Chapter 294: Defection
In the past few days, the top of Kunlun has become busy, although in order to prevent panic, the insect mark is only known to the disciples who have been in the beginner for a long time, but judging from the number of sword spirits that have been shuttling back and forth in the sky, even ordinary disciples have faintly felt that there are unusual events in the door recently, Xiao Qianye according to the master's instructions, every morning class came back to Xi Jianping to instruct the younger disciples to practice swords, most of the new beginners over the years do not know him, but seeing that he has a sword spirit pinned to his waist, he never uses it, but uses another slender black gold ancient knife, and he is puzzled in his heart, and he is embarrassed to take the initiative to ask。
Zichen Zhenren has not come to the news of a step closer, only that it is said that there are endless ghosts and ghosts in various places, and if one wave is killed, another wave will appear immediately, it seems that someone is deliberately trying to hide the location of the central monster, and Qingqiu Zhenren went out to explore the insect marks in Kunshan, and he has not returned yet.
He can only wait anxiously every day, but the more he thinks of these things, the more absent-minded Xiao Qianye becomes, and even pointing out the younger generations seems to be more impatient, in fact, after Emperor Zhong came back from the Valley of Silence that day, he clearly told himself that the mark on the fifth princess is a sacrificial technique, and the insect marks distributed in Kunshan are the sacrificial array, once the sacrifice enters the array, I am afraid that the monsters under the water of Tianchi will resonate, and it is even very likely to escape.
He frowned, pacing back and forth because of irritability, calculating the time The fifth princess and her party should be almost near the foot of the mountain, whether they want to be turned away, or they will be calculated, the master has not expressed his position.
At this moment, a vigorous figure fell directly in front of him from the sky, Xiao Qianye suddenly looked up, only to see Tang Hongsleeve striding over and grabbing his collar, and then dragged him from Xi Jianping to his sword spirit in front of many disciples, and the sword technique only paused for a while, and immediately fell quickly in the direction of Luwu Mountain in the west.
"Senior sister?" Xiao Qianye reacted at this time, and hurriedly asked, "Is it that Uncle Qingqiu is back?"
"Well, the master is back, and the master is also here. Tang Hongsleeve's attitude towards him was much better than before, and he turned to stare at him repeatedly for a long time, and asked strangely, "Are you alone, where did that ghost go last time?"
Xiao Qianye heard her mention Di Zhong, his face sank, these days Di Zhong often said goodbye without saying goodbye, and he walked for most of the day, although the two of them coexisted in their thinking, but in fact he could not directly understand Di Zhong's thoughts, this unfair treatment often made him feel uncomfortable, but he was helpless, so he muttered unhappily: "Where he goes, he always doesn't tell me, anyway, he will be able to actinize the technique, come and go freely, and the pure qi in Kunlun can also allow him to maintain the magic of divine splitting." ”
"Actinic Technique......" Tang Hongsleeve blinked, remembering that he appeared in Fuyu Mountain faster than himself that day, and then it suddenly dawned on him, Xiao Qianye obviously didn't want to talk to her about Emperor Zhong all the time, and took the initiative to ask: "Has Senior Uncle Qingqiu already determined the location of the insect marks in various places when he came back this time?"
"Master was injured for this insect mark, but he still asked me to find you as soon as I came back. Instead, Tang Hongsleeve snorted dissatisfiedly from his nose, and chattered quickly, "No wonder Lian Zhen was so unhappy before, you haven't been back for a long time, this time Master, Uncle and Uncle are still in charge, they come to you directly if they have anything! ”
"Senior sister......" Xiao Qianye grinned awkwardly, in fact, Master and Uncle didn't really think that he was better than other disciples, but because Emperor Zhong was there, he was particularly favored by himself.
The two quickly arrived at Luwu Mountain, where Qingqiu Zhenren is located, which is located in the west of the four main peaks of Kunlun, because he has been majoring in pharmacology and pathology, and there are all kinds of rare herbs planted near the disciple's room, and they can smell the refreshing medicinal fragrance from a distance, and float all the way to the clouds along the fog of Kunlun, before they landed, the little junior brother Ling Bo greeted him, and said urgently: "Senior Sister Tang, Senior Brother Xiao, the head and master are here, you should also hurry over." ”
Xiao Qianye immediately followed Ling Bo into the house, Qingqiu Zhenren had a layer of white veil wrapped around his arm, his face was a little tired, and he was sitting on the ground on the central lotus seat, breathing luck, Xiao Qianye's heart moved, and blurted out: "Uncle Shi, how are your injuries?"
Qingqiu Zhenren seemed to wave his hand easily, although his injury was in the arm, but he moved his whole body, only moved slightly, and immediately a touch of blue and purple surged on his forehead, Tang Hongsleeve hurriedly ran to the master's side, and anxiously persuaded: "Master, don't move, this poison is extremely toxic, and it can spread to the whole body if you move, you can finally stop the injury now, don't move again." ”
Seeing this, the head Jiang Qing carried out the internal force under his palm, pushed it on the back of Qingqiu Zhenren with one hand, and hooked the Qingqi of Luwu Mountain into the room with the other hand, Xiao Qianye didn't dare to ask anything more, and turned to his master in confusion, after a while, Qingqiu Zhenren's breathing gradually calmed down, his face improved, Jiang Qing withdrew from Qingqiu Zhenren's side, and his palm was lucky again, transforming spiritual power into a thin barrier to protect Qingqiu Zhenren, and then he turned to look at his apprentice, and said: " This is a scorpion pincer wounded by a worm mark, which is in Xianyin Mountain, about 200 miles east of Kunlun, very close to the generation infested by mountain ghosts. ”
Xiao Qianye had a faint feeling in his heart, Jiang Qing groaned: "Your uncle has ventured into the danger to explore insect marks in various places this time, and it is true that similar insect marks have been found in the southeast, northwest and northwest, but there is still a corner of the 'snake tail' missing, if the master guesses correctly, then the last corner is probably near the Lu that has not been accounted for so far, and the five insect marks show a sacrificial array, waiting for the sacrifice to enter, causing the underwater monsters in Tianchi to wake up again." ”
"Is there any way to get rid of the insect marks?" Xiao Qianye's face turned pale for a while, his whole body trembled, cold sweat couldn't help dripping down his cheeks, and he was even more ashamed in his heart, he wanted to turn the tide but had no way to start, he gritted his teeth viciously, and the hand holding the knife clenched tightly, he didn't expect that in order to protect Tianyu City that day, he would personally bring this huge hidden danger to the master's door!
Jiang Qing saw the gloomy look on his disciple's face, he just sighed silently, and continued: "Qingqiu once tried to destroy the scorpion pincer mark at Xianyin Mountain, but because of this, it caused the nearby mountain ghosts to pour out of the nest, and even attacked it in groups, and this mark carried Miao Jiang's strange poison, although it was forcibly split in half with the sword spirit, countless giant scorpions appeared in the middle instantly, Qingqiu was accidentally injured by the scorpion pincers, but fortunately, when he came back, he could barely restrain the spread of toxins in his body. ”
When Xiao Qianye heard what the master said, he only felt terrified in his heart, and his face was full of blood, and then he remembered the same sect that had been arranged to eradicate the ghosts and ghosts in the past few days, and he was even more anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Master, senior brother, ...... Are you back?"
Jiang Qing nodded, the trickiness of this matter was obviously beyond expectations, and sighed: "I have ordered them all to return, this insect mark is too dangerous, I will personally deal with it with Bai Li later, but at the moment, the person who casts the spell is still nowhere to be found, the open gun is easy to block and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, I am only worried that they will also encounter unexpected dangers in Qiushui, calculate the time, it will be almost three days before they should enter Kunlun Mountain." ”
"Master......" Xiao Qianye wanted to speak and stopped, looked at Jiang Qing in embarrassment, and spoke with difficulty for a long time, "Master, Emperor Zhong once made it clear to his disciples that the fifth princess Mingshu was the sacrifice of this sacrifice array, she was the bloodline of the two gods of the sun and the moon in the heavenly realm, once she resonated with the illusion under the water of Tianchi, the consequences would be unimaginable, Master...... Should it be stopped now, and the sacrifices should not be allowed to enter Kunlun Mountain easily. ”
Jiang Qing looked at his apprentice with a thoughtful expression, Emperor Zhong had already told him about this matter, but for Kunlun to treat a foreign princess with a miserable background like this, after all, he couldn't bear it and violated the admonition of the teacher.
Xiao Qianye saw that the master did not answer for a long time, and naturally knew that the Kunlun faction had acted in a style of mercy since ancient times, even if he was in a crisis, he would never turn away the five princesses, not to mention that during this time, the five princesses and Yun Qiushui got along day and night, and the relationship between the two was not that of mother and daughter was better than mother and daughter, if it was really as Emperor Zhong said, he would directly kill the five princesses for a hundred, I am afraid that Uncle Qiushui would not be able to pass that level.
Silence, suddenly swept over, Xiao Qianye felt his throat dry, couldn't help coughing, and actually coughed out a mouthful of blood from his chest and lungs, Jiang Qing's eyebrows moved, and he subconsciously moved to protect the disciple's heart, and persuaded in a serious tone: "Don't be so anxious, stabilize your mind first." ”
"Master......" Xiao Qianye forced himself to calm down, the corner of his eyes swept over the gentle face of the master, the memories of his childhood hit his heart one by one, and also made him struggle violently in the bottom of his heart, Kunlun should be a place of cultivation without disputing the world, but it was his own negligence that brought about the disaster, the master and uncle are all soft-hearted, and they must be willing to take risks themselves rather than ignore them.
But he is different, he has been studying since he was a child, not to save the common people.
Xiao Qianye closed his eyes tightly, reached out to the sword spirit on his waist, and suddenly felt his heart beat violently, as if all the blood in his body was flowing backwards in an instant, and his body, which was already as cold as frost, suddenly became hot and unbearable, he took a deep breath, and then raised his head, there was no trace of hesitation in his eyes, Xiao Qianye bowed solemnly to the teacher again, and then took off the sword spirit on his waist, held it up with both hands, and said tremblingly: " In the eight years since the disciple returned to his homeland Feiyuan, he has been in a high position, holding the power of life and death, and has been ordered by the emperor to slaughter innocents, suppress the people, and have no mercy, and have long violated the master's advice, and the master will not be held accountable for his favor, but the disciple is ashamed of Kunlun......"
"Shut up. Jiang Qing's heart trembled, he already knew what he wanted to say, and instantly felt empty in his heart, and he unconsciously stopped it, but Xiao Qianye still looked at the master's eyes firmly, and continued intently: "The disciple is ashamed of the master, and he doesn't want to shame the master again, please take back the Likong Sword and expel me from the master!"
After saying this, Xiao Qianye was in a cold sweat and trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and kowtowed to his teacher again.
Jiang Qing subconsciously wanted to help the disciple in front of him, but his body seemed to have lost all his strength, and he only raised his hand slightly, stroking the Likong Sword - the sword spirit was seriously damaged, and he silently told the dangerous encounter of this disciple during this time, but there was always a bundle of pure white and clean soul quietly attached to the sword body, although he did not speak, but he revealed a deep sadness.
Tang Hongsleeve's heart was beating in horror when he listened to it, and he didn't care that it was the head of the family who was talking to his own apprentice now, so he directly rushed over and grabbed his shoulder and shook it vigorously, and scolded angrily: "You have a problem with your brain? Do you know what you're talking nonsense now? I, I dislike you very much, and I also said something heavy at the time, but I didn't really want to drive you away, don't take it to heart, okay?"
Xiao Qianye just looked at Jiang Qing, both of them were silent and silent, for a long time, Jiang Qing's hand swept over the empty sword, and Zhengse asked, "What if you don't want to be a teacher?"
Xiao Qianye smiled bitterly, but he didn't know that his hands were trembling so much at this moment, and finally replied lightly: "If the head of the family refuses, it will be regarded as my own betrayal of Kunlun." ”
"What a boss. Jiang Qing heard these two words, knowing that the disciple had made up his mind, no matter how much he tried to stop it, it would be useless, after a while, Jiang Qing slowly withdrew his gaze, and with a wave of his sleeve, the sword box behind his sleeve was opened, and then waved his hand The Likong Sword was instantly included in it, Jiang Qing stared at his most important apprentice, and muttered in his mouth, "I will take it back for the time being, but Kunlun is not something you can go away from if you want to betray, do you want to go out and kill the five princesses now, and then carry all the infamy alone?" Qianye, you said that you are in a high position, in terms of identity, the fifth princess is also your monarch, so unkind and unjust, you are not afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"
Xiao Qianye smiled bitterly in a low voice, but there was a hint of madness in his laughter: "The head doesn't know, I was already unkind to that princess, and I would have been killed by this knife for a long time." ”
Before the words fell, Xiao Qianye had already gotten up, Jiang Qing's heart was full of coldness and he subconsciously wanted to stop the apprentice's footsteps, and the next moment Gu Chen came out in response, it was the martial arts of the above heavenly realm that directly repelled his teacher, and then when everyone came back to their senses, Xiao Qianye's figure had already left Luwu Mountain.
