Chapter 11: The Disappearance of the Artifact (1)
After tossing and turning until dawn, Xie Qian felt that he could fall asleep while standing. Unexpectedly, when he was about to widen the black robe, there was a sound of footsteps outside the window.
She yawned and opened the door, and saw many Cangming Mountain disciples wearing the uniform white school uniforms of Cangming Mountain, hurriedly heading towards the main hall of Hanhai Cangming. Xie Qian thought that no one came to inform her, and it should have nothing to do with her, so she closed the door.
At this moment, Xia Ning saw Xie Qian, and his eyes were shining, and he rushed over and raised his sleeves to salute: "Little Sect Master Xie." ”
"Well, good morning." Xie Qian lazily leaned against the door frame and replied casually.
Xia Ning thought that she should be informed, so she continued: "Sect Master Xie, last night, Hanhai's condensation lamp disappeared with the third senior brother Zeng Jiang. The Yun Great Sect Master summoned the disciples of Hanhai and Cangying Mountain to the main hall to discuss matters, I wonder if the small sect master should go and take a look? ”
"What are you doing with the theft of the condensation lamp?" Xie Qian suddenly sobered up when he heard the news.
Xia Ning's face was suddenly sad, and he sighed deeply: "I heard that the little sect master Yun felt that there was a spiritual power coming out of the Hanhai last night, and he didn't care about it at that time. It wasn't until the stolen condensation lamp this morning that I thought that it should be Senior Brother Zeng Jiang and the Demon Realm who should have stolen it. ”
This was beyond Xie Qian's expectations.
Thinking about it carefully, the fact that the black qi that could easily enter the Cangying Valley before was probably due to the fact that it was in harmony with the monks of this sect.
Xie Qian, who had already decided to stay out of the matter, couldn't help but clench his fists. Thinking of the fellow disciples who worked together on the surface calling themselves "little sect masters", but in private they were calculating their own inner yuan golden pills, I felt a chill coming.
She tidied up her clothes, stepped out of the room and said, "You go and call Mu Chengye, and I'll go and see the situation too." ”
Xia Ning didn't understand why he called Mu Chengye in particular, but he could only nod his head and agree.
When they arrived at the main hall, all of Hanhai's disciples had already arrived. Their school uniforms are uniformly cyan robes, which are in stark contrast to Cangming Mountain.
Yun Qihe was counting the monks under his door, and asked questions one by one with sharp eyes. Inadvertently, he raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of Xie Qian, and after being slightly stunned, he frowned.
Xie Qian raised his sleeves and greeted him.
But it seemed that Yun Qihe didn't want to say hello simply, so he came to her and said sharply: "What are you doing?" ”
"I heard that the condensation lamp disappeared with my disciple Zeng Jiang, so I naturally wanted to come and take a look." Xie Qian is serious.
Yun Qihe's forehead was beating with green tendons, and he pinched it tightly and said coldly: "You don't have the spiritual power to join in the fun?" What else did he want to say, but when he saw Xia Ning from a distance that he actually brought Mu Chengye, he immediately whispered, "Are you mistaken, this is the main hall of the Immortal Gate, not a place for you to fall in love, what are you doing with bringing a Taoist couple?" ”
In the past two days, Mu Chengye's eyes were full of murderous aura when he saw Yun Qihe, and he looked like he was eager to get rid of him. Today, it seems to have eased up a bit, and he put on a look full of disdain, which made Yun Qihe angry when he looked at it.
Xie Qian didn't know why, and said lightly: "He is also a direct disciple of Xianmen, so he should be in attendance." ”
Yun Qihe couldn't find a rebuttal, gritted his teeth for a while, and then snorted coldly and walked away.
Mu Chengye, who walked into the main hall, walked over the moment he saw Xie Qian, and asked in a low voice, "Then Yun Tian is embarrassing you again?" ”
"Not really." Xie Qian smiled evilly, "Ever since I pretended to lose all my spiritual power, he was full of guilt in his heart. ”
Mu Chengye breathed a sigh of relief.
"But......" Xie Qian put away his smile and changed his words, "I called you here this time to listen to the situation, I may have to take care of this troublesome matter." ”
Mu Chengye sighed twice, and then fell silent.
As he spoke, Yun Xiaoyao walked out of the apse. He stood in front of everyone, coughed lightly, and the chatter suddenly stopped. His eyes scanned the crowd, and finally fixed on Xie Qian.
Xie Qian immediately stepped forward, raised his sleeves and bowed his head, "Master." ”
"Are you feeling better?" Yun Xiaoyao spoke with a hint of guilt. He was also there that day, but unfortunately he didn't have time to stop it. A good genius monk was actually harmed by his own son into this appearance, and the father is also responsible.
Xie Qian hooked the corners of his mouth and chuckled, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, it's no big deal." Although I can't use my spiritual power, the matter of the Immortal Gate is the most important thing, and it is related to my Cangming Mountain, so I will not stay out of it. ”
Yun Xiaoyao had an appreciative look in her eyes, relieved that she had found some fighting spirit in her decadent eyes.
He flicked his sleeves, regained his majesty, and described the theft of the condensation lamp last night. Speaking of Zeng Jiang's disappearance, I asked everyone if they had any special ideas.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to be the first to speak.
Yun Qihe was very casual, and after raising his hand to get permission, he spoke: "The disciple guesses that the condensation lamp must have been stolen by Zeng Jiang and the Demon Venerable. ”
"Don't be suspicious without evidence." Yun Xiaoyao said coldly, and turned his head to look at Xie Qian, as if he wanted to hear her opinion.
Xie Qian held his chin and thought about the wording, and then said seriously: "The disciple has completely opposite thoughts to the junior brother. ”
"But let's hear it." Yun Yaodao.
Xie Qian glanced at Mu Chengye and said, "The apprentice thinks that someone is deliberately blaming the Demon Venerable. ”
As soon as these words came out, the monks couldn't help but gasp.
Yun Xiaoyao's face turned pale, and he admonished in a low voice: "Wantong, don't talk nonsense!" That Demon Venerable has always coveted magic weapons, and there is absolutely no such thing as being blamed. ”
"I really think so." Xie Qian said righteously.
Yun Qihe couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this: "Senior sister, it is beyond my expectations every time. In this way, it seems that it is not without signs that the Demon Venerable came to ask for marriage, I am afraid that the two have already had some relationship. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Mu Chengye's mouth raised a smug smile.
Xie Qian glanced at him and continued: "Is it okay to ask the master to listen to my explanation?" ”
It seemed that he really had a headache about this matter, and Yun Xiaoyao's expression changed several times before nodding.
Xie Qian put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in the main hall and analyzed: "Actually, on the night when the hundred ghosts walked at night, the disciples were led to the bottom of the Cangying Valley by a cloud of black gas. That black qi tried to attack the apprentice several times, and the apprentice was almost robbed of the Neiyuan Jindan. And in the process of fighting it, it was obvious that its power was completely different from that of the Demon Venerable. ”
She didn't say anything about being saved by the Demon Venerable, worried that it would cause a greater misunderstanding to Mu Chengye.
"And I just stole the magic weapon, so it's impossible to come here openly, so I speculate that this matter has nothing to do with the Demon Venerable." Xie Qian concluded.
At the end of the narrative, everyone fell into deep thought.
Yun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered, he raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, and choked up: "Wan Tong, I never thought that although you seem to be idle on weekdays, you have investigated so much in private, and you have also fought with the Demon Venerable. I was moved by the teacher, and it seems that the rumors outside are really false. ”
"Master, you have misgrasped the point...... the corners of Xie Qian's mouth twitched, "And what are the rumors outside?" ”
Yun Xiaoyao stepped in front of Xie Qian, held her hand and said, "Wan Tong, I'm glad that you have finally come back, and I believe that your spiritual power will recover soon." ”
Where is this?
Xie Qian was inexplicable, but he still squeezed out a smile and said, "Master, let's talk about the theft of the condensation lamp first......
"I've thought about it for the teacher, this time I'm going to Tian'er to find Zeng Jiang's traces, you don't have to worry about recuperating from your injuries." Yun Xiaoyao interrupted.
Xie Qian immediately knelt down in front of Yun Xiaoyao and said, "Master, the apprentice has a reluctant request. ”
Yun Xiaoyao was taken aback by her, and wondered, "Do you still need anything?" ”
Xie Qian nodded: "I'm afraid there is something strange about this matter, and I don't think it was Zeng Jiang who did it." In addition, the apprentice has fought with the black qi once, and knows some of its weaknesses, so I hope that the apprentice will allow the apprentice to take my Cangying Mountain monk and the junior soldier to investigate in two ways. ”
Yun Qihe listened to it and couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "You don't trust me?" ”
Xie Qian didn't say anything, just stared at Yun Xiaoyao with burning eyes.
He was a little hesitant, and raised his hands to help Xie Qian.
Seeing that Yun Xiaoyao didn't agree, Mu Chengye also knelt down and said, "Please also ask the Yun Sect Master to allow the little sect master Xie to go down the mountain, we will definitely swear to protect the little sect master!" ”
Since Mu Chengye expressed his position, the other direct disciples couldn't say anything if they didn't express their position, and they all knelt on the ground to help plead.
Seeing this scene, Yun Xiaoyao was moved again. He nodded, narrowed his eyes and said, "Since Wan Tong has this heart, let's go." However, there are many difficulties and dangers in this journey, and there are dangers ......"
"The disciple must run away with the monks." Xie Qian said without hesitation.
“……”
Yun Xiaoyao covered his head and was silent for a while, and then said: "No, what you mean for a teacher is that if you encounter danger, please ask Wantong to notify you as a teacher." As he spoke, he took out a communication talisman from his bosom and handed it to her.
Xie Qian took it with both hands and put it in his arms, but he thought in his heart that as long as Mu Chengye was in any danger, he would not dare to come over.
After that, she randomly selected three monks who looked more stable and Mu Chengye to accompany her. Xia Ning stared at Xie Qian with blank eyes, resenting why he didn't choose him.
Of course Xie Qian will not choose him, he is timid and panicked, I am afraid that there will be no danger when the time comes.
Glancing at Xie Qian's chosen entourage, Yun Xiaoyao looked worried. He opened his mouth, but finally couldn't help but ask, "Wan Tong, are these people really okay?" ”
"Of course." Xie Qian said confidently.
If he wasn't afraid of other people's suspicions, he would definitely only take Mu Chengye alone this time.
Seeing that she was so persistent, Yun Xiaoyao was still not at ease. He took out dozens of spirit runes from his arms and stuffed them all into Xie Qian's hand. She was like a child who had gone away for the first time, forcibly stuffed with salutes by her parents.
When she saw that Yun Xiaoyao seemed to be about to take out the spirit talisman again, she stretched out her hand to stop it: "Master, it's really enough." ”
Yun Xiaoyao gently put away the hundreds of spirit runes he was holding in his hand, and still told him uneasily: "Then go and be more careful, don't forget to bring a sword." ”
"Definitely." After Xie Qian promised, he hurried out of the main hall with the selected monk as if fleeing for his life.
Walking down the stairs, Xie Qian felt a little heavy. For the first time since being reborn, he took the initiative to meddle in his affairs, and he was worried that he would repeat the mistakes of the past. She took two steps and stopped, wondering if she should go back and get her saber, though she probably wouldn't need it.
After hesitating, she saw something flying over, she subconsciously reached out to catch it, and found that it was her own saber. She inexplicably looked in the direction where the sword was flying, and happened to meet Yun Qihe's face where others owed him tens of thousands of taels.
He frowned, and said coldly: "Be more careful here." ”
Caring words are like provocations, except for their own junior brothers, no one in the world can do it.
Xie Qian chuckled, clenched his fist at Yun Qihe, and then turned around neatly.
Even if you don't need this sword, it's safe to carry it.
