17 Chapter XVII
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, Qin Gu had paid attention to the traitor for a long time in advance, and the other party had not changed recently, and more importantly, the traitor was an outer disciple, and the information of the blacksmith shop could only be told by the inner disciple.
There is more than one traitor, and this person who is hidden in the inner gate has not been caught until the end when Ji Yun slashes the heavens and destroys the heavens and the earth.
It was clear that it had just entered autumn, but Qin Gu felt a chill all over his body, like falling into an ice cave.
There are not many disciples in the inner sect of the Drinking Feng Pavilion, and the scope is small, on the contrary, it also means that every move is very easy to startle the snake.
Who is it?
Qin Gu turned his eyes to look at Ji Yun, his gaze was particularly hot, and Ji Yun blinked suspiciously: "Senior brother? β
Qin Gu immediately retracted his gaze: "It's nothing." β
He thought about it for a while and had an idea: "Let's go and ask the Taoist boy who guards the mountain." β
They returned to the mountain gate, and Qin Gu stood in front of a maple tree that was obviously short on the side of the road.
There is no doorman who guards the mountain in the Drinking Maple Pavilion, and the Taoist boy in his mouth is these maple trees.
Immortal gates are often built on mountains containing spiritual energy, all things have spirits, and maple trees have received spiritual nourishment for many years, and it is not strange to give birth to sanity.
Qin Gu cleared his throat: "Xiao Feng Xiao Di..."
Before the words fell, the dwarf maple tree trembled, and the two fallen leaves floated down, flashing with golden light, and when they landed, they became two little Taoist children.
The two Dao boys looked at the seven or eight years old, one with an upturned pigtail, and the other with a pair of braids, saluting Qin Gu and Ji Yun: "Senior Brother Qin is good, Senior Brother Ji is good." β
"Okay, everyone's good," Qin Gu smiled and rubbed Xiao Daotong's head, "Senior Brother Qin wants to ask you, which senior brothers and sisters have gone down the mountain recently?" β
The maple tree has been standing here for many years, seeing all directions and listening to six ways, and it is really no different from the doorman.
Xiao Feng, the maple demon with a pigtail, scratched his cheek: "Senior Brother Qin is used to making things difficult, so many senior brothers and sisters go down the mountain every day, how can I..."
Halfway through speaking, the braided maple demon Xiao Di covered his mouth: "Senior Brother Qin wants to ask if there is anything abnormal?" Not... In this way, there are indeed three people, namely Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Huang and Senior Sister Ye. β
Qin Gu looked at Xiao Di appreciatively, and said that this child was really clever, so he searched his mind for memories related to them.
Senior Brother Huang is an outer disciple, so he was naturally ruled out of suspicion; Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Ye are both inner disciples, and they are both slightly older than the two.
So he asked, "Can you see where they are going?" β
Xiao Feng finally broke free of Xiao Di's arm: "There is still a long way to go out of the mountain gate, how do I know..."
This time, Xiao Di grabbed his neck and strangled him, and Xiao Feng let out a scream of "quack".
Xiao Di smiled and said, "Forget it, stupid, the two of us can't see it, but these maple aunts and uncles can see it." β
With that, they turned into two golden rays of light and returned to the tree, and the maple tree in Renye began to shake regularly, as if someone was whispering, and after a while, Xiao Feng and Xiao Di landed gently and bowed to them.
Xiao Feng spoke first: "There is a girl in a race clothes in the town at the foot of the mountain, Senior Brother Zhang went down the mountain, and happened to meet Miss Shen coming out of the house, and the two of them immediately hugged each other, Senior Brother Zhang said, 'Yue'er, I think you can't sleep at night',..."
Qin Gu heard as if a swarm of bees were buzzing in his head, shouting, "Stop, stop!" β
What a mess!
went to see Ji Yun again, Ji Yun was expressionless and unmoved.
Cultivating the Ruthless Dao is different, Qin Gu rubbed his eyebrows, and turned to the reliable Xiao Di: "What about Xiao Di?" What do you know? β
Xiao Di thought about it seriously: "Senior Brother Qin, is there something wrong with the blacksmith shop?" I just saw the blacksmiths being carried back by their brothers and sisters..."
Qin Gu nodded, Xiao Di shook her lips with some hesitation, and kept wrapping her braids: "Senior Sister Ye... Senior Sister Ye was seen going to the blacksmith shop, but I remember that Senior Sister Ye was not on duty this month. β
Pregnant!
The spirit was lifted, Qin Gu shook his head and threw out the "hugging and crying" and "weeping Tianming": "Thank you Xiaodi, don't worry, Senior Brother Qin will not wronged a good person." β
He pinched the face of the little Feng demon, and turned to Ji Yun: "Let's take a look." β
Senior Sister Ye's full name is Ye Yuqing, and she lives in the disciple's room.
However, I don't know if it was unfortunate that the other disciples told Qin Gu that Ye Yuqing had just run out in a hurry, and he didn't know where he went.
The two glanced at each other, walked to a secluded place, and Ji Yun said: "People haven't gone far yet, senior brother thinks, I can catch people back immediately." β
Qin Gu smiled helplessly: "I know you can, but we only suspect it now, and there is no substantial evidence yet... Forget it, let's go see the blacksmiths first. I heard that Lu Zhangjiao is also here. β
The blacksmith shop attack was not trivial, and a high-level member of the Immortal Alliance like Lu Mi could know what this meant by a little thought, and it was not surprising that he would come in person.
As soon as he heard Lu Mi's name, Ji Yun's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he let out a cold snort.
Qin Gu patted him on the shoulder soothingly, secretly amused.
The blacksmiths were placed in the rest place of the wounded of the Food and Drug Administration, and before they could get closer, they heard the conversation of the disciples inside.
"Senior Sister Ye, don't do it!"
Capturing the keyword, Qin Gu took two steps and pushed the door open.
It just so happened that Lu Mi, who was dressed in black, said coldly: "Just by you, I'm afraid not only will you not be able to take revenge, but you will have to let the Demon Punishment Division collect the body for you." If you want to join the Demon Division, your cultivation must at leastβ"
Lu Mi turned his eyes to look at Qin Gu who pushed the door in: "At least you have to be like him." β
Qin Gu: ...
He looked a little embarrassed at the woman in the center of the field, who was half-kneeling with red eyes.
hugged his fists one after another: "Lu Zhangjiao, Senior Sister Ye, everyone,... Is this in? β
The so-called far away in front of him, he didn't expect to meet Ye Yuqing here, and he didn't expect her to sound like she wanted to join the Demon Division.
This was very different from his speculation, and he was a little unsure of it for a while.
Fortunately, a sturdy blacksmith ran over and kept saluting him: "Young Alliance Master, come with us to persuade Xiaoqing." β
From the blacksmith's words, Qin Gu finally understood that Ye Yuqing was an orphan who was abandoned by his family at the end of the alley when he was still an infant, and happened to be picked up by the people in the blacksmith shop and adopted at home;
Later, Qin Rulian saw that she had good qualifications and was the adopted daughter of the blacksmith shop, so he took her under his door and officially began to practice.
Ye Yuqing stubbornly knelt on the ground: "Demon cultivation hurts my relatives, even if it is death, I will die with them!" β
Ye Yuqing's cultivation was in the late Yuan Infant period, and he had not broken through the out-of-body realm in these years.
Qin Gu, who was in the out-of-body period back then, didn't have the strength to fight back in front of Yan Baishu, let alone Ye Yuqing in the Yuan Infant Stage?
Qin Gu looked at the blacksmiths with a pleading gaze and persuaded: "Senior Sister Ye, the demon cultivation is menacing, if it is not you and I can deal with it, let's leave it to the Demon Punishment Division." β
Unexpectedly, Ye Yuqing raised her head suddenly, her red eyes seemed to be dripping blood: "The master of the Young Alliance grew up under the care of his master and all his uncles and uncles, how can he understand my feelings?" I was abandoned by my parents since I was a child, and if it weren't for the blacksmith shop, I would have died a long time ago! If this revenge is not avenged, I am not worthy of being a human being! β
The blacksmiths were shocked: "Xiaoqing, how can you talk to the Young Alliance Master like this?" β
apologized again and again: "Young Alliance Master, don't be like Xiaoqing, she is dizzy..."
Qin Gu smiled and shook his head, in the eyes of outsiders, maybe it was indeed as Ye Yuqing said, he Qin Gu grew up pampered and didn't understand the hardships of life.
However, the truth is the opposite, when he crossed over, the original body was past the age of being spoiled, and his past life...
Parental affection, don't mention it.
Ye Yuqing didn't stop there, rubbed her knees on the ground and took a few steps forward: "Senior Brother Ji, you are the same as me, you will definitely be able to understand me, you beg Lu Zhangjiao for me, let me join the Demon Division." β
Qin Gu looked at Ji Yun.
At this time, Ji Yun didn't know his background, only that he was abandoned on a cliff and adopted by a couple who chopped wood for a living.
When Ji Yun heard this, he didn't respond directly, but took out a string of cloudy bracelets from his arms: "This is what my adoptive parents gave me when I visited the Drinking Maple Pavilion, Senior Sister Ye, I can understand your feelings." β
Ye Yuqing's eyes lit up, but Ji Yun changed his words: "But I'm not sure that I can defeat the demon cultivator, Senior Sister Ye, your cultivation is not as good as mine." β
The implication is that how can you take revenge?
A tear flowed from Ye Yuqing's eyes, her body trembled violently, and she cried until she was panting: "I'm too weak... I'm sorry if I could be stronger..."
Ye Yuqing was surrounded by the blacksmiths in his arms, and Qin Gu and the others exited the room and walked under the eaves.
Lu Mi looked at the two of them: "The heads of the five great families have already stated that the ancestor worship ceremony will be carried out on time, and the Demon Punishment Division will strengthen supervision, but it still can't be relaxed, you have fought with Yan Baishu, and you may need your assistance at that time." β
Of course, they will not refuse, and promise to come down.
Lu Mi leaned back on the pillar, and his scrutinizing gaze fell on Qin Gu, like a thousand years of ice: "His cultivation is about to surpass you, Young Alliance Master, don't you feel ashamed?" β
Qin Gu frowned slightly, he could hear that there was a sarcasm in Lu Mi's words: "Why did Lu Zhangjiao say this? Xiao Yun is extremely talented, and it is normal to surpass me. β
Lu Mi: "Oh? "Yes, that's good." β
Qin Gu stopped Ji Yun, who wanted to speak, and bowed to Lu Mi without humility or arrogance, intending to leave.
Lu Mi didn't look down on him, but Qin Gu respected the other party very much because of the original work, but he was not abused and ridiculed.
After not taking a few steps, Lu Mi's voice sounded far away: "Qin Gu, I am looking forward to your performance at the ancestor worship ceremony. β
The voice fell, and there was a "ding" sound in my head.
γSide Quest: Ancestor Worship Ceremonyγ
After doing it for a long time, Lu Mi was the NPC who issued the task.
γMission Information:
The following omits 1,000 words of information about the ancestor worship ceremony, please check the original book for details.
Please do your best to ensure that the ancestor worship ceremony is held smoothly.
Note that whether the ancestor worship ceremony is held smoothly will have a crucial impact on the direction of the plot.
Difficulty:
The uncertainty of this task is extremely high. γ
[Reward: Increase the success rate of the main quest.] γ

From the beginning of the mission information, the corners of Qin Gu's lips twitched, until the final "no right to refuse" appeared, and he sighed deeply in his heart.
To be honest, the ancestor worship ceremony is an unavoidable plot link;
But the traitor's clue was cut off, and the system flickered again, making the uneasiness in his heart faintly worsen.
