() The Qinglong Sect covers a thousand miles of land.

Each of the eight major mountain areas occupies a radius of hundreds of miles.

There are a total of 26 peaks in the Taiqing Mountains, and there are many small peaks around. Because the sect is too big and there are many mountain peaks, He Tianyao waited for more than an hour, and he paced back and forth in the open space in front of the mountain gate, anxious. The little disciple guarding the door also kept watching him and didn't speak.

The silence was finally broken by the sound of the door opening. He Tianyao hurriedly looked at the door, and a long-lost and familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Senior brother!" when Tang Junhe shouted softly in a trembling voice, the two hugged each other tightly.

"Senior sister, I'm coming back to see you!" In an instant, scenes of the past that had been sealed for a long time came to He Tianyao's heart: the first time I saw Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe, the two guided themselves to practice swords, and went down the mountain together to experience the dangers of Yingzhou, especially after losing their father and mother, Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe loved Tianxiao and Tianyao in every way. Now that they are reunited after a long absence, the memories of the purpose have turned into crystal clear teardrops, flowing freely on the face.

"Don't cry, don't cry, let Senior Sister take a good look!" Tang Junhe gently wiped He Tianyao's tears with his sleeve, but he also burst into tears.

He Tianyao suddenly realized that there were still two little disciples guarding the door who were looking at him beside him, an eight-foot man, crying into tears, he was really a little embarrassed, he wiped away his tears and said, "Senior sister, you are haggard!"

Tang Junhe smiled with tears in his eyes: "More than thirty years have passed, and there will always be some changes. Come, let's talk as we go. ”

After seeing the two of them step into the mountain gate and walk away, a disciple guarding the gate poked his companion with his elbow: "Hey, did you hear that just now?"

Another junior disciple nodded: "I heard it." I really didn't expect that loose cultivator to have such a good relationship with Uncle Tang!"

"I'm not talking about that. What surprised me the most was what Uncle Tang said at the end, 'More than 30 years have passed'!"

The little disciple or the second monk was puzzled: "Yes, when you went to report just now, I had already asked about the loose cultivator, he has indeed not seen Uncle Tang for a long time, and he has been absent for more than 30 years, but it is really long enough." ”

"Oh, stupid, think about it again, 'more than thirty years have passed', what happened more than thirty years ago? They are also called senior sister and junior brother, even if the relationship between ordinary Taoist friends is good, I don't think they will call each other like that, right?"

After being reminded like this, the little disciple's eyes gradually widened, and he gasped: "Could it be that person......

......

"Senior brother, you are really weird, why do you want to make up a fake name? I was stunned when I heard it, Gu Dinghe, hehe, I guessed that it was you when I thought of Gu Dingjian. Tang Junhe said with a smile.

"Shizun, his old man asked me to keep a low profile, I can't help it? Besides, I haven't returned for many years, and I heard that the situation in the Qinglong Sect is complicated, and I don't want others to know that I have left the mountain. He Tianyao explained, "By the way, senior sister, I have a hundred thousand urgent things to ask you!" Without waiting for a few words of greeting, he proposed the most important thing at the moment.

"The disciple of the gate mentioned it to me, what is the urgency?"

"Alas, let's start with the incident of meeting Xiaomin a few days ago. Then, He Tianyao concisely recounted what had happened in these days, and speculated, "Senior sister, you hurry up and mobilize the relationship to find out within the Blue Dragon Sect, I suspect that the person who took Ao Xue and Ling Shuang away is the person from the Blue Dragon Sect!"

Tang Junhe suddenly stopped and asked, "Senior brother, is the white-clothed immortal cultivator you met at the top of Chiri Peak nearly eight feet tall, with a thin body, a fair complexion, long hair tied up, and a red mole under his left eye?"

"Yes, that's right. I didn't pay attention to the red mole at the moment, everything else was right. What, senior sister, do you know him?" He Tianyao asked in surprise. Unexpectedly, Tang Junhe was so familiar with the appearance of that immortal cultivator.

Tang Junhe's body trembled slightly, his fists were clenched, and he had an angry look: "Then there is no need to doubt it, it must be that he sent someone to try to harm you, and I am afraid that the coveted immortal sword of you is just incidental, and it is also he who has taken away Ao Xue and Ling Shuang......"

"What kind of goods is he? I have no grudge against him, but I just robbed his arrogant apprentice to my face a few words, and he was going to kill me and kill people?" He Tianyao said angrily.

"His name is Qian Qiusui. It's not easy to do now, Ao Xue and Ling Shuang are in his hands, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save them. Tang Junhe was angry, but his tone was quite helpless.

He Tianyao was furious: "Why? I'll settle accounts with him!"

Tang Junhe grabbed him: "If there is no evidence, how can he admit it? His position in the Chiri lineage is very important, if you venture to go to Xingshi to ask for guilt, I am afraid there will be no good results." ”

"If he resents me, forget it, what does it have to do with two innocent children? Since he won't admit it, then why would he kidnap two children?" He Tianyao became more and more anxious.

"He is hostile to you because he has some festivals with me, and it just so happens that he covets your fairy sword, so he simply doesn't do it. Now that he knows that you are not dead, even if he will not admit it in public now, I am afraid that in the future, he will privately use two children as hostages to blackmail you into offering your sword. ”

"That's right, that guy is too despicable. How could the once dignified Immortal Cultivator Sect Chiri Sect have fallen to such a state today? Isn't Sect Master Zhu still in the Blue Dragon Sect? I'll go find him!" He Tianyao said.

"Sect Master Zhu has already ascended to the Mahayana realm and entered the Tiancheng Mountain Domain, which is the forbidden place of the sect, and you can't enter it at all. self

After Sect Master Zhu left, the management of the Red Sun Sect was in a mess. In fact, not only the Red Sun Sect, but also other sects. When the Qinglong Sect was founded, the elders unanimously agreed to overhaul the apprenticeship system and lower the threshold for cultivating immortals, in order to allow more interested people to get their wishes and step into the path of cultivating immortals, so as to gradually create a prosperous world of immortal cultivation in the world, so as to make up for the trauma brought by the immortal demon war to the immortal cultivation world.

However, it is a pity that this well-intentioned reform has brought a lot of negative effects while tending to harmony. A large number of people with poor roots and even poor character mixed into the immortal cultivation world, and gradually brought the bad atmosphere of ordinary people vying for power into the sect.

The Qinglong Sect was originally founded by the seven major sects and the scattered cultivators, and the disciples in the sect were not of the same heart and mind, but at that time, just after the war, many Taoist friends died, so that the surviving immortal cultivators left the past behind and intersected with each other. But then, as time passed, the devastation of the war gradually recovered, and the trauma of the past was gradually forgotten. The power in the Blue Dragon Sect is divided, and even gangs and intrigues in the same clan are also everywhere. The original harmonious pattern has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the various lineages are in harmony with each other, and there is also a miasma of smoke within the lineage. In the face of the Qinglong Sect under the river, many immortal cultivators who were still immaculate were really powerless, so they could only sigh and finally choose to be alone.

That Qian Qiu Sui is a typical example of not being a master of cultivating immortals, but relying on conspiracy and conspiracy to ascend to a high position through chaos. He was also given the nickname 'just right' by those who complimented him, 'Thousand Autumn Years'. ”

He Tianyao was stunned when he heard this, it turned out that the bad situation of the Blue Dragon Sect written by Zhu Xiaomin in the letter was true, and he said in his heart: "Although Xiaomin doesn't come to the Blue Dragon Sect often, he has a straight eye...... It's not surprising that the girl is careful and sharp-minded......"

"Senior sister, since Qian Qiusui has a very high status in the Red Sun Vein, why does he still covet my fairy sword? It stands to reason that he should not be able to detect the true quality of my fairy sword, and the killer he sent was surprised to think that it was the best fairy sword!" He Tianyao couldn't figure it out.

"His status is very high, he is the third elder of the Red Sun Vein, but his strength is not too strong, he is only in the late stage of the cave. Since there are more and more people in the three sects and nine streams of the Qinglong Sect, the masters are not willing to bother to forge immortal swords, and the Canghai Vein was originally created by the scattered cultivation of 'one poor and two white', and the limited immortal sword reserves of the original seven major sects have become the hottest immortal cultivation resources. There are more monks and less porridge, and the rationing treatment of the fairy sword has dropped significantly. Like Qian Qiusui, because of his lack of strength, he only has a good fairy sword. Tang Junhe explained.

"Then what should I do now? Senior Sister help me figure out a way, if Xiaomin and Senior Brother Qin know, how should I explain to them!" He Tianyao said, "By the way, what about Senior Brother and Senior Brother Lu? Let's discuss it with them too!"

"Senior Brother Lu was originally widened by the Sword Immortal Chu Yuanhui, and his cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds, and he ascended to the Mahayana realm a few years ago and went out to travel. Big brother he...... I have been in retreat in a secluded place, and it is inconvenient to disturb me. Tang Junhe said, "This matter has to be discussed in the long run, this is not the place to talk, go back to me first, and we will slowly discuss a countermeasure." ”

"But I'm worried that Aoxue and Lingshuang won't be able to wait long......"

"There's no other way now, is there?"

He Tianyao nodded silently and followed Tang Junhe along the mountain road. The two were preoccupied and had nothing to say all the way.

Tang Junhe's current residence is near a ravine between the peaks. The surrounding vegetation is sparse, and the sand and gravel are everywhere. The lonely wooden house was covered with a thin layer of weeds, and He Tianyao even doubted whether this simple house could protect him from the wind and rain. The bamboo garden here is compared to the Tiandao Mountain Weikong Peak, which can be said to be the difference between heaven and earth.

"It's too much, isn't it! You actually let your senior sister live in such a place?" He Tianyao was very annoyed.

Tang Junhe comforted: "Don't be angry, I asked to live here." Immortal cultivators have no desires or desires, but they are just a place for meditation, whether they are luxurious or simple, I don't care. I just love the unique tranquility here. In the Qinglong Sect, which is crowded with many people, it is very rare to see such a place where few people come. ”

"Of course, in such a dilapidated barren ravine, probably no one will want to come except for Senior Sister, right?"

Tang Junhe just smiled and pushed the door open.

The room was very neat and clean, and there was a shrine hanging on the wall on one side, which enshrined the tablets of Master Yu Ruijiang and Master Hua Qianxue.

He Tianyao bowed three times to the tablet, and then knelt down on the futon at the base of the wall and kowtowed nine times.

"Senior sister, why don't you put Master's tablet side by side with Master's?" Seeing that Yu Ruijiang's tablet was diagonally in front of Hua Qianxue's tablet, He Tianyao moved the tablet and put it together after getting up, "This is the way to place the tablet of husband and wife, don't you see that their tombs are also built side by side?"

"Oh, I don't know much about the rules, but I just said 'respect the master', so I put the master's tablet in front. ”

He Tianyao walked to the table and sat down: "Senior sister, who do you say we can ask for help now? Do you know someone in the Red Sun Vein who can speak?"

Tang Junhe shook his head.

"Is there an elder-level figure in the Taiqing vein who can come forward?" He Tianyao asked again.

Tang Junhe replied: "As I said, the relationship between the eight major sects of the Blue Dragon Sect is not so harmonious. Besides, the matter of managing his own lineage is still too busy, and I'm afraid no one will be willing to go to the Red Sun Pulse to inquire about the news without evidence. ”

"Isn't there no way to do it? Senior Brother Lu is not here, what about Elder Zhou?"

Zhou Hongyu, the third elder of the Xiantai Qing Sect, was a relatively reliable senior in He Tianyao's impression.

"During the past 30 years or so, the original elders have either ascended to the Mahayana and entered the Tiancheng Mountain Domain; either they are unwilling to go through the troubled waters of the clan forces and take the initiative to step down and practice alone; or they have been gradually elevated by the newly succeeded elders by various means, and have even been forced to hand over the position of elders. In short, the elders are not so reliable nowadays. Tang Junhe said helplessly.

"How can this be?" He Tianyao was extremely disappointed.

"According to the original rules, you can serve as an elder when you reach the realm of annihilation, but with the increase in the number of immortal cultivators, the elders will become more and more, so the outdated rules have to be changed. The new rule now is: there are twelve elders in each lineage, and the immortal cultivators of the lineage vote to decide. ”

"Wouldn't that further encourage the evil trend of gangs within the clan? This new rule is really bad enough. He Tianyao complained.

"Who's to say it's not? This is also giving people like Qian Qiusui the opportunity to rise to high positions. After he sat firmly in the position of elder, he intensified his efforts to win over the lower-level cultivators in order to consolidate his power, and supported his cronies to sit on the elder seat. Such a vicious circle exists in all eight major lineages. At first, this kind of behavior was only carried out in secret, but later, when other upright people discovered the shortcomings of the new rules, they were powerless and lacked skills, and the situation of forming gangs to control the overall situation was out of control, and the forces that formed the fire had grown enough to affect the direction of the sect's structure, and eventually many respectable former elders were squeezed out of the sect's management. ”

"Then why doesn't Qian Qiusui just sit down, forget it when you are the master of the lineage, what's the point of getting a third elder to be there?"

"His title of 'Three Elders of the Red Sun Vein' is just a superficial pretense, and the Great Elder of the Red Sun Vein and Qian Qiu are basically the same dog. In fact, Qian Qiu was the cronie cultivated by the Great Elder, because Qian Qiu was worried that his strength was not enough to convince the public, so he pretended to support a second elder to sit on top of him, in fact, the imaginary 'Second Elder' had no power at all, and no power, just a puppet. The real controllers of the Red Sun Pulse are the Great Elder Zhuo Qingfeng and the Third Elder Qian Qiusui. That's why I said that if you venture to go to the Red Sun Vein, I am afraid that they will reverse black and white and take it down by picking quarrels and provoking trouble. ”

He Tianyao was indignant: "Then aren't we cornered? It's really heartwarming! If Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother, Senior Sister Xiao, Brother Tianxiao, Sister Qingyu, Xiaomin, and Senior Brother Qin are all here, and we join forces to break in together, what can they do to us?"

Hearing these names, Tang Junhe suddenly trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes.

Seeing this, He Tianyao hurriedly comforted her: "Alas, I shouldn't mention Senior Sister Xiao and Brother Tianxiao." The former are gone, may they rest in peace. ”

Tang Junhe wiped away his tears: "It's okay, I just remembered the past." At the point where the mountains and rivers are not exhausted, I suddenly thought of a good solution. Since there is no way to ask for help from people inside the sect, then use the power outside the sect. ”

"Senior Sister outside the sect, don't you mean the casual cultivators who are still cultivating in the outside world?" He Tianyao was puzzled, some of the scattered cultivators had already been merged into the Canghai lineage of the Qinglong Sect, and the scattered cultivators who were still cultivating outside were all unknown generals.

"You can say that. Isn't your master also a 'loose cultivator'? If you can invite him to the old man's house, no matter his strength or prestige, he is far from being comparable to those guys in the Red Sun Vein. At that time, let alone asking for people, it is not difficult to ask for their lives. If he could, it would be better to let Jiang Jianxian intervene to rectify the current chaotic situation in the Blue Dragon Sect. Tang Junhe was full of confidence. In her mind, with the relationship between He Tianyao and Jiang Chengdong, the Sword Immortal of Swift Light, this little thing should not be a problem.

He Tianyao said regretfully: "Senior sister, I forgot to tell you, the master respects him...... It should have soared. ”

"Huh?" Tang Junhe snorted lightly, "Then do you know other sword immortals, such as Chu Yuanhui?" she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

He Tianyao shook his head helplessly: "I don't know." Let's not talk about whether Chu Yuanhui has ascended, even if he is still here, it will not work. There is not much contact between the Sword Immortals, and the Master has taught me carefully over the years, and my master and apprentice have never left the retreat, so I don't know about the other Sword Immortals at all. ”

"I see...... Alas...... "Hope was dashed, Tang Junhe let out a long sigh.

Seeing that Tang Junhe was disheartened, He Tianyao comforted: "Senior sister, don't keep thinking about using the power of others. This fault is caused by me, and I have to rely on my own ability to solve it. Doesn't it mean that they won't openly admit it without evidence? Then I'll find out the evidence! In broad daylight, I don't believe they can deny it until the public is in public!"

"To put it simply, how easy is it to find evidence? During the period when you came to look for me, I am afraid that the bodies of the three people who killed you have already been taken away by them!"

"No, even if the corpse is still there, it doesn't work, it can only prove that the three of them want to harm me, it can't prove that they were sent by Qian Qiusui, and it can't prove that Qian Qiusui kidnapped Aoxue and Lingshuang. He Tianyao said, "What I'm looking for is the most direct evidence, which proves that Ao Xue and Ling Shuang are in the Red Sun Vein!"

Hearing He Tianyao's tone was extremely firm, Tang Junhe hurriedly asked, "Have you already thought of a countermeasure?"

"It's not enough to be nine out of ten, I want 100 percent. Tonight, I'm going to explore the Red Sun Peak!"
