Chapter 60: The Cause of the Year

Peng Xinwei looked very annoyed, and strode out of the house: "Do you dare to come if you hurt someone?" I want to see what he wants to do, can he be a disciple of the Tianyun Sect and can bully me at will to poison the Sect without success!"

"Sect Master Peng, slow down. Li Yuanxiao stopped him, "In my opinion, we must not startle the snake." Chao Zhongwei assassinated Elder Zhang, and wanted to destroy the corpse with insects, there must be a conspiracy. Sect Master Peng can pretend not to know first, and listen to what he has to say. Also, I wanted to find out why he killed my daughter and son-in-law. ”

"Sect Master Li, I've counted it. However, please don't do anything in my sect, thank you first!" Peng Xinwei bowed his hand and left the room.

Zhang Bohuai struggled to get up: "Sect Master Li, I'm afraid that Chao Zhongwei will blame all the sins on my sect, you must not believe him!"

Yu Ruijiang hurriedly supported him: "Elder Zhang, please rest assured, the sect master has already made up his mind in his heart, and now he just wants to find out the reason." ”

Zhang Bohuai sat down weakly: "There is also a reluctant request, I hope that after Sect Master Li takes revenge, he will throw Chao Zhongwei into the worm pit to relieve my heart...... Hate ......" his voice grew softer and softer, and when he said the last word, his head hung down and he died.

"Alas, I promise you. If it weren't for Elder Zhang's begging for a jade pendant back then, it might be difficult for me to find out who the murderer was in my life. It's a pity that you were injured too badly, and the best Great Returning Pill in my sect only prolonged your breath. Chao Zhongwei, I won't be able to spare him!" Li Yuanxiao gently flattened Zhang Bohuai and said hatefully.

"Sect Master, do you really want to kill?" Yu Ruijiang asked.

Li Yuanxiao was categorical: "I really want to kill! I don't care what sect he is, who he is, who is a disciple, if he dares to hurt the lives of my daughter and son-in-law, there is only one way to die!"

Yu Ruijiang nodded, he understood Li Yuanxiao's character. Although Li Yuanxiao is usually more easy-going, if there is such a thing that touches his rebellion, he will definitely investigate it to the end and let the murderer pay for his blood debts. "Sect Master, the strange poison in Zhang Bohuai's body must have been caused by Chao Zhongwei, but I have never seen this poison, and even Sect Master Peng doesn't recognize it, and I can't solve it, it's terrible. If it was a strange poison newly developed by the Tianyun Sect, it would be a big hidden danger for the other six major sects. ”

Li Yuanxiao thought for a moment and said, "Tianyun Sect and the other six major sects have always been in harmony with each other, Ye Shenrong is too scheming, and he really can't figure out his thoughts. How can such a mysterious poison be refined by ordinary people? When this matter is over, you and I will personally go to the Valley of Forgetfulness, what do you think?"

Yu Ruijiang frowned slightly: "Since you should accompany the sect master." ”

Li Yuanxiao rarely showed a smile and patted Yu Ruijiang's shoulder: "Qianxue worshiped me as a brother back then, and I believe she won't embarrass you too much." In addition, we can also take a look at how the Qingyu injury recovered by the way. ”

Yu Ruijiang nodded.

"There are many kinds of poisoned insects in the Insect Poison Garden, and some of them are difficult to see in their lives, so let's simply go to the garden to have a look and wait for Sect Master Peng to come back. Li Yuanxiao has made a plan in his heart, just waiting for the time to come.

In the insect poison garden, the two walked along.

"I can't imagine that there are so many poisonous insects, and those who eat grass can still cut grass and pick leaves to feed, and it is not easy to raise carnivorous insects. Yu Ruijiang sighed, "Sect Master, are those rumors true?"

Li Yuanxiao stared at the various poisonous bees in a row of boxes: "'There is no wind and no waves, and there is no wind in the air. 'The rumors of the Poison Refining Sect feeding insects by humans were in a uproar in the early years, and Zhu Honglie and I had both come to the Poison Refining Sect for this matter, but Ye Shenrong's old fox tried his best to protect it, and swore that it was all nonsense, so we stopped there. For a long time after that, no one in the vicinity of the Poison Refining Sect disappeared inexplicably, and that matter was over. I always feel that the poison in Uncle Zhang's arms this time is inseparable from the Poison Refining Sect, you see that after I noticed that Uncle Zhang was in such a strange poison just now, Peng Xinwei was not surprised at all. Besides, when did the Tianyun Sect produce a poison refining master, and it was able to practice such a miraculous poison?"

Yu Ruijiang thought for a moment: "I don't know what Peng Xinwei's temperament is?"

Peng Xinwei ...... Actually, I can't figure out this person. Since he became the sect master of poison refining, he has always been mysterious and secretive, and rarely appears on the rivers and lakes. I've only had a few encounters with him before. However, it was the elders of his sect who died this time, and his reaction was a little strange...... We'll wait for him to come back. Li Yuanxiao replied.

"Sect Master, there's another thing about this heavy rain. The heavy rain came strangely, and the non-stop rain was even more strange, which made me wonder. I don't know if the sect master has read a book called "Ancient and Modern Strange Chronicles" in my sect's library pavilion?" Yu Ruijiang asked again.

Li Yuanxiao turned his head and looked puzzled: "I haven't seen "Ancient and Modern Differences"? What is written in the book? Does it have anything to do with this heavy rain?"

Yu Ruijiang said: "That book was written by a senior of my sect who traveled all over the Qinglong Divine Prefecture a long time ago, and he recorded all the strange phenomena he saw and heard during his travels, and sorted them out in detail after returning to the sect, and wrote "Ancient and Modern Strange Chronicles". Most of the legends written in the book are ethereal legends, and they have little to do with cultivating immortals, so not many people in the sect have read this book. This heavy rain reminds me of a record in the book, which is about the Taiqing Patriarch: 'After the Great War of Immortals and Demons, the Qinglong Continent had rained heavily for nearly a month, and the rivers were full of rivers. During the heavy rain, a one-horned evil Jiao appeared in the Qinxue River, and the flood accompanied the Jiao, flooding countless villages and fertile fields on both sides of the river. The Taiqing patriarch was furious, found the location of the evil Jiao, and used the peerless immortal sword Chengying to cut off the Jiao's head with only one sword, and then the heavy rain stopped suddenly, and the flood was gradually subsided. I was also interested in the life of the Taiqing Patriarch, so I read this account carefully. Although it is not written in the book that there is an inevitable connection between the heavy rain and the evil Jiao's present life, I always feel that the heavy rain today is very similar to that record. ”

Li Yuanxiao said in surprise: "I have only heard of the Taiqing Patriarch killing the one-horned evil Jiao with a sword, and I don't want the evil Jiao to be accompanied by heavy rain for months in this world." If the account is true, it is really very similar. ”

Yu Ruijiang said: "I think the predecessors who wrote the book will definitely not say anything, they must have heard detailed rumors somewhere." The matter of the Taiqing patriarch is too far away, and we have no way of judging whether the legend is true or false. It is unpredictable how long this heavy rain will last now, if it really hasn't stopped for nearly a month, the sect master had better lead the whole sect to take precautions, so as not to bring disadvantage to our sect when the calamity suddenly descends. ”

Li Yuanxiao's expression was serious: "Regardless of whether that record is true or not, we must be prepared." If the heavy rain really falls for nearly a month, I will notify the masters of my sect who are wandering outside to come back to protect the sect, you can rest assured. ”

"Sect Master, do you want to inform the other six major sects then?"

Li Yuanxiao thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, the authenticity of that record cannot be determined, if the heavy rain has nothing to do with Jiaolong's existence, then I am too Qingzong to lose face, and I am suspected of teasing others." If the record is true, my Taiqing Sect will go to the top first, strive to kill the evil Jiao, and at the same time buy time for the other six masters to return to the sect. ”

Yu Ruijiang agreed: "Indeed, the sect master is more thoughtful. Then let's wait and see what happens. ”

Li Yuanxiao responded, and suddenly smiled: "Elder Yu is also very leisurely, and he actually goes to read books such as wild history anecdotes." The senior who wrote the book, distracted by this, did he succeed in the tribulation?"

Yu Ruijiang also replied with a smile: "Don't talk about me first." Although the senior was distracted by this, he still succeeded in the end. His name is 'Laughing Sword Immortal', I wonder if the sect master has ever heard of it?"

"It turned out to be the 'Laughing Sword Immortal', how could I not know? It is said that he has a strange personality and always seems to be 'not doing his job', but his cultivation speed is terrifyingly fast, and people regard him as a rare genius. As soon as he ascended to the realm of annihilation, he left the sect and wandered, and the position of the sect's elder was hung with a vacant title, and he never accepted an apprentice. Since the beginning of his travels, he has rarely returned to his sect. But every time he came back, his cultivation would be improved by a whole level compared to the previous one. After entering the realm of the tribulation for a few years, he successfully crossed the tribulation, and after returning to the sect to leave a few superb immortal swords and a large number of cherished medicinal materials and minerals, he broke through the void and left. But I didn't know that he was the author of books like "Ancient and Modern Chronicles". Li Yuanxiao's tone suddenly became serious, and Lu Xingheng, the laughing sword immortal of the Taiqing Sect, was a legend in the immortal cultivation world. has a dissolute personality, and seems to not focus on the great cause of cultivating immortals, but the results are remarkable. Li Yuanxiao's heart was naturally full of reverence for this amazing senior.

"Sect Master Li, in fact, most immortal cultivators are a little narrow-minded, including you and me. In order to catch up with the number of years of immortal cultivation, we focus on cultivation, and focusing on other things seems to us to be distracted. But why is the Xiaoyu Sword Immortal unique, seemingly not proficient in cultivation but superb in Taoism? I think he has opened his heart and seen the essence of cultivating immortals. Cultivating immortals, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth with a mere physical mortal womb, in this process, the state of mind plays a very subtle role. The Laughing Sword Immortal travels all over the world, collects anecdotes, and enjoys what he enjoys, so his mind is pure, and he gets twice the result with half the effort in cultivating immortals, so he doesn't have to practice hard every day like us, but the efficiency of cultivating immortals is extremely high. It is true that the genius is the advantage of the Laughing Sword Immortal, but on the other hand, how many of the characters who have been called 'geniuses' in the past are as free and easy as him? I admire his pure and carefree heart, so I went to read the book he wrote. Between the lines of the book, his seemingly cynical but actually chic mentality is revealed everywhere, but unfortunately, although I have a yearning, I still can't do it......" Yu Ruijiang's eyes were full of longing. Yes, the free and easy behavior of doing what I want to do, the unconventional mentality of enjoying what I enjoy, who wouldn't want to do that? It's just easy to think, but it's hard to do.

Elder Yu's words were extremely well analyzed. Your sect's smiling sword immortal is indeed a legendary figure, and he is also very admired in the next. Behind him, Peng Xinwei's voice suddenly came.

Li Yuanxiao and Yu Ruijiang turned around after hearing the sound. Li Yuanxiao arched his hand at Peng Xinwei and said, "Sect Master Peng, Elder Zhang passed away shortly after you left, please forgive me for not being able to do anything." ”

Peng Xinwei smiled and said, "Where is it, if it weren't for your sect's miraculous Great Returning Pill and Sect Master Li not hesitating to spend his own spiritual power to continue Elder Zhang's breath, he would have been unable to support it a long time ago." Thanks to this, I know who the real culprit is who hurt people. ”

"Sect Master Peng, what is the purpose of Chao Zhongwei's visit to your sect?" Yu Ruijiang asked.

Peng Xinwei snorted coldly: "It's just a 'Ecstasy'." He first asked Elder Zhang to be there, and I said that he had been assassinated, and then he was thrown into the dragon maggot pit, and the corpse was eaten by poisonous insects, leaving only a skeleton. Chao Zhongwei pretended to be distressed, saying that he heard that Elder Zhang had been killed by the enemy family in Muzhou, and he had come to visit our sect, and he didn't want the rumors to be true. Watching him behave, my heart was really bright. But I didn't question him face to face, I did what I wanted, I didn't move, and after a while of greetings, he took his leave and went back to Muzhou. If Sect Master Li wants to take action, this is a good opportunity. Although my Poison Refining Sect is close to Muzhou, he still has a few juniors with him, so presumably the speed of the sword will not be very fast. ”

"Thank you Sect Master Peng, this trip will have a result, to comfort Elder Zhang's spirit in the sky. Let's take our leave!"

"Thank you Sect Master Li first, and I won't be far away. Peng Xinwei arched his hand.

Out of the Insect Poison Garden, the two of them flew with their swords and swept quickly in the direction of Muzhou to the west.

"Elder Yu, have you found it, I told Peng Xinwei that Elder Zhang is dead, and he even replied with a smile, this is too strange, the strange poison of the Tianyun Sect must have something to do with him. Li Yuan said.

"Indeed, Zhang Bohuai can also be regarded as a relatively advanced elder in the Poison Refining Sect, and Peng Xinwei is not saddened at all by the loss of such a master in the sect. But now there is no evidence, we just have to take precautions, Tianyun Sect has such a strange poison, it is not a good thing. Yu Ruijiang said.

Li Yuanxiao gritted his teeth: "Nothing is as important as my daughter's great feud now, and other matters will be discussed with the elders after returning to the sect." It's been five years, and I've had so hard looking for you!"

Yu Ruijiang nodded silently, and followed closely with the soaring Chengying Sword.

......

Chao Zhongwei and the others didn't know that someone was chasing after them, and they were now relaxed. Going to the Poison Refining Sect, assassinating Zhang Bohuai's master and apprentice, destroying the corpse, and stealing the secret, everything went so smoothly. Next, just push the matter of Wen Huayu Pei onto Zhang Bohuai's master and apprentice, and then he can get out of the relationship. Thinking about it, a smile appeared on Chao Zhongwei's face.

Mi Junliang was taken by Fan Yuteng to take the sword together, and the two chatted non-stop, Chao Zhongwei's plan seemed seamless to them. "Even if the sky falls, there is still the second senior brother on top. That's what they thought in their hearts.

Chao Zhongwei looked at the cold young man on his right, and there was still no expression on his unsmiling face. "Alas, the events of Senior Brother Sima's childhood had a deep impact on his mind. Even if the revenge is avenged, I have never seen him happy. Chao Zhongwei sighed in his heart.

This ruthless young man is Chao Zhongwei's fifth junior disciple, named Sima Kong, who was accepted as a disciple by Ye Shenrong because of his excellent roots. At that time, Chao Zhongwei was very impressed by this little junior brother, because he was extremely cold at a young age, and he never saw joy, anger and sorrow on his face. In addition, he has special respect for his brothers and sisters, is polite, and responds to all calls. Later, he slowly grew up, handsome and chic, with his cold look, but attracted the hearts of many female disciples in the sect, and several female disciples who felt that they were good-looking had offered their courtesy to Sima Kong, but he seemed to hate the delicate girls, and after the few female disciples who were recognized as beautiful touched their noses, there were no more girls to disturb them.

Among the many senior brothers, the senior brother has been in retreat for many years in order to make a breakthrough, so Chao Zhongwei has always taken care of many junior brothers and sisters. Sima Kong is as indifferent to everyone as water, but he has the best relationship with Chao Zhongwei. Chao Zhongwei admired his calm and calm personality, but he also wondered why he had been cold and why he hated the female disciples in the sect. He had asked Sima Kong about this, but Sima Kong did not say a word, only shook his head occasionally. Chao Zhongwei saw that he had something on his mind, so he didn't ask any more. Until one night later, Sima Kong took the initiative to find Chao Zhongwei, hoping that Chao Zhongwei would do him a favor.

Chao Zhongwei was surprised that the ruthless Sima Kong would take the initiative to come to him. Sima Kong wanted Chao Zhongwei to help kill the mother-killing enemy back then, and Chao Zhongwei readily agreed, feeling that this was an opportunity to untie the knot in his heart. So, Chao Zhongwei took his close sixth junior brother Fan Yuteng and seventh junior brother Mi Junliang to accompany Sima Kong to leave the Miyu Basin and go to Dongshi Mountain in Kanglong County to take revenge.

When he arrived at the huge manor, Sima Kong began to see one killing one, and seeing two killing one pair, with that fierce and vicious appearance, even Chao Zhongwei was shocked when he saw it. Although the owner and his wife are not immortal cultivators, they also have martial arts that are not weak. In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Chao Zhongwei made a move and easily ended up with the man, the woman howled and threw herself on her husband's corpse, her blood-red eyes glared at the four people holding the fairy sword, and said hatefully: "My father is the master of the Taiqing Sect, he will definitely not let you go!"

At that time, Chao Zhongwei was a little flustered, he didn't expect to provoke the Taiqing Sect, he didn't expect that the daughter of the dignified Taiqing Sect Master would live with her husband in a suburban manor, and he didn't expect that Sima Kong's mother-killing enemy would actually be Li Yuanxiao's son-in-law! But the matter has come to this point, and there is no turning back. Chao Zhongwei killed Li Yuru with a sword, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the Wenhua jade pendant falling out of Li Yuru's neck, thinking about giving it to the new junior disciple after returning to the sect, Chao Zhongwei ripped off the jade pendant and held it in his arms.

After returning to the sect, the four of them discussed that the matter must not be leaked. Why Sima Kong's mother died at the hands of He Yundui back then, no matter how Chao Zhongwei asked, Sima Kong refused to say. The revenge of killing his mother was avenged, but Sima Kong was still cold, still ignoring the female disciples, and concentrating on cultivating immortals, so he was even loved by Ye Shenrong.

"This matter is over, even if the master learns the truth in the future, he shouldn't blame me for protecting my junior brother!" Chao Zhongwei said secretly in his heart.

Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable coercion behind him, which was a sense of oppression caused by the master's deliberate release of momentum, Chao Zhongwei had to say to a few junior disciples: "Stop the sword, let's go down." ”

Mi Junliang asked in confusion: "Second Senior Brother, what's wrong? Are you tired? Fly for a while and you'll arrive in Muzhou, so let's rest then." ”

Chao Zhongwei understands that this is the master behind him who exerts coercion on himself alone, and others can't feel it.

"Don't fly, there are masters behind you, and it seems that the situation is at least in the middle stage of annihilation, and it is not something we can afford to provoke. If he tries to chase us, none of us can escape, so let's just wait here and be polite. Chao Zhongwei was worried in his heart, he could release such a powerful master, and he could destroy them with a single hand.

Sure enough, after a moment, the two of them slowly fell in the sky, and under one of them was the blue light of the Chengying Sword, revealing his status as no less than the Tianyun Sect Master. Sima Kong's face became very pale, although he had never seen Li Yuanxiao, but the power of the Chengying Sword was not weaker than Ye Shenrong's Gongbu Sword, so the identity of this person was about to be revealed. When the immortal sword was lowered, the purple robes on Li Yuanxiao and Yu Ruijiang affirmed Sima Kong's judgment.

Sima Kong and the others have never seen Li Yuanxiao, but Chao Zhongwei has seen them. While he was worried in his heart, he had to salute casually on the surface: "It turned out to be the two masters of Taiqing Sect Master and Elder Yu. I don't know what to tell you to find a disciple?" He called the two "masters" and called himself "disciples", in order to vaguely remind each other that everyone was from the Seven Great Sects, and hoped that Li Yuanxiao and Yu Ruijiang would give Tianyun Sect a little face.

Li Yuanxiao was not polite at all, and shouted loudly: "You don't pretend garlic for me! I won't spare you today!"
