Taking advantage of the night, Ji Xiaowu came to the precept building Chen Jiemo Cave Mansion, just arrived at the door of the cave mansion, it happened that Qi Ming also came from a distance, the two met in front of the door, Ji Xiaowu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Senior brother Qi Ming." ”

Seeing that it was Ji Xiaowu, Qi Ming was surprised: "Little junior brother, are you back, when did you come back?"

"I came back at noon today, and after a rest, I came over to say goodbye to my master, but I didn't expect to meet my brother Qi here, and my brother still thought that after I finished asking for peace, I would go to my brother's residence again. ”

Seeing Ji Xiaowu return safely, Qi Ming also had a happy look on his face, and said: "Hehehe, I didn't expect you to go on this mission for so long, why is everything okay!"

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

"Well, then let's go in and see the master, fortunately you came back today, or you won't see me." Qi Ming said with an indifferent smile.

The two chatted while walking, and when Ji Xiaowu heard Qi Ming say this, he couldn't help asking, "Senior brother, what do you mean by this?"

"You guys come to my cultivation room!" Qi Ming was about to speak, when suddenly a voice sounded in the heads of the two of them at the same time, it was Chen Jiemo's voice, he already knew that the two of them had come in, and summoned them to the cultivation room.

The two glanced at each other, and came to the cultivation room together, this stone room was simply furnished, except for a huge bronze incense tripod placed in the middle, there were only a few futon tables and chairs around, and nothing else, at this time Chen Jiemo was sitting on the middle futon, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Both of them saluted Chen Jiemo and said, "Master." ”

"Sit down!"

Chen Jiemo nodded slightly, opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp, looking at Ji Xiaowu, his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of surprise, since the last time they met, it was a month ago, a month ago, Chen Jiemo obviously felt that Ji Xiaowu's breath was precipitated, more calm and introverted than before he left, and there was a vague sense of breakthrough, you must know how old Ji Xiaowu is this year, at such an age to break through the five tricks, he is already a genius in the sky, this time there are signs of breakthrough, and looking at the precipitation of his breath, it is not at all the kind that forcibly breaks through with the help of external forces, causing an unstable foundation.

Ji Xiaowu and Qi Ming sat on the futon opposite Chen Jiemo respectively, and when they saw Shizun looking at him with a serious face, Ji Xiaowu said with some surprise: "Shizun, is this something wrong with the student?"

Chen Jiemo smiled and said: "Hahaha, how can there be, it's just that the teacher sees that you have a vague breakthrough image, it is inevitable that I am a little surprised, it seems that this mission will benefit you a lot." ”

Hearing that Ji Xiaowu was about to break through again, Qi Ming on the side also showed a look of surprise, and admired this little junior brother who was more than ten years younger than him.

"The teacher has been overpraised, and when the student comes back this time, he really feels the signs of a breakthrough. ”

"Well, don't worry, take your time, laying a good foundation is the best policy, and only by building a high house can it be a matter of course. Chen Jiemo looked at the new student with satisfaction, and his heart was also happy, it was a blessing to have this good apprentice, and his vein was expected to be carried forward.

Chen Jiemo continued: "Tomorrow, your senior brother will go north to Xiangyang Pass, come to say goodbye to the teacher, you just happened to meet, but it was a coincidence. ”

Hearing that Qi Ming was going north, Ji Xiaowu was surprised, it was said that Qi was a magic array master, there was no need to go north to Xiangyang Pass to fight directly with the demon clan, he stayed in Xiangyang Academy, assisted Chen Jiemo in managing the precept building, and cultivated more students, which is the main thing, if he can train a few magic array masters, it will be more meritorious than going to the battlefield himself, why did he suddenly go north?

"Why is it so sudden, didn't Senior Brother Qi just retired from Xiangyang Pass a few years ago and stayed in the academy to train students? Why do you want to go north again?" Ji Xiaowu asked suspiciously.

Chen Jiemo sat down from the futon, looking at the night outside the mountain through the window, the cave was built on the mountainside at the back of the precept building, some stone rooms could see the scenery outside, the moon did not come out tonight, it seemed to be covered by dark clouds, extremely dark.

"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, Xiangyangguan may have to fight again!!" Chen Jiemo stood by the window and said with some sighs.

"What?" Ji Xiaowu was taken aback and stood up, these years, although the friction between the human race and the demon race has continued, but there has been no major war, since the big war in more than ten years, after the human race annihilated hundreds of thousands of elites of the demon race, the strength of the demon clan in Jizhou has been greatly damaged, and it has been in the stage of recuperation.

"It's a year, it's three years, the demon clan will definitely make a comeback, and there will be another war, and the human race will face a big war, Confucian Shuai saw the stakes, laid out in advance, and has begun to mobilize elite troops in Jizhou, secretly gathering near Xiangyang Pass, and the students of the various academies have also begun to lower the threshold, and go north to Xiangyang Pass to practice, leaving us little time, your senior brother is a magic circle master, and it will play a greater role on the battlefield, so I sent him too, after all, closing the door is not a shortcut, whether it is a cultivator or a magic circle master, it is necessary to temper in order to grow, I think this time you do the task, you should have a deep understanding of it？”

Hearing this, Ji Xiaowu nodded, this mission, the biggest gain for him is the cultivation of the magic circle, only at that kind of life and death juncture, at that kind of critical moment, you can realize what you don't usually have, this kind of perception can make you have a flash of inspiration, whether it is cultivation or mental will be greatly improved, now Ji Xiaowu can learn to expand the spirit array so quickly, it is also thanks to this pressure, and he has completely entered the ranks of junior magic array masters.

Chen Jiemo continued: "With the northward movement of the defense of all parts of Jizhou, the defense tasks of all parts of Jizhou will be much vacant, and the focus of your students' tasks in the past few years is to inspect all parts of Jizhou, assist in the encirclement and suppression of demon beasts, and protect the people everywhere. ”

Ji Xiaowu nodded and said, "Yes, the disciple is planning to do this." ”

"Well, the matter of your assassination by the Double Shadow Alliance, the teacher already knows, I didn't expect that after so many years, the Double Shadow Alliance was born again, and it was chosen at this juncture, if you want to say a coincidence, I don't believe it, don't do the task during this time, and don't leave the scope of the city, understand?"

Hearing that Ji Xiaowu was chased and killed by the Double Shadow Alliance, Qi Ming was taken aback, he also knew more or less about the Double Shadow Alliance, this assassination organization, the murderous reputation resounded throughout the Tianyuan Continent, hated by every race, but feared by every race, no one knew where their headquarters were, and no one knew who their alliance leader was and what the members were, this is an extremely mysterious organization, Qi Ming didn't expect Ji Xiaowu to be hunted down by such an organization, and he actually came back alive.

"Little junior brother, are you okay?" Qi Ming asked, still uneasy.

Ji Xiaowu smiled indifferently and said to Qi Ming: "Don't worry, senior brother, it's okay, the soldiers will cover the water and cover the earth, and besides, can't I stand here well?"

For Ji Xiaowu's open-mindedness and mentality, Chen Jiemo nodded with satisfaction, the monk cultivates, the first thing is to cultivate the mind, Mount Tai collapses in front and the color remains unchanged, so that he can be as immobile as a mountain, and the mind is one.

"By the way, speaking of the movements of the demon clan, the disciple suddenly remembered something, that is, the previous sneak attack on Xiangyang Mansion City by the demon clan, the disciple has always felt tired, I don't know if the master still remembers?"

Hearing Ji Xiaowu suddenly mention this matter, Chen Jiemo nodded and said: "For the teacher, I remember that I also discussed with Dean Chi after that time, and there was no eyebrows in the final investigation, why did I suddenly talk about this matter." ”

"When the disciple was in the Haiyue Dazun Cave Mansion, many people were separated by the organs in the Cave Mansion at that time, and Senior Brother Qi should also remember this incident. Ji Xiaowu turned his head to look at Qi Ming.

Qi Ming nodded, only to hear Ji Xiaowu continue: " At that time, we saw two corpses in the passage, both of them were members of my Discipline Building, those two corpses were killed by a sneak attack from behind by a sword, and they looked like they were killed when they died, and they didn't want to meet a strong enemy, the members of the Discipline Building were not weak, and the passage was very narrow, and it was inconvenient to hide at all, in that environment, they were attacked and died, I had an eye on it at the time, and I felt that this matter was a little strange, and then I asked Senior Brother Qi and Deacon Taiyan, and found that the Wu clan we met that time did not use swords, and the weapons they used were all unified kind of sharp knives and bows。 ”

Hearing this, Qi Ming on the side chuckled in his heart, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his eyes also showed a look of shock, and he said in a lost voice: "You mean to say that there are spies in the academy, those two members of the Discipline Building were killed by spies, impossible, this is absolutely impossible, the academy is shrouded in a large array, and if you want to enter and exit the academy, you can only go through the main gate, and the main gate has been set up to recognize the demon array, as long as the demon clan enters, it will return to its original form, at that time, we all entered and exited from the gate, how could there be a spies." ”

Hearing Qi Ming's explanation, Ji Xiaowu also fell into deep thought, this spy has always been Ji Xiaowu's judgment, and he has no substantive evidence to prove that this spy must exist, but he is always uneasy in his heart.

Seeing that Ji Xiaowu didn't refute, Qi Ming continued: "And we don't have any substantial evidence to prove that there were only human races and witch clans in the cave at that time, maybe there were other forces entering it, but we didn't meet it, and then we were good at concealment, and it was not impossible to sneak attack those two people, right." ”

"Could it really be that I'm thinking too much?" Ji Xiaowu muttered to himself.

Chen Jiemo watched the two of them talk, an unfathomable smile appeared on his lips, extremely short, extremely shallow, and disappeared in a flash, he always appreciated the caution of this disciple, this is a good thing, if you want to survive in this treacherous world, cultivate in this cruel cultivation world, without a city, you can't go far if you don't know how to be cautious.

"Okay, don't think about it, tomorrow I will arrange for someone to do another search, so that everyone in the academy is screened, how about that?"

Hearing this, no matter whether Ji Xiaowu's guess is true or not, it is the best, at least to prevent it from happening, Qi Ming also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Ann has also been invited, it's not too early, you senior brothers may not have seen each other for a long time, there must be a lot to talk about, after you arrive at Xiangyang Pass, you have to be more careful, I have also passed a letter to your senior brother, let him pick you up, retreat." ”

"It's the master, and the disciple will retire. ”

After speaking, they all respectfully exited the cultivation room, walked out of the cave, and the two of them hooked their shoulders and ran to Qi Ming's residence, planning to get drunk, and tomorrow Qi Ming will go north to Xiangyang Pass.
