Chapter 279: Not So Positive
After Ye Kui and Mu Xun chatted about the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, Ye Kui still felt that he would continue to stay in the Forest of Tombs in Fan Xiang Valley to cultivate.
Seeing that Ye Kui had also left the cave, Mu Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why is there so much going on in my big Fan Xianggu lately? Taoist Ling Renting, Sanxiu Ye Kui, Qilin Xing Yu, and now there is another Taoist Yuwen Yanhu, none of whom let people do a good job?
If I hadn't already played out Fan Xianggu's signboard, then I would have changed my nest like Ling Renting, alas, it seems that I can only live like this for the time being."
Mu Xun, who stayed alone in the cave, sighed helplessly.
Inside the grave forest of Fan Xiang Valley.
"Last time, Jiang Zhijin searched for Ling Renting everywhere, and then Jiang Zhijin still failed to capture Ling Renting back to Qianxi Temple, and this time the Taoist priest who came to find Ling Renting from Qianxi Temple was replaced by Zhijin's junior brother Yuwen Yanhu.
It is worth noting that this time, Yuwen Yanhu directly confirmed that Mu Xun, who was staying in Fan Xiang Valley Buddha, knew Ling Renting's clues, so when I went to look for Mu Xun just now, I bumped into Mu Xun and Yuwen Yanhu who were talking."
Ye Kui, who was standing by the lake, was still looking at the calm lake not far away when he thought about this, and at this time, Ye Kui also found that the lake under the original forest of graves was different from before.
When Ye Kui first came to the Forest of Graves, Ye Kui not only found a lot of corpses under the lake, but also saw many strange trees and plants in other areas of the Forest of Graves.
Those corpses included monks and demon cultivators, and Ye Kui felt that those corpses were Mu Xun's masterpieces, and later Ye Kui knew that Mu Xun would transport the corpses found from other places to this tomb forest.
This is how most of the corpses that were hidden in the Forest of Graves came from this way, and a few were obtained by Mu Xun in other ways.
"When I first came to the Forest of Graves, I could smell some corpses here, but now I can't smell them at all, so I guess Makihiro moved those corpses to other extraterritorial spaces except for the Forest of Graves."
Ye Kui felt that the Forest of Graves was really like an ordinary forest now, and there was no longer the gloomy and lifeless atmosphere it had before.
Then Ye Kui walked to find a suitable place, then took out a futon and put it on the grass, and finally sat cross-legged on it.
When Ye Kui began to continue his cultivation and Mu Xun began to continue planning other things, Yuwen Yanhu had already arrived at the old city of Mandi among the four places that Mu Xun said.
After all, Mu Xun told Yuwen Yanhu before that Ling Renting might be hiding in the four places of Mandi Old Town, Panling Demon Valley, Qianyue Canyon, and Sanchuan Poison Ze.
As for Ling Renting, who was talked about by Ye Kui, Yuwen Yanhu, and Mu Xun at the same time not long ago, he was not here for a long time, and the Panling Demon Valley was the most unlikely, so Mu Xun deliberately added a Panling Demon Valley to the three places, just to make the Panling Demon Valley chaotic.
More than a month passed quickly, and when there were still a few days before the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, Ye Kui had already left Fan Xiang Valley.
Now Qianxi is very lively to watch, the temple is full of Taoist priests coming and going, talking to each other, even though many Taoist priests in the temple have tried their best to restrain the sound of conversation, but there are still some excited shouts or laughter from time to time.
"Ye Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a long time, you shouldn't have seen Senior Brother Jiang last time, right? Do you need me to take you there again?"
Before taking Ye Kui to Jiang Zhijin's cave in the back mountain of Qianxi Guan, the Taoist priest named Hu Ming saw that Ye Kui had come to Qianxi Temple again, so Hu Ming immediately took the initiative to take Ye Kui to the back mountain of Qianxi Guan.
"Daoist Hu, then I'll trouble you again."
Ye Kui was not polite to Hu Ming, and directly agreed to let Hu Ming lead the way.
"It's just a stop, Ye Daoyou, please."
After Hu Ming finished speaking, he took Ye Kui to Qianxi Guanhou Mountain.
"Ye Daoyou, then I'll send it here."
"Thank you, Nonsense."
After bringing Ye Kui to the front of Jiang Zhijin's cave mansion, Hu Ming walked in the other direction
。
"Before, this Hu Ming had always wanted to see Zhi Jin, but now he has left in front of the cave, could it be that Hu Ming has already met Zhi Jin when I stayed in the Forest of Tombs in Fan Xiang Valley and cultivated?"
After Ye Kui saw Hu Ming leave neatly, he also had some doubts in his heart.
Then Ye Kui walked to the stone gate outside the cave and called "Jiang Zhijin" a few times, and after a while, the stone door outside the cave opened automatically, and Ye Kui immediately walked in quickly, and the stone door was closed again.
"Ye Kui, I thought you guys had forgotten the time."
Jiang Zhijin, who had been alone in the cave for more than a month, finally relaxed his tense body when he saw Ye Kui come to the cave mansion.
"Zhi Jin, where is the place where this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference is held?"
Ye Kui didn't tell Mu Xun when he left Fan Xiang Valley, otherwise Ye Kui would definitely inquire about it directly from Mu Xun.
"Ye Kui, didn't this news come out ten days ago? Forget it, I almost forgot that sometimes you don't pay attention to the things in the monastic world.
According to the information released by the Zen Heart Temple, this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Dharma Conference was held by the large Immortal Gate Jiuxuan Gate, and the venue of the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Dharma Conference was located in the Xuanyu Plain near the Jiuxuan Gate."
Jiang Zhijin hesitated for a while, he didn't expect Ye Kui's news to be so backward, but Jiang Zhijin still told Ye Kui the news directly.
"Jiuxuanmen? Xuanyu Plains?"
Ye Kui was also a little puzzled when he heard Jiang Zhijin on the other side say that the name and location opposite the immortal gate were at that time, after all, Ye Kui had never heard of these at all.
"Ye Kui, you're still the same, that's it, then I'll introduce you carefully.
Jiuxuanmen is also one of the large immortal gates on the Tianque Continent, although there is a gap between Jiuxuanmen and Jianhui Gate, Zenxin Temple and our Qianxi Temple, but Xuanmen is weaker than these three large immortal gates.
The Xuanyu Plain is a realm under the jurisdiction of the Nine Xuan Sect, so it's normal to hold the Heavenly Que Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference there."
Jiang Zhijin said the general situation of Jiuxuanmen.
"Zhi Jin, then you mean that there are other weaker large immortal gates behind the Jiuxuan Gate?"
"That's nature, Ye Kui, if you think about it carefully, if we have only a handful of large immortal sects in the south of the Tianque Continent, then the southern monks of the Tianque Continent will definitely not be able to defeat the demon cultivators in the north of the Tianque Continent."
Jiang Zhijin replied to Ye Kui with some helplessness.
"Hearing you say this, it seems that I am lonely and unheard, Zhi Jin, so what is the reputation of the Jiuxuan Sect in the monk world?"
Ye Kui continued to ask Jiang Zhijin about the information of Jiuxuanmen.
"I'll think about this question first, I remember that Jiuxuanmen's reputation in the monk world should be good, and in general, it hasn't done anything unacceptable."
"Okay, then the matter of Jiuxuanmen will be put aside for now, let's continue to talk about the matter of the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, this time I will definitely go to the Xuanyu Plain under the jurisdiction of Jiuxuanmen with you.
But do you think I'll go to the Xuanyu Plain on my own and join you, or should I just follow your team of pious Xiguan and set off for the Xuanyu Plain?"
In fact, Ye Kui wanted to ask Jiang Zhijin directly, what identity should he use to participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, in case the other party refuses to participate in it, won't it be troublesome?
"I've thought about this a long time ago, when the time comes, Ye Kui, you can go with us, I will arrange other things for you, and then you can just say that you are my friend Jiang Zhijin, after all, the monk world almost knows that when I gamble with Yuan Zhiji, I let my friend and Yuan Zhiji fight."
"Then should I disguise myself, otherwise I may have a lot of trouble after the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference is over."
Ye Kui meant that Ye Kui did not intend to fight with the Yuan Zhi of Jianhuimen with his true face.
"It's up to you, but in order not to suspect that you're that kind of old-timer, I suggest you don't make yourself too old, because the friends I said to Yuan Zhiji at that time were among my peers, not old-timers.
If the other sword cultivators in the Jianhui Gate see that your disguised appearance looks too big, then you may be reprimanded by the other sword cultivators in the Jianhui Gate for bullying the small, even if Yuan Zhiji doesn't care about this, it's useless."
Jiang Zhijin thought for a while, and then said his own suggestion.
"Zhi Jin, don't worry, I'll pay attention, so what else do you suggest besides this?"
"No, just what I said above, by the way, Ye Kui, do you know that this year's Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference is a bit special, or a big change."
"Zhijin, you just say it."
Ye Kui thought that what Jiang Zhijin was going to say should be the incident that Mu Xun told him a month ago, that is, the demon cultivator could participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference.
"In the previous Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, there was no demon cultivation, but this year's Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference is an unprecedented one that allows demon cultivators to participate, Ye Kui, don't you think this thing is very strange?"
"It's a little bit."
Ye Kui guessed correctly, Jiang Zhijin wanted to say that it was indeed this matter.
"I don't know what those large immortal sects think, but they will unanimously agree that the demon cultivators will participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference in groups, and they will also allow the demon cultivators in the north of the Tianque Continent and the demon cultivators in the south of the Tianque Continent to form two teams to participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference.
I think it's good to let only two demon cultivation teams participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, and it just so happens that the Northern Demon Cultivator and the Southern Demon Cultivator each have one team, so it's really a bit too casual to suddenly let four demon cultivation teams participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference."
Jiang Zhijin seemed to disapprove of the suddenly changed rules of this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference.
"Zhi Jin, this matter is also a matter of many large immortal sects, including the decision made after you discussed it together, I think this move of those seniors must have another meaning."
After Ye Kui listened to Jiang Zhijin's complaints, Ye Kui said that things may not be as simple as they seem on the screen.
"Perhaps, Ye Kui, if it's really as you said, then a lot of unexpected things may happen after the end of this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, I just hope that I don't relax my vigilance against the demon cultivators in the north of the Tianque Continent."
"We'll know what the situation will be when the Heavenly Que Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference is over."
"Ye Kui, I almost forgot another important thing, are you planning to use the Immortal Sword in your hand as a weapon at the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference?"
Jiang Zhijin was worried that when some of the monks at the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference saw that the weapon in Ye Kui's hand, who was a loose cultivator, was actually the number one immortal sword on the Tianque Immortal Sword List, those monks would have other thoughts in their hearts.
Maybe Ye Kui won't encounter any danger at the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, but once Ye Kui leaves the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, then Ye Kui's troubles may get bigger and bigger like snowflakes.
"Zhi Jin, do you mean to let me change my sword? But have you forgotten that the sword cultivator Yuan Zhiji I am about to fight also has a fairy sword, if I change to an ordinary flying sword and fight with the Yuan Zhiji, then my chances of winning may be directly reduced.
In case I lose to Yuan Zhiji because of this, then don't blame me when the time comes."
Ye Kui didn't dare to underestimate the Yuan Zhizhi of Jianhuimen, so he said this to Jiang Zhijin.
"But..."
Hearing Ye Kui say this, Jiang Zhijin remembered that if Ye Kui lost to Yuan Zhiji, then according to his bet with Yuan Zhiji, he would go to Jianhui Gate, and then bow all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
If Ye Kui really lost to Yuan Zhizhi because he didn't use the Immortal Sword Breaking Ming, then he would be miserable, but if Ye Kui fought against the Yuan Zhizhi because he used the Immortal Sword Breaking Ming, then Ye Kui would definitely be targeted by other monks.
Jiang Zhijin found that these two things were actually crowded together at the same time, and he didn't know how to answer Ye Kui for a while, should he take care of himself or his friends first? Jiang Zhijin began to get entangled.
"Zhi Jin, it's okay, I probably guessed what you were thinking, you were worried about the monks around me after I used the Immortal Sword to break Ming and Yuan Zhiji at the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference
Will you be red at my fairy sword?"
Looking at Jiang Zhijin, who was a little hesitant, Ye Kui seemed to have guessed something, so Ye Kui asked directly.
"Ye Kui, it's me who didn't think it through, don't worry, I will find a way to borrow a fairy sword for you, it's a big deal I'll go to my master, he has some doorways."
"Zhi Jin, this is not necessary, I have other ways when the time comes."
Ye Kui directly refused Jiang Zhijin to borrow other swords to cultivate the immortal sword.
"Ye Kui, can you still find another immortal sword by yourself?"
Jiang Zhijin didn't really believe that Ye Kui could do this.
"Zhi Jin, I said you don't have to worry about it, you'll know when the time comes."
"That's... Okay, Ye Kui, this time it's really a mess for you, if I endure it more at that time, I will have that kind of outrageous bet."
Now Jiang Zhijin is guilty and regretful.
"Zhi Jin, don't mention it, let him pass this matter, now we should continue to prepare for the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, or discuss some more important things, instead of dwelling on other inconsequential things here."
"Yes."
Hearing Ye Kui say this, Jiang Zhijin had no choice but to put other messy things behind him for the time being, and then began to think about what would happen at the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference in a few days.
"Zhi Jin, do you know that your Senior Brother Yuwen has gone down the mountain to do other things, and that incident may make you worry a lot."
"Senior Brother Yuwen? Speaking of which, I have been staying in the cave during this time, except for occasionally learning some new news about the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference from my master through the sound transmission jade pendant, but I have not paid attention to other things in the Qianxi Temple.
Ye Kui, do you know what Senior Brother Yuwen did when he went down the mountain?"
Jiang Zhijin was a little curious about why Ye Kui suddenly mentioned the matter of Yuwen Yanhu.
"Zhi Jin, a month ago, I accidentally met Yuwen Yango, and then I found out that Yuwen Yanhu was doing something you did before, but you failed at that time."
"Ye Kui, are you saying that Senior Brother Yuwen went down the mountain to find Senior Brother Ling a month ago? Did Senior Brother Yuwen tell you personally, or did you just guess it after you saw some kind of behavior of Senior Brother Yuwen?"
"It was Yuwen Yanhu who told me to my face that he was looking for Ling Renting."
"How can this be, could it be that the master arranged for Senior Brother Yuwen to find Senior Brother Ling? No, the master obviously said that Senior Brother Ling's matter will end first."
Jiang Zhijin didn't seem to believe Ye Kui's statement very much.
"Zhi Jin, what I said is the truth, if you really don't believe it, then I can't help it, at that time, I saw that Yuwen Yanhu's serious appearance was not a joke."
"But even if this is not right, after I failed to find Senior Brother Ling, the master already knew that Senior Brother Ling had a powerful helper on his side, but the master asked Senior Brother Yuwen, who was lower than me, to find Senior Brother Ling.
Ye Kui, it's hard to say, isn't this just letting Senior Brother Yuwen's eggs touch stones? Master, how could he make such a decision? What if something happens to Senior Brother Yuwen?"
The more Jiang Zhijin thought about it, the more he didn't understand why his master would arrange for Yuwen Yanhu to look for Ling Renting.
"Zhi Jin, what you said does make sense, but you might as well think about it again What if your master, Lord Shiquan Guan, deliberately did this? After all, you also know how powerful your Yuwen junior brother is.
Zhi Jin, do you say that there is such a possibility, if this point is used well, then it is possible that a praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch behind, so that not only can Ling Renting be caught back to Qianxi Temple, but it is also possible to catch a big fish of evil cultivation."
Ye Kui thought quickly for a while, and then said this possibility.
"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind? Ye Kui, there is some truth in hearing you say this, if this is really the case, then there must be several powerful uncles and uncles secretly protecting Senior Brother Yuwen, and now Senior Brother Yuwen has become half a bait."
Regardless of whether Ye Kui's conjecture was right or wrong, Jiang Zhijin, who calmed down anyway, also knew that his master should not
It's right to do meaningless things, plus this kind of danger that even you notice yourself, how can your master ignore it?
"Zhi Jin, it seems that even a few days before the bet between you and Yuan Zhiji is about to start, it won't affect your attention to Ling Renting, but I still want to know, do you really want Ling Renting to be brought back to Qianxi Temple?"
The reason why Ye Kui asked this was mainly because Ye Kui had also noticed that the Qianxi view did not seem to be as positive as he imagined.
"Ye Kui, what do you mean by that? I definitely hope that Senior Brother Ling can return to the Qianxi Temple, and I hope that Senior Brother Ling, who has returned to the Qianxi Temple, can still talk and laugh with other senior brothers and sisters as before.
But since that incident, I also know that it will be difficult for the few of us to go back to the old days, and with the things that Senior Brother Ling told me in Fanli Mountain, sometimes I don't want Senior Brother Ling to return to the Qianxi Temple."
Jiang Zhijin said very vaguely, Ye Kui on the other side listened to it in the clouds, after all, there are some things that really can't be told to Ye Kui.
"Zhi Jin, maybe the matter of your pious view can only be handled by yourself, after all, I don't know what happened to you and Ling Renting, so I don't give you too much advice."
After Jiang Zhijin finished speaking, Ye Kui here was silent for a while, and then Ye Kui answered Jiang Zhijin.
"Ye Kui, if the situation allows in the future, then I will tell you the real reason why Senior Brother Ling left the Qianxi Temple, in fact, Senior Brother Ling is like me, and even cares more about us than I do, especially the little master..."
Jiang Zhijin stopped in time when he said the last, after all, Jiang Zhijin knew that it was about the reputation of Qianxiguan, and once he couldn't control his mouth, then Qianxiguan might become a laughing stock in the monk world, and in a more serious case, he might even become the object of insults.
"Zhi Jin, I can also feel your difficulties, since this is the case, then I will try to help you find Ling Renting when I have time, if I am lucky enough to really find Ling Renting, then I will try to understand the origin of this matter from Ling Renting.
If Ling Renting doesn't tell me like you, then I won't force him to say it, but if Ling Renting is willing to say it, then I will have to listen to what is going on."
Ye Kui made another decision, so Ye Kui said.
"Ye Kui, I'm not threatening you, you'd better not take the initiative to inquire about this matter, it is very likely that it will bring you several times or even more than ten times more serious trouble than the previous incident where I was worried that other monks in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference would snatch your immortal sword."
After Ye Kui said that he might ask Ling Renting about some things after finding Ling Renting, Jiang Zhijin immediately reminded Ye Kui with a serious face.
"Zhi Jin, I know that you are worried that I will become the enemy of your Qianxi Temple, or the enemy of the Qianxi Guan Taoist priest other than you, Zhi Jin, am I right?"
Ye Kui did not promise that Jiang Zhijin would not learn some secrets related to Qianxi Guan from Ling Renting, and at the same time said what would happen if he really learned the secrets of Qianxi Guan.
"Ye Kui, sometimes a brain that is too easy to use is a burden, just like you, I have already persuaded you, I don't want to catch you like Senior Brother Ling, even if things really come to that point."
When Jiang Zhijin said this, his face was a little more confused and irritable.
"Zhi Jin, if, I mean if, if you also think that Ling Renting's departure from the Qianxi Temple is the right move, then why don't you leave the Qianxi Temple with Ling Renting? Or do you actually think that Ling Renting's initiative to leave the Qianxi Temple was wrong?"
Ye Kui asked Jiang Zhijin based on some of the things he had just learned and some of his own conjectures.
"Ye Kui, with your eyesight, you must have seen it, why do you ask me these questions again? Senior Brother Ling, whether he is right or wrong still has to be judged from many standpoints, so I... I... I can't tell you directly whether Senior Brother Ling's sudden betrayal of the Qianxi Temple was right or wrong!"
When Jiang Zhijin said the last word, he almost gritted his teeth and spit out the words.
"I see."
Ye Kui also heard Jiang Zhijin's inner turmoil, so Ye Kui was silent for a long time after answering Jiang Zhijin's sentence.
Sure enough, the pious view is not so positive.
