() When Ling Xiao slipped out of the men's house, Xiao Firewood followed.

Not long after, Lin Jianchi got up at night.

Finding that Ling Xiao and Xiao Firewood were missing, he went to look for them.

After looking around the men's house, he was sure that Ling Xiao and Xiao Chai Huo were not here.

The hour has passed, and the curfew has passed.

Lin Jianchi was worried that Ling Xiao would be kicked out of the Qingtai for violating the curfew, so he thought that he must find Ling Xiao before the others found out about it.

As for Xiao Chai Huo, this Red Shadow Rabbit sister likes Ling Xiao so much, she must have followed Ling Xiao when she found out that she had left the men's house.

If you find Ling Xiao, you can find Xiao Firewood.

Therefore, before the accident in the men's house, Lin Jianchi, Ling Xiao and Red Shadow Rabbit, the two of them and one beast, were not at the scene.

Lin Jianchi followed the trail of the Red Shadow Rabbit to find the vicinity of the cold spring.

At this moment, a fire broke out outside the mountain gate of Qingtai.

Tongues of fire licked the night sky violently.

The firelight reddened half of the sky.

Seeing that the fire was raging, Lin Jianchi was hesitating to go outside to put out the fire, but suddenly found a cloud of black mist climbing up the stone steps leading to the cold spring.

The black fog almost blends with the night.

If it weren't for the light of the fire and the moonlight, he might not have seen the black mist that moved silently.

The black mist seemed to want to dive into the cold spring, but was blocked by the barrier around the cold spring.

Seeing that the black mist was acting strangely, Lin Jianchi gave up the idea of fighting the fire and stayed in the dark to continue to observe.

Black Mist tries to find a gap around the enchantment.

Ling Xiao Xu noticed the strangeness outside the mountain gate, so he came out of the cold spring, and he didn't even put on his clothes in a hurry.

He walked out while arranging his clothes, and as soon as he reached the edge of the barrier, he keenly spotted the black mist outside.

What the hell is that?

Ling Xiao didn't care about tidying up his appearance, stared coldly at the black mist, and pulled out the frost sword.

The black fog outside the barrier turned into the shape of a human body, but the essence was still a black fog.

The humanoid black mist can actually speak:

"My lord, finally... It's finally waiting for you! I know that the lord has not disappeared! Benguang has finally waited for the lord!"

The humanoid black mist called himself "Benguang", and he looked very excited regardless of his body shape and speech.

Ling Xiao frowned, swung his sword and slashed at Ben Guang, without mercy.

Benguang's body was split in two, and one black mist turned into two, but soon the two black mist recondensed together.

"My lord..."Benguang sounded very aggrieved.

Ling Xiao raised his hand and released a spiritual wave, which scattered the form of the black mist in one fell swoop.

After being dispersed, the black mist regrouped.

This thing has no substance at all, the hammer is not flattened, it is not rounded, it cannot be broken, and it cannot be killed.

Simply so!

Ling Xiao raised his hand and raised an ice prison, trapping the black mist in it.

Black mist can pass through ice.

This thing can't sleep.

It's simply invincible.

Ling Xiao stopped and asked coldly, "What kind of monster are you?"

"It's me, my lord!

The Frost Sword pointed at Benguang.

Ling Xiao's voice was colder than the cold light flowing on the blade of the Frost Sword:

"You set the fire outside the mountain gate?"

"It's... Ahhh

Seeing that Ben Guang both admitted and denied, Ling Xiao was almost certain that even if the fire outside the mountain gate was not set by this monster, it must have something to do with him.

This monster has accomplices.

In that case, the other people—

By the way, what about the county lord?

Didn't she say she was going to wind him outside?

If she was in the barrier outside the cold spring, there was a monster like Benguang, she couldn't have noticed it.

Ling Xiao glanced around, confirmed that An Shiqing was not nearby, and immediately raised his hand to confirm An Shiqing's current location with the spirit ruler.

Ling Xiao didn't say much, left Benguang, and walked towards the men's house, and the moment he jumped up, he found Lin Jianchi hiding behind the rockery.

The two looked at each other.

Lin Jianchi neither dodged nor dodged, but was shaken the moment he was discovered by Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao didn't stop because of this.

It wasn't until his figure disappeared from view that Lin Jianchi looked in the direction of the cold spring again.

The monster named Benguang is gone.

Lin Jianchi couldn't feel that he was nearby.

It's as if the monster never appeared.

Lin Jianchi also flew up and headed in the direction where Ling Xiao disappeared.

Ling Xiao and Lin Jianchi arrived at the men's dormitory one after the other, only to know what happened in the men's dormitory tonight.

When they returned, the possessed disciples had been isolated in the courtyard of the men's dormitory.

Xie Liubin complained to them: "You two guys, where have you gone! Do you know how scary it was just now, we were almost all killed by these possessed disciples!"

He was exaggerating.

Xie Liubin's exaggerated tone was just to make the two people who were not present before realize the seriousness of the matter.

The black mist possessed the disciple.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao and Lin Jianchi thought of Ben Guang together.

The two also remained silent.

"What should I do with the possessed disciple?" Lin Jianchi asked.

Regarding this issue, the elders of Qingtai have already made arrangements.

Cheng Jin said: "After the elders finish putting out the fire, they will take the possessed disciples to the Innocent Abode." ”

In this case, everyone will be much more relieved.

The elders of Qingtai made a move, and these possessed disciples should not have to worry about their lives.

Xie Liubin was worried that what was possessing his disciples was the same as the demonic energy in his body at the beginning.

At that time, the elders of Qingtai were helpless against the demonic energy on his body.

The sect master of the Qingtai Pei clan personally took action, but he couldn't clear the demonic qi in his body for him on the premise of saving his life and cultivation.

This time, I don't know what will happen.

Especially when the suzerain and acting suzerains of Qingtai are not there.

After thinking about it, Xie Liubin decided to confide this worry in his heart to Pei Qiyuan.

Pei Qiyuan also knew that the matter was important, and he did not act recklessly.

He couldn't make up his mind alone, so he consulted with everyone in Qingtai.

Until the results of their deliberations come out, the possessed disciples are always isolated in the men's dormitory.

As long as the light array is there, the monsters attached to the disciples inside should not be able to escape.

Just in case, Pei Qiyuan still arranged for Pei Yunyun to stay in the men's room.

Even though the fire outside the mountain gate had been suppressed and the disciples who were possessed by the men's house had been isolated, Qingtai had not returned to its former calm.

It should be said that since the Qingtai Pei clan recruited this class of disciples, there has been no peace in the mountain gate.

How the fire outside the mountain gate was burned.

And how did those monsters that would attach themselves to people sneak into the sect.

Why don't those black mist-like monsters go to the rest of the sect, but run to the men's house.

All of this is suspicious.

For a while, the disciples of Qingtai were also on this issue, and they had different opinions.

When the men's house had an accident at that time, only Ling Xiao and Lin Jianchi were not there.

Of course, there are two more people, and that is Zhu Zhihua and Yeshi, who have never returned.

I don't know who has such a big brain, and actually said that these four people are a gang. They should work together inside and outside to do these evil things.

Although this kind of heart-damning argument does not talk about evidence, it sounds somewhat reasonable.

The key thing is that before the results of Pei Qiyuan's discussion with the elders came out, he asked several older disciples to detain Ling Xiao and Lin Jianchi villains to the precept hall.

Ling Xiao and Lin Jianchi stood in the ring hall.

Except for the two of them, there was no one in the ordination hall.

The current situation is a good opportunity to whisper.

Lin Jianchi couldn't help but ask Ling Xiao: "That monster, why did you call your lord?"

Ling Xiao looked at him with strange eyes, "What kind of monster?" I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

If it were someone else, he might have been fooled by Ling Xiao, who was pretending to be stupid, but Lin Jianchi saw and heard it with his own eyes and ears tonight.

"I've seen it all, and I've heard it all!" Lin Jianchi said aggressively, "That monster named Benguang is called your lord, and he is very respectful to you!"

Ling Xiao was unmoved and said, "Since you have seen and heard it, you should know that I have killed that monster several times." If I had anything to do with that monster, I would do that? Use your brain!"

Lin Jianchi carefully recalled the scenes he witnessed in the cold spring, and gradually felt that Ling Xiao might really not know what Ben Guang was.

But what he didn't understand was why Benguang's monster was so respectful to Ling Xiao?

Even if Ling Xiao killed him several times, the monster's attitude towards Ling Xiao was always the same.

After a long time, Lin Jianchi couldn't help but ask again: "Then why did you violate the curfew and sneak out of the men's house in the middle of the night?"

Ling Xiao glanced at him lightly, "It's not your turn to ask about this kind of thing." ”

"It's not his turn to ask, then I'll ask you-" Elder Niu Hai appeared in the Ring Hall, staring at the two juniors under the hall with empty eyes, and his emotionless gaze fell on Ling Xiao. "Ling Xiao, in the middle of the night, why did you violate the curfew?"

"The juniors went to the cold spring and soaked for a while. Ling Xiao said truthfully.

Elder Niu Hai's eyes were a little more surprised.

"You can stand the cold spring water!" he then approving, "it is not bad that you can have such strong willpower at such a young age." ”

Elder Niu Hai looked at Lin Jianchi abruptly, a signal of danger flashing in his eyes.

He sternly asked: "Lin Jianchi, why weren't you there when something happened to the men's dormitory? Why did you break the curfew and sneak out of the men's dormitory?"

Although they were all routine questions, Elder Niu Hai's attitude towards Ling Xiao and Lin Jianchi gave people a completely different feeling.

He seemed to be very jealous, repulsive, and disdainful of Lin Jianchi.

When Lin Jianchi, a disciple of the Shanyin clan, appeared in Qingtai, this Elder Liu Hai was the one who tried his best to oppose it.

"I..." Even though Lin Jianchi was already accustomed to being treated special by others because of his background, when Elder Niu Hai treated him differently from Ling Xiao, he was still a little unconvinced. "I'm going to find a little firewood!"

"Little firewood, it's the Red Shadow Rabbit you brought back!"

Speaking of the Red Shadow Rabbit, a glimmer of light flashed in Elder Niu Hai's eyes.

The Red Shadow Rabbit didn't know how many years it had lived, how many heaven and earth spirit elements it had absorbed, and it was so spiritual.

Elder Niu Hai looked at Lin Jianchi indifferently.

"Why did you hesitate just now?" he said in an aggravated tone, questioned him severely, and threatened him even more severely, "What did you do when you violated the curfew? If you don't recruit you from the truth, I will take the decision to cut off your qualifications and expel you from Qingtai!"

Did Lin Jianchi hesitate when he answered Elder Niu Hai just now?

He paused, was it hesitation?

He was just unconvinced that the elder sitting on top of him had treated him differently from Ling Xiao.

Lin Jianchi became more and more dissatisfied with this Elder Niu Hai.

Ling Xiao glanced at him.

Before Elder Niu Hai was about to attack Lin Jianchi again, he spoke:

"Lin Jianchi and I are in Cold Spring. ”

"Really?" Elder Niu Hai didn't seem to believe it. "Then why didn't you just say it?"

Ling Xiao replied, "We met a monster in the cold spring. ”

Elder Niu Hai showed a strong look of doubt, and still expressed doubts about Ling Xiao's words: "If this is really the case, you two have been standing in front of me for so long, why didn't you say a word before?"

Ling Xiao is neither humble nor arrogant: "I'm afraid that the elders won't believe it." ”

Elder Niu Hai restrained his expression, "Then you should tell me what monsters you two encountered in the cold spring." ”

He wanted to see what tricks the two juniors could come up with.

Ling Xiao said: "That monster is a black mist. ”

Lin Jianchi: "Can transform into a human form." ”

Ling Xiao: "But there is no entity. ”

Lin Jianchi: "Even if his form is broken up, he will be able to reunite very quickly." ”

Listening to these two juniors singing and harmonizing, and what they said was serious, Elder Niu Hai couldn't help but believe it a little.

"And after that?"

Ling Xiao grabbed in front of Lin Jianchi and said, "We found him, and after handing him over, he fled and disappeared. ”

Lin Jianchi glanced at him with his peripheral vision.

What Ling Xiao said to Elder Niu Hai was undoubtedly the truth, but it retained many details.

Why didn't he tell everything that had happened?

Are you afraid of getting into trouble?

If that's the case, Lin Jianchi said he could understand.

Elder Niu Hai looked at the two juniors in the hall in disbelief.

He stroked his beard and frowned.

I don't know what he suddenly thought, he was stunned, left these two juniors, and disappeared without a trace.

Elder Niu Hai disappeared so suddenly.

In the ring hall, there were two of them left.

After being silent for a while, Lin Jianchi broke the silence:

"You..."

He probably wanted to ask Ling Xiao something, but somehow he suddenly changed his mind, said "forget it", and gave up.

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes, as quiet as ever, like a contemplative sculpture.

Lin Jianchi is also full of thoughts.

After a while, an older disciple brought two sets of four treasures from the study.

The elder disciple said, "By the orders of the elders, please ask the two sons to draw the monsters you saw in the cold spring. ”

Seeing that Ling Xiao did not hesitate to pick up the pen, Lin Jianchi also went to the side with the four treasures of the study according to the request of this senior brother.

Let them draw separately.

Is this for fear of their collusion?

Soon, the two of them finished drawing.

At that time, Ling Xiao was closest to Benguang's monster, and he could see it very clearly, so he painted it more carefully.

And Lin Jianchi was some distance away from them at that time, and what he saw was Ben Guang's back and silhouette, so his depiction of the details was not as clear as Ling Xiao's.

Although their drawings are different, the depiction of monsters in form is surprisingly consistent.

It was a mass of monsters with human form, but no body.
