Chapter 119: Seeing Through
In the wine cellar, Li Jiang was healing the Taishi, Mu Dong and Mo Jun Qian were guarding the cave entrance of the wine cellar to watch over the defensive array, and everyone else was sitting in their places, sighing from time to time and sad from time to time.
The invasion of the demons has caused them indelible damage, but all they can do is complain.
But now there is no time to vent the complaints, and everyone begins to worry about food.
Li Jiang and the others and the disciples of the Fusheng Pavilion all have cultivation and don't have to care about their stomachs, but the rest of the people are ordinary people, old and weak, women and children, don't talk about cultivation, even if you are hungry, you can ask for half a life.
Mu Dong was kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear to see them like this, so he thought about it, walked to the bedboard, and discussed with Li Jiang: "Senior brother, why don't we take out the pill and distribute it to everyone?"
When he first left Qingyun Sect, Qi Changfeng gave each of them a few tips, one of which was filled with pills, although it was not a high-grade product, and it had no effect on ordinary people, but the ingredients contained in it were enough to fill people's stomachs.
Li Jiang knew his temperament, and he couldn't see people suffering, and the elixir was originally left by the master for them as a backup, but now it ......
After only a moment's hesitation, he finally nodded, "That's all it can be." ”
With permission, Mu Dong took out his own pill and prepared to distribute it to everyone, and Mo Jun Qian also took out his share and distributed it to the people.
Suddenly, the light in the wine cellar flashed, alarming the crowd, a pill in Mu Dong's hand rolled to the ground, he picked it up and wiped off the dust in distress, stuffed it into the hands of an uncle, and then jumped to the light and said: "Scared me to death you, Senior Sister Lingyin, where have you been these days, we are very worried about you." ”
Lingyin: "A few days ago, I saw that the scenery of Qingshan was good, and the aura was abundant, so I found a place to practice alone, who knew that when I was just about to go down the mountain, I met the people of the demon clan, I knew that my cultivation was low, and I didn't have a hard time with them, so I hid in the mountains for a few days, and I didn't come back until today." ”
When she said this, her eyes wandered, and she happened to meet Li Jiang's inquiring gaze, and hurriedly withdrew her gaze.
Mu Dong was the closest to her, and found that she was wrong, thinking that she had something unspeakable, and seemed to believe it: "In this way, then don't go out, it's very dangerous outside." ”
"Hmm. Lingyin nodded, she seemed to think of something, and said to Li Jiang: "Senior brother, I overheard a conversation with a few demon soldiers on the way here, they said that the demon clan came to the Central Plains this time to snatch the divine pearl, you must keep it safe, don't let the divine pearl fall into the hands of the demon clan." ”
Li Jiang wiped away the deep meaning in his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I will." ”
"That's good. Lingyin stepped aside and rested alone.
Mu Dong walked up to Li Jiang, as if looking at the old lady, and quietly sent a divine thought to Li Jiang: There is a problem with the spiritual sound.
Li Jiang gave him an affirmative look back.
Mu Dong was surprised: You already knew, why didn't you tell me?
Li Jiang gave him a look: What do you think?
He, the idle master, would be startled if he told him, but of course Li Jiang wouldn't tell him.
Mu Dong was obviously self-aware, and pointed at Mo Junqian: What about him?
Li Jiang nodded.
Mu Dong was very frustrated, and his state of mind at this time can be represented by one sentence - everyone "woke up" and I was "drunk".
It was night, everyone slept peacefully, only Mo Junqian kept vigil alone.
Lingyin walked up to him and whispered, "Have you missed me these days?"
She showed her daughter's delicate posture, but Mo Junqian was unmoved.
In the dark night, Mo Junqian's upright facial features were even more handsome, and Lingyin looked a little stupid, "You go and rest first, I'll just look at it." ”
Mo Junqian glanced back at her, there seemed to be other meanings in his eyes, but he hid it too deeply, and Lingyin didn't notice it.
He didn't say a word, then walked to the side and sat on the spot with a knife in his hand, closing his eyes.
Lingyin looked at his side face, and there were thousands of thoughts in her heart, she didn't want to steal the magic beads, she didn't want him to think that he was an unscrupulous woman, but her father's words lingered in her heart, she couldn't leave everything behind, after all, it was her father who had accompanied her since she was a child.
Family affection and love always have to give up one.
She withdrew her gaze and quietly walked to where Li Jiang was.
The people around him didn't sleep soundly, some coughed and some rolled over, and every subtle movement was enough to make Lingyin's heart tremble.
Slowly moving to Li Jiang's side, he leaned against the wall and hugged his arms to recuperate, it had taken him a lot of energy to heal the old lady's injuries.
Lingyin looked left and right, reached out and carefully groped around Li Jiang's waist, and after a while, she touched a round bead, she was overjoyed, and took out the bead.
There was no light in the cellar, and the bead did not look like the texture of the pearl in her hand, and it also had small edges and corners.
Just as she was wondering, a hand grabbed her wrist.
"What are you looking for?"
Lingyin was startled, and suddenly broke away from his hand, and the beads rolled to the ground.
Li Jiang drew his sword and stabbed her, and by the light of the sword, she saw clearly that the so-called bead turned out to be a polished smooth stone.
Li Jiang's cultivation should not be underestimated, she didn't dare to delay, she shook her hand back, and the dagger in her sleeve flew out and stabbed at Li Jiang.
Li Jiang dodged and dodged, and the blink of an eye Kung Fu Lingyin had disappeared into the wine cellar.
Mo Junqian and Mu Dong had woken up, and even said that they had never slept before.
"You're guarding the cellar here, I'll go out and have a look. Li Jiang picked up his sword and walked outside, but Mu Dong stopped him, "Let her go, there are demon soldiers everywhere outside, wouldn't it be dangerous for you to go out." ”
Mo Junqian didn't speak, but his eyes already explained his attitude.
"No, if she is really a demon, then our position will be exposed, and we must not let her go to see the Demon Venerable. You two strengthen the formation, if I don't come back before dawn, you will lead the people to find a new hiding place. ”
With that, the sword flashed, and Li Jiang disappeared in place.
Mu Dong and Mo Junqian glanced at each other, their expressions solemn.
......
After running for dozens of miles, Lingyin was already exhausted, but Li Jiang behind him was getting closer and closer, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and it was a matter of time before he caught up with her.
It wasn't until she stopped under a big tree with five people hugging her.
With the dagger in her hand, she stared at the front, listening carefully for any movement.
The cold wind blew and hit her in the face, and she didn't dare to blink, nor did she dare to make any movements, just stood stiffly in place.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her.
"Why did you hide your identity and come to my Qingyun Sect, what is the purpose?"
Li Jiang pointed at her coldly, and his words did not have the gentleness that he used to speak to the little junior sister, but were replaced by questioning and indifference.
Lingyin sneered, "Why? Don't you already know?"
Li Jiang asked, "The matter of the Divine Bead is top secret, who told you about it? Demon Venerable Jichen was sent by him?"
At this time, Lingyin was no longer the cute and cute little girl before, but an indifferent attitude, "There is no leaky wall in the sky, not to mention that the Demon Venerable has the ability to reach the sky, and there are few things in the Three Realms that he doesn't know, I advise you to take the initiative to hand over the Divine Bead, so as not to regret it in the future!"
Li Jiang sneered: "It's really unashamed, the demon clan was not the opponent of the human world thousands of years ago, and this time he doesn't want to occupy Middle-earth, you better go back and tell the Demon Venerable, let him dispel this idea as soon as possible!"
"You!" Lingyin was struck by his words, and said angrily, "If I don't talk to you as fast as I can and hand over the Divine Bead, otherwise the Demon Venerable will not let go of the Qingyun Sect, and maybe it will become the next Floating Life Pavilion." ”
"Do you admit that the matter of the Floating Pavilion has something to do with you?"
Lingyin turned her head, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, "I don't know about this, the matter of the Floating Life Pavilion has nothing to do with me." ”
Li Jiang sneered: "You demon clans are all complicit, so I won't believe your words." Today I will arrest you and go back to apologize to those people who died miserably!"
After finishing speaking, with a twist of his wrist, the sharp sword blade struck towards Lingyin.
At this moment, another force appeared to counteract the sword qi, and a charming voice sounded.
"Looks like I'm here at the right time. ”
