Wuqi Mountain.

This seemingly barren mountain-like mountain range, no one would have imagined that the belly of the mountain was actually hollow, and this was the most secret place of the Blood Moon Sect, an underground palace. Even in this place where there are many disciples, there are only a few people who know about it.

I don't know how many years the huge underground palace has been silent, under the reflection of the candles all around, the place you see is full of quaint and weird, and a little farther away, the already faint light is immediately swallowed up by the deep darkness, no matter what, you can't see clearly.

It is in such a depressing environment, in the main hall of the underground palace, there are several figures, led by one with his hands behind his back, with his back to everyone, although he has an indifferent look, but he just stood there, and there is a kind of majesty that looks at the world.

"What do you think?"

After a while, I saw that the middle-aged man led by him slowly turned around, his face was gentle, it was the Blood Moon Sect Master Jiang Pingsheng. And the group of people under the main hall were the three major envoys of the sect and a strange person who was tightly wrapped in black clothes.

"Sect Master, don't fall for their tricks!"

Before the crowd could speak, they heard a deep voice, urgent, almost like shouting.

At this time, he looked at the still plain sect master, and his heart was even more anxious, so he took two steps forward and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and it took a long time before he said: "Sect master, you must not go." ”

"Fourth Brother ......"

At this moment, Qinglong on the side glanced at Xuanwu and said slowly: "The sect master has hills and valleys in his chest, how to judge, how to deal with this matter, you have your own superiority, don't worry about it." ”

Xuanwu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, hesitated for a long time before retreating back to the same place, but he still seemed to be unwilling, and muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, I can't believe that snake spirit." ”

"Haha......"

Jiang Pingsheng didn't pay attention to it at all, but laughed out loud, quite hearty, shook his head with a smile and said: "Xuanwu, you usually only know how to fight and kill, but I didn't expect to have your own opinion this time, not bad!"

Hearing this, Xuanwu scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Sect Master, don't be sarcastic about me. ”

After a while, Jiang Pingsheng slowly put away his smile, his face returned to his previous indifference, and said lightly: "Snake Lingzi used my Holy Sect Heavenly Maiden Order to summon me and others to go to the main hall to conspire with great things this time, and the Ten Thousand Saints Hall has already made a move last time, so there must be no problem." ”

Qinglong said: "All those who enter my Holy Sect have sworn a poisonous oath in front of the Holy Goddess Statue, but over the years, my Holy Sect has fought openly and secretly, and cannibalism is not uncommon, if the real Heavenly Maiden has a spirit, hehe......"

Speaking of this, Qinglong didn't say any more, but laughed self-deprecatingly, and continued: "The poisonous oath made in front of the Heavenly Maiden can still be violated, and this Heavenly Maiden Order probably can't represent the sincerity of the Snake Spirit Son, but as the sect master said, the Halloween has already moved, and those so-called famous and decent families will definitely not ignore it, and at this juncture, there must be no tricks." ”

Jiang Pingsheng smiled slightly, noncommittal.

"It's just the sect master, that snake spirit son has a honey-bellied sword, cunning and insidious, even if the sect master's cultivation is profound, but still can't be careless, it's better for his subordinates to go together, and then there will be a good response. ”

Jiang Pingsheng glanced at Qinglong carefully, it seems that in the huge sect, only Qinglong can be in charge, and the scheming means are good, if Ming'er ......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile: "Over the years, our sect has developed rapidly, and there are many sect affairs, and Suzaku and Xuanwu don't care about such things. ”

Qinglong wanted to say something, but he was silent for a long time, and just whispered: "Sect Master......"

Jiang Pingsheng shook his hand and was about to speak again, but a slightly hoarse old voice came from the darkest corner on the side:

"I'll go with the sect master. ”

I saw that from the darkness, a strange black shadow slowly walked out, judging from the walking posture, it was completely an old man who was trembling, but everyone was condensed.

Jiang Pingsheng turned his head to look, but the expression on his face changed several times, and he hesitated for a long time before he said in a low voice: "Old man, your body is ......."

Under the eyes of everyone, I saw that the man in black raised his hand with considerable effort, and then waved it lightly: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

And under the reflection of the faint candle flame, his hands, which had long been withered, did not have a whole piece of flesh and skin, as if they had been burned in the flames, showing a hideous and terrifying appearance.

At this time, I saw him standing there, like a dead wood, but it inexplicably gave people a sense of arrogance.

Jiang Pingsheng looked at the old gentleman for a long time, and the latter was covered with black veil, and he couldn't see any mood fluctuations at all, but after getting along for many years, he knew the old gentleman, so he was silent for a while, and nodded slightly.

Then, he explained some sect affairs to Qinglong, and then walked towards the outside of the main hall with the old gentleman, and after a while, the two disappeared into the darkness.

In the main hall, only the three major envoys remained in place.

Qinglong sighed inexplicably, then walked to Zhu Qing, who had been silent, and asked, "Third sister, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm just a little worried about the Sect Master. ”

I saw Zhu Qing glance at Qinglong, and then turned his head to look at it quietly, and he didn't know where to look, and muttered softly: "Ming'er's mother left early, if the sect master has another accident, then he will really be too bitter......"

"Don't talk nonsense. ”

Qinglong glared at her, then looked in the direction of the exit of the underground palace hall, was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Although that old gentleman has never been revealed, in his daily contact, his knowledge and knowledge are far above you and me, and I am afraid that his cultivation is not comparable to you and me." ”

Zhu Qing frowned and said suspiciously, "Big brother, do you know who he is?"

"I don't know, this person's origin is unknown, and the sect master has never mentioned it, and the sect master has a bad relationship with him, and he will definitely not harm the sect master. ”

Looking at Zhu Qing, who was still worried, Qinglong continued: "Don't you know who the sect master is, some things are more thorough than we can see. ”

"I just know him too well, that's why I'm worried, I know that the sect master is eloquent, but ..... But ......."

Speaking of this, Zhu Qing bit his lip, as if it was difficult to speak, and after a while, he suddenly said: "But you didn't find out, since Ming'er's mother left, our Blood Moon Sect has been expanding, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the sect master will be hated......"

"Shut up!"

Qinglong interrupted her words abruptly, and then realized that her tone was too aggressive, and after a while, her tone returned to her previous calmness, and said, "These are not things that you and I should discuss, don't mention them again in the future." ”

Since Zhu Qing had already started, he couldn't restrain the words buried deep in his heart anymore, and said resentfully: "You know, I watched Jiang Ming grow up, and I treat him like my own child, has he been happy for so many years, have any of you cared, I really can't bear to let him suffer a little more!"

Qinglong snorted coldly, interrupted her words again, and said coldly: "If you are really good to him, persuade him to come back and take over the affairs of the sect, so that there will be no successor to our Blood Moon Sect!"

After speaking, he threw down his sleeves and walked away, but he didn't go far, but he stopped again and said lightly without looking back: "This is his life!"

In the main hall, there was an instant silence.

I don't know how long it took, only Zhu Qing was still stunned, and the candle closest to her seemed to be about to burn out, and the flame could not be extinguished.......

Ogishin.

As the sun sinks, the afterglow spreads all over the eaves and window corners of the courtyard, as if gilded with a layer of gold, and the yellowed sycamores that can be seen everywhere are like old people in the twilight of their lives in the sunset, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

If you are in this environment, even an illiterate rural villager will probably sigh a lot, how relaxed the Tao is, how relaxed the body and mind are, and so on.

But Cheng Li was not interested in the beautiful scenery in front of him, he had been guarding the door of the courtyard for the past few days, falling leaves like rain, laying layer after layer, the young man's patience was gradually exhausted, at this time on his slightly immature face, the original hope and hope had disappeared, all replaced by anxiety and worry.

He sat on the root of the old tree at the gate of the courtyard, and he didn't know how long he had been sitting, looking up at the sky, in a daze for a long time, and suddenly sighed inexplicably, and muttered to himself: "Another day has passed." ”

Cheng Li slowly stood up, walked into the courtyard, glanced at the empty courtyard again, and then snorted dissatisfiedly, and closed the wooden door heavily.

He originally planned to go back to his residence, but somehow, he walked absentmindedly along the deep and winding path, and actually walked near the attic where Yun Guhong was, and hesitated in his heart, thinking that it would be better to meet the master.

When he walked to the attic, Yun Guhong happened to be sitting alone in front of the stone table, and Cheng Li walked forward slowly, bowed, and said respectfully, "Master." ”

Yun Guhong didn't know what he was thinking before, but when he heard the voice, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly, "Li'er, you're here." ”

"Yes, the disciple hasn't come to visit the master for two days, and today I thought about it, so I came, and the master won't blame me, right?"

Yun Guhong looked at the little disciple with a serious face, smiled calmly, and then looked away, looked away, and said, "You still remember Master." ”

The young man smiled, and looked at the place where Yun Guhong's eyes looked, there were only a few scattered sycamores, which were lonely and lonely here, and seemed a little depressed, but he couldn't figure out why the master always liked to sit here and watch, it seemed to have become a habit.

Standing quietly beside Yun Guhong, he was originally a complicated heart, but he also inexplicably felt a little more secure and settled down.

"By the way, Li'er, how are the three disciples from Xiao Taoyuan and Vajra Gate settling down?"

Cheng Li said respectfully: "Tell the master, everything is settled." ”

Yun Guhong nodded slightly, and said: "Although our Wutong City is the head of the righteous path, we must not be arrogant, and besides, they are here for the first time, so we must treat each other politely, and remember not to slack off." ”

Cheng Li was silent for a moment, and then nodded seriously, "Disciple knows." ”

At dusk, two shadows, one large and one small, stretched very long.

Yun Guhong turned his head to look at Cheng Li, this young man seems to be always so vibrant, there is always an indescribable arrogance and forcing edge on his body, and his temperament, expression, and qualifications seem to have the shadow of another person.
