When Ye Kui and the seven monks separated, Ye Kui came to the vicinity of a certain city that only monks could reach and enter, and one of the branches of Hongfeng Pavilion was in this city.

Strange to say, after Ye Kui approached the Hongfeng Pavilion branch in the city, Ye Kui found that there were no other monks in the Hongfeng Pavilion branch except for himself and the guys from Hongfeng Pavilion, and not long after Ye Kui entered the Hongfeng Pavilion branch, a guy from the Hongfeng Pavilion branch walked towards Ye Kui.

"This fellow Daoist, I'm really sorry, there has been some chaos in our Hongfeng Pavilion recently, which has caused us to suspend business, if Daoist friends are here to buy and sell items or information, then please come back after a while."

This guy from the Hongfeng Pavilion branch courted Ye Kui and apologized as he spoke, and his face also showed a trace of helplessness.

"Man, I don't know if it's just that your Hongfeng Pavilion branch has been affected and can't continue to operate, or is it that the Hongfeng Pavilion branch on the Tianque Continent is like this?"

Ye Kui asked suspiciously.

"This must have had a great impact, all the Hongfeng Pavilion branches have been suspended, and only some of the Hongfeng Pavilion branches have received orders from the Hongfeng Pavilion General Pavilion like ours.

The order given to us by the head of the Hongfeng Pavilion was to explain the situation to the monks who came to the branch of the Hongfeng Pavilion.

In addition, some monks in the monk world have also known about this matter, but there are also some monks who do not believe that if the Taoist friends meet other Taoist friends on the way back, they will bother the Taoist friends to help inform the other Taoist friends about the situation of our Hongfeng Pavilion."

After speaking, this guy from the Hongfeng Pavilion Branch had already taken Ye Kui outside the Hongfeng Pavilion Branch, and then this guy from the Hongfeng Pavilion Branch had apologized to Ye Kui for a few words before quickly returning to the Hongfeng Pavilion Branch.

"Things in Hongfeng Pavilion seem to be getting more and more troublesome, I thought that Hongfeng Pavilion would soon return to normal, but I didn't expect that things have almost paralyzed Hongfeng Pavilion."

Ye Kui, who had already left the city where the Hongfeng Pavilion branch was located, stood in the clouds and thought about the affairs of the Hongfeng Pavilion.

"Then go see that kid Jiang Zhijin, he might be looking for me everywhere."

Ye Kui, who had made a decision, immediately cast his wind twist and flew in the direction where the Qianxi Temple was.

After Ye Kui came to the Qianxi Temple, he found that the Qianxi Temple at this time was as quiet as before.

"It seems that the conflict between some Taoist priests of Qianxi Guan and some sword cultivators of Jianhuimen that those monks said before should be just a small fight for Qianxiguan, and the bet between Zhijin and the Yuan Zhiji of Jianhuimen has also not affected the daily life of Qianxiguan."

After standing outside the Qianxi Temple and watching for a while, Ye Kui walked into the Qianxi Temple.

However, this time, when Ye Kui walked into the Qianxi Temple, he was specially told by two Taoist priests, and the two Taoist priests asked Ye Kui not to approach a certain area of the Qianxi Temple as much as possible.

"The area that those two Taoist priests said is the opposite of the area where Zhi Jin lives, and I definitely won't be able to go there."

Ye Kui glanced back at the two Taoist priests before walking towards where Jiang Zhijin lived.

Along the way, Ye Kui found that there seemed to be fewer Taoist priests in the Qianxi Temple, and when those Taoist priests saw Ye Kui, their eyes paid attention to Ye Kui for a long time, as if there was something worthy of their attention on Ye Kui.

"How did the door lock?"

Ye Kui walked to the outside of the house where Jiang Zhijin lived and saw that the door was locked.

"This fellow Daoist, are you looking for Senior Brother Jiang?"

At this time, a young Taoist priest walked behind Ye Kui, and then the young Taoist priest found that Ye Kui had been standing in front of the house for a while, so the young Taoist priest took the initiative to ask Ye Kui.

"That's right, this Dao Master, do you know where Jiang Zhijin went?"

While Ye Kui answered the young Taoist, he also tried to understand Jiang Zhijin's current situation from the young Taoist.

"Poor Dao Hu Ming, I don't know what to call this fellow Daoist?"

However, the young Taoist friend on the other side did not immediately answer Ye Kui's question, but first reported his name, and then asked Ye Kui what his surname was.

"In Xia Ye Kui."

"Ye Daoyou, haven't you heard of Qian Xi

Have you seen anything that happened to the Buddha recently?"

"Could it be that the incident that Dao Chang Hu said was a matter of a fight between some Dao Masters of the Qianxi Temple and some of the sword cultivators of the Jianhui Sect?"

Ye Kui heard the young Taoist priest named Hu Ming on the other side say this, so Ye Kui immediately thought of what he had learned from several other monks on the way to feel pious.

"That's it, and Senior Brother Jiang was also there at the time."

"I heard that Zhi Jin lost to the Yuan Zhi of the Jianhui Sect, how is Zhi Jin's situation now?"

"Senior Brother Jiang's injuries have recovered a lot, and he should be following the Guan Master to the back mountain."

After Hu Ming finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction of the Qianxi Temple.

"Can't you go there?"

Ye Kui looked in the direction that Hu Ming pointed, and then Ye Kui found that that direction was the area that the other two Taoist priests in the Qianxi Temple had told him not to approach as much as possible.

"Ye Daoyou, since you also know that you are not allowed to enter over there, then please go back."

After Hu Ming replied to Ye Kui, he made a gesture of please.

"Daoist Hu, Zhi Jin, did they get punished after they clashed with the sword cultivators of the Jianhui Sect and returned to the Qianxi Temple?"

"It's natural."

"Daoist Hu, was Zhi Jin seriously injured at that time?"

"Ye Daoyou, I don't know this very well, that Hui Poor Dao is still performing tasks outside the Guan, as for Senior Brother Jiang, their affairs are still told by other senior brothers in the Guan.

It was his senior brother who said that Senior Brother Jiang would support each other when the other senior brothers and junior brothers returned to Qianxi Temple, and there were several injured senior brothers and brothers who passed out as soon as they returned to Qianxi Temple."

Hu Ming recalled the situation of that day before answering Ye Kui.

"Ye Daoyou, in fact, Poor Dao didn't mean to drive you away, and because several Daoists came to the Guanli to look for Senior Brother Jiang before, several of them waited outside the Guanli for several days without waiting for Senior Brother Jiang."

"Okay, then I'll wait a few days."

After Ye Kui answered Hu Ming, he walked out of Qianxi Temple, and then sat down in the stone pavilion near the mountainside of Qianxi Temple.

Four days later, the pious view was inside.

"Zhi Jin's door is still locked, it seems that I can't wait for him, I don't know when the Ten Springs Guan Master will put Zhi Jin back."

Ye Kui came to the front of Jiang Zhijin's house again, and then Ye Kui saw that the door was still locked.

"Ye Daoyou, it just so happened that you were here, and Poor Dao was still thinking about whether to go find you."

At this time, a few days ago, Ye Kui had seen that pious Taoist priest Hu Ming appeared in front of Ye Kui again.

"Daoist Hu, when are you looking for me?"

Ye Kui turned to look at Hu Ming on the right.

"Senior Brother Jiang, he may not return to this room for a while, Senior Brother Jiang, he may have to cultivate in the cave mansion in the back mountain for a period of time, if Ye Daoyou wants to go to the back mountain, then Poor Dao can take Ye Daoyou over, but I don't know if Senior Brother Jiang will see Ye Daoyou."

"Daoist Hu, what did you mean by your last sentence?"

"Don't hide it from Ye Daoyou, yesterday, Poor Dao went to the back mountain where Senior Brother Jiang's cave mansion is located, but at that time, Senior Brother Jiang's cave mansion was closed, but no matter how I shouted outside the cave mansion, Senior Brother Jiang in the cave mansion did not respond to the channel.

In addition, yesterday, Poor Dao heard from the senior brothers and sisters who passed by Senior Brother Jiang's cave mansion that Senior Brother Jiang had entered the cave two days ago, and he never came out since."

"Then it's going to be troublesome for Chief Hu Dao to lead the way."

Ye Kui immediately said to Hu Ming.

After a while, Ye Kui followed Hu Ming to a certain area of the mountain behind Qianxi Guan.

Ye Kui felt that if there was not this Taoist priest named Hu Ming along the way, then he might be blocked by the four waves of Taoist priests who came up to interrogate him just now.

"Ye Daoyou, Senior Brother Jiang is in this cave mansion, then I will go and do other things first, and then come to pick you up in half an hour."

"Don't worry, Daoist Hu can come back when he's done."

In Ye Kui and

After Hu Ming finished speaking, Ye Kui walked to the front of the cave and took a look.

"Jiang Zhijin, the good thing you did almost spread throughout the monk world, why did you shrink into the cave mansion? Shouldn't you show off to me the process of competing with that kendo Tianjiao called Yuan Zhiji of the Sword Huimen?"

Ye Kui, who was standing in front of the cave, took a few steps back after saying this.

After all, Ye Kui also knew that Jiang Zhijin had lost to the Yuan Zhiji of Jianhuimen, and at this time, Ye Kui just wanted to deliberately provoke Jiang Zhijin in the cave mansion and lure Jiang Zhijin out.

At that time, Jiang Zhijin might come out of the cave directly, so Ye Kui felt that it was better to open up some distance first.

But after Ye Kui finished saying the above words, there was still no movement in the cave.

"Jiang Zhijin, I just said that just now because I gave you face, in fact, I should have directly said that your shame has spread throughout the entire Tianque Continent, and now the monks in the monk world are laughing at you, saying that you will not be beaten to your knees and beg for mercy if you don't do your best, so you can only pinch your thigh and say cruel things."

Ye Kui began to continue.

"Could it be that Taoist priest named Hu Ming is lying to me? Jiang Zhijin is not here at all? Or did Jiang Zhijin just walk out of the cave before Hu Ming and I came here?"

After Ye Kui thought so, Ye Kui tried to perceive the situation in the cave for a while, but because there was also a magic circle in this cave that could isolate perception, Ye Kui could only give up and continue to perceive the situation in the cave in front of him.

So Ye Kui raised his hand and knocked on the stone door of the cave.

Just as Ye Kui was about to knock on the stone door of the cave, the stone door of the cave suddenly opened first.

"Ye Kui? What are you talking about? I just woke up."

At this time, Jiang Zhijin, who looked a little sloppy, walked out of the cave.

"Zhi Jin, are you really here?"

"Where else can I be if I'm not here? It's the same place where I live, but I usually like to go to another room to rest."

"Zhi Jin, what is going on with you and that Yuan Zhi of Jianhui Gate in the end?"

Ye Kui began to directly mention the matter of Jiang Zhijin and Yuan Zhiji.

"What's going on? Ye Kui, you can make it clear."

Jiang Zhijin replied to Ye Kui in a daze.

"Jiang Zhijin, what are you still pretending to do with me has not happened? As I said just now, the news of your bet with the Yuan Zhiji of the Jianhui Sect has spread throughout the monk world."

Ye Kui frowned and said to Jiang Zhijin.

"Uh... I was really in a bit of a hurry at the time, so... That's why..."

After Ye Kui talked about the bet in front of Jiang Zhijin, Jiang Zhijin, who was still thinking of pretending to be stupid, became a little distracted, after all, how could Jiang Zhijin, who was one of the parties involved, not remember what he said to the Yuan Zhiji of Jianhuimen.

"And then you pushed me out?"

Ye Kui questioned Jiang Zhijin opposite.

"Ye Kui, at that time... I didn't say your name directly, so don't wronged me."

Jiang Zhijin tried to refute Ye Kui.

"Yes, then you should find that friend of yours to fight the Yuan Zhiji of Jianhuimen, I hope you will be as tough as you are now when you kneel from the foot of Jianhuimen to the top of the mountain."

Ye Kui said that he was about to turn around and leave here.

"Huh? Ye Kui, you... Don't leave yet, let's go to my cave to talk about things, in case other brothers pass by here, I'll be embarrassed."

"Jiang Zhijin, could it be that you are afraid of being pointed at by other Taoist priests in the Qianxi Temple, so you are huddled alone in this cave and no one can see anyone?"

Ye Kui asked suspiciously.

"Go inside, and I'll answer you when you get to the cave."

Jiang Zhijin kept trying to get Ye Kui to follow him into the cave.

"Okay."

In fact, Ye Kui didn't plan to leave, so he still followed Jiang Zhijin into the cave.

After Jiang Zhijin closed the stone door outside the cave mansion and activated the magic circle that could isolate perception, he continued to communicate with Ye Kui on the two stools sitting at the table.

"Ye Kui, it stands to reason that you can't walk into this area, right, and those Taoist priests in charge of patrolling didn't stop you? Don't tell me, you forced your way here."

Jiang Zhijin asked Ye Kui a little nervously.

"It was a Taoist priest who called himself Hu Ming who first told me that you were willing to be here, and then I asked Daoist Hu to bring me here, and on the way, Daoist Hu and I were also stopped by several other waves of Taoist priests from entering here, but fortunately, Daoist Hu opened those Taoist priests for me."

Hearing Jiang Zhijin on the other side ask, Ye Kui explained to Jiang Zhijin how he came to the outside of this cave.

In addition, Ye Kui also took advantage of Jiang Zhijin's inattention to look at the wall in this cave mansion, and Ye Kui found that there seemed to be some scratches on the wall.

Then I don't know if it was out of helplessness or what, Ye Kui pursed his lips, but the process was very short, and when Jiang Zhijin on the opposite side looked over, Ye Kui returned to his normal expression.

"Hu Ming? Oh, Ye Kui, you're talking about Senior Brother Hu, it turned out to be him, but usually Senior Brother Hu's relationship with me is relatively ordinary, how can he care so much about things related to me?"

Jiang Zhijin was thoughtful.

"Zhi Jin, this Daoist Hu said that his family had come to the outside of your cave yesterday, and then Daoist Hu called you outside the cave for a while, but you didn't go out to see him at that time.".

"Yesterday I was more tired than today, and I couldn't even get up at that time, how could I open the stone door of the cave and walk out of the cave to see Senior Brother Hu?"

Jiang Zhijin explained helplessly.

"And what is the identity of that nonsense chief? I remember that the Taoist priests who were in charge of patrolling this area were quite respectful to Daoist Hu."

After hearing Jiang Zhijin's explanation, Ye Kui tried to ask Jiang Zhijin about the Taoist priest named Hu Ming.

"Ye Kui, there is something you may not know, as soon as the Taoist priests who were in charge of patrolling this area saw me, they had to stop and say hello, and afterwards I persuaded them for half a year before they could treat me like an ordinary Taoist priest.

As for Senior Brother Hu Ming, he is a personal disciple of my master, Master Shiquan Guan, so Senior Brother Hu's status in the Qianxi Temple is quite high."

"It turns out that Daochang Hu is the personal disciple of the Cocoon Dudao Chief, Zhi Jin, just now you also said that the relationship between you and Daoist Hu is a bit ordinary, so I think Daochang Hu may have something that needs your help, so I plan to meet you.

That's why at the beginning, Daoist Hu showed such enthusiasm when he knew that I was here to find you, and he also brought me to your cave."

Ye Kui thought for a while before expressing his opinion to Jiang Zhijin.

"Ye Kui, let's not care about Senior Brother Hu's affairs for now, let's continue to talk about my bet with Yuan Zhiji."

Jiang Zhijin took the initiative to change the topic to the gambling contract.

"Also, that Jiang Zhijin, at that time, you said that the Buddha's friend in front of those pious Xiguan Taoist priests and Jianhuimen sword cultivators shouldn't be me, right?"

Ye Kui asked Jiang Zhijin expressionlessly.

"Ye Kui, the friend I said about is higher in kendo than Yuan Zhiji, so you still need to guess?"

"I'm not going to fight that Yuan Zhi of the Jianhui Gate, that's your business."

Ye Kui had already guessed who the sword cultivation friend Jiang Zhijin and Yuan Zhiji were talking about at that time, so Ye Kui simply refused to fight.

"Ye Kui, what's the matter with you kid? It's a shame that I've held you up so high."

After hearing Ye Kui directly say that he didn't want to fight with Yuan Zhiji, Jiang Zhijin suddenly became a little anxious.

"Zhi Jin, you dragged me into the conflict between you and the Yuan Zhi Buddha when I was not there, do you think that I, Ye Kui, am warlike and not afraid of death, or do you think that the Yuan Zhi of the Jianhui Sect is very easy to deal with?"

Ye Kui continued to ask Jiang Zhijin, who was a little anxious on the other side, lightly.

"Ye Kui, I know it's wrong for me to do this, but I couldn't help it at that time, the sword cultivators of the Sword Huimen at that scene have been laughing at me, including me

Then I really couldn't help pushing you out to suppress the Yuan Zhiji.

By the way, I didn't say your name in front of the Qianxi Guan Taoist and the Jianhuimen Sword Cultivator on the scene from beginning to end, so... Feel free Ye Kui, you don't have to worry about the sword cultivation of Jianhui Gate asking you trouble for the time being, you... You see, I thought about the chaos at the time, and I considered it quite comprehensively, right?"

Jiang Zhijin said to Ye Kui that he was obviously a little lacking in confidence.

"Oh? Is it? Am I supposed to thank you?"

Ye Kui pretended to be surprised and said.

"Huh... Haha, that's... That's not necessary, who called you and me a friend? Right?"

Jiang Zhijin smiled awkwardly and then asked Ye Kui in a low voice.

"Jiang Zhijin, don't think that I can't see what you are cultivating in the cave, you, a Taoist priest, suddenly want to be a sword cultivator?"

As soon as Ye Kui said that, he stretched out a finger and pointed at a cultivation book that had not been confiscated in the corner of Jiang Zhijin's cave mansion.

At this time, the cultivation book that Ye Kui was referring to had six big characters written on it, "Rough Notes on Sword Cultivation", so Ye Kui knew what Jiang Zhijin wanted to do at a glance.

"Oops! When I woke up, I was so confused that I forgot to put my book away!"

Jiang Zhijin also looked at the end of Ye Kui's finger and wanted to see the "Rough Notes on Sword Cultivation" immediately, so he hurriedly stood up and wanted to put away the cultivation book.

"Alas, Zhi Jin, sit down, I also see those shallow crooked sword marks on the walls of your cave mansion, if you really continue to cultivate like this, you may not even be able to cut a complete sword qi, it seems that your Jiang Zhijin's talent in the way of the sword is almost exhausted."

It's good for you to be honest as a Taoist priest, although I am not a Taoist priest, but I have also learned from other monks that you Jiang Zhijin is indeed the right choice to be a Taoist priest."

After Ye Kui saw Jiang Zhijin stand up, he had to pull Jiang Zhijin back to his position first, and then Ye Kui said to Jiang Zhijin seriously.

"Ye Kui, shouldn't you have found out what I was doing here during this time when you entered the cave mansion?"

After Jiang Zhijin returned to the stool, Jiang Zhijin asked Ye Kui with some embarrassment.

"Zhi Jin, the reason why you are in this cave mansion is because you want to cultivate yourself into the powerful sword cultivator friend you mentioned to Yuan Zhiji, and then you plan to pretend to be a sword cultivator to fight with Yuan Zhiji?"

Ye Kui expressed his conjecture.

"Uh... Ye Kui, what's the matter with you kid? Did you get it all right?"

Now Jiang Zhijin regrets it a little, he knew that he would not let Ye Kui enter the cave mansion, so that Ye Kui would definitely not find the sword marks on the walls of the cave mansion, and he would not directly guess what he was doing in this cave mansion.

"Zhi Jin, tell me honestly, do you have any habits?"

"Ye Kui, what do you mean by that?"

"Zhi Jin, you deliberately made a ruthless bet with the Yuan Zhi skeleton in front of the Qianxi Guan Daoist and the Jian Hui Sect Sword Cultivator, and then you also planned to deliberately lose to the Yuan Zhi Skeleton.

In the end, you, Jiang Zhijin, can go up to the top of the mountain from the foot of Jianhuimen Mountain in shame "three steps and one kneeling, five steps and one bow, and seven steps and one kowtow", while feeling the anger and shame of all the pious Xiguan Taoist priests and Jianhuimen sword cultivators.

I seem to have seen this strange fetish in mortal books, Jiang Zhijin, you are really playing..."

"Stop! Stop! Ye Kui, what do you mean by this kid? How can I, Jiang Zhijin, be that kind of person?"

After Jiang Zhijin heard Ye Kui say this, his whole person got goosebumps, after all, whenever Jiang Zhijin felt ashamed of the last picture, Jiang Zhijin himself couldn't understand why he made such an outrageous bet at that time.

"Zhi Jin, since you have denied this habit, that means that what else can you do to cultivate yourself from a monk who is not even a sword cultivator to a Yuan Zhizhi who is far superior to the sword path of the Sword Huimen Sword Dao Tianjiao in a month's time?"

At this time, Ye Kui deliberately said things from a more outrageous angle, after all, Ye Kui had already seen Jiang Zhijin's kendo talent on the other side, so Ye Kui would let Jiang Zhijin continue to specialize

Be a Taoist priest.

Ye Kui had clearly told Jiang Zhijin before that Jiang Zhijin's kendo talent would not be an exaggeration even if it was exhausted.

If Jiang Zhijin continued to practice in kendo without being persuaded to do so, then Jiang Zhijin's kendo talent might not just be exhausted, but cracked.
