Chapter Thirty-Eight: Brothers
Bazhen duck, braised sea bass, braised elbow, shredded chicken with red oil, braised swallowtail, and a loofah egg shredded clear soup. Guan Yan was placed on the stone table the same, she looked at the dishes on the table, and said with a little pity: "I have heard that your craftsmanship is very good, I didn't have the opportunity to see it before, but now I have seen it." ”
"It's so fragrant, it's so pure aura." Guan Yan didn't move the chopsticks, but got close and sniffed it, and praised it.
Chu Huanhuan saw that she was just sniffing and didn't move. Originally, it was quite strange, but I thought of what Guan Yan said before, she is not a human race, but from the ghost domain. Don't ghosts need to eat? Lookable Yan looks no different from a normal person. In addition to her face being a little grayer, putting it on her body only added a little bit of vulnerability to her and weakened the aggressiveness of her gorgeous facial features.
"Scaring you? I've had a good meal. Guan Yan enjoyed the delicious aroma, and for her, she already knew what the meal tasted like.
"I should have given me something back." Guan Yan smiled and put a pitch-black diamond-shaped crystal into Chu Huanhuan's hand.
"It can help you." After speaking, he concentrated on inhaling the aroma.
I returned to the peak in a daze, and I always felt that Guan Yan must be crazy, and what she said was not credible. The stone in his hand was also thrown into the storage space at will, looking strange and delicate, like a strange eye, and the colorful and sparse light was refracted when he looked closely. Seven days later, the list of people who entered the palace had been decided.
The six Tianjiao disciples, each leading the team, entered the secret realm. Chu Huanhuan had some thoughts before, and he was in a team with Ning Chenqian, but now it seems that even if he is in a team with Chu Li, he still can't protect himself. So it doesn't matter who you team with. It's a good thing not to go with Ning Chenqian, after all, the demon clan is likely to look for her again.
To her surprise, Guan Yan showed up on time to wait in the Shining Sun Palace, dressed in a group of bright yellow clothes, with flowing and wide sleeves, covering her hands. It didn't seem to have been affected by anything, and some disciples stepped forward to talk to her, and the look was different from that day, very gentle and dignified. Maybe Chu Huanhuan's gaze was too wanton, and Guan Yan still had time to smile at her.
"Oops, lost." Ning Chenqian quietly walked to Chu Huanhuan's side.
"The disciples in the sect all bet that Senior Sister Guan Yan would not go to the secret realm this time, but I didn't expect it. I lost ten spirit stones, and I really hurt it. He shook the folding fan, looking like a prodigal child in the world. Not to mention that he is an immortal cultivator, I really don't think he looks like a monk.
"Why do you gamble on such a thing?" Chu Huanhuan raised her eyebrows, and the most important thing was not to tell her!
"Hey, in the eyes of mortals, the monks are all high, domineering, and beautiful. Who knows, the monks are only fighting with the heavens and the earth, and winning the creation of heaven and earth with their flesh and blood. I can't say, I will be born today, and the Ming Dynasty will die. Ning Chenqian sighed playfully, in the past he always giggled, but now somehow, he sighed a little.
After Chu Li returned to the Third Elder, he didn't have time to care about Chu Huanhuan, and he was released by Shen Luo.
"Yo, it's like not seeing you for a day. Have you cultivated and improved? Tsk tsk. Ning Chenqian put on a grinning face and said to Chu Ling.
"Hmm." Chu Li didn't change in the slightest, and he still had that cold and sharp face.
The other four disciples were also followed, all of them looked nervous, their eyes did not squint, and they saw that Chu Huanhuan said hello and was silent. Ning Chenqian himself also brought five disciples, and those five people were not very happy to come to Chu Li, and they were waiting not far away. When Chu Huanhuan faced Chu Li, although he was not as nervous as these disciples, it was estimated that it was not bad.
"Third brother, you scared them all." Chu Huanhuan wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but it seemed that no one answered her words.
"Hahaha, don't be nervous, Chu Li doesn't eat people." Ning Chenqian smiled.
"No..... No, it's just the first time I've entered the secret realm, and I'm a little nervous. Miao Lan responded softly, she was also delicate, and she looked even weaker under the backdrop of several disciples.
"Are we joining the sect together?" Chu Huanhuan looked at her with familiar eyes, as if this little sister was also there when she was alone before.
"Hmm!" Miao Lan nodded.
Outside the Shining Sun Hall, four elders appeared, and all the disciples saluted. The three elders have changed a lot, and the little old man who looks like a dwarf was quite high-spirited before. After his proud disciple Lu Ning died, the whole person was angry, and the spirit that he forcibly lifted was also pretended to be forced. Shen Luo was as gentle and elegant as before, and even had a little smile.
"You and the others are all elite disciples of my sect, and this time when you go to the Jiuqu Relic Palace, the demon clan demons will have a backhand. The disciples avoid its edge for the time being, in the secret realm, only look at personal chances, if there is no secret treasure, there is no need to force it. Shen Luo didn't say it too clearly.
Everyone also has a contest in their hearts, the demon clan has been hiding from the world for thousands of years, and they must be fully prepared. The meaning of the three elders is also very clear, let them not be stupid and rush to send people away, Mingzhe is the most important thing. After all, the capital of the Tianjiao List is in the hands of the Demon Clan, and their strength does not have to be high.
Chu Huanhuan called him a good guy, worthy of being the fourth elder, and he said that he was beautiful. It's not that we're afraid, it's just that we have to recharge our energy and protect ourselves.
The disciples are pandering one after another, who will not be able to live with their own lives.
"In the secret territory of the Imperial Palace, there are many dangers, and you can take these six map fragments." Shen Luo raised his sleeves and distributed them to the hands of the six leading disciples.
"The locations marked on the map are not risk-free, and you still need to find out what the situation is." Xiaoxiao reminded him.
"It's not early, let's go." The Fifth Elder glanced at the sky.
The three elders had gloomy faces throughout the whole process, and they didn't say a word. Watching the disciples leave, their eyes were even darker. Shen Luo glanced at the third child, even though Lu Ning was not his disciple, he also felt very sorry for the fall of the genius. To put it mildly, the strength of the younger generation of the Liuyun Sect has been greatly weakened, and to put it mildly, the third lineage can be regarded as plummeting.
"This kind of thing happened, and no one expected it." Shen Luo was relieved.
"There are also a lot of good seedlings this year, if you want to, you can pick some more under your door." Xiaoxiao's mood is also complicated.
Several of their elders fought openly and secretly, but they didn't think of attacking their disciples, which was absolutely not allowed. The demon clan has no fixed target, it is completely random, and the two peaks of the three elders and the five elders are beaten half to death. Shen Luo and Xiaoxiao certainly lost some disciples, but they didn't hurt the roots.
The third elder glanced at Shen Luo coldly, and left without saying a word.
"Don't provoke him." The five elders also understood in their hearts that they had lost their position. It will be impossible to cultivate a second Lu Ning and Guan Yan for a while, Chu Li's temperament, they don't want to provoke them at all on weekdays.
"We've been fighting for so many years, what's the use. Zixiao is out of the customs, do you still need to fight? Xiaoxiao sighed.
"I hope that in the secret realm, they can all return safely." Shen Luo also put aside his selfishness now, and just begged them not to run into the demon clan.
Chu Li and Ning Chenqian became good friends, and the two discussed it, and felt that the situation was serious, and it was not good to go if they dispersed, so it was better for the two teams to take care of them together. The other four also cooperated separately, and they didn't all merge into one place, because they felt that the number of people was too large, and it was not good for the demons to catch them at once. From six squads, to three teams.
"Why is the map in your hand different?" Chu Huanhuan asked.
"In previous years, the area assigned to each Tianjiao disciple was different, so as to avoid fighting with the disciples of the same sect in order to win the treasure. There are only six disciples this year, and the four extra maps should be distributed to the disciples. may also be to avoid unfairness, causing everyone to be dissatisfied, so only six copies were issued. "Ning Chenqian is not unusual, but in this way, the clues that the disciples of the Liuyun Sect have obtained have decreased a lot.
"It doesn't matter." The map in Chu Li's hand is the largest in the area, because he is now the most powerful disciple in the Liuyun Sect by default. The map I got was the one that originally belonged to the top of the list.
Ning Chenqian's map area was not small, he was only ranked tenth, and there shouldn't have been such a large area. But the first few were dead and wounded, and three of them were imprisoned because they had an affair with the demons. His map was naturally divided into larger areas, because of the changes in the Tianjiao List, the maps of several disciples were more or less divided into more areas.
"I just hope that we will return safely, and the map is so big. The four elders were as scheming as ever. Ning Chen didn't hide it, and the maps of the two of them were merged.
After they arrived, the ruins were mixed, and the monks from the three frontiers and nine regions came and went. In addition to the disciples of the sect family, quite a lot of casual cultivators also went in to try their luck, anyway, the secret realm only restricted cultivation and did not prohibit the monks from entering. The demons made a high-profile fuss, and they disappeared at the entrance of the ruins.
After the arrival of the three teams, even if the leading disciples did not deal with each other in private, they always had to take care of the face of the sect when they went out.
"Seven days later, the secret realm will be closed, no matter who comes out first, they will stay here first to receive the disciples of my sect." Guan Yan proposed.
"I'm okay with that." Zhou Zhou readily agreed.
"Yes." Xiao Yu still has this bearing.
"Then let's talk about it." Ning Longshuang also agreed.
Ning Chenqian and Chu Li followed the general stream and had no objections. After agreeing, the other two teams went straight to the entrance of the secret realm. The two of them were not in a hurry, and they still had time to look at the people gathered at the entrance of the secret realm. Ning Chenqian's eyes were very vicious, and he basically glanced at it, and he knew which territory this monk belonged to.
"It's strange, the trace of the demon clan is not visible at all." Ning Chenqian pondered, could it be that he hadn't come yet?
"It's not going to run into us now." Chu Li also glanced around.
Chu Huanhuan thought that Zhou Pei would definitely appear in the secret realm, and his heartbeat couldn't help but start to accelerate. She was really a little scared of what this madman would do. The two led their disciples into the secret realm enchantment. The monks who stayed outside were prosperous.
Not far away, a group of people rushed to the secret border with supplies. I saw that the young man headed by him was born with a noble and good appearance, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of affection. The young man riding with him beside him was bookish, looking like a scholar, and he didn't know why he came to this hot and cold place. After the two dismounted, someone stepped forward.
"The two escorts have worked hard, hurry up and prepare tea for the two adults." The old man looked flattering.
"Not necessarily." Chu Xiao waved his hand impatiently.
"You count the supplies first, and my second brother and I will walk around." Chu Lin is much gentler and does not put on a show.
"Okay, the two masters are at their own convenience." The old man nodded.
"Xiao San, take Chu Huanhuan to this kind of place?" Chu Xiao frowned, the generation of the Three Frontiers and Nine Regions is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Chu Lian may not be able to cope with it with three heads and six arms.
"Second brother, you are the knife mouth tofu heart." Chu Lin laughed, since the demon clan attacked the Liuyun Sect, Huanhuan was taken captive. He couldn't rest assured, and he wanted to go to the Liuyun Sect again and again, and now he came directly here.
