Chapter 12: Ice Heart
The words are divided into two ends. After Yao Xingyuan and the others returned to Fengyun Restaurant, they reprimanded Yao Qian and Wang Tingyou for a few words and punished them to face the wall. Then he asked the others to go down to heal, and when a few people left, only Zhang Xuefeng was left.
Yao Xingyuan asked, "Xuefeng, what else do you have to do?"
Zhang Xuefeng told him what happened outside Yunshui Village, and told him his suspicions. Yao Xingyuan was shocked when he heard this, and saw that there was no one else around, so he whispered: "You mean to say that Wang Tingyou has taken refuge in the devil, and now they are people on the side of several elders?"
Zhang Xuefeng nodded and said, "It's very possible." Otherwise, we decided to flee that night, and the elders seemed to have gotten the news in advance to stop us, and finally let a few juniors lose their lives. Speaking of this, Zhang Xuefeng's eyes were a little dim.
Yao Xingyuan knew that his apprentice's meticulous mind was still above him, and he knew that this was the case, so he was so angry that he slapped the table with one palm, and said angrily: "I have to kill this ungrateful little animal." ”
Zhang Xuefeng persuaded: "Master, don't be impatient. We're still just speculating, and there's no real evidence, and I don't think he will admit it. In the future, we will monitor carefully, and we will not find any flaws if we don't believe it. ”
Yao Xingyuan took a deep breath, nodded and said, "You have a point, don't tell anyone about this matter, just you and I can monitor him." Suddenly, he exclaimed, "If he was a traitor, wouldn't he have told the others about our whereabouts?"
Zhang Xuefeng said hesitantly: "We haven't been here for a long time, so he must have had time to tell others." Even if we told the others, we wouldn't have anywhere else to go. ”
Yao Xingyuan knew that he was talking about things, and thought: It's a big deal to fight with them. Then he thought of Xuan Ape and the others, and said in his heart: If we take refuge in those two masters of the Yuan Infant Period, there may still be some hope, and we can not be afraid of them from now on. But now that people have been offended, hey, this matter will have to be talked about later.
Besides, Wang Tingyou, as Yao Xingyuan and Zhang Xuefeng speculated, he had indeed taken refuge in the Elder Sect. The Great Elder had promised him that as long as Yao Xingyuan and the others were wiped out, he would be appointed as the master of the Ice Heart Hall. Don't look at Wang Tingyou's usual lack of ambition, in fact, he is indeed an ambitious person, he has coveted the hall master for a long time, even if there is no promise from the Great Elder, he will find an opportunity to eradicate the other senior brothers. At that time, Yao Xingyuan would have to pass on to him. It was precisely because the Great Elder saw this in his mind that he asked him to do the internal response.
Since moving to Fengyun Town, Wang Tingyou has carefully inspected the level of cultivators in the vicinity, and found that except for the Zen Master of Miaofa Temple and his second senior brother, whom he can't see through, the rest are all small roles that have not even completed the foundation building, and he wanted to send a message to the Great Elder today and ask him to send someone to kill all the cultivators here. Unexpectedly, due to Yao Qian's whim, he had to ask for a red-tailed squirrel. And he also heard that there were two Yuan Infant Stage masters here, and in a flash of inspiration in his mind, he came up with a plan to kill people with a knife. Who expected, Zhang Xuefeng and the others were too useless, and he didn't expect the red-tailed squirrel to be so powerful, and the sudden appearance of the last two Yuan Infant stage masters, all of which were beyond his expectations.
Although Wang Tingyou was very jealous of the two Yuan Infant Stage masters, it was expected that the Great Elder would not have such concerns. Yao Xingyuan is the disciple grandchild of the Great Elder, and even he is a cultivator in the late stage of brewing pills, not to mention the Great Elder. Besides, there are five elders in the Ice Heart Hall, except for the second elder who is under house arrest for not knowing how to lift up, there are still four elders left. It should be enough to deal with two Yuan Infant Stage masters. When the time comes, the elders may reward me with the red-tailed squirrel as soon as they are happy, and if I tame him, then I will have one more magic weapon.
The more Wang Tingyou thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to have a few elders fly over and kill them all. Fengyun Town is isolated from the world, there is no telephone at all, and Tingyou can only use the carrier pigeons brought over. After writing the letter, Wang Tingyou tied it to the pigeon's leg and released it. In the rest of the time in his heart, it was best to think about how he would live after becoming a hall master, whether to kick the Great Elder away or be a stable puppet hall master.
Wang Tingyou, who was full of fantasies, didn't notice that a black shadow caught the carrier pigeon he sent out. This person is Zhang Xuefeng. Zhang Xuefeng had long expected that he would deliver the message tonight, but he didn't know what method he would use. After seeing the carrier pigeon flying out, he hurriedly chased the carrier pigeon down, and then hurried to see Yao Xingyuan.
Yao Xingyuan read the news on the carrier pigeon, and was so angry that his teeth itched, and he said angrily: "This bastard thing even wants to kill me, I must crush him to ashes." Then he said to Zhang Xuefeng: "Xuefeng, you take your brothers and sisters to arrest this rebel here, I want to see what else he has to say." ”
At this time, Wang Tingyou was still immersed in the fantasy of becoming the master of the Ice Heart Hall, fantasizing about how much spirit and majesty he would be when the time came. When Zhang Xuefeng and Feng Fang angrily brought people to arrest him, he still hadn't woken up from his daydream, but looking at the anger on everyone's faces, Wang Tingyou still hit "Tutu" in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "What are the senior brothers and sisters coming to me for so late?"
Zhang Xuefeng was old-fashioned, Yao Xingyuan just asked him to arrest Wang Tingyou, but Yao Qian was furious. Since Zhang Xuefeng said that Wang Tingyou was a traitor and the news that he wanted to use Yao Qian to kill the strong enemy under Yun Chongshu in the morning, Feng Fang and the others were eager to peel him off and remove his bones immediately. Yao Qian knew that he was actually used as a gunman, and he almost made a big mistake and hated Wang Tingyou to the core, and when he saw him like this, he was even more angry, and shouted: "Good you traitor, you are not sincere and repentant at this time." See that I don't teach you well. Then he stabbed him with his sword.
Wang Tingyou broke through the acquired realm and reached the middle stage of qi induction, and Yao Qian was still in the acquired realm, and he didn't know when he would really embark on the path of cultivation, how could Yao Qian stab him. If Wang Tingyou took Yao Qian as a hostage at this time, he might still have a chance to live, but he still had illusions and vainly thought that he was the one who was the Great Elder, Yao Xingyuan didn't dare to do anything to him, and until this time he didn't know that the details of his traitor had been revealed.
Zhang Xuefeng was afraid that Yao Qian would make a mistake, so he hurriedly signaled Feng Fang and the two of them to work together not to give Wang Tingyou a chance to fight back. Zhang Xuefeng is already in the middle stage of brewing pills, and Feng Fang has also reached the early stage of brewing pills, and the two of them have joined forces with Wang Tingyou, the junior brother in the middle stage of qi induction, and they can only wait to be killed.
Wang Tingyou saw that the two of them were holding him, and he knew that he might have leaked the bottom, but he still said stiffly: "Why are you arresting me, I want to see the master." As he spoke, he writhed symbolically. Outsiders looked as if he had really been wronged, but no matter what he said, it was useless, because everyone hated him to the core.
Qiu Wenda sneered and said, "We are just going to arrest you, a traitor, to see Master." "He is an honest man, and he can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes, not to mention that Wang Tingyou directly killed several of his junior disciples.
Everyone pressed Wang Tingyou to see Yao Xingyuan.
Yao Xingyuan saw Wang Tingyou unconsciously thinking of his apprentices who died tragically, and said angrily: "Rebel, I treat you well on weekdays, why do you want to betray me." Then he threw the letter he had taken from the flying pigeon to Wang Tingyou.
When Wang Tingyou saw that the matter was revealed, he didn't panic, and said slowly: "Master, how do you say that you are also the disciple of the Great Elder. If you don't listen to his old man's orders, aren't you a rebel?"
Yao Qian slapped him heavily and reprimanded, "Although I am not good, I also know that the Great Elder has taken refuge in the devil, and he is no longer a member of my Bingxin Hall." Then he said to Yao Xingyuan: "What else do you want to tell him, kill him directly to avenge my senior brothers." ”
Wang Tingyou exclaimed: "You can't kill me, I have already sent a message to the Great Elder." As long as I intercede, maybe the Great Elder will spare your life. It's still useful for you to keep me. It turned out that although Wang Tingyou did not see Zhang Xuefeng arresting the carrier pigeon, he was a thoughtful person and cautious, for fear that something would happen to a carrier pigeon, so he released two carrier pigeons in a row.
Yao Xingyuan said: "If you don't kill you, how can you be worthy of a few apprentices under my Jiuquan." As soon as the words fell, he pointed at Wang Tingyou's dantian and killed him.
When Yao Qian heard that the Great Elder already knew that they were here, she panicked in her heart and said, "Dad, what should we do?"
"There is no way to retreat, only one battle. After Yao Xingyuan finished speaking, he instructed Qiu Wenda and others to dispose of Wang Tingyou's body, and then left Zhang Xuefeng and Feng Fang to discuss countermeasures.
At this time, the children of the demon have bloomed everywhere, and they have nowhere to escape. After discussing for a night, Yao Xingyuan sent Zhang Xuefeng, Feng Fang and others to contact the cultivators near Fengyun Town, hoping that they could help and fight against the demon together.
Feng Fang went to the Miaofa Temple to find the Dharma Zen master. The Dharma Zen Master and Feng Fang are close friends, and they are fighting against the demon forces, so he is naturally duty-bound. Zhang Xuefeng came to Yunshui Village, but he could only stand and wander outside the village, hoping that someone would come out from inside and call out the two Yuan Infant Stage masters. But no one in Yunshui Village came out today, Zhang Xuefeng knew that it was a life-and-death moment, and the two Yuan Infant Stage masters were the key to it, so he was determined to wait for them.
It was almost evening when there was a whistling in the distance. Zhang Xuefeng was overjoyed in his heart, because he recognized that this voice was Yun Chong's. Take a closer look, who else would it be if it wasn't Yunzhong.
Yunzhong played all day today, and he didn't go home for dinner at noon. It wasn't until it was late that Yunqing and Li Fu were afraid that they would be worried that they reluctantly went home. When I arrived near the entrance of the village, I saw one of the people from yesterday's group standing at the entrance of the village, and I felt hatred in my heart. He stopped when he walked in front of Zhang Xuefeng, and then looked at him with his eyes wide open. The red-tailed squirrel also glared angrily.
Zhang Xuefeng also saw that Yun Chong was still angry, and he also knew that it was he and others who were too rude yesterday. But the relationship between life and death doesn't care about that, and said: "Little friend, can you ask those two Taoist friends yesterday to come and see me." I have a hundred thousand urgent things to see them. ”
As soon as the words fell, a voice came. "You have something important to see our brother. The two suddenly stood beside Yun Chong, it was the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon.
It was the ape who spoke. He didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Xuefeng, but he was worried about what this matter had to do with Yun Chong, so he came out to meet.
Zhang Xuefeng saw that the two of them appeared in front of him unconsciously, and secretly said "amazing". Of course, he didn't know that the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon had always been on Yun Chong's body.
Zhang Xuefeng held the junior salute and said: "Recently, the devil has been raging, and the main church has also been infiltrated by its forces. Yesterday was one of them, a demon lurking beside us, intending to provoke the grievances between the two seniors and us, so that he could kill people with a knife. After we went back, we took the inner due, knowing that there would soon be a traitor from the main hall to ravage Fengyun Town, and I was afraid that Yunshui Village would not be spared when the time came. My mentor sent me in the hope that the two seniors would be able to help. It is not only a favor for the main church, but also a favor for the people of the town. ”
Although Zhang Xuefeng said it righteously, Xuan Ape didn't think so. The village protection array outside Yunshui Village can't even be broken by himself, and it is estimated that others can't break it even if they are smarter than themselves. I just wanted to refuse, but suddenly I thought again, isn't this a good opportunity for Yun Chong to set foot in the cultivation realm?
"Okay. When the time comes, you can send someone to call us. ”
The fire dragon was puzzled and asked, "Big brother, what do you promise them to do?" Isn't it like we're looking for trouble? ”
The Xuan Ape told him his thoughts, and the fire dragon also secretly said yes.
Seeing that the matter had been decided, Zhang Xuefeng also went back to his life satisfied.
In addition to the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon, Feng Fang invited the Zen master of the Miaofa Temple and two loose cultivators, one is called Kusang Daoren, and the other is called Aoki Zhenren, both of whom have reached the late stage of Qi transformation, and they are only one step away from the brewing pill period. Yao Xingyuan didn't want to invite others anymore, firstly, because people are more expensive than fine. The other ones with low cultivation can only come up and send them to death; secondly, since they have already invited two Yuan Infant Stage masters, if this is not enough to resist the strong enemy, then it is useless to invite others.
Besides, after Xuan Ape and Fire Dragon decided to let Yun Chong start cultivating, they returned to Yun Chong's house to meet Yun Qing and Li Fu and discuss with them about Yun Chong's cultivation. Although Yun Qing and Li Fu didn't know how to cultivate, they always had to let them know. Cultivation generally requires retreat, and sometimes retreat takes months, or even years, and even some immortal retreat times are calculated in 100 years and 1,000 years.
When Yun Qing and Li Fu heard that Yun Chong had the opportunity to become a first-class immortal, they were too happy in their hearts, so how could they object? Although Li Fu was a little reluctant to Yun Chong in her heart and wanted him to stay by her side, she was also a person who knew the general situation. After all, what cultivation may bring is longevity and longevity with the sky, isn't this exactly what every mortal is looking forward to?
Speaking of cultivation, Yun Qing remembered something, and hurriedly ran to the storage room to rummage for a while, and finally found a few pieces of jade slips and two red apricots. Yun Qing handed the jade slip to Xuan Ape, and then said, "This is left by an old immortal who happened to pass by on the day Chong'er was born, and it is said that it will be useful in the future." Do you see if these are useful for Chong'er's cultivation?"
Xuan Ape took the jade slip and saw that it was made of fine jade, and several defensive formations were added to it. Only a drop of blood can be broken, but once the blood is dripped, then only the person who dripped blood can see the handwriting on it. The ape had no choice but to take some of the heavy blood and drip it later. Although I can't see the content of the jade slip, I can already be sure that this person must be a first-class immortal based on these formations alone.
Then he looked at the two red apricots again. Yun Qing didn't know the goods, but Xuan Ape was a natural expert in identifying treasures, and he knew at a glance that this was the kind of red apricot that Lei Zhenzi had eaten back then, and now Thunder God. Lei Zhenzi's achievement of the golden body has a great relationship with it, and it can be said that most of the credit is on it. The ape only hated himself for not discovering this treasure earlier.
The fire dragon also saw that the two red apricots had some spiritual power fluctuations, but they were still too far behind their own dragon fruits. But looking at Xuan Ape's inexplicable look of excitement, he couldn't help but ask: "Big brother, this red apricot's spiritual power is not very big, why do you look so excited, does it have any special effect?" Although he said this, he didn't think so in his heart, after all, he was too confident in his dragon fruit.
Xuan Ape's fingers trembled and held the two red apricots, and then told Lei Zhenzi about it, and then continued: "In terms of the abundance of spiritual power alone, this red apricot is indeed not as good as your dragon fruit. But your dragon fruit's yang energy is too good, but your yin energy is too little, it can only be regarded as a foreign fruit of cultivation. But this red apricot is different, it has all five elements, yin and yang are harmonious. Eating it can bring out the attributes of your body to the limit. After Lei Zhenzi ate it, he grew wind and thunder wings, and with the later Thunder God Hammer, this made a generation of immortals. I see that the five elements in the body of the cloud weight are stable and evenly distributed, and if you eat it, I don't know what kind of vision will happen. I'm afraid it's better than Lei Zhenzi. The main thing is that there is no danger of exploding after eating it. ”
The fire dragon pondered for a while and said, "Since the old immortal has this red apricot, and this kind of red apricot is only available in the cave of Yunzhongzi. Could it be that the person who left the exercises was actually Lei Zhenzi's master, Yun Zhongzi?"
The ape knew that this was almost certain, but it wasn't the most important thing at the moment, "It doesn't matter who it is. The point is that we don't have to worry about what exercises Yun Zhong cultivates anymore. As one of the twelve Gu Immortals under the Yuan Shi Tianzun Throne, the exercises he left behind were definitely not comparable to other exercises. With the addition of these two red apricots, maybe Yunzhong can break through the acquired realm in a short period of time and reach the innate realm. "Xuan Ape still underestimated the medicinal power of Red Apricot, which is not listed for the time being.
The Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon thought that without further ado, since they had decided, they would do it immediately. They and Yun Qing called Yun Zhong over and took a drop of his blood and dropped it on the jade slip.
Yun Zhong felt very innocent. He was playing with the red-tailed squirrel, but he didn't want to be taught by Yun Qing, not to mention cutting his finger and dripping two drops of blood on a few pieces of white wood (Yun Zhong didn't know Yu Jian). But Yu Jian's reaction made Yun Zhong feel that the blood drops this time were not wronged.
After Yun Chong's blood dripped onto the jade slip, the blood slowly flowed along the surface of the jade slip until it flowed all over the surface of the jade slip. Then the jade slip emitted a white faint light, and the white light became more and more intense, and finally even the two Yuan Infant Stage masters of Xuan Ape and Fire Dragon felt a little dazzling. When the bright light receded, the jade slip had disappeared. Although the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon felt that the strong light just now was a little dazzling, they could still see what had just happened. Just when the white light reached its strongest, it suddenly turned into a white line and flew into Yun Chong's mind.
The two looked at Yun Zhong expectantly, but they were disappointed. They forgot that because of the dragon fruit, Yun Zhong still couldn't speak. It's just that they don't know that there is another reason, but this reason is quickly thought of by the ape.
"We'd better find someone who knows how to read and give Yunzhong a lesson, so that he can know a few words. ”
The fire dragon was puzzled, what is the relationship between cultivation and literacy, and asked, "Why is this?
Xuan Yu explained: "Since Cangjie created words, both the fairy world and the human world have used words to record things. Therefore, it is very likely that these jade slips of Yun Zhongzi were also written in words. ”
The fire dragon said disapprerovingly: "You and I can't read and write, and you can't still practice the exercises. ”
"We're different. Xuan Ape said, "You and I are a desolate alien. Our exercises come from God, and they are already in our minds from the time we are born. We can understand what that means, so we don't have to be literate. But Yunzhong is different. ”
The fire dragon suddenly realized, and said in his heart: Then he should indeed hire a teacher to learn to read and write.
Speaking of literacy, Yun Qing remembered Chu Yun. Chu Yun is a well-known talent in Yunshui Village, and most of the things related to words in the village are handled by him. "Chu Yun is literate, so it's better to let him teach Chong'er to read. ”
Xuan Ape said in his heart: Since it is the best person you know. Then he took two red apricots and handed them to Yun Zhong for him to eat.
Yun Chong just saw that a drop of his blood disappeared as long as Yu Jian let it go for a while, and he still felt pity in his heart. When I saw the two red apricots, my mouth was already watering. It's just that Yun Qing once told him not to take other people's things, so he didn't take them to eat. Seeing that the ape took the initiative to eat it for himself, he would be polite there and bring over the two red apricots.
Yun Chong originally wanted to eat both by himself, but thinking that he was with the red-tailed squirrel on weekdays, how could he not give him one, so he handed the red-tailed squirrel one. The red-tailed squirrel is not like Yun Chong who only cares about playing, he also heard the conversation of Xuan Ape and the others just now, and knows that this red apricot should not be eaten by himself, so he does not take the red apricot. Seeing this, Yun Zhong no longer shirked, and ate two red apricots by himself.
Everyone saw that Yun Zhong had eaten the red apricot, and their eyes were all staring at him without blinking. Lei Zhenzi grew a pair of wind and thunder wings after eating it, what did Yun Chong grow after eating? But what disappointed them was that Yun Zhong didn't seem to feel anything other than feeling full, and even less did he grow any wings.
Xuan Ape said disappointedly: "It seems that he has no chance with this red apricot, and he wasted this strange fruit in vain." ”
In fact, it's not that Yun Chong wasted this strange fruit, it's just that Yun Chong took dragon fruit in the front, and red apricots in the back, and although red apricots have their extraordinary, they are inferior to dragon fruit in terms of spiritual power after all, so dragon fruit suppresses the role of red apricots. Only after the spiritual power of the dragon fruit in Yun Chong's body was completely absorbed, could the benefits of the red apricot be revealed. At that time, I am afraid that it will be even more surprising than Lei Zhenzi's original performance.
The top priority now is for Yun Zhong to learn to read and write quickly, so that he can know what is written on Yun Zhongzi's jade slip. In order to help Yun Chong's cultivation, Xuan Ape and Fire Dragon decided to invite Yao Xingyuan and Zen Master and others as well. Although their cultivation is not as good as that of the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon, they are all human cultivators after all, and their cultivation will have a reference effect on Yun Chong's cultivation in the future to a certain extent. Not necessarily useful, but certainly harmless.
Xuan Yu took Yun Zhong out of the village to find Yao Xingyuan and the others, and asked them to move to Yunshui Village to live, after all, Yunshui Village's village protection array is indeed good. The reason why I want to take Yun Zhong with me is actually a helpless move. Yun Zhong heard that they were going to the town and insisted on going with them, but the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon couldn't get out of the village protection array, so they had to take him with them.
