16 The Clothed Fairy
There are not only supreme exercises hidden in the Wanjuan Building, but also the treasures of Xuanling.
After Zhuge Song noticed the other party's whereabouts, he immediately sent a warning and personally pursued it. It's just that the demon is cunning and uses a trick to escape while the night is dark.
However, after receiving the warning, the palaces of Xuanlin have quickly opened the mountain protection array. Once the Mountain Protection Array is opened, entry and exit are prohibited, and only the Elder Token can be passed. The demon fled for a while, and he should not be able to escape from the Xuanling realm.
"The palaces have organized people to search for suspicious people." Xie Cifeng said: "Lingyue stayed behind to guard Wufu Peak, and led people from Yun and Jin Qi to search the boundary of Wufu Peak within a radius of ten miles. ”
Mu Congyun responded in a deep voice, and immediately went with Jin Yi to count the people and search the mountain.
Seeing this, Shen Qi wanted to keep up, but he listened to Xie Qi and said: "Shen Qi's cultivation is not enough, so stay in Wufu Peak, don't make trouble for your senior brother." ”
He paused, looked back, and saw Xie Cifeng looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.
The old thing was still on guard against him.
Shen Qi sneered in his heart, and saluted respectfully: "Yes, Master." ”
Mu Congyun didn't notice the secret confrontation between the master and apprentice, pressed Shen Qi's shoulder, and stuffed a jade talisman to him: "Follow you Senior Sister Lingyue, don't run around." This jade talisman is a lightning talisman, you keep it as a precaution. ”
Shen Qi held the jade talisman in his hand, and his eyes were full of "Although I really want to follow my senior brother, I have to listen to my senior brother obediently."
He lowered his eyes and whispered, "I'm waiting for Senior Brother to come back at Wufu Peak." ”
Mu Congyun said "um", then ordered people with Jin Yi and went down the mountain to search.
This search was in the middle of the night.
On the third watch, Mu Congyun and Jin Yi searched twice, and when they were about to search for the third time, they suddenly heard a faint commotion from the direction of the mountain gate.
Mu Congyun cultivated for his high eyesight, and from a distance, he saw that it was Elder Zhuge of the Torture Hall who was holding a person in his arms and galloping towards the peak of the Two Forgotten Peaks.
The two forgotten peaks are where the Ming Hall is located, and the Jiuqu Building where the master lives is at the top of the two forgotten peaks.
"What's going on? But caught the demon of Xudu? Jin Qi's cultivation was not enough, and his eyes couldn't see that far, so he could only stretch his neck and squint to try to distinguish the distant scene.
"No, it's like someone is hurt." Mu Congyun shook his head, the night was too heavy to see clearly, but he vaguely felt that the person in Elder Zhuge was holding was very similar to Jiang Li.
He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, did not leave his post without permission, and continued to search the mountain with Jin Yi.
At dawn, Guan Lingyue brought someone to exchange him and Jin Yi.
At the time of the handover, she looked solemn and said to the two of them: "Jiang Li was poisoned by the demon of Xudu outside the Xuanling. ”
After Zhuge Song found out that the demon had infiltrated last night, he had been leading his disciples to patrol, and he didn't bother to look for Jiang Ling for a while. But halfway through the patrol, he received an urgent summons from his daughter, saying that Jiang Li's life card was broken.
Zhuge Song became anxious at this time, hurriedly took his disciples to look for people, turned over the Xuanling and expanded the scope of the search, only to find the dying Jianglin on a lonely mountain not far from the Xuanling.
According to the disciple who found Jiang Li, Jiang Li was only wearing an undergarment at that time, the white cloth was dyed dark red by blood, the exposed skin seemed to have been cut by a fine net, and the skin and flesh turned out almost to expose the bones, which looked terrifying.
If it was just these skin wounds, they also found traces of erosion and fog erosion in the wounds of the river lintel.
Cultivators who are contaminated with the eroded fog have not changed their minds and lost their minds, and their cultivation path has basically come to an end.
After Zhuge Song found someone, he took Jiang Ling to Liangwang Peak to ask for a continuation of his life.
Although Jiang Ling has always been arrogant, and his popularity in Xuanling is not good, but if he really wants to say that he has a big grudge, he has not.
It's just a petty fight between brothers and sisters.
Now that they heard what happened to him, everyone looked heavy, and Jin Li, who was most unaccustomed to Jiang Li, couldn't gloat at this time, and said a little angrily: "We have searched the area of Wufu Peak ten times, but we have not found any traces of demons. Can other peaks be found? ”
Guan Lingyue shook her head silently.
*
The atmosphere in the genres became more serious than ever.
The mountain protection array consumes a huge amount of money, and it is almost never opened on weekdays, but this time it has been opened for three days in a row.
In the past three days, the disciples of each palace took turns to change shifts, and they turned the three halls of Xuanling, the nine palaces and the twelve peaks upside down.
It wasn't until the early morning of the fourth day that the harvest finally came.
When Mingtang repeatedly counted the number of disciples in each palace, he found that there was an extra person on the booklet. After some verification, he finally caught the demon who had infiltrated Xuanling.
It is said that the demon wanted to run when it was discovered, but in the end, Zhuge Song, who learned the news, personally arrested and brought to justice.
"The demon of Xudu is really rampant, he dares to sneak into the Xuanlin, and the sect leader and the elders will definitely kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys!"
Shen Qi listened to Jin Yi's eyebrows flutter and talk about the situation when the demon was caught, and the tail of his eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.
He wondered which waste snack he had been caught.
- Soon he knew that it was Zhao Huaixu who was caught.
There is no owner in the city, but there are four ghost kings. In addition to the "Double-faced Hades" replaced by him, there are also "Clothed Immortals" Zhao Huaixu, "Powder-faced Buddha" Chen Po, and "Three-Eyed God" Ji Liancheng.
The four ghost kings each have their own side and go their own way. But there are occasional interactions with each other.
For example, when he dealt with the "Double-faced Hades", he bought information with Zhao Huaixu.
It's also a somewhat shallow friendship.
And this shallow friendship drove him to follow Mu Congyun to the torture hall to watch the excitement.
Zhao Huaixu was tied up by the spirit rope and hung in the center of the interrogation hall for trial.
It should have been punished, and the purple cloud brocade he usually wore was shattered into rags, and the amorous peach blossom noodles were no longer in the mood at this time, like the bitter cabbage in the ground, and he couldn't wait to engrave the words "blood mold" on his face that Lao Tzu had poured for eight lifetimes.
"It's really not me who broke into the Ten Thousand Scrolls! You've caught the wrong person! Although he was embarrassed, he looked good mentally and had the strength to defend himself.
"I just came to Xuanlin to do some personal business, and I have no malicious intentions."
"The demon of Xudu came to my Xuanling to do private business? Joke! Zhuge Song couldn't wait to kill him alive at this time: "What other comrades do you have, explain it quickly, and the old man can give you a good time!" ”
"......" Zhao Huaixu was very aggrieved, and he couldn't explain the reason with this old man, so he could only look at Xie Cifeng, and said in a sincere tone: "I heard that Elder Xie is good at deduction, why don't you calculate a hexagram and see if that person is me, so you can return my innocence!" ”
Xie Cifeng has already been calculated, but the technique of derivation is not omnipotent, there are too many interferences in this matter, and the clouds cover the fog, and it is difficult for him to see clearly.
He said to Zhuge Song: "Those who hurt Jiang Ling, there should be someone else." ”
Zhuge Song said angrily: "If you don't explain to your comrades, don't blame me for ending you now." ”
The topic came back to it.
Rao is Zhao Huaixu can bear it again, and he is annoyed at this time, his amorous peach blossom eyes condensed into ice, and he sneered: "I didn't tear my face with you because I thought about it, you really didn't think I was a fish and meat?" If you want to provoke a fight between the Westlands and the Xudu, you can try. ”
Zhao Huaixu is one of the four ghost kings of Xudu, although the forces of Xudu have always been independent, but if Zhao Huaixu dies in Xuanling, the remaining three forces will definitely declare war on the west in order to receive Zhao Huaixu's old department.
And Yudu has not been at ease in recent years, and has repeatedly spied on the western border, and has long been covetous.
Then there will be another turmoil and strife.
Sikong Qingyang, who had never spoken, said at this time: "Since the Immortal in Clothes said that it was not you who broke into the Ten Thousand Scrolls Building at night, then what did you say about sneaking into the Xuanling in disguise?" Where and what were you doing at the time of the incident, and did you have witnesses? ”
Zhao Huaixu: "......"
The momentum of the superior receded, Zhao Huaixu coughed unnaturally, and squirmed: "This is my private matter, it is not very convenient to say." ”
When the rest of the people saw his expression, they only felt that he was deliberately shirking, Sikong Qingyang shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Since the fairy in the clothes refuses to say, then stay in Xuanling as a guest for the time being, and wait for us to find out and prove that this matter has nothing to do with you, and we will let you go." ”
Zhao Huaixu sighed with a sad face, his eyes wandering among the disciples who were watching the interrogation.
He didn't find the figure, he looked slightly regretful, but then remembered his dignity, and it was good that she didn't see it.
The interrogation was fruitless, and Zhao Huaixu was escorted back to the dungeon of the torture hall.
Shen Qi looked at his back, thoughtful.
He also knows a little about Zhao Huaixu, this person is like a butterfly playing the world, and he is a person who lives in the world based on his likes and dislikes. If it was really what he had committed, he would not dare to admit it.
And no matter how Zhao Huaixu said it, he was also the power of the Supreme Heaven Realm, even if he didn't have a profit in Xuanling, he should have the strength to fight in the face of Zhuge Song, and he shouldn't be caught so easily.
He said that he didn't tear his face because he read his love, maybe it was a little true.
But if it's not him, who will be the one who breaks into the Ten Thousand Scrolls Building at night?
What is hidden in the Wanjuan Building that is worth remembering for the people of the capital?
A Xuanling has gathered several forces in the capital, and this matter is getting more and more interesting.
*
Patiently waited until the second half of the night, Shen Qi concocted his figure as he could, and quietly dived towards Killing Wu Peak.
Probably because he was afraid that Zhao Huaixu would run away, the prison dungeon was heavily guarded, and Shen Qi took some effort to sneak in and see Zhao Huaixu.
Zhao Huaixu was wearing a heavy spirit sealing rope on his hands and feet, with his back to the prison door, looking at a jasper hairpin in his palm.
Shen Qi appeared and looked at him condescendingly: "It seems that the fairy in the clothes is in a good mood." ”
The moment he appeared, Zhao Huaixu also noticed it, put away the jade hairpin, and looked at Shen Qi with little vigilance: "What kind of wind is blowing in this Xuanling, and it actually blows the 'Tricky Heavenly Son' here?" ”
After saying that, he suddenly realized something, and he suddenly lost his previous calmness, his face was hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are the one who broke into the ten thousand scrolls?" ”
Shen Qi sneered: "Think about it with your brain, if it's me, what am I going to do with you right now?" ”
There is some truth to this.
Zhao Huaixu sat back again: "What are you doing here, you can't just watch my liveliness, right?" ”
"What's the secret in the Ten Thousand Scrolls?"
Zhao Huaixu raised his eyebrows and said, "I know something, but why do I want to tell you?" ”
"I can get you out." Shen throws up his chips.
Zhao Huaixu hesitated, in fact, he didn't have to stay here, but if he really fell out with Xuanling, then he would probably only be able to fight for a lifetime.
The lesser of two evils.
But it would be different if the Son of Heaven rescued him, he didn't have to clash head-on with the people of Xuanling.
After weighing it for a moment, he raised his chin: "You come here with your ears." ”
Shen Qi leaned closer in disgust, and after listening to him, the corners of his mouth twitched: "That's it?" ”
"I'm just guessing, not necessarily right." Zhao Huaixu shrugged.
He had never had much interest in other people's schemes.
"Quickly untie the spirit rope for me." Zhao Huaixu urged.
Shen Qi glanced at him, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a bit of sarcasm: "You don't want to clash head-on with Xuanling, and I don't want to do it for the time being." ”
After speaking, without waiting for him to react, he turned around and left without hesitation.
Zhao Huaixu, who couldn't react: ?????
