() "Brother Xiao, I don't know why you came to Jianzhou?" asked Senior Brother Li.

Tianxiao came back to his senses: "I was ordered by my master to go down the mountain to find a medicinal herb, and I just passed through Jianzhou. ”

"I don't know what kind of medicinal herbs Brother Xiao is looking for? Jianzhou is already the largest state city in Xianglong County, if there are no pharmacies here, let alone other places. Senior Brother Sun said.

Senior Brother Li smiled: "Senior brother, you are thinking too simply. Those common medicinal materials in ordinary pharmacies are not of much use to us immortal cultivators, and what Brother Xiao is looking for must be rare and strange medicines. I'm not wrong, am I?" he turned and patted Tianxiao on the shoulder.

"Heh, it's not rare. Don't mention this, let's drink!" Tianxiao said perfunctorily, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, after leaving Jianzhou, he would rush to Tiandao Mountain, walk during the day, and take the sword at night, meet Li Yuanxiao and Lu Hailong as soon as possible, and make it clear that he was not a murderer.

Thinking of this, he couldn't hold back any longer, got up and said, "Two brothers, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that there are still important things to do, and there will be a period later." ”

Tianxiao didn't wait for an answer and went downstairs like a gust of wind, leaving the two to look at each other. When he walked out of the door of the restaurant, there happened to be several disciples of the Taiqing Sect who entered the restaurant, and he collided with the person who hit the head, and even the hat was knocked off, and he hurriedly caught the hat in the air and buckled it on his head again. The man was unexpectedly knocked into a stumbling position, and just wanted to open his mouth to blame a few words, but Tianxiao threw down a sentence of "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry!" and hurriedly ran away.

"Senior Brother Zhang, are you alright?" asked a Taiqing Sect disciple behind the man.

"It's just a hit, what can happen. He replied as he looked at the back of Tian Xiaoxiao. Although Tianxiao's movements were fast, his face flashed in front of him, he didn't really see it, but vaguely felt that this person seemed to have seen it somewhere, and there was a sense of déjà vu.

At this time, Senior Brother Li, who was drinking and eating upstairs, suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oh no!"

Senior Brother Sun was taken aback by him: "What's wrong?"

Senior Brother Li got up and punched Senior Brother Sun's shoulder: "Stupid, I don't even know if I was deceived! That kid ran away without paying the wine money! You wait here, I'll chase him!" After speaking, he ran directly to the window and jumped out, looking left and right, only to see a blurred back of Tianxiao in the distance turning the corner. He chased after him, but before he could take two steps, he was stopped by a loud shout: "Li Donghao!"

Li Donghao stood still, turned around and looked, the person who shouted had a gloomy face, and there were several fellow disciples behind him who were looking at him suspiciously, he had to give up the pursuit of Tianxiao, and shouted respectfully: "Senior Brother Zhang." ”

"If you don't go up the stairs, but you climb down from the second floor, what kind of system will it become! Wouldn't it be a shame for the Taiqing Sect if you don't go down the stairs?" Senior Brother Zhang reprimanded.

Li Donghao honestly admitted his mistake: "What my senior brother taught me is that I was in a hurry and didn't take care of a lot, and I will never do it again in the future." ”

"Why are you so alarmed?

Li Donghao replied truthfully: "Just now, a liar ordered a table of wine and food and said that he wanted to invite the two of us, but he suddenly found an excuse to slip away in the middle of eating, and I was trying to chase him for money." Senior Brother Sun is still waiting upstairs. ”

When the disciples behind Senior Brother Zhang heard this, they all hid their faces and snickered.

Senior Brother Zhang's brows furrowed again: "It's not a shame to lose it for a few wine money! Both of them have no brains, and they deserve to be deceived!"

Those disciples laughed out loud, and although Li Donghao was full of depression, he could only continue to admit his mistakes: "What Senior Brother said is extremely true. ”

"Call Senior Brother Sun down, check out and leave!"

Li Donghao answered and ran into the restaurant.

"No wonder the man just now looked flustered, it turned out to be a liar. Senior Brother Zhang thought to himself.

After a while, the two walked out together, and Li Donghao's expression was a little surprised: "It turns out that the kid is not a liar, he has already settled the account." ”

In fact, when Tianxiao went downstairs, he threw a few taels of silver to Xiao Er, and it was more than enough to pay for wine and food.

"It's good that you didn't catch up, otherwise where would we put Taiqingzong's face!" Senior Brother Zhang walked in front and said without looking back.

"It's really strange to say that man," said Brother Sun, "at first he didn't move, I thought he was eavesdropping on our conversation, and then he said that he wanted to invite me and Brother Li to drink, but he never touched the dishes from beginning to end, and only drank two bowls of wine, and then he said that he had something urgent to go first." Senior Brother Li thought that his golden cicada had slipped out of his shell, but I was skeptical, if he was really a liar, he should have eaten it a long time ago. Sure enough, when I asked Xiao Er just now, even the account was settled. ”

"Maybe people are really in a hurry. Li Donghao said.

Senior Brother Zhang was a little skeptical: "What did he say when he was drinking?"

Senior Brother Sun replied: "I didn't say anything, I just said that I was a casual cultivator, and I was ordered by my master to go down the mountain to find medicinal materials." The rest of the time was spent talking to us about He Tianxiao, he had been isolated from the world for too long, and he didn't even know about the major events in the immortal cultivation world. ”

Senior Brother Zhang suddenly stopped, and when he heard the words "He Tianxiao," his heart was shocked, and the face that flashed in front of his eyes just now was not He Tianxiao? He had only met him in the sect a few times before, and after so many years, he didn't even recognize him! This is terrible, the person he was looking for slipped out from under his nose!

"Hurry up, that person is He Tianxiao!" Senior Brother Zhang chased in the direction that Tianxiao ran away.

The other disciples also chased after each other, and the pedestrians on the street were puzzled and didn't know what had happened.

After Tianxiao left the north gate of Jianzhou, he rushed along a small road in the northwest direction. He recognized the person he bumped into at the door of the restaurant, it was Zhang Changrong, a disciple of the late stage of the Taiqing Sect

The cultivation is only a little weaker than Lu Baifeng. Tianxiao wasn't sure if Zhang Changrong could see his face clearly, and he wasn't sure if he could deny himself, to be on the safe side, or to leave as soon as possible.

Zhang Changrong and his entourage chased to the north gate of the city and asked the soldiers guarding the city, there was indeed a man in black with a hat in a hurry out of the city just now.

Waiting to chase out of the north of the city, Zhang Changrong looked far away, and did not find He Tianxiao's figure, it seems that he fled along the road, it stands to reason that running is not as fast as Edgeworth's flight, but Zhang Changrong is worried, there are too many forks, I don't know which direction He Tianxiao went.

"Senior brother, let's chase separately!" Li Donghao said.

Zhang Changrong didn't want to, but several juniors and disciples were not He Tianxiao's opponents at all, and it was afraid that it would be a mistake to act separately rashly.

"I'll chase along this path, and you guys will work in groups of three, and you'll chase along the other two paths. He was dressed in black and was too obvious to run away from the main road. After discovering his whereabouts, he didn't do anything, the two of them continued to follow, and one of them used the Spirit Breath Jade to send a message to me. If you can't catch up, you'll be back in an hour. Zhang Changrong ordered.

So, the group split into two groups and flew away along two paths. Zhang Changrong also flew along the leftmost fork in the road.

Tianxiao ran for a long time and slowed down, "It seems that Zhang Changrong shouldn't have noticed it." He thought to himself.

The rain still didn't stop, the sky was overcast, and the roads were muddy, which disturbed Tianxiao. Along the way, he thought a lot, how to avoid others and find his grandfather or Senior Lu when he arrived at Taiqing Sect?What if they didn't believe him? Even if they did, would they have a way to help him clear his name?"After all, I practice magic skills, and it is absolutely impossible to show up in front of others to explain everything, and if I tell the truth, it will implicate Senior Xiao......" As soon as I thought of Senior Xiao, Tianxiao's anger didn't come to one place, "Bah, why do you think about him for me so badly?" Forget it, no matter him, when I return to the sect, I will make everything clear, it's a big deal, it's better to die in a dignified way than to live secretly! No, no, maybe this will implicate my grandfather, and bring shame to the entire Taiqing Sect...... "The more Tianxiao thinks about it, the more entangled he becomes.

However, he still figured it out a little, Lu Hailong and Li Yuanxiao ordered to find him, presumably because they misunderstood themselves or were hindered by the pressure of others. With the two of them, as long as they explain it clearly, they should be fine. "As for what to do after that, let the two of them figure it out. Anyway, Senior Lu and Grandpa are very smart, and they must be able to think of a one-size-fits-all solution. Thinking of this, Tianxiao felt a lot calmer.

"Haha, He Tianxiao, look where you're running!" Zhang Changrong's voice suddenly sounded in the air. Bad luck, the path he chose was the direction in which Tianxiao escaped.

Tianxiao was startled, since the other party had recognized him, he had to say helplessly: "Senior Brother Zhang, I didn't do it." ”

"Shut up, don't call me 'senior brother', my Taiqing Sect doesn't have a murderous and tyrannical person like you!" Zhang Changrong reprimanded.

"Senior brother, look at me, but I look enchanted?" Tianxiao took off his hat.

Zhang Changrong looked at it, and his handsome face was still the same as many years ago, and there was no fierceness. "Then where did you go after you left the sect?" his tone softened, and He Tianxiao's aggrieved and helpless expression was really not connected with the words "cruel and tyrannical".

Tianxiao sighed: "It's hard to say. Senior brother, you have to believe me, I didn't do those tragedies, someone pretended to be me. I have been practicing in seclusion in a remote place, and I didn't know until I listened to Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Sun chatting in the restaurant. ”

Zhang Changrong sneered, raised the immortal sword and said: "Okay, you He Tianxiao, you pretend to be quite similar, and you were almost deceived by you! Didn't you give up cultivating immortals? What are you still cultivating? You don't want to play tricks again, obediently tie your hands and arrest you, go back with me to see the sect master!"

Tianxiao was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Senior brother, you don't know the details, I swear to the sky, it's really not me who did it." It's okay to go back with you, I originally planned to go back to my grandfather to explain it clearly, but I have a request, please don't make a noise, and quietly take me back to the sect to see my grandfather or Senior Lu, how about it?"

Zhang Changrong was skeptical: "Since you didn't do it, why are you afraid of me making a noise? It's because you never showed up that you aroused the suspicion of others, wouldn't it be better to explain it clearly in front of everyone? Let others know that my Taiqing Sect disciple would never do such a crazy thing." ”

"By no means, it's hard for me to tell you about the twists and turns, and letting others know about it may cause more trouble. As long as I see my grandfather or Senior Lu, what to do is still subject to their arrangement. ”

Zhang Changrong put away the fairy sword: "I have the right to believe you once." After a while, I will take a set of clothes from the Taiqing Sect, and you will change them first, so that it will not attract suspicion when you return to the sect with me, and when you get to the gate of the sect, I will help you go in and report it. ”

"This ......" Tianxiao looked embarrassed, "Senior Brother Zhang, I can't resist the sword, I can only walk ......"

Zhang Changrong was very surprised: "Haven't you been cultivating in seclusion, haven't you married yet?"

Tianxiao had to prevaricate: "Senior brother, look." He turned sideways and pointed to the wide sword holster on his back, which looked like a heavy sword, "This is just a mortal sword for self-defense, and my loose sword was left in the sect at the beginning." ”

Zhang Changrong nodded: "Okay, but it's too easy for the two of us to be suspicious when we go on the road like this, wait until I change into a set of ordinary clothes and walk with you." Let's go back to Jianzhou first. ”

"Good. Tianxiao looked up, and the rain had stopped unconsciously, and the sky gradually became clearer.

Zhang Changrong had just turned around, Tianxiao suddenly felt a light on his back, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and with a "flutter", the magic knife had penetrated from Zhang Changrong's back to his chest.

Zhang Changrong fell to the ground, bleeding all over his body, raised his hand tremblingly, pointed at the sky with a blank face, and scolded vaguely: "I'm blind...... Blind...... Believe you...... You ...... beast" Before he could finish his sentence, he whimpered.

Tianxiao shook his head desperately in disbelief: "No, no......" But the tip of the scabbard that emerged from Zhang Changrong's chest was his own. He subconsciously grabbed the position of the handle behind his back, but it was empty.

"Senior Brother Zhang, wake up!" Tianxiao knelt on the ground, picked up Zhang Changrong's body and shook it, shouting eagerly.

"He's dead. Suddenly, a low, hoarse voice sounded in his ears.

"Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Zhang......" Tianxiao closed his eyes in pain, it was rare for Zhang Changrong to trust him so much, but he had harmed him.

"Why did you kill him, you say!" roared.

"He's damned. The voice was cold and unforgiving.

Tianxiao raised his head and yelled at the man in black on the side: "Damn, damn, you see that everyone deserves to die! You kill people at every turn, and you cause me to be misunderstood, don't you deserve to die?"

The man in black stepped in front of Tianxiao in one step, and with a crisp sound, Tianxiao was slapped so that his eyes were full of stars. "I'm doing it for your own good!"

Tianxiao silently turned over Zhang Changrong's corpse, pulled out the magic knife, skimmed off the scabbard, stood up with a shaking, and said hatefully: "You keep saying that it is for my good, but you are just looking for an excuse for the evil of killing...... I'm out of the way today!" He swung his magic knife and roared as he chased after the man in black and slashed at him

"Oh?" the man in black secretly admired in his heart while hiding, "This stinky boy is in a state of extreme anger, and the dragon swim body method has actually improved a lot!"

Of course, Tianxiao was not the opponent of the man in black, and the man in black kicked him to the ground with just the right kick, but did not hurt him in the slightest.

"Stinky boy, calm down!" the man in black shouted in a low voice.

Before he knew it, Tianxiao was already in tears, and he shouted: "What do you want to do? I have already helped you gather Xuan Li, why do you still frame me!"

"Stupid, why are you screaming so loudly? Isn't it just the death of a disciple of the Void Void? You don't know him well, as for crying and wiping away tears like this?"

"Although I don't know each other, he trusts me! I want to go back to the sect with him, and if you don't figure it out, you will kill the killer......"

The man in black said: "I have been secretly following you since you left the island, what is there that I haven't figured out? He still has to meet with a senior brother, and it is inevitable that he will not leak your news." Besides, I framed you because I didn't want you to return to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, lest one day in the future you accidentally expose the secret and cause you to be killed, so I won't let you go back to Taiqing Sect no matter what. ”

"Then you can just explain it directly? Why bother killing innocent people? And let me bear the infamy of never recovering!" Tianxiao questioned him, "In Jingren Village, I found out that you are murderous and cruel!

"Hahaha, I was originally a sword demon, and it was natural to call me 'the devil'. The man in black was not angry at all, "I can control you for a while, but what about after I ascend?" There are your grandfather, master, senior, younger brother in the Taiqing Sect, and a beautiful and gentle friend, I can't guarantee that you won't go back to them stupidly." If there is a mistake, won't the sword technique and body technique that I am proud of be lost? Those few sects that I destroyed are all people who should be killed. As for those women of the Golden Immortal Sect, they are already lewd and debauched, and they are shameless, and the people who double cultivate with them are all dirty, dirty, lustful and obscene scum, and they should be killed! Speaking of which, I can be regarded as cleaning up the portal for your Taiqing Sect. I asked you to come to the Blue Dragon Continent to find the 'Heavenly Stars' just to let you know that you have nowhere to go, and you can cultivate on the island with peace of mind until you ascend to the Tribulation!"

"Your goal has been achieved, I will go back to the island with you to cultivate, I just ask you not to kill people again. Tianxiao begged helplessly, "By the way, you once promised to promise me three requests, and the first request is this!"

"Okay, I promise you. Wipe away your tears! A dignified eight-foot man, you actually shed tears for this kind of thing, it seems that your heart is still too kind. Do you have to wait for a big loss to regret it?" the man in black shook his head.

Tianxiao stood up silently, glanced at Zhang Changrong for the last time, sighed, and left with the man in black.

......

Li Donghao and others chased along the other two paths for half an hour, but never found any trace of Tianxiao, so they turned back to the north gate of Jianzhou City. Everyone waited for a long time, but Zhang Changrong never came back.

Dusk is approaching, and the sky is gradually darkening. Li Donghao couldn't hold his breath: "After so long, Senior Brother Zhang hasn't come back, he must have chased that He Tianxiao, let's also chase him over and take a look." ”

"It's been almost two hours, and if I hadn't chosen the wrong path, I would have chased it a long time ago. Senior Brother Zhang hasn't come back for so long, I'm afraid it's a little bad. Another disciple said.

"So I said hurry up and take a look, things are good first, maybe Senior Brother Zhang suddenly received some task from the sect, and he didn't have time to tell us. Li Donghao said.

Senior Brother Sun said: "Hurry up and take a look at the Lingxi Jade, if there is a message from Senior Brother Zhang." ”

Several disciples above the Void Netherworld Realm shook their heads after checking the Spirit Breath Jade.

Li Donghao said: "In this way, our group of people will go along this road to find it, and the three of you will stay here and continue to wait for Senior Brother Zhang." So, he, Senior Brother Sun, and another disciple, Edgeworth, flew low along the leftmost path.

didn't fly far, Senior Brother Sun exclaimed: "Look!"

On the edge of the woods next to the path, there was a person lying in the sky, his face could not be seen clearly in the dark, but the purple robe that symbolized the Taiqing Sect on his body was very conspicuous, and there were also large dark red blood stains on his body and on the ground.
