Chapter 3: Betrayal

The back mountain is the forbidden land of the Cloud Cliff Sect, and no one can set foot here except for the head Tian Qingtian. If the Wuya Sect finds that someone has broken into the forbidden land of the back mountain, it will be abolished and imprisoned in the dungeon of the Cloud Cliff Sect, or directly killed on the spot.

Therefore, the back mountain can be said to be the most mysterious place in the Cloud Cliff Sect, and I don't know what is in the back mountain.

Some disciples said that there are peerless secret books and exercises in the back mountain, which are said to have been left by the immortal master; some people say that there is a prisoner with martial arts in the back mountain, anyway, all kinds of theories emerge one after another, but no one dares to go to the truth.

Outside a secret room in the back mountain, Tian Qingtian stood aside respectfully and said, "Master, this batch of newly recruited disciples had some accidents, and they were attacked by demon beasts on the way up the mountain, and only two people survived. ”

"Demon Beast ......" About half an hour later, an old and weak voice came from the secret room, "Ning Country is a mortal country, how can there be a demon beast if there is a lack of aura...... Isn't it that Ning Guo has a great opportunity and is being promoted to the Nine Rank Cultivation True Kingdom? Yes, yes, it must be like this, otherwise there will be no demon beasts!"

"Master, I heard Xiao'er say that the demon beast they encountered was a demon wolf, and there were silver-white thorns on its back!" Tian Qingtian added.

"That's the silver-thorned blue wolf, which belongs to the lowest-level demon beast, but it's normal that your waste disciples can't deal with it. After saying a passage, the old man who was about to die in the secret room seemed to have exhausted his strength, and after coming over for a while, he slowly spoke, "Ning Guo's opportunity is coming, hurry up and find a suitable body for this seat." As long as this seat can snatch the opportunity of Ning Guo, the strength of this seat will definitely return to the peak...... No, it will definitely surpass my previous cultivation. ”

"Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, the apprentice will order someone to prepare!" Tian Qingtian said happily, and when he saw that there was no movement in the secret room, he said goodbye before leaving.

Early the next morning, Meng Xun had just gotten up, and Fang Xu came to look for him.

"Senior Brother Meng Xun, according to the practice of this sect, the new disciples will go to see the head of the sect the next day, and then measure their martial arts talents, and then receive the disciple token of their sect. Fang Xu was still the same as yesterday, his temperament was a little cold, and he simply talked to Meng Xun and led Meng Xun to the main hall of the sect, without saying anything along the way.

Meng Xun felt very depressed, and the two of them soon arrived at the main hall of the sect, only to see that Lin Youyou had already come, chatting and laughing with Tian Lin, and everything yesterday seemed to have not happened.

Lin Youyou saw Meng Xun coming, beckoned to him, and then trotted to Meng Xun's side, took his hand, and whispered in his ear.

Tian Lin's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he secretly cursed in his heart and then greeted him.

"Meng Xun, Senior Brother Tian Lin told me just now that there are a lot of fun places in the Cloud Cliff Sect, why don't you take me to play one day. Lin Youyou shook Meng Xun's arm coquettishly, with a little girl's posture, which made Meng Xun's heart almost melt.

Just when Meng Xun was about to agree, Tian Lin walked over and said: "Senior Brother Meng Xun, the terrain of the Cloud Cliff Sect is dangerous, and some interesting places are some dangerous places, you just came to the Cloud Cliff Sect, and you are not familiar with the Cloud Cliff Sect, when I have time, I will take you to visit the Cloud Cliff Sect to see how it is." ”

Meng Xun thought about it, he wanted to refuse at first, but looking at Lin Youyou's pitiful gaze, he agreed.

Tian Lin smiled heartily and said, "Since that's the case, then let's talk about it." By the way, hurry up and go to the main hall, don't make my father wait!"

The main hall of the Cloud Cliff Sect is very large, several times larger than the county yamen, looking at the lifelike unicorn stone carvings at the door, Meng Xun was startled, fortunately, there is Lin Youyou, otherwise he will be out of the ocean.

Lin Youyou looked at Meng Xun's flustered appearance and smiled helplessly: "Meng Xun, even if we are a disciple of the Cloud Cliff Sect now, take it easy." ”

Meng Xun's black face was slightly hot, he nodded and took a deep breath, and the former's Lin Youyou's hand walked towards the main hall.

Lin Youyou was slightly stunned, and smiled sweetly after reflecting.

The hall is resplendent in gold, twelve gilded pillars are enough for ten people to surround so thick, each pillar is carved with relief, rat, ox, tiger, rabbit...... Pigs, each pillar carved with 12 zodiac signs, as if alive.

"You are Meng Xun and Lin Youyou, you can escape death under the siege of demon beasts, you are also quite talented!" Tian Qingtian walked down from the main hall, very kind, without the slightest majesty, which gave Meng Xun a very good impression.

"Xie Zhangmen praised. Lin Youyou bent down to thank him, and when he saw Meng Xun on the side, he listened to Tian Qingtian in a daze, so he quietly poked Meng Xun with his arm a few times, before Meng Xun reacted and hurriedly bowed.

Tian Qingtian looked at Meng Xun's honest appearance and couldn't help but smile and teased: "Could it be that there are flowers on the face of this master?"

"Well, it's not. Meng Xun's black face turned a little purple, and he said nervously: "The feeling of the head of the sect to the disciple is very kind and kind, which reminds me of the head of our village." ”

Tian Qingtian was slightly stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "It has been almost forty years since I became the head of the Cloud Cliff Sect, and it is the first time that a disciple has said that I am like the village chief. ”

"Master, Meng Xun doesn't mean anything else, and I hope that the head of the family will forgive his sins!" Lin Youyou was frightened, glared at Meng Xun, and then hurriedly asked Tian Qingtian for his guilt.

Tian Qingtian waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, then looked at Meng Xun and nodded: "The muscles and bones are good, and it is a good material for practicing martial arts." Come, put your hands on this stone ball and see how talented you are?"

Meng Xun was a little scared, but when he thought that Lin Youyou was still by his side, he mustered up his courage and put his hand on the stone ball.

The clear touch was transmitted from the palm of his hand to the Tianling cover, which made Meng Xun feel excited.

Slowly, the stone ball became transparent like a crystal ball, and the center of the ball emitted a faint fluorescence, although the light was very weak, but it could still be seen clearly in the daytime.

Tian Qingtian took back the stone ball and didn't speak, just nodded towards Meng Xun, and then raised the stone ball in front of Lin Youyou.

Lin Youyou followed Meng Xun's example, put his hand on the stone ball, and closed his eyes.

It's a pity that nothing happened, and the stone ball still looks like an ordinary stone, which makes Lin Youyou disappointed.

Seeing this, Meng Xun took Lin Youyou's hand and gently pinched it to comfort him. Lin Youyou raised his head and smiled at him reluctantly, then lowered his head again, his eyes dim.

After Tian Qingtian finished all this, he sat back on the gilded chair above the main hall and said to Lin Youyou: "Lin Youyou, you should step back first." Meng Xun, I have something to tell you in this seat. ”

Meng Xun nodded after hearing this, and then looked at Lin Youyou, for some reason he felt a little sorry for Lin Youyou.

Lin Youyou restrained her disappointment and said with a bright smile: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine." ”

Outside the hall, Tian Lin saw Lin Youyou come out alone, and he was stunned for a moment and then ecstatic. He greeted him and said, "Senior Sister Youyou, what's wrong? Could it be that Senior Brother Meng Xun lit up the stone ball?"

"How did Senior Brother Tian know?" Lin Youyou was a little surprised, even if he understood, after all, Tian Lin was Tian Qingtian's son, and he had lived in the Cloud Cliff Sect since he was a child, and he must have seen someone light up the stone ball, maybe he himself had lit the stone ball.

"Didn't Senior Brother Tian also light up the stone ball?"

"Do you see that I am alive and well, like a person who lights up a stone ball?" Tian Lin suddenly stood up and chuckled: "Oh, I leaked my mouth, and I accidentally said something that shouldn't be said." ”

Lin Youyou's eyes flashed with a gleam, how smart she was, knowing that Tian Lin was deliberately losing her appetite, she approached Tian Lin with a charming face and gently blew the wind in his ear, and breathed out Xianglan, "Senior Brother Tian, just tell people, why didn't you light up the stone ball to live well." ”

Tian Lin shrugged and said that he didn't know either, "My father didn't tell me about the specific situation, but I have seen a lot of brothers and sisters who lit up the stone ball, and there are no less than fifty of them so far, and most of them have died horizontally, don't you say it's strange." According to my father, anyone who can light up the stone ball is a genius, and they can cultivate the Zhenzong Treasure Book of the Sect, and according to legend, if they are successful in cultivation, they are immortals. ”

"But in that case, why didn't the old man in charge of the sect cultivate?" Lin Youyou just spoke, and then hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered, "Isn't it possible that the head of the sect can't light up the stone ball." ”

"Yes, that's why oh father, he has only lived for so long!" Tian Lin sneered and said, "Senior sister, you can't talk nonsense about this matter, even Meng Xun can't say it, otherwise not only Meng Xun will die, but you will also die!"

Lin Youyou was so frightened that his face turned pale, and then he forced himself to calm down: "But senior brother, didn't you tell me, aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid of death. But who made me the son of the head of the house, I only told you about this matter, and I didn't say anything else! You know what I mean. Tian Lin smiled evilly, his temperament changed sharply, and he seemed to be a different person from before.

Before leaving, his big hand squeezed Lin Youyou's upright buttocks and said, "Senior sister is a person who understands, she should know what I mean." ”

Lin Youyou's expression was cloudy, and she didn't return to her usual look until Tian Lin was completely far away. She didn't leave, but waited for Meng Xun outside the hall.

It wasn't until it was getting late that Meng Xun came out of the main hall, and he was very moved to see Lin Youyou squatting under the stone lion.

"Haven't left yet?"

"I'm worried about you!"

β€œ......”

Under the sunset, the figures of the two were staggered together, but Lin Youyou did not tell Meng Xun what Tian Lin said, and Meng Xun did not tell Lin Youyou what Tian Qingtian said to him.

It has been more than a month since Meng Xun came to the Cloud Cliff Sect, and these days, Meng Xun has been walking in the mountains with Lin Youyou in addition to practicing.

A month ago, the Cloud Cliff Sect recruited a new group of disciples, the number was not large, there were about thirty or so people, and three of them lit up the stone ball, but it was a pity that these three people died soon after each other.

However, the deaths of these three people did not cause a big sensation in the entire Cloud Cliff Sect, and the explanation given by Tian Qingtian was that the three of them had a problem in their practice, and they went mad and fell into demons, resulting in broken tendons and veins.

Today, Meng Xun got up early in the morning and went to Neishan to start practicing, and today he didn't see Lin Youyou for a week, of course, the main reason was that he didn't have time to practice until late at night every day, and he went to practice early the next morning.

"Senior Brother Meng got up so early today. ”

Greeting Meng Xun was the junior brother who lived next door, his name was Xu Fan, he had just entered the Cloud Cliff Sect a month ago, and his talent was good before he was arranged next door to Meng Xun by the Cloud Cliff Sect.

"Hmm!" Meng Xun was still not good at dealing with people, so he just nodded in response to Xu Fan.

"Senior brother, slow down, junior brother has something to say to you!" After saying that, Xu Fan looked around and saw that no one invited Meng Xun to the room.

Meng Xun had the heart to refuse, but seeing Xu Fan's serious expression, he was embarrassed to refuse, maybe he really had something to discuss.

"Senior Brother Meng hasn't seen Senior Sister Lin for almost a week. ”

Xu Fan poured Meng Xun a cup of tea, Meng Xun said thank you, only took it, took a symbolic sip and put it down.

"It's true that I haven't seen Yu Yu for a week, and I'm ...... this week"

Before he could even say the word 'busy', he was interrupted by Xu Fan.

"Senior brother, you usually have a lot of fears about my teaching, and I am very grateful to you. As a junior brother, I don't want to hide it. Even if you are busy practicing, doesn't Senior Sister Lin have time to look at you?" Xu Fan's words exploded in Meng Xun's head like thunder, and he was a little panicked, even more panicked than when he first encountered the demon beast.

"Maybe she's been in retreat recently!" Meng Xun's voice was so light that he was about to disappear, so faint that almost no one believed his words.

"The day before yesterday, I bumped into Senior Sister Lin and Senior Brother Tian in the inner mountains, and I didn't dare to say anything at that time to suspect that Senior Sister Lin was forced by Senior Brother Tian, after all, Senior Brother Tian's reputation is not very good, so I didn't tell you at that time, I knew that last night, I saw Senior Sister Lin take the initiative to find Senior Brother Tian, and I knew that things were not what I thought.

Senior brother, don't refute it yet, if you don't believe it, you can go to Senior Brother Tian's residence now, presumably they haven't gotten up yet. ”

Xu Fan's words were firm, but the more determined he was, the greater the blow to Meng Xun.

Lin Youyou's smile resurfaced in Meng Xun's mind again, and then Lin Youyou's graceful acknowledgment under Tian Lin's body resurfaced, bloodshot all over his eyes.

"Tian Lin!"

Meng Xun roared angrily and broke through the door, ignoring Xu Fan's obstruction and went straight to Tian Lin's residence.

In the early morning, the entire Cloud Cliff Sect hadn't woken up yet, so don't be woken up by Meng Xun's roar.

Tian Lin's residence.

Meng Xun stood outside the door, his eyes staring at the swaying shadows in the room, panting like a cow. He broke into the door directly, just in time to see Lin Youyou climb up the window and prepare to jump out of the window to leave.

At this moment, the entire Cloud Cliff Sect had already spread, and Xu Fan saw that he couldn't stop Meng Xun, for fear that Meng Xun would suffer under Tian Lin's hands, so he went directly to see Tian Qingtian, hoping that Tian Qingtian could stop Meng Xun.

But Tian Qingtian just said lightly: "Don't worry, with Meng Xun's current strength, he is not afraid of Lin'er at all, and it is really good to take this time to see who will become the next sect master of the Cloud Cliff Sect between the two of them in the future." ”

Xu Fan was shocked and wanted to continue to persuade Tian Qingtian, but was knocked over by Tian Qingtian with a palm.

"Don't think that I don't know what you have done, if it weren't for you being on the side, Lin Youyou would have gotten into Lin'er's bed? Otherwise, sooner or later, it will be destroyed in the hands of Lin Youyou, an ambitious woman. ”

Xu Fan knelt on the ground, his face was full of shock, he thought that Tian Lin was Tian Qingtian's son, and Tian Qingtian would at least protect Tian Lin, but he didn't expect Tian Qingtian to pay more attention to Meng Xun than to his own son.

His wishful thinking was completely useless, but he helped Meng Xun, but he was unwilling, "But the master, now Meng Xun is angry, if Tian Linshao is not Meng Xun's opponent, maybe he will be abolished by Meng Xun." ”

"Hmph, don't worry, Lin Youyou won't let Meng Xun abolish Tian Lin, she is a smart woman. ”

......

......

In Tian Lin's residence, Lin Youyou hugged Meng Xun's slightly thick waist with tears in his eyes and cried: "Brother Xun, even if Youyou begs you, let Tian Lin go." ”

"Youyou, he ...... you like this" Meng Xun grabbed Tian Lin's clothes, and his punch was already raised, but he was stopped by Lin Youyou.

"Tian Lin is the son of the head, if you kill him, we will all die. Lin Youyou cried into tears, and the pear blossoms brought rain to make people pity.

"Hahaha, Meng Xun heard it! If you kill me, not only will you have to accompany me to the funeral, but even your woman will have to accompany me to the funeral!" Tian Lin laughed, very crazy.

was violently beaten by Meng Xun in front of so many senior brothers, his face was lost, from the initial fear to the current madness, at this moment Tian Lin has gradually distorted.

"You...... You guys!"

Now that Meng Xun is no longer the wild boy in the mountain village of the past, how can he not hear the off-string sound of Lin Youyou and Tian Lin.

He pushed Lin Youyou away, punched Tian Lin in the face hard, knocked him unconscious, and then left angrily without looking at the two of them!

This matter made a big fuss, Meng Xun is now the senior brother of the Cloud Cliff Sect, and Tian Qingtian has personally taught him several times, making his status in the Cloud Cliff Sect almost catch up with Tian Lin.

But the two fought for Lin Youyou, everyone knew that Lin Youyou was Meng Xun's fiancΓ©e, but in the end she was slept by Tian Lin.

At night, Meng Xun lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, his eyes were bloodshot and he hadn't slept for several days.

Lin Youyou has come to look for him these days, but he has turned him away.

Tonight, the knock on the door sounded again, and Meng Xun said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you!

"It's me Xun'er!" Tian Qingtian's old voice rang out.

"Master!" Meng Xun was a little surprised, in fact, he was still a little resentful of Tian Qingtian, after all, Tian Lin was his son.

Meng Xun opened them and looked at Tian Qingtian under the moonlight who seemed to have aged a lot, "Master, I ...... it"

"Go in and say!" Tian Qingtian's voice was very light, but he couldn't refuse.

Meng Xun invited Tian Qingtian to come in, and before he could speak, Tian Qingtian said, "Actually, I already knew everything about this matter. Actually, here's what happened......"

Listening to Tian Qingtian's story, Meng Xun realized that he was so angry that he slapped the pear wood table into slag, "Master, where is Xu Fanren?"

"I have long been expelled from the mountain gate, and such a vicious person cannot be kept!"

It turned out that Xu Fan planned all this behind his back, Xu Fan knew that Tian Lin had always coveted Lin Youyou and hindered Meng Xun, and Lin Youyou was very ambitious, so he learned from the princess to match Lin Youyou and Tian Lin, and what happened after the dry firewood met the fire is needless to say.

"Xun'er, you have the posture of becoming an immortal, and at that time, the teacher advised you to cut off the mortal dust and concentrate on cultivation, but you just refused to give up Lin Youyou. Now that you're fine, you know how hard it is to be a teacher. Tian Qingtian sighed, quite helpless.

"Master...... Don't talk about it!" Meng Xun clutched his chest, blood spurted out of his mouth, and his eyes went black.

Seeing this, Tian Qingtian immediately helped Meng Xun up, put his palm on Meng Xun's back, and conveyed aura for him, "Eh, this kid...... Originally, he was not stupid, but he had already noticed the relationship between Lin Youyou and Lin'er, and began to cultivate the Pure Heart Technique. It's a pity that looking at the flow of aura in the dantian, it is estimated that he has only been cultivating for a few days.

But don't worry, the old man still has time. ”

After settling Meng Xun, Tian Qingtian's face gradually turned cold, and he waved his sleeves and said, "Come out!"

"Dad!" Tian Lin walked out of the darkness, his eyebrows lowered and his emotions gentle.

"Hmph, do some dirty things all day long, if you weren't for the old man's own son, Lao Tzu would have slapped you to death a long time ago, and the province would continue to ruin my reputation!" Tian Qingtian looked angry and glanced at Tian Lin and left.

"If Meng Xun has any three longs and two shorts, even if you are my son, I will abolish you!" Before leaving, Tian Qingtian's voice floated to Tian Lin's ears, making Tian Lin's body stiff and motionless, and finally gave up pushing the door open, dispelling the idea of taking the opportunity to kill Meng Xun.

However, how could Tian Lin give up such a good opportunity, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought about it, and wrote a note in Lin Youyou's tone and left it at the head of Meng Xun's bed, and left away.
