163 Night sky
"Both...... Are they all dead?" Changqing Daoist held the handbook, his hand trembling slightly.
The Taoist priest next to him said in a low voice: "Yes - several foundation-building uncles of our Taoist temple were all at the scene, but they were involved in the explosion and none of them came back." Only the little Taoist priest who responded on the periphery saw it from a distance, and it was speculated from the scene that it should be the one who used some special means to die together, and the power was really amazing, and half of the West City was blown up. The surrounding monks were basically untouched. There is still a corpse of the monk who built the foundation, and the monks who entered the Dao are only fragments left, and they can't put them together. β
Changqing Daoist sighed: "Evil Gate, Evil Gate, a kid in the early stage of foundation building, what kind of ability does he have? I can't complain that it is from the Dao Palace, for him alone, I have five foundation building monks here, ah, and Changlin, six people." Is this deal worth it? Now that my Shouguan has become an empty shell, there are only two foundation building monks here, and those families will make trouble in the future, how can I restrain it?"
The Taoist priest hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord, I don't think you have to worry too much about those families. Their losses are no less than ours. When our people went to collect the corpses, they happened to meet the people of the Mu family, the Cheng family, and the Yan family, who were also rummaging for the corpses. It seems that they also sent people to act at the opportunity, but they were swept into it together, and Cheng Bo and Yan Qiu, who were already in the team, were even more in the center, leaving their bones gone. After our people met them, there was a conflict, and in the end we took action and drove them away. β
Changqing Daoist was stunned for a moment, and then he became angry, and scolded him: "Damn, stupid! Who asked you to collect the corpse in a big way? Are you still afraid that others will not know that we did it? There was also a conflict, bastard! Those families are all full of ghosts, since they are facing each other, I am afraid that they will see that the flaw is coming, and our key point will not be held in the palm of our hands? It seems that this time we will not be able to extinguish our mouths. Hmph, I heard that there is only one foundation building monk in each of their families, so why don't you take this opportunity to ......" He paused and said, "Please ask Mr. Qin to come and discuss important matters." β
The Taoist priest said, "Yes......" and turned to go out. Changqing Daoist slowly paced in the room alone, and said slowly: "Mistake, mistake." How did it come to this?"
After waiting for a while, the Taoist priest turned back and said with a panicked face: "Master, Mr. Qin is no longer here. β
"Not here?" Changqing Lao Dao repeated, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "How can he not be there......?"
The Taoist priest said, "I didn't say it...... But when I came in, I wanted to see him at the door. By the way, he came to talk to us. I don't remember exactly, but it seems that he let us into his room, and then brought us a cup of tea, and after eating, and then ......," he said, with a puzzled look, "and then I don't remember at all." The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable it became, as if that memory had been dug up.
Changqing Daoist gritted his teeth and said, "This ...... This bastard!" stretched out his hand and slapped it angrily, "It's in vain that I trust him so much, he has come up with random ideas to kill so many of us, and I haven't bothered with him yet." He ran before he could. Okay, it's really good......"
He said yes, his body trembled slightly, and finally said, "Let's go out...... You all go out ......."
When everyone went out, the Changqing Daoist sat down in a dejected manner, leaning against the wall, speechless for a long time.
After a while, the sun slowly set, and the shadow of the Evergreen Taoist priest leaning against the wall became longer and longer, and the oblique one was very ugly. He suddenly muttered, "Noβeveryone else is gone, what am I doing here? What's the point of this watchful viewer? It's a jiazi, and I've already fished enough things. It's better to go to a place outside the Dao Sect in the north to hide for a while, calm down and cultivate, with my years of accumulation, it is enough to cultivate quietly for a hundred years. Maybe I'm a real person. β
With the thought of it, he is also resolute and does what he says. The Changqing Daoist packed up his things and changed into civilian clothes. After all, he still has the face of a monk, and he didn't pretend to be a beggar and go out of the city, but just dressed up as a layman, put his accumulated belongings into a Qiankun bag, and took it with him.
In the middle of the night, no one in the Evergreen Taoist noticed, and a person jumped out of the wall of the Taoist temple, riding his own crane, and flew away.
The night breeze is cool, the evergreen Taoist sits alone on the crane, feels the oncoming night breeze, recalls his long years in the Taoist temple, ups and downs, only feels mixed feelings, a moment of pride, a moment of regret, all kinds of tastes are not enough for outsiders.
Suddenly, a sword light lit up in the dark sky in the distance.
The light was getting closer and closer, and when he saw the approach, the Evergreen Daoist squinted slightly, and saw a monk standing on top of the flying sword, shaking his hand, and said, "Is it the Evergreen Viewer in front?"
Changqing Daoist was stunned, his heart was cold, Suo stopped the crane, and said, "It's me, you are-" I saw that the person who came was a young man, his expression was not clear in the night sky, but his appearance and age were exactly the same as the Daomen messenger described in the letter he received, and a chill poured down from the top door, and he exclaimed: "You-you are not dead?"
The young man smiled and said, "Yes, thanks to you, I'm fine." If I die, the sins of fellow Taoists will be great. I'm not dead, isn't that a great good thing for fellow Daoists?"
The Evergreen Daoist stared at him for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Qin Yue mistook me ......"
The attack on the envoy of the Dao Palace failed, but he lost the lives of his subordinates, escaped alone and was stopped in the wilderness, his fate was already doomed, in his heart, he finally flashed extreme regret - if he didn't listen to Qin Yue's words and only concentrated on using spirit stones to move, even if he failed, at most he would receive a sin in the Dao Palace, why would he fall to death?
The young man arched his hand and said, "Cheng Jun has seen the Evergreen Viewer. Lord, now that you know my intentions, please press the crane and follow me to see the real guard. β
Changqing Daoren's face sank, and he said, "So far, what else is there to say? Since you have escaped the great calamity, I have no choice but to break the net." I see that you are young and promising, and your cultivation is not shallow, but if you want to keep me, hehe, I'm afraid you are still far away. As he spoke, a green light surrounded him, and a huge spiritual pressure fell from the sky.
Cheng Jun was only in the early stage of foundation building, and he was far from his cultivation, and under the spiritual pressure, the sword light flashed in an instant.
Seeing this situation, the Changqing Daoist was relieved, his face showed a hideous expression, and said: "Boy, you shouldn't have come to pester me. Now that I have been charged, I will die in the end, and I have to pull you to be a cushion. You give me my life-" The light in his hand spread, and the green light of the protective body turned into dotted flying feathers, and it hit Cheng Jun like a torrential rain.
Cheng Jun didn't love to fight either, the sword light under his feet was stunned, and he fell sharply downward. His flying sword is very powerful, and its speed is even better than that of the evergreen and old spells.
Changqing Lao Dao made a surname for a while, and said secretly: Until now, even if you gamble, you can't let me run away. Squinting at it, the bottom of the black pressure is a dense jungle, as long as he falls into the woods, the black light blind, will not be able to find, he is secretly anxious, he thinks the mount is too slow, spewed out a flying sword from his mouth, stepped on the sword light, and chased down.
Although Cheng Jun's speed is fast, it is not as fast as that old way, if the two of them chase in the sky one after the other, they will catch up after a while. But the two of them fell down at the same time, no matter how high the altitude was, it was limited, but in an instant, Cheng Jun had already fallen to the ground first, and he raised his hand to let go of the nail technique, protect his whole body, and landed steadily aside.
The Changqing Daoist followed him and landed, with green light all over his body, and the flying sword protected his body, holding a drop of water, and shouted: "Boy, where are you running now?"
Cheng Jun said: "Run, why should I run?"
Changqing Daoist sneered: "What, you are just alone, and you want to use the early stage of foundation building to single-handedly pick me up in the late stage of foundation building?"
Cheng Jun said: "Who told you that I was alone?"
Changqing Lao Dao subconsciously replied, "Qin Yue told me. β
Cheng Jun said with a smile: "You are really honest-didn't you just say that Qin Yue misunderstood you? Why do you listen to him now? He really misunderstood you." Suddenly he raised his hand, and a ray of light flew out.
In the woods, there were a few whistlings, and several figures walked out from behind the bushes, and the footsteps were uniform, as rigorous as an army. In the darkness, I saw that the people who came were a group of old men in Tsing Yi with sharp eyes like eagles and falcons, all expressionless, like ghosts, standing in a circle and surrounding the Evergreen Dao people.
The Evergreen Dao people probed and found that they were at least in the middle stage of foundation building, and a few of them were not under them. I couldn't help but be horrified and exclaimed, "Who are they?"
Cheng Jun said: "Have you heard about the Demon Removal Guardian Team of the Dao Palace?"
The people of Changqing Dao were shocked, only to feel that those mediocre-looking old Daoists were as terrifying as ghosts, and the muscles on their faces shook uncontrollably.
Cheng Jun said slowly: "Evergreen Viewer." When I came down this time, I also worked with the senior brothers of the Demon Elimination Guardian Team to protect me. They wouldn't have taken it easy, but you had the audacity to make a mistake and actually assassinate the messenger from the Dao Palace, it was no longer an ordinary violation of discipline, it was obviously a big rebellion, and the Demon Removal Guardian Dao team couldn't let you go. Even if you get lucky today, Yunzhou, Shengtian, and the northern kingdom have all set up a net of heaven and earth, where can you escape?"
As he spoke, he took a step back and arched his hand: "In the future, I will bother you senior brothers." β
What answered him was the uniform sound of the old man in Tsing Yi drawing his sword.
Cheng Jun slowly retreated into the mountains and forests, and at this point, his task was completed, and the rest of the things were not something he could participate in.
Coming out of the forest, Cheng Jun did not call the crane, nor did he release the sword light, but just walked slowly along the mountain forest all the way. Walking to the corner of a cliff, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Which master, I don't know if I can show up?"
