middle-aged man who did not smile, and said in a deep voice at this time: "There is a sword array seal in the Sealing Demon Valley, and there is a senior brother who guards the formation, if the shadow demon enters the human realm from now on, I should know that there will never be no movement, but now it has appeared quietly, and I am afraid that there will be something strange in this matter." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another person in the hall spoke again.

"Senior Brother in charge, I heard that the sword formation of the Sealed Demon Valley has changed a little in recent years, right?" Qu Yiyang, the first seat of Wangfeng Hall in the palace, sat on the first and second chairs on the left hand side with Zhao Huanran, the first seat of Yangjing Hall. He is casual and informal, humorous and funny on weekdays, and often laughs when he gets along with his disciples, but today's expression is different from the past, slightly dignified.

When he asked, the other hall masters were not surprised, as if they had heard about it, and they just looked at the real person one after another.

After a long time, Qingyou Zhencai slowly got up: "The enchantment of the Sealing Demon Valley has indeed weakened, but I have already gone to check, the sword array seal is still there, and there is nothing unusual, it is impossible for the Shadow Demon to enter the human realm from now on." However, you also know that the Tianzha Mountain Range is the head of the mountains of heaven and earth, and it is also the only channel that connects the human world and the demon world as we know at present. I held the eight-class trial in advance, and the intention was to draw out outstanding juniors as soon as possible to control foreign affairs. ”

"Senior brother, now that the matter has come to this, you have spoken to us bluntly, right? Do you want to open the sword formation to repair it?" Xiao Che glanced at everyone, knowing in his heart that it was not appropriate to ask questions, but he still couldn't help but speak.

The quiet real person on the seat did not shy away from hearing this, and said after a moment of silence: "Yes, the matter of sealing the Demon Valley is not trivial, and repairing the sword array is the only way. The Tianchuan Sect is now the head of the righteous path, and it has been passed into my hands for more than 2,000 years, and we must not cause chaos in the world because of our faction. ”

Xiao Che, the hall master of Luoyun Hall, seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by the hall master of Qingyi Hall, Ying Xindao, who was sitting next to him, with his hand. That Xiao Che glanced back at him, and finally sat down without saying a word.

Qingyou Zhenren waved his hand at this time: "Okay, let's not discuss the matter of repairing it now, let's talk about this shadow demon." ”

"Could it be that there is really a second passage between the human world and the demon world?" A slightly cold voice sounded in the main hall, and I saw that she was wearing a plain white robe, about thirty years old, quite young compared to other hall masters. The appearance is willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and even if he sits at the end, he is graceful and elegant. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be the first Shangguan Hanxue in Xianfeng Hall.

Tianchuan Eight Halls, only Qiushui and Xianfeng only accept female disciples, and the people in charge of them are also two female hall masters, Shangguan Hanxue is the youngest of the eight hall masters, but his thoughtfulness is better than most of the people present.

When she said this, it woke everyone up. The quiet real person on the seat also turned his gaze to her.

"I think what Senior Sister Shangguan said is not unreasonable, in the past, Master Yuhengzi left an ancient scroll, and it was indeed mentioned that there seems to be a second passage to the demon world in the human world. "Qingyi Hall Master Ying Xin Dao Chang said at this time.

"It's just that the second half of the scroll is missing, and there is not much record of this second passage, and even if it exists, how can it be explored?"

There were bursts of cranes chirping in the distance, and everyone was silent for a while.

In this way, it was not until the incense offering in front of the three Qings in the hall was nearly burned out that the Qing Yu Zhen asked, "How long is it until the Eight Halls?"

"Back to the senior brother in charge, today is the ninth day of the sixth month, and there are less than two months before the eighth hall test. Zhao Huanran sat close and blurted out back.

He pondered slightly, and then said slowly to everyone: "Let's put aside the matter of the shadow demon for the time being, I will repair two letters and send disciples to Linxian Island to tell Jingqi Temple, and then discuss it when the three factions gather." The eight classes of the test method are imminent, and I would like to take this opportunity to prepare for all of you. After thinking for a moment, he turned to Lingmo and whispered, "You must protect that woman and take her to the sky as soon as possible." ”

Lingmo nodded in agreement, and did not say much.

It was almost noon, and the quiet real person went to the apse, and everyone was ready to disperse one by one.

Chengling Hall is the main hall of the Tianchuan faction, and its scale and structure are better than other places. Outside the Taixu Hall is a long stone staircase, the white jade is the column, and the layers are falling. Looking directly from the palace, if you are in the clouds, you can take in the three in the distance, so it is not spectacular. At the end of the stone steps is the sword altar, and the disciples of Tianchuan all know that only after the sword altar can they resist the sword, and the hall masters are naturally no exception.

Lingmo and Shangguan Hanxue walked behind, walked to the long steps outside the hall together, and suddenly felt that a gaze stayed on her, so she turned around to check.

"Senior Brother Zhao, is there something wrong with you?" she saw Zhao Huanran following behind her, so she asked, and Shangguan Hanxue on one side also turned to look at him at this time.

Zhao Huanran obviously didn't expect the two in front of him to suddenly turn around, coughed twice in embarrassment, and hurriedly stuffed the oil paper package in his hand to Lingmo: "Tomorrow is her birthday, this Guanghan cake is her favorite food, you can help bring it to her......" After saying that, he hurriedly went down the long steps, at this moment, it seemed that others had the demeanor of the hall master, but he looked like a shy young man, but fortunately, the first seat walked fast, and no one else saw it.

Lingmo seemed a little confused, and it took a moment to wake up. glanced at the pastry in his hand, and couldn't help but smile at Shangguan Hanxue on the side, they are all hundreds of years old, how can they still be the same.

Because of the Guanghan cake in his hand, Lingmo returned to Qiushuitang and went directly to Qingxin Garden in Houshan.

"How is it? How does this Guanghan cake taste?" Lingmo asked with a meaningful smile.

"Not how. Although Qiao Yishuang said this, he still did not forget to pick up a piece in his hand and taste it carefully.

"I see you, you're just angry. This osmanthus bloomed in August, and now it is less than July, it is not easy for him to get this Guanghan cake, and he can remember your birthday so clearly, which can be regarded as a heart. You'd better go back to Yangjing early. Lingmo persuaded.

Although Qiao Yishuang was reckless, he also knew in his heart that Zhao Huanran had a lot of useful intentions in recent years, but he was still a little worried about that palm back then, so he said, "Are you trying to drive me away?"

"I don't dare, you can live in this Qingxin Garden for as long as you want. I just think that people who are hundreds of years old can't be so angry anymore. Besides, this Ying'er is so big, don't let the juniors laugh at it. ”

After she finished speaking, she sighed softly: "I don't know how long this peaceful and prosperous world can last......"

Qiao Yishuang heard that she was melancholy at the end of her words, so she changed the subject and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The Shadow Demon has appeared, not only is it a matter of my Tianqi faction, the senior brother in charge has sent his disciples to Jingqi Temple and Linxian Island to report the news, probably to invite the two factions to come to Tianqi Mountain to discuss this matter in the name of the Eight Halls of Dharma. ”

"People from Linxian Island are also coming?" Qiao Yishuang had already put aside the pastries on the table, frowning slightly at this moment.

Lingmo nodded: "It's not that you don't know the people of Linxian Island, don't talk about the shadow demon, it's just that there is only one thing about the Eight Halls Trial, and he Yang Duanyun will also go to Tianqi Mountain." Isn't Confucian magic just about paying attention to the strengths of the Bo family?"

Qiao Yishuang heard this: "This is also true, in order to study the Dao art deeply, didn't you also hold a three-faction trial?"

"The three factions are not just trying to see my Dao magic powers, in the past, I heard Uncle Lu say that Yi Xianfeng, the owner of Linxian Island, was very ambitious, and he had long coveted my position as the leader of the Heavenly Righteous Dao. If it weren't for the fact that our faction finally won the trial, I am afraid that the current position of leader has been replaced by him. Lingmo slowly explained the reason.

"I didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns, and the senior brother in charge invited the two factions to come this time, wanting to consolidate the status of the Tianqi faction?"

Lingmo didn't answer her, but looked at the windblown bamboo forest outside the window and said in a daze: "Our senior brother, what he thinks in his heart, others will never guess......"

Qiao Yishuang pondered silently, and only after a long time did he hear Lingmo say again: "That's it, after all, he is for this day's good ......."
