Three years later.

Drink Fengge, outside the Fenglin martial arts field.

Qin Gu clasped his hands on his chest, leaning against a lush maple tree, the sun shone his eyes brightly, a maple leaf fell on his shoulder, he turned his head, his broken hair brushed the maple leaf, and the leaf fell to the ground.

A disciple came out of the martial arts field and greeted him: "Senior Brother Qin, is this waiting for someone?" ”

The disciple who was traveling with him poked him with his elbow: "Ask more, of course Senior Brother Qin is waiting for Senior Brother Ji." ”

They saluted Qin Gu together and left with a grin.

Qin Gu lost his smile, just as he heard footsteps in his ears, accompanied by a voice: "Senior brother! ”

He turned his head and saw a tall young man walking out of the maple forest, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, black hair tied up high, fair complexion, face like a crown of jade, and everywhere he went, even the sun was much softer.

The main character comes with a filter.

Qin Gu smiled and waited for him to approach: "Xiao Yun, have you grown taller again?" ”

I really watched Ji Yun's height like a willow tree, growing to be side by side with him, and now he has completely surpassed him.

Ji Yun smiled slightly, and his purple eyes looked over: "Let the senior brother wait for a long time, I just heard them say that the senior brother was outside the martial arts, and I thought they were mistaken." ”

Qin Gu's cultivation had almost turned into a god, and he was sent by Qin Rulian to assist the Demon Sect in tracking down the demon cultivator, and he hadn't returned to the Drinking Feng Pavilion for several months.

The number of times other disciples saw him was not much, but in the past few years, he has had a close relationship with Ji Yun, so Ji Yun will feel this way.

Qin Gu deliberately teased him: "Does that junior brother want me to come back, or don't you want me to come back?" ”

Ji Yun hurriedly said, "Of course, I want my senior brother to come back." ”

Qin Gu laughed, and Ji Yun realized that he had been fooled, so he also shook his head and chuckled.

The two walked through the stone cave side by side, and Qin Gu talked about business: "The ancestor worship ceremony is coming, and my mother is too busy to do so, so she wants the two of us to go down the mountain and bring back all the weapons that will be used in the autumn hunt." ”

The ancestor worship ceremony is the most important ritual in the cultivation world.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, there were two Mahayana monks who met together to cross the tribulation and ascend together, but at the critical moment of ascension, one of them actually fell into the demonic path with the intention of destroying the world.

The other person naturally couldn't tolerate such a thing happening, and the two fought in the thunderstorm for seven days and seven nights, and the thunder continued on the land of Shenzhou, and finally they both died together.

But as Mahayana monks, although the two of them died, their souls were not dispersed, and Xianzhou was transformed by the divine consciousness of the monk who fought with the demon, suspended above the cultivation realm, guarding the world.

Yes, Xianzhou is actually an island in the sky, and that monk is regarded as the originator of the cultivation realm, and later generations enshrine his spiritual position at the highest place of Xianzhou, and respectfully call him the Unsullied Immortal Venerable.

The ancestor worship ceremony, as the name suggests, is a ceremony to worship the Immortal Venerable, and it is also a day for all the sects of the Immortal Alliance to gather together.

"Ancestor Worship Ceremony..."Ji Yun nodded, "When will you leave?" ”

Qin Gu patted the back of his hand: "Now, just let me check it, can our Xiao Yun's light skills be improved?" ”

With that, he took the lead in running, and jumped up in the air on tiptoe to the ground, like a red bird flying in the mountains and forests, elegant and light.

Ji Yun looked at Qin Gu's back, stepped on the branch and chased after him in three or two steps, and fell a few meters behind him not far away: "Senior brother is outstanding, I can't compare." ”

He actually reined in his skills and was willing to lose to Qin Gu.

The mountain gate soon appeared in front of him, Qin Gu stood still, and turned his head to look at Ji Yun, who was impartially behind him: "Releasing water is also cheating." ”

Ji Yun looked calm, and his eyes turned into the distance: "Where are you going?" ”

Good boy, I've learned to change the subject after not seeing each other for three months.

Qin Gu raised his hand and pointed in the direction.

Qing County is located in the north of the territory of Heguo, the territory is vast, the people are rich, it is the first trading city of Heguo, it is lined with shops in the city, and the alleys extend in all directions.

The blacksmith shop, which provided training equipment for the Drinking Maple Pavilion, was hidden in the deepest part of the alley due to its special nature and was unobtrusive.

There is no sword in the city, Qin Gu turned the map upside down and looked at it for a long time before determining the specific direction, put his hands together a little, and walked over.

They turned around in the alley, Qin Gu turned dizzy, and finally found a few small words "Chen's Blacksmith Shop" in a hidden corner.

The door of the blacksmith shop is disguised by immortal arts, and it looks like a wall to mortals, and it needs to be knocked three bricks in a row and injected with spiritual power before the door can open.

Qin Gu stepped forward and tapped his knuckles-

"Wait!"

As soon as he stopped knocking on the door, Ji Yun's voice sounded at the same time.

Qin Gu frowned and took a step back: "The barrier has been broken. ”

The blacksmith shop that should have been covered by the enchantment was now dimmed, and a crack could be seen on the enchantment, spreading to the center of the formation.

And on the barrier, there is only this crack.

In other words, this person only used one blow to directly take the formation eye and broke the barrier set up here by the Drinking Maple Pavilion.

Qin Gu raised his hand and put it on the side of the enchantment, and the spiritual power was infused into it, and then shook his head: "There is no demonic breath left, the attacker should have left." ”

But he was faintly uneasy, and at the foot of the Drinking Maple Pavilion, he unknowingly attacked their weapons warehouse...

Moreover, it was on the eve of the ancestor worship ceremony.

Qin Gu thought of the plot of the original book, in the original book, in order to suppress Ji Yun's limelight, the original body found an excuse to lock him in the firewood room, and Ji Yun missed the opportunity to board the immortal boat;

No one expected that this year's ancestor worship ceremony had undergone a great change, and there were people in the immortal gate who colluded with demon cultivators, and this crime fell on Ji Yun's head inexplicably, although he finally cleared his grievances, but Ji Yun was even more disappointed in the cultivation realm, and laid the root of the curse for the fallen demons-

This is all for later, and the current situation is equally dire.

The original book didn't mention it, Qin Gu didn't know how the original body handled this matter, but if he wanted to decide, saving people was the most important thing.

Immediately decided, Qin Gu quickly knocked on the wall in three places, and the secret door opened, revealing a deep passage all the way down.

He pressed the scabbard of his sword and walked carefully down the road.

The blacksmith shop was quiet, and the forged swords hung neatly on the wall, and there was no sign of invasion.

Further inside, there is a corner, and when you turn around, you will find a wrought iron workshop.

Qin Gu didn't rush to take a step, picked up a piece of ironstone and threw it at the wall, the ironstone hit the stone wall, and it was ejected due to external force, and it flew into the workshop.

A wisp of divine consciousness was attached to it, and the spiritual breath was scattered around the center of the divine consciousness, spreading to the corners of the workshop.

Qin Gu closed his eyes and stared for a moment, withdrew his divine sense, and motioned for Ji Yun to continue walking.

He didn't notice the remnants of the breath, only the darkness.

As it was, the lamps in the workshop were shattered, the wicks were broken, and the darkness was enveloped in endless darkness.

Qin Gu used his spiritual power to light a cluster of flames on his fingertips, and finally saw the indoor scene clearly.

Several blacksmiths fell to the ground, unknown of their lives, unforged weapons on the workbench, and twisted verses written on the innermost wall of the workshop in blackened blood:

"The season of falling flowers is the king again"

At the end of the sentence, a bright smiling face is drawn with blood.

Qin Gu scolded "damn", took two steps to squat down beside a blacksmith, put his fingers on the side of the other party's neck, and had a pulse, and put his mind at ease.

The rest of the people were like this, and it seemed that they had fainted, and their lives were fine.

After checking the blacksmith's condition, Qin Gu and Ji Yun worked together to move them to the wall and lean against them;

Just as he was about to carefully check the blood words on the wall, Ji Yun suddenly called out to him: "Senior brother, there seems to be something in the palms of the blacksmiths. ”

When Qin Gu heard this, he looked at the blacksmith's clenched hand again, and a wisp of black was leaking out of the crack in the flesh;

His heart beat uncontrollably, and he carefully broke the blacksmith's fingers, revealing the blacksmith's full picture.

A crow's feather.

The nightmarish crow of three years ago seemed to break through the memory and let out a terrible chirp.

- Yan Baishu!

Qin Gu looked around the workshop, if the person who invaded was Yan Baishu, then everything that was unreasonable would be solved.

The profound magic cultivator can easily break the formation;

Obviously he had already entered the house, but he only stunned the blacksmith and did not hurt anyone, and his purpose was only to leave them this provocative verse.

It's time again.

For so many years, the Demon Punishment Division has never given up chasing his tracks, but each time it has been in vain.

This time, it was Yan Baizhu telling them: I'm coming back, get ready to meet me.

So arrogant!

"It's pig's blood," Ji Yun had already checked the blood words on the wall, twisted his fingertips, and walked over, "Senior brother, what should I do?" ”

Qin Gu took out a soft handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him, with a solemn expression: "You must report to the Immortal Alliance and prepare early." ”

But the Immortal League has been preparing for the ancestor worship ceremony for a long time, and they will not postpone the ceremony because of a Yan Baishu.

Since this is the case, we can only strengthen precautions, starting from the Drinking Feng Pavilion, martial law at all levels, and once a suspicious situation is discovered, it will be reported immediately.

Qin Gu twisted his eyebrows, these three years were a rare period of calm in the book, he seized the time to brush up on Ji Yun's favor, and his cultivation did not relax for a moment, and now against Yan Baishu, he would not be as helpless as he was three years ago.

Moreover, at the ancestor worship ceremony, the heads of all sects and factions must be present, which can be said to be a gathering of great powers, no matter how strong Yan Baishu's cultivation is, he will not be the opponent of these people.

I'm afraid that this matter involves more than just Yan Baishu.

The two of them stayed by the fainting blacksmith for a moment, and the blacksmith woke up slowly.

They didn't bring much useful information, only that the wrought iron was halfway through, the light suddenly dimmed, and then they smelled a strange fragrance, and they didn't know what happened next.

The blacksmith shop has been forging for the Drinking Maple Pavilion for generations, and nothing like this has ever happened, Qin Gu saw that they were very anxious, and comforted: "Don't worry, a few masters, bring important things today, and follow me back to the Drinking Maple Pavilion to avoid it." ”

So a few people packed up their things, Qin Gu asked them to leave with the disciples of Drinking Feng Pavilion who had rushed to hear the news, and he and Ji Yun took another walk around the blacksmith shop.

With the exception of a provocative poem in the workshop, there is no sign of invasion anywhere else in the blacksmith's shop.

Or, Yan Baishu did not use spiritual power, but judging from the rift in the enchantment, this has been ruled out;

Either...

Yan Baishu came prepared, and he knew the structure of the blacksmith shop well.

Qin Gu stopped abruptly, formed a fist with his palm, and smashed against the wall.

Qin Gu's eyebrows furrowed, the anger in his eyes surged, and the air around him was affected by him, and it suddenly became a little heavier.

He finally knew why there was always a faint uneasiness and disobedience lingering in his heart since just now.

The location of the blacksmith shop has always been known only to the inner disciples of the Drinking Feng Pavilion, and the internal structure is an absolute secret, how can Yan Baishu know?
