Chapter 289: Conscience
Around the hall on the top of the mountain, there was silence, and there was no other figure except for the heavily armed guards who did not squint.
The place of the elders of the five major sects was solemn in the past, and no one dared to go to the top of the mountain to disturb the cultivation of the Elder Duguye, and without the convening of the Elder of the Sect, he did not even dare to climb the East Sword Peak easily. Today, after the turmoil of the guardian beast Flying Qilin, no one rushed here to wander around, and stayed away from Dongdao Peak with interest.
Looking up at the four big characters of the 'Transmission of Gong Palace', Lin Tian paused, took a deep breath, and strode in with the unconscious Zhang Zhiyang on his back.
In the magnificent hall of transmission of gong, dark, empty, and solemn, Lin Tian stopped, and after a while, his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the hall. Looking up, I saw that Elder Dugu Ye and Ye Beigong had been waiting at the end of the main hall for a long time, Elder Dugu Ye's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and it seemed to be traveling thousands of miles, Ye Beigong did not raise his head, holding a piece of cloth and constantly wiping the cyan long knife in his hand, and the two of them did not seem to notice Lin Tian's arrival without saying a word.
Lin Tian walked up and bowed, "Disciple Lin Tian, see Elder Dugu and Senior Brother Ye." ”
Ye Beigong still lowered his head and wiped the long knife in his hand without saying a word, while Elder Dugu Ye slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Zhiyang, who was unconscious behind Lin Tian.
"On the way to the Saiwai Bat Cave, our group was ambushed by the Demon God Sect in Yinmapo, Senior Brother Zhang Zhiyang was hit by the Demon God Sect's heart-piercing arrow in order to save me, and he fell unconscious after being poisoned, and asked Elder Dugu to save him!" Lin Tian took a few steps forward and carried Zhang Zhiyang to the bottom of Elder Dugu's throne.
Dugu Ye didn't speak, but just glanced condescendingly at Zhang Zhiyang on Lin Tian's back, his face gloomy.
"What, Elder Dugu, Senior Brother Zhang, he ......" Lin Tian had a bad premonition in his heart.
It was not easy to bring Zhang Zhiyang back to the sect, if Duguye, one of the five giants of the sect, was helpless, Zhang Zhiyang would really be helpless!
"It's difficult, if you are hit by the Demon God Sect's heart-piercing arrow, it is equivalent to stepping into the ghost gate, of course, there is no way to save him, but ......" Dugu Ye paused, and said in a deep voice: "Before saving people, Lin Tian, you first tell me, how did you anger the Flying Qilin......?" Do you know what the identity of the Flying Qilin is? What does it mean to anger this guardian beast like this?"
"This ......"
Lin Tian's heart sank, on the way, he knew that Elder Dugu Ye would ask this question, but when Dugu Ye really asked about it, he still couldn't help but get nervous. Dugu Ye, who was in a high position, was already solemn and full of words, but after he became angry, his momentum was even more compelling!
"Say!" Dugu Ye's face was expressionless, his voice was not loud, but his eyes were getting colder and colder, and the pressure on people was even greater.
"On the way, in order to save Senior Brother Zhang Zhiyang's life and prevent the poison from spreading in his body, I used a unique technique to seal his heart. When he arrived at the foot of the East Sword Peak, he unlocked the seal, and it was very likely that this move alarmed the sect's guardian beast Flying Qilin and made it misunderstand!" Lin Tian replied, pondered for a while, and decided to tell the truth.
The immortal sect is vast, and those who can become an elite disciple are none other than outstanding figures; those who can stand out from the elite disciples of the past generations and finally overcome obstacles to become a generation of sect giants are even more human essences among the human spirits, whether they are cultivation, mentality, or experience, they are all one in a million! To try to conceal or perfunctory the past in front of such a character is absolutely wishful thinking and stupid! To tell the truth, it is wise!
"Since it is to help Zhang Zhiyang seal his heart and save his life, then why do you have to break the seal under the East Sword Peak?" Dugu Ye asked.
"Because, I don't want people to know about that exercise. Lin Tian replied, his face bitter. He really didn't want to expose the magic seal technique, but unfortunately, he was careless for a while.
"What kind of exercise is that?" Dugu Ye asked again.
"Seal the Demon Seal, the famous peerless magic skill of the Demon God Sect!"
Lin Tian told the truth, and without waiting for Dugu Ye to ask, he took the initiative to continue: "This time I went down the mountain to sweep the bat cave, and many unexpected things happened, this magic skill, the disciple was deceived and inadvertently learned in the bat cave, and it was used to seal the overlord python and the night eagle king who suppressed the underground bat demon god in the bat cave. The disciple was incompetent and was inadvertently taken advantage of, but fortunately, he did not make a big mistake later. At the beginning, Hu Sai, the prince of Gaoche Kingdom, who secretly took refuge in the Demon God Sect, also said that this was a nameless exercise, and later, I learned that this was the sealing seal of one of the peerless demon skills of the Demon God Sect!"
In the face of a character like Elder Duguye, it is impossible to easily prevaricate and perfunctory the past, but Lin Tian did not tell the truth completely, true or false. The magic skill of sealing the demon seal is not important, the point is not to let Dugu be suspicious, and then reveal his true identity!
"Seal?"
Dugu Ye muttered, there was no big suspicion, and there was no accident, it seemed that it had already arrived, or found any clues from Zhang Zhiyang, still looked cold, and said coldly: "Lin Tian, tell me what happened to you, what did you encounter when you went down the mountain this time? Why did you delay coming back for so long, and besides, Shangguan Tu them, why haven't they come back yet?"
Duguye's face was gloomy, and he was very dissatisfied with the mission of Lin Tian and the others in the bat cave this time.
"It's a long story, Elder Dugu, let's go down the mountain this time......"
Speaking of the Bat Cave, Lin Tian's heart also sank, and under Duguye's forced gaze, he spoke slowly. From the tracking of the Demon God Cult to the ambush of the Drinking Horse Slope, then the plight of the Black Dragon Village, then to the counterattack of Stone Town, and then the adventures in the country of high cars and the Bat Cave...... , told the story one by one.
Dugu Ye listened quietly, his face became more and more heavy, Ye Beigong, who had been keeping his head down, didn't know when he stopped wiping the long knife in his hand, and listened to what happened quietly like Dugu Ye. Hearing the counterattack of Stone City and the defeat of the Demon God Sect master under the layout and command of General Li Han, a smile appeared on the face of Ye Beigong, who had always been indifferent, and when he heard what happened to Lin Tian and his party in the Bat Cave, especially when Zhao Shuangying, the Holy Maiden of the Demon God Sect, pretended to be Princess Xiangxiang of Gaoche Country and put the dagger on Lin Tian's neck, he couldn't help but get nervous.
The candlelight flickered, and the two rows of candles in front of Elder Duguye's throne made a slight crackling wax explosion from time to time.
In the dark hall of Gong Chuan, Elder Dugu Ye and Ye Beigong, the great disciple of the sect, did not say a word, only Lin Tian's voice echoed in the magnificent and empty hall.
Lin Tian was concise, but completely described the course of the incident, except for a few details, and told the experience of going down the mountain as it was. Of course, the matter of competing with Shangguan Tu will naturally not be said word for word.
"The bat demon god who was imprisoned in the depths of the underground almost broke out of the trap?" After a long time, the Elder Dugu Ye asked, his face unchanged, and he couldn't tell if he really didn't know that there was a demon god suppressed in the bat cave, or if he asked knowingly.
"Yes, Prince Housai's guy is too hateful, but what is really terrifying is Zhao Shuangying, the Holy Maiden of the Demon God Sect, whose methods are amazing, and she almost fell for her tricks to destroy the arrangement of our Xianmen predecessors and release the Bat Demon God!" Lin Tian replied, still feeling palpitations when he recalled his experience in the bat cave. Whether in his previous life or in this life, Zhao Shuangying is the most difficult devil he has ever encountered, not because of how high his cultivation is, but because he is obviously more than a step above the average big devil in terms of scheming, strategy and means, and she is worthy of being the first talented woman in the world.
"So, my apprentice Shangguan Tu really died in the bat cave?" Dugu Ye asked again, his voice hoarse, "Thirteen elite disciples of the sect went down the mountain, and in the end, only the five of you returned to the sect, and one of them was poisoned and unconscious! You all came back alive, but my apprentice, Shangguan Tu, who was ranked thirty-fifth in the Hundred People Hall, died instead?"
Duguye's voice became louder and louder, and the pressure rippling in the air increased sharply.
Lin Tian's heart was stunned, and he felt the invisible pressure coming to his face, and Ye Beigong, who was sitting on the side, his face became solemn. Shangguan Tu is the only existing disciple of the Gong Elder Dugu Ye, and on him, Dugu Ye has poured a lot of effort into cultivating him as the next generation of Gong Elders, counting on Shangguan Tu to inherit his mantle in the future;
The matter is very serious, much more serious than the turmoil of the Flying Qilin!
Ye Beigong still didn't say a word, but there was a trace of regret in his eyes when he looked at Lin Tian, such a big thing happened, the only personal disciple actually died, and the Elder Dugu Ye would never give up easily! Lin Tian, who had finally returned to the sect, was afraid that he would be in trouble.
Here it comes!
That's the trickiest thing, and you can't get around this place!
Lin Tian's heart was bitter, he took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, Elder Dugu, it's a pity that the disciple's shallow cultivation didn't save Senior Brother Shangguan. At that time, Senior Brother Yue Qingshan and the three of them were guarding and answering outside, Senior Brother Shangguan's death had nothing to do with them, Elder, if you want to blame, punish me Lin Tian alone. ”
"Say, how did Shangguan Tu die? My disciple really died under the claws of a tarantula?" Dugu Ye asked, word by word.
"Yes!"
Lin Tian insisted on it, avoided the important and light, and said truthfully and falsely: "The battle between the two guardian beasts of the Overlord Python and the Night Eagle King and the Bat Demon God made the entire bat cave shake, and on the way we escaped, Senior Brother Shangguan was accidentally overwhelmed by the tarantula swarm, and before we could come to our rescue, he was dragged into the second layer of the bat cave by a panicked tarantula, and then, the bat cave completely collapsed. ”
"Lie! Lin Tian, your heartbeat, your eyes, tell me you're lying! My disciple Shangguan Tu was killed by you!" Dugu Ye shouted angrily, Huo Ran stood up, pulled out the long knife hanging from his waist, and pointed at Lin Tian who was standing under the main hall. The blade was dark red, carved with dragon-shaped runes on it, lifelike as if it had been sealed with thousands of primeval dragons, and in an instant, the murderous aura soared into the sky, and a majestic and violent power fluctuation locked on Lin Tian's body.
High up in the sect, Dugu Ye, the elder of the Gong, who was known as one of the five giants, was furious and wanted to kill Lin Tian personally!
In the dark and magnificent hall of transmission of martial arts, there was an unparalleled pressure, which was even worse than the pressure of the guardian beast of the Flying Qilin! Dugu Ye was furious, and pulled out the Night Dragon Slayer Knife, which had been sealed in the dust for decades, as if he was going to kill Lin Tian on the spot to avenge Shangguan Tu!
Ye Beigong's eyelids jumped, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly used his strength to resist the increasing pressure. Lin Tian, who was standing at the bottom of the main hall, was the first to bear the brunt, feeling that there was a huge and heavy mountain that was even bigger than Dongdao Peak pressing down, and there was no way to dodge if he wanted to!
"Lin Tian, what kind of cultivation are you, and what kind of cultivation is my disciple Shangguan Tu?"
Dugu Ye paused word by word, the blade pointed directly at Lin Tian's eyebrows, his eyes were sharp, and he seemed to be able to see through any secrets in Lin Tian's heart, "The six congenital martial artists are safe and sound, but an innate grandmaster is dead inside, and he is still an elite sect who has experienced a hundred battles, Lin Tian, if someone else says so, do you believe it?"
The pressure rippling in the air is getting stronger and stronger, and Duguye is murderous.
Lin Tian was short of breath, and under Duguye's super pressure, although his waist was still straight, there was a drop of sweat the size of a bean on his forehead.
On the way back to the sect, he knew that this matter was very tricky, and it was difficult for Elder Dugu Ye to explain here; after returning to the sect, at this moment, he knew that he still underestimated Dugu Ye. Such a sect giant has long been calling for wind and rain to cultivate to the sky, and in front of him, he can't hide any secrets! Extremely subtle changes in expression, and even slight differences in breathing and heartbeat, all fall into the eyes of the other party! The murderous Night Dragon Slayer Knife in Duguye's hand is directed at his Dao heart!
Ask your heart!
After the Flying Qilin turmoil, Lin Tian ushered in a greater test after returning to the sect.
Under the pressure and coercion of Elder Duguye, he couldn't hold on, and his Dao heart collapsed. In the future, if you want to go further in cultivation, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky, and you will have to suffer from the tribulation of inner demons at every critical moment, and your inner demons are numerous!
