Chapter 65: Into the Darkness and the Light
Chen Xi knew that Shi Xueling was not lying, and there was definitely no antidote on her. He will not regret killing Shi Xueling, even though this woman is Fu Jinglun's woman, although there is a huge Shi family behind Shi Xueling. He knows all this, he has never been a person who does things when his mind is hot, not to mention that even if he is impulsive for Ding Mei, why not?
Chen Xi left the green bamboo forest and swept towards the Lingyun Palace. When he arrived at the bottom of the stone wall, he was stopped by an old man, who was wearing a cloth coat and carrying a broom in his hand and was cleaning the road leading to Lingyun Palace. The road was not a road at all, the cliff was steep, and the so-called road was a narrow layer of stone steps carved out of the stone wall, from top to bottom, almost upright.
If you were an ordinary person, you would be scared when you stood on it and looked down. It's better to climb up with both hands and feet together from the bottom up, but it's impossible to walk from the top down.
And the old man actually walked down the cliff step by step. The width of the stone steps is no more than ten centimeters, that is, half a foot cannot fit. If you go down step by step, you will fall from a height if you are not careful. And his body trembled as if he was about to fall down at any moment, but his steps were steady as if he were walking on the ground.
"Young man, it's better not to go up. ”
The old man smiled at Chen Xi and said, "The inner sect has rules, and you can't break through without being summoned by the sect master, no one can do it." Just now, the man who was called Gao Maniac went up with a girl baby, and the sect master was furious and put Gao Maniac in a stone prison behind the waterfall and did not allow him to come out. And that girl is not a big deal, the sect master used superb cultivation to extract the poison from her body, you can rest assured. ”
"Where is she now?"
Chen Xi asked urgently.
The old man said: "When the sect master treated her, he found that her physique was actually quite good, she should have been a divine beast primordial body, and she was a divine beast of not low grade, but unfortunately the beast soul was taken away, so her physique was also damaged." The sect master swept away her residual poison with a great cultivation, and then asked Ye Jiaoxi to take her to the back mountain. ”
"Back Mountain?"
Chen Xi became more and more anxious: "What are you going to do in Houshan, and who is Ye Jiaoxi?"
The old man smiled and said: "The sect master expected you to come, so let me tell you these words, I shouldn't have said it again, but seeing that you are so anxious, I obviously care about her, right? The young man's feelings at this time are the most innocent and kind, and I can't bear to refuse you...... Ye Jiaoxi is the strongest female teacher in the inner sect, and she is even stronger than the high madman. When the madman Gao came back, he had to be tested if he wanted to do teaching, and his score in the teaching test ranked second...... Second only to Ye Jiaoxi. ”
The old man put the broom aside, squatted down and washed his hands with the water dripping from the cliff: "Back Mountain, it's the Great Mantian Sect." The sect master said that only by going to the Great Mantian Sect could Ding Mei's physique be restored, coupled with Ye Jiao's training, her future achievements were limitless. ”
Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but ask, "Is it really okay?"
The old man said, "I have been sweeping up and down this cliff for many, many years, and what I have done is to do clean things. So, I'm not going to lie, and whoever lies isn't going to be too clean. ”
Chen Xi's heart moved, raised his head and looked at Lingyun Hall and asked, "Excuse me, when will Mr. Gao come out?"
After washing his hands, the old man picked up the broom and walked up: "I've said enough, what if the sect master blames me?"
Chen Xi was silent for a while, and suddenly thought of something. The old man just said that he had been sweeping here for more than 100 years, but why hadn't he seen him when he was a child? Although he had never been to the Lingyun Hall when he was a child, he often came to the waterfall to play, and he had never seen an old man in charge of cleaning the stone wall. This old man has a very faint affinity temperament, and if he has seen Chen Xi, it is impossible not to have any impression at all.
When he came back this time, he had lived in the Inner Sect for many days, and he had never seen this old man. At this moment, Chen Xi saw Chen Dingdang, who was dressed in a purple robe, jumping down from the stone wall and landing beside Chen Xi.
"Your Excellency. ”
Seeing that Chen Dingdang didn't pay attention to him, Chen Xi immediately chased after him and hugged his fists: "May I ask how Mr. Gao is, how is Ding Mei?"
Chen Dingdang said: "The high madman is going to be put in a secret prison, and your senior sister has been sent to practice elsewhere, but the poison in her body has been cured...... You go back and prepare well, you have to continue the monthly exam after dawn. I already know that you killed Shi Xueling, and your next opponent will be far stronger than Shi Xueling, no matter who it is. ”
Chen Xi asked: "Just now, an old man sweeping the floor came down from above, saying that the sect master sent him to tell me that Ding Mei was sent to the back mountain, may I ask who the old man is?"
"Old man?"
Chen Dingdang's face changed significantly, and he asked a little nervously, "You saw an old man?"
Chen Xi said: "Yes, he also talked to me for a while. However, he said that he was afraid of the sect master's reproach, so he refused to say anything. The disciple was anxious in his heart, and asked the lord to tell me more. ”
Chen Dingdang was silent for a while, and said in a somewhat strange tone: "I can only sue you...... There have never been any old men sweeping the floor in the inner sect, and there are only two little scholars around the sect master. And he didn't send anyone to tell you anything...... Before I came down, the high madman was still on it and was not put in a secret prison. I know you're anxious, but don't try to lie to me...... You better go back and prepare. ”
Chen Xi's heart tightened violently.
There has never been such an old man in the Inner Sect, so who did he just see?
Seeing that Chen Dingdang was leaving, Chen Xi asked, "Ding Mei was taken away by a teacher surnamed Ye?"
Chen Dingdang's feet froze, and he looked at Chen Xi with an incredulous expression: "How do you know?"
......
......
Chen Xi stood under the stone wall and did not leave, and now he is a loner again. Gao Qingshu, who was a good gentleman to him, was put in a secret prison, and he didn't see anyone taking Gao Qingshu down, so he speculated that there should be a secret passage from the Lingyun Palace. Ding Mei, who was kind to him, was taken away to the Great Mantian Sect, although Chen Dingdang said that there was no such thing as a sweeping old man like Zài, but Chen Xi didn't know why he felt that he should believe those words.
Chen Dingdang seemed to dislike him very much, and left without wanting to say anything more to him. Chen Xi stood under the stone wall and looked up, hoping to see something.
At this moment, the mysterious Hundred Lords of the Dark Law Division appeared from behind him, and suddenly appeared like a ghost, and Chen Xi didn't even notice it. He didn't seem to have any malice, he stood beside Chen Xi and was silent for a while, accompanying him to look up at it.
After a while, he looked sideways at Chen Xi: "Are you waiting for someone to give you an explanation?"
Chen Xi nodded.
Baijue smiled: "Do you know why no one gave you an explanation?"
Chen Xi shook his head.
Baijue's smile became more and more kind, and he said in a very calm tone: "Because you have no status, because you are very weak...... Although your appearance is indeed not bad, there are thousands of disciples in the Inner Sect, and there will be rookies in every monthly exam that will make people shine. You're just one of these people, and you're not the most eye-catching. Take this monthly exam as an example, the rest of the people are stronger than you. ”
Chen Xi didn't speak, still looking up.
Barrae continued: "I like young people to be more paranoid, I like young people to be more resilient, but I don't like young people to be stupid. If you want to be respected by others, you must first have something that people respect, the mortal world respects wealth and status, and cultivators can only respect the strong. ”
Chen Xi asked, "How?"
Bai Jue raised his finger and pointed to his nose: "My mission is to discover potential young people for the Divine Division, and your excellent performance in some aspects has really impressed me. You may not know what the priest is, and you don't know how important and powerful the priest is, but I can tell you this...... Even if it was my subordinates, the Inner Sect Sect Master would not dare to do anything bad lightly. ”
He glanced Chen Xi up and down a few times: "Your personality is very suitable for doing things for the gods, calm and decisive." Even I didn't expect you to kill Shi Xueling, I thought you would be more cautious. Because you must know that Shi Xueling and Fu Jinglun have a close relationship, and you must also know that the family behind Shi Xueling is very strong, and of course you also know that it will be very difficult to offend such a person in the future...... But you still did it, if it was someone else, it would definitely be that you were too impulsive and delayed your future for the sake of your children's private affairs. ”
"But I won't, and you know I won't. ”
He asked Chen Xi, "Is that right?"
Chen Xi turned his head to look at Baijue, and nodded after a moment of silence: "Yes"
Bai Jue laughed, "I know very well that you know that I am watching you, and you also know that the Divine Division is interested in you. So you want to take advantage of this incident to sue me by the way, you can easily find out the truth and the real culprit, and you can also get rid of the enemy without fear of risk, which is exactly the person the Divine Division needs. ”
He pointed at Chen Xi: "You want to join the Divine Division!"
Chen Xi turned to face Baijue and replied very seriously: "That's right, I want to join the Divine Division." ”
"I heard that you have a great vengeance on you?"
Bai Jue smiled and said, "In this way, if you join the Divine Division and can pass the guò assessment, I will help you take revenge." ”
Chen Xi shook his head and refused: "That's my own business." ”
"Hahahaha"
Bai Jue laughed heartily and said: "This is exactly the answer I want, after dawn, you just have to let go and compete, even if you lose, I can let you enter the Fortune Transformation Tower to practice for a while." It just so happens that the Divine Division will hold an annual assessment soon, and I will send you to the Divine Division's yamen at that time. As long as you are qualified and put on the black robe of the gods, you can do whatever you want. ”
He raised his chin and said in a slightly frivolous tone: "What do people climb up for? After all, it's just four words to do whatever you want." Do you know what I like most about you? Chen Xi ...... From the first time I saw you, I saw ambition in your eyes. Young people should have ambitions, big ambitions. ”
......
......
Chen Xi was a little excited in his heart, but he would never be seen by anyone that he had the slightest psychological fluctuation. Now that he is alone again, it has strengthened his determination to enter the Divine Division. Gao Qingshu is locked up and will be released sooner or later. Ding Mei went to the Great Mantian Sect, which was the best protection for her.
Now, Chen Xi knows that he has nothing to worry about. At that time, the people of the Divine Division captured his parents, and soon he would enter the Divine Division. In fact, he made this decision shortly after entering the Inner Sect, so when he first met Baijue, he deliberately revealed a very pure ambition in his eyes.
Chen Xi knew that he was a good actor, and he was carefully acting in one scene after another in the pile of enemies. Only by deceiving the enemy can we get close to the truth. The person who holds the Dark Law Division has the ability to imprison his parents in the Nine Shadows Dungeon, which means that the Dark Law Division knows the Nine Shadows Dungeon very well.
In a place like the Nine Shadows Dungeon, if you don't find out clearly, even if Chen Xi is now a great cultivator of the Spirit Mountain Realm, I'm afraid that he won't be able to save people. And Chen Xi wants to enter the Divine Division not only to rescue his parents, but also to Ding Mei. To kill Fu Jinglun, you must first understand this person.
He looked up at the rising sun.
Take a deep breath, step into the darkness and welcome the light.
