Chapter 18: The Qingyun Rebellion

Qingyun Gate, Yuqing Palace.

At this time, there were many people waiting in the main hall standing or sitting.

Above the main seat of the main hall, the virtuous and respectful, the Dao Xuan Zhenren of the crane bone fairy wind sat there.

Next to his seat, there was a small coffee table, and on the coffee table was Zhang Xiaofan's magic weapon, the burning stick that he called "Soul Eater" in the future.

In the row on the right hand side of Dao Xuan, there was the first seat of each vein of Qingyun Gate, and everyone, including Tian Buyi, was sitting there.

And the elder disciples of the rest of the Qingyun Sect, sitting or standing, were all behind them.

On Dao Xuan's left hand side, there are many people Zhang Xiaofan has never seen, there are kind-looking monks, and there are old people with gloomy faces.

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes swept away, and he only saw a few familiar faces in that group of people, among them, the Fa Xiang and Fa Shan of Tianyin Temple were also there, and they all stood respectfully behind an old monk.

Zhang Xiaobo, Xiang Nanpeng, Wang Qingyun, and Lin Xiaoyue, together with Song Daren, Zhang Xiaofan, and Tian Ling'er, walked into the main hall under the leadership of Chang Jian.

After Chang Jian led a few people into the hall, he saluted Dao Xuan and said, "Master, Senior Brother Zhang of Dazhu Peak has arrived. ”

The people around him shook for a while, and their eyes moved over, not only Song Daren and a few people, but even Zhang Xiaobo and the four of them were a little uncomfortable.

Su Ru, who was sitting next to Tian Buyi, frowned, and said to a few people: "You stand here." ”

Song Daren and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and were about to walk over, but at this moment, Cangsong Daoren, who was sitting in front of Tian Buyi, suddenly coughed.

Tian Buyi's fat face twitched, but he still said coldly: "Old Seven, you stand there, the real person in charge and the seniors have something to ask you." ”

Zhang Xiaofan's footsteps just now seemed to hit a wall, and he stopped, and only after a while did he whisper: "Yes." ”

Zhang Xiaobo and the others stared at each other when they saw this, they are all young people in their twenties now, and they are much more mature, and they don't have to stand with Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaobo patted Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder and said softly: "Don't worry, without the nod of my Five Spirit Immortal Sect Leader, no one can hurt you." ”

Zhang Xiaofan glanced at the four of them gratefully, and now the only people in the world who can rely on him are these brothers and sisters from the same village.

They are the only ones who will protect him unconditionally regardless of the reason.

The four of them walked behind Tian Buyi, stood still beside Song Daren, and silently gave Zhang Xiaofan support.

Dao Xuan looked down expressionlessly, and saw a young man standing there alone between the crowd on both sides, with a slight nervousness and fear in his eyes, and even his hands were clenched into fists.

Is this really the orphan with ordinary qualifications in Caomiao Village back then?

He sighed secretly in his heart, and slowly spoke: "Zhang Xiaofan." ”

Zhang Xiaofan's body seemed to tremble slightly, slowly knelt down, and said in a low voice: "The disciple is here." ”

Dao Xuan looked at him and said, "These seniors next to him are all masters in my righteous path, and they are also here for you this time." ”

"This is the abbot of Tianyin Temple, Puhong Divine Monk, and sitting next to him is also the Divine Monk Pukong of Tianyin Temple, as well as Mr. Shangguan Ce of Incense Valley......"

Dao Xuan couldn't lose his manners, so he naturally wanted to say the names of the famous people in the back, but Zhang Xiaofan didn't have the heart to listen to it.

Zhang Xiaobo and the four of them observed carefully, these people were all world-famous masters in the cultivation realm.

But in their eyes, these people together are not as good as their own head and ancestor, because Li Fei is a land immortal in their minds.

"Zhang Xiaofan, now I ask you a few things, and you have to answer honestly."

Zhang Xiaofan said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Dao Xuan seemed to be considering the wording, and said slowly: "On this trip to Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, there are Taoist friends of Tianyin Temple who pointed out that the Taoist method you used when fighting with the strange beast Kui Niu is the true method of 'Great Brahma Prajna' that has never been passed on by Tianyin Temple, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Yes." ”

"What?"

There was an uproar in the main hall, although he had expected this answer, but after Zhang Xiaofan said it, the monks of Tianyin Temple still looked excited.

Only Puhong and Pukong, who were sitting in front, including Fa Xiang who was standing behind them, had their faces unchanged at all, and they were silent.

And on Qingyunmen's side, Tian Buyi's face became more and more ugly, and the faces of Tian Ling'er and the others were also extremely pale.

Zhang Xiaobo and the four of them looked at each other, not knowing what happened to this little brother in the same village.

In the midst of consternation, only Lu Xueqi looked at the silent figure and said nothing.

Dao Xuan frowned, and glanced at the Puhong Divine Monk of Tianyin Temple, but saw that in the excited looks of the people, Puhong slowly closed his eyes, and made it clear that he would not speak for the time being.

Dao Xuan snorted coldly in his heart, raised his hand and signaled to the noisy crowd to be quiet.

After all, his identity is not trivial, and soon both the Qingyun Sect and other factions were quiet.

I only heard Dao Xuan continue: "In addition, some people say that this burning stick in your hand ......"

As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the black rod and continued, "There is a Demon Sect's evil blood devouring bead among them, but is it true? ”

There was silence again, and Zhang Xiaofan said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

This time, everyone unexpectedly remained silent, and the blood devouring bead, this word full of bloody evil, would actually appear on the body of a Qingyunmen disciple.

Dao Xuan's face gradually became gloomy, and he said, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

"I ...... I ......"

Like a desperate but still struggling boat in the sea, Zhang Xiaofan opened his mouth blankly, but he didn't know what he was going to say?

Zhang Xiaobo and the four of them couldn't bear to see it, Lin Xiaoyue was Li Junyao's most beloved disciple, and Li Junyao was Li Fei's most beloved disciple.

It's because Li Junyao has never taken people from other sects very seriously.

As the saying goes, there is a master and his own apprentice, Lin Xiaoyue saw Zhang Xiaofan's appearance, and she didn't care that all the seniors in the cultivation world were all present, and said crisply: "Dao Xuan Zhenren, the ancestor of my sect once said that there is no good or evil in treasures, only people have them. ”

"This kind of thing is a magic weapon, if you use it rightly, if you use it evilly, if you use it, it is evil, although the blood-devouring bead is a treasure of the Demon Dao, but Xiaofan uses it to kill demons and eliminate demons, can you say that he is evil?"

Because of the silence in the hall, her words were particularly powerful.

As soon as her voice fell, where everyone in Xiaozhufeng was, Lu Xueqi, who was standing behind Master Shuiyue, suddenly opened her mouth and echoed: "Yes, the disciple once went down the mountain with Senior Brother Zhang. ”

"On the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Caves of Kongsang Mountain and Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, the disciple saw Senior Brother Zhang fighting to the death with the people of the Demon Sect, and he was definitely not a traitor of the Demon Sect."

Master Shuiyue's face changed, and he reprimanded: "Shut up, the head master asks, how can you interject?" ”

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but turn his head and looked at Lu Xueqi in a daze.

The mountain breeze outside the Yuqing Hall blew in at some point, swept up a few strands of her hair, and fluttered gently.

On top of the snow-white skin, in the frosty face, there suddenly seemed to be a faint tenderness.

His heart was hot, and the scenes of living and dying together under the abyss of the dead resurfaced in his mind.

But soon, another smiling face appeared in my mind, taking up all the space in my mind.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan was even more dazed.

Zhang Xiaobo and the others shined in Liubo Mountain, and the people in various factions were deeply impressed by them, and they all knew that they were members of the Five Spirits Immortal Sect.

When Lin Xiaoyue spoke at this time, no one felt that there was anything wrong with a junior speaking rashly, but felt that her words were not unreasonable.

Dao Xuan said to Lin Xiaoyue a little helplessly: "What Xiaoyou said is reasonable, but the problem now is not good or evil, the key is how did he come to this blood-devouring bead." ”

Lin Xiaoyue nodded when she heard this, looked at Zhang Xiaofan, and said softly: "Xiaofan, I know that you are definitely not a traitor of the Demon Dao, so you can tell the facts!" ”

Maybe it was Lin Xiaoyue who spoke for him, which made Zhang Xiaofan feel that he had something to rely on, and he finally let go and said it.

At the beginning, the following words naturally followed.

When I was a child, I was played by the monkey Xiao Gray, and later chased with Tian Ling'er to the back mountain valley, and the blood-devouring beads and the black monster stick suddenly fought, and finally merged with each other and changed into this shape.

All kinds of details, he said clearly.

On the top of the main hall, everyone looked at each other, and even Dao Xuan, Pu Hong, Pu Kong, and Shangguan Ce frowned.

The fact that the Blood Devouring Bead and the Soul Dementor Stick were smelted with blood was the first time that they, the cultivators, had heard of it, which showed that the world was so big, and it was really wonderful.

There are a lot of people who may be suspicious, but seeing Zhang Xiaofan's eyes slightly dull and his expression lost, it doesn't look like he is lying.

Dao Xuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhang Xiaofan, and said, "Okay, I'll believe your theory of accidental smelting." ”

"But before that, the blood-devouring bead is already on you, you are a child, how can there be such an evil thing?"

"Also, the Blood Devouring Bead has always sucked the blood of living creatures, and it was not smelted with the Dementor Stick at that time, how could you be safe?"

Zhang Xiaofan was speechless, the real reason for the matter was naturally that at the beginning, Puzhi used the true method of Buddhism to temporarily ban the blood devouring beads.

And Pu Zhi also told him that day to find an uninhabited and remote cliff to throw away, but he himself put away the bead as a souvenir.

If you say universal wisdom at this moment, it is naturally equivalent to saying everything.

It's just that this is what Zhang Xiaofan is deeply unwilling to say in his heart.

The kind old monk and himself actually only had a one-night fate.

He just called him the only "Master" when he ran out of oil and the lamp ran out, but after many years, he couldn't forget that person anyway.

In an instant, it seemed that the eyes and voices of the people around him had become so distant.

The scenery in front of him seemed to go back to many years ago, facing the old monk, the little boy stubbornly and firmly said to him: "I know, I won't say anything if I die." ”

I don't say anything about death.

I don't say anything about death...... I don't say anything about death...... I don't say anything about death......

"Say."

There was a loud shout, and the sound shook around, but it was Tian Buyi who frowned tightly and stood up angrily, startling everyone.

I saw that his face was extremely grim, but the worry in his eyes became heavier and heavier.

At this moment, what Zhang Xiaofan has admitted is all a big violation of Qingyunmen and the taboo of the righteous path, if it is common sense, I am afraid that I have to die, even if I have the protection of the Five Spirits Immortal Sect.

If the Five Spirits Immortal Sect was an unreasonable Demon Dao sect, it would be simpler, but they were the most reasonable sect.

If Zhang Xiaofan explained things clearly, if the truth was extenuating and there was the protection of the Five Spirits Immortal Sect, he would have no worries about his life.

But he didn't say anything, but it was the way to die, so Tian Buyi was so angry.

At this time, even Lin Xiaoyue and the others couldn't say anything, so they had to try their best to persuade Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaobo said: "Xiaofan, with my brother here, you don't have to be afraid of anything, you can tell if you have any grievances, if you are not guilty, no one can hurt you." ”

Wang Qingyun also said: "Yes, Xiaofan, what do you have to scruple about?" ”

Lin Xiaoyue said: "Xiaofan, you have been the most honest since you were a child, and you will never do bad things, you ...... You can say it! I'm in a hurry. ”

No matter how they persuaded him, Zhang Xiaofan slowly lowered his head and didn't say a word at this critical moment, as if he didn't say anything about everything.

Now even Zhang Xiaobo and a few people want to help him, but they are a little lacking in confidence.

Tian Buyi Huo Ran took a step, but before he could say anything or do anything, Puhong Monk, the abbot of Tianyin Temple, who had been silent, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Master Tian, let's discuss something slowly, don't be rude." ”

Tian Buyi was stunned, he didn't expect Master Puhong to suddenly speak for Zhang Xiaofan.

But Puhong Divine Monk was highly respected, and even the head of the Qingyun Sect like him didn't dare to disrespect his intentions, so he had to snort and sit back.

Dao Xuan glanced at Pu Hong lightly, frowned slightly, as if he was thinking, and then said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Also, where did you learn the Great Brahma Prajna True Law on your body?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately became nervous.

The key to this is that it has vaguely touched the undercurrent of the private background of the two major factions of the righteous path today, and this answer must be groundbreaking.

But Zhang Xiaofan still knelt there silently and didn't say a word for a long time.

Dao Xuan's pupils contracted, and he said coldly: "You still don't tell the truth?" ”

From beginning to end, he had been staring at Zhang Xiaofan's appearance, and suddenly lowered his head and stopped looking at him.

The world around him was silent, but it seemed to turn into a boundless huge invisible wall, sandwiching Zhang Xiaofan in the middle, squeezing coldly.

He slowly felt out of breath, but he still didn't speak.

Perhaps, even he doesn't know what he's insisting on, right?

Dao Xuan looked at Zhang Xiaobo and the others, and said, "A few little friends, you have also seen the situation, what else do you have to say?" ”

The four of them were silent, they all lowered their heads, and their eyes looking at Zhang Xiaofan were full of anger.

Seeing this, Dao Xuan knew this, he slapped the burning stick on the coffee table, Huo Ran stood up, obviously really angry.

He stared at Zhang Xiaofan and shouted, "Evil obstacles, don't think that if you don't open your mouth, I can't do anything about you." ”

Zhang Xiaofan's body trembled, and the expression on his face was extremely complicated, but he didn't open his mouth after all.

Zhang Xiaobo and the others were silent, and the situation did not change after that, Lu Xueqi, Lin Jingyu, Zeng Shushu, Tian Linger, and Qi Hao pleaded for Zhang Xiaofan one after another.

They all vouched for Zhang Xiaofan with their lives, but they committed Daoxuan's taboo.

Xiao Yicai saw that the situation was not good, and there was a reason that Dao Xuan needed to deal with something in the back mountain, so he temporarily asked Dao Xuan to leave the scene to calm down.

After he came back, it happened that Cangsong secretly plotted Dao Xuan and told the secret about Wan Jianyi a hundred years ago.

Then the four major factions of the Demon Sect attacked the mountain, and those people in the Incense Valley were all impersonated by the Demon Sect demons, and under a wave of attacks, Qingyunmen and Tianyin Temple suffered heavy casualties.

Zhang Xiaobo and the four of them escorted Zhang Xiaofan and fought and left, and retreated backwards.

When it was discovered that they were using the Five Spirit Immortal Technique, the people of the Demon Sect deliberately avoided them.

In Liubo Mountain before, the four of them clearly said that they only acted on their own behalf, but they didn't say so at this time.

Moreover, the Five Spirits Immortal Sect must have received the news about the matter of Liubo Mountain, and maybe it is coming.

If they hurt the disciples of the Immortal Sect at this time, and the Five Spirits Immortal Sect joined forces with the righteous path at that time, then their Demon Sect would have no way to live.

On the mountain behind the Yuqing Palace, Zhang Xiaobo, who was pulling Zhang Xiaofan, faintly heard what he had been muttering in his mouth.

After getting out of danger, Zhang Xiaobo turned around and asked, "Xiaofan, what have you been muttering?" ”

Zhang Xiaofan raised his head, and Zhang Xiaobo and the others were surprised to find that his eyes were glowing red at this time.

"It's him, it's him, it must be him, and the murderer of Caomiao Village is him."

The four of them were taken aback, Lin Xiaoyue grabbed his arm and asked urgently, "Who, who are you talking about?" ”

Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Cangsong, he was the one who used the true skill of the Divine Sword and Thunder in Caomiao Village back then. ”

The four of them instantly understood, and shouted angrily to Nanpeng: "That's right, he has betrayed Qingyunmen, secretly joined the Demon Sect, and it is not impossible to slaughter the village." ”

Lin Xiaoyue stomped her feet and said angrily: "Damn, our cultivation is insufficient, and we can't fight him at all." ”

Zhang Xiaobo said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Elder Chen has already returned to the Immortal Sect to report the news, I believe that the head master will come soon, and he will definitely be the master for us at that time." ”

Wang Qingyun said: "Yes, the head of the sect is here, and these demon sect demons are nothing more than local chickens and dogs." ”

The four of them decided to wait for the Immortal Sect to come, as for the battle between the righteous path and the Demon Sect, what did it have to do with them?

After this incident is over, it's a big deal to pull Xiao Fan and Jing Yu out of Qingyunmen and take them back to Immortal Sect.

Now that Qingyunmen has a blood feud with them, even if the two of them betray the sect, who can say anything?
