In a high-gate mansion in Tianmo City, hundreds of miles away from Guxiao Mountain, Zhou Zhengsong was sitting on a sandalwood chair. Beside him was a young man standing beside him, a look of displeasure on his face.

"Big brother, you are the third disciple of Yang Zhenren, and someone dares not to lend you a book, which is really not small. The young man said angrily, he was Zhou Zhengsong's younger brother Zhou Zhengbai at home.

"That man has something to rely on, and the backer behind him is tight. But if we can channel their veins to our use, it will be a great force. Zhou Zhengsong smiled faintly and said.

"Listen to the meaning of the eldest brother, but if you take that person under your command, you can let me take him out of my anger in the future, and then dare not borrow the spell book. Zhou Zhengbai said excitedly.

Zhou Zhengsong was too spoiled by his younger brother, and nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, okay, what you say is what it is." Wait for another two months, and after the eldest brother controls the entire Guxiao Gate and kills that old guy, everything is up to you. ”

Hearing his eldest brother's promise, Zhou Zhengbai was happy at first, and then said with some worry: "Big brother, will there be any danger this time?"

When Zhou Zhengsong heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at the direction of Guxiao Mountain outside the window, and said with emotion: "What danger can there be, all this is presided over by the City God of Tianmo City, big brother, I just went to respond to the scene, and when everything is in order, I will be the head." With the methods of the City God, it is a question whether the existence of Guxiao Gate will exist at that time. ”

Zhou Zhengbai immediately put his mind at ease and asked again: "According to the eldest brother, is the City God Lord going to show himself this time?" But that Gu Xiao's Yang Zhenren is very powerful, and I heard that his senior brother Xuchong Zhenren died at his hands, even if the City God Lord makes a move, it is too dangerous. ”

Zhou Zhengsong seemed to be extremely satisfied with his little brother's concern for him, patted Zhou Zhengbai's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, it's okay." Although the City God Lord may not reveal his Dharma Body this time, the small city gods in the Quartet in the Mill City will definitely go to this day, and they will be accompanied by thousands of Yin soldiers and spirit servants in the City God Temple, with such strength, how can there be any danger. Besides, this Tianmo City is the Chenghuang Divine Domain, although I have entered the Immortal Dao, but I must obey his orders here, otherwise I will definitely have a home and it will be difficult to return. ”

Zhou Zhengbai heard the words of his eldest brother Zhou Zhengsong, his face flashed with anger, and then he said helplessly: "Anyway, big brother, you must be careful, don't rush to the front to show off, otherwise it will be too dangerous." ”

"Hehe, big brother knows. On this day, in the grinding city, there is not only the eldest brother who is in the fairy road who has been recruited by the city god, and when the time comes, the brother will walk behind, and when all the dust settles, he will go to the front, so it will be okay. Zhou Zhengsong chuckled and shook his head, saying.

Ancient Xiao Gate, Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

Since the success of Chen Gong's Blood Sacrifice Red Flame Sword, he no longer needed to lose blood, and as the qi and blood in his body gradually recovered under the nourishment of the pill, he also began to practice swordsmanship.

Although his martial arts comprehension is still there, now this weak body is obviously no longer able to adapt to the previous battle intensity, so he must practice diligently, and cooperate with the sword technique to enhance his strength.

In addition to practicing swords, what Chen Gong has to do is to constantly warm up the sword. Although this Red Flame Sword was seriously damaged, it was once a super magic weapon ranked among the immortal weapons, and it was far from what Chen Gong's body could withstand now, so he couldn't collect the sword into his body for the time being, and he could only use his spiritual sense to continuously communicate and enhance the spirituality of the Red Flame Sword.

Day after day, the alien stars in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion are extinguished and the sun rises, day and night go back and forth.

In the attic, Chen Gong sat on the couch, the Red Flame Sword rotated around his body, and the longer he communicated with the Red Flame Sword, the larger the circle of the sword body turned, and the entire sword body trembled slightly, as if it could be stimulated at any time and stab out.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, it was the manifestation of the person in charge of delivering food, and when he arrived at the door, the Red Flame Sword, which had already floated several meters away, suddenly flickered in the void, and a red light flashed through the void, and the sword was returned to its sheath.

Xianhua clearly saw a red light flashing in front of him just now, thinking that his senior brother was practicing swords again, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Chen Gong sitting with his eyes closed, and the sword was not even unsheathed, and it was placed across his knees, so he thought that he had seen it wrong.

For more than a month, every time he delivered food, he saw Chen Gong meditating here, and he always wanted to ask what kind of spell Chen Gong was cultivating, but this time he finally couldn't help asking, "Senior brother, what kind of spell are you cultivating?"

Chen Gong opened his eyes, looked at the pure eyes of the manifestation, and said with a smile: "Senior brother is practicing swordsmanship. ”

Manifestation sighed and put the food in his hand. Although he had been by his side as a young apprentice of Xuchong Zhenren before, and he had heard Xuchong Zhenren talk a lot about Taoism, but after all, he was only a teenager, and he still didn't know much about what swordsmanship was.

He laid out Chen Gong's food, put away the dishes and chopsticks from the previous meal, and was about to leave, but Chen Gong suddenly frowned and asked, "Manifestation, what's wrong with your hands?"

Xianhua raised his head and said with a smile: "I was beaten by Senior Brother Xiantong." ”

He smiled very calmly, without the slightest resentment in it, and did not raise his hand to show Chen Gong, Chen Gong only saw a few bruises on the back of his hand, so he suddenly asked.

Listening to the words of manifestation, Chen Gong's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, how could the disciples of the real person seat not be treated in this Guxiao Sect, he still had some understanding, but he didn't want those people to let go of such a little child.

Chen Gong grabbed the manifest hand and pushed up his sleeves, only to see that his arms were full of red marks and bruises, accumulated and superimposed, I don't know how many, some are not long marked, some are almost healed, I don't know how long this manifestation has been eaten, how much suffering, Chen Gong's heart suddenly swelled with anger, and asked in a low voice: "Why did he beat you?"

"Senior Brother Xiantong said that I did something wrong and I should be punished. Manifestation said in a voice that was still immature, as if it had nothing to do with him, his eyes were bright and his voice pure.

Chen Gong felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, he couldn't see such a bully in his life, and the target was still such a child who had never been in the world, and a small child, no matter how he was, he should not be treated like this, just look at the scars on his hands, you can know that this is not a matter of one day or two days, once or twice, it is not so much a punishment as abuse.

However, Chen Gong didn't know Xiantong, so he immediately asked, "Who is Xiantong's disciple, did he say that you made any mistakes?"

"Xiantong is a registered disciple of the head of the family, and he is the chief steward of the kitchen. The manifestation replied.

"Then did he say that you made any mistakes?" Chen Gong continued.

After thinking about it for a while, he said in a low voice: "I don't know what mistakes I made, I make mistakes when I light the fire, I make mistakes when I carry water, I make mistakes when I chop wood, and I even make mistakes when serving tea and making tea." Brother, am I stupid?"

He didn't hear Chen Gong's answer, because Chen Gong had slowly closed his eyes at this time, and he was afraid that he would manifest and see the anger in his eyes.

After a while, Chen Gong opened his eyes, grabbed the weak but scarred little hand of the manifestation, pointed to the few bruises and said, "This should be the injury just now, what is the reason?"

Shenhua suddenly scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "This is because Senior Brother Xiantong said that I sent too many meals to Senior Brother. ”

Chen Gong was silent for a long time, but his voice became softer: "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts. Manifestation nodded.

"Will you cry?" said Chen Gong.

"I hid under the covers at night and cried, no one knew. Because Master said that men don't flick when they have tears, and although Master is gone, I can't let others know that I didn't listen to Master. Manifestation lowered his head and smiled, as if he was extremely proud of his cleverness, but the smile was extremely bright and pure.

Chen Gong couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, only felt that his smile was particularly dazzling, and couldn't help but avoid it, and said after a while: "If, I mean if, you have the opportunity to leave here, leave Guxiao Gate, are you willing to leave?"

The manifestation thought for a moment, and then replied crisply, "Yes." ”

Since he was willing, Chen Gong didn't say anything more, so he asked him to go back, and he didn't let him prepare anything, for fear that he would be too young and let that Xiantong find out something if he acted carelessly.

The night is getting thicker, and a waning moon hangs in the sky.

Chen Gong came to the elixir garden and looked at the white moon sitting on the grass roof under the stars and moon. In Chen Gong's opinion, today's Bai Yue seems to have completely abandoned her dependence and worship on herself, and has become a pure cultivator, perhaps in the entire Guxiao Sect, she is the only one who cultivates, and even herself has too many distracting thoughts, too many burdens and ideas.

After a long time, Bai Yue finished his work, looked at Chen Gong, and said with a rare expression: "Are you going to leave?"

Chen Gong replied: "Well, today I am here to say goodbye, and I will leave Guxiao Mountain in the next few days." ”

"It stands to reason that when you enter the Guxiao Gate, you should devote yourself to the Tao and not ask about the world. But today's Guxiaomen is no longer the original Guxiaomen, after the master and his old man sat down, this place really does not look like a place of pure cultivation, but it is a little more noisy than the world. If you want to leave, you can leave today. Bai Yue sat on the grass roof and said to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong is such a shrewd person, he only has a general understanding of what the situation is in this Gu Xiao Gate, but Bai Yue said that this Gu Xiao Gate is even more noisy and complicated than in the world, this naturally does not refer to the many people with many eyes, most of them refer to the power struggle in the gate. Moreover, Bai Yue did not have the slightest intention of stopping himself from leaving, but urged himself to leave today, which gave Chen Gong an ominous premonition that something big was about to happen in this Guxiao Gate.

He wanted to ask Bai Yue what would happen, but in the end he didn't speak. Bai Yue is no longer the Bai Yue of the past, not only emotionally, but also in terms of strength comparison, she is several times stronger than herself. There were rumors that Bai Yue's cultivation was not under the head Yang Xuanling, if something really happened, Chen Gong should be worried about himself.

"Since you choose to practice swordsmanship, you should not fight with others before the sword is completed, otherwise let the blood of others pollute the spirit of the sword, and your previous blood sacrifice and hard work will probably be ruined. Bai Yue explained lightly.

"Yes, Senior Sister. After I leave, I will choose a quiet place to meditate and cultivate, and I will never fight with others. Chen Gong said to Bai Yue, who was sitting on the grass hut.

Bai Yue sighed and said, "Where is there a quiet place in this world, whether it is to avoid or fight, you can control it yourself." You go, just remember that you are a disciple of Gu Xiaomen. ”

After speaking, she took out a piece of green jade from her arms, this green jade is about the size of the palm of the palm, shaped like a water droplet, and the front depicts a detailed mountain map, if Chen Gong can look down from the nine heavens, he will find that it is this Guxiao Mountain Range engraved on it.

Qingyu turned into a streamer and went towards Chen Gong****, Chen Gong turned his hand and took it, and started to warm it, with the body temperature on Bai Yue's body.
