Chapter 15 Extraneous Branches
Dong Junqin sat bored in the front hall, listening to the greetings from all parties. Some of these people he knew, some he had never seen or even heard of.
However, in their mouths, they all have a deep friendship with Tianqing and Baiyuan Immortals.
Dong Junqin laughed at them in his heart for being stupid, what kind of relationship do they have to do with the people of the Ministry of Rites and Changshengtai, and they are not afraid that they will use the topic to play in the future?
After sitting like this for more than half an hour, Dong Junqin suddenly heard Mu Baofeng's heart: "Ah Jun, why did Ling Yan come to Wangkong Trench?"
Dong Junqin raised his head and opened his eyes suddenly. At this time, Elder Qinghuan was taking Ling Xiao to mingle with everyone present. Ling Yan was indeed not in the house, and Ling He had come back at some point, and was desperately glaring at Dong Junqin.
If he wants to leave the palace, he must go through his father, and then Lord Lin. How did he leave quietly in such a situation?
When he was struggling, the front hall suddenly became much quieter. Some cultivated people are looking around vigilantly with their heads straightened. And those who have not cultivated slowly quieted down when they see others like this.
The three elders obviously didn't think something was right, they walked to the door and said to Ling He, "What's the matter?"
Before Ling He could speak, a powerful spiritual power enveloped the periphery of the front hall, and even though there was an enchantment in the front hall, the people inside still felt oppressed.
And this oppression, Dong Junqin seems to be familiar.
Aru's brother got into a fight with someone.
Thinking of this, Dong Junqin took advantage of everyone's distraction and jumped to Ling He's side to ask, but before Ling He could answer, he heard a loud sound of iron weapons fighting.
The three elders almost rushed out of the front hall, and Ling Xiao told Ling He to take care of the people in the front hall and left in a hurry.
However, there were not many people in the front hall, and the people in the front hall ran out of the front hall regardless of the danger as soon as they were instigated by Lord Lin and Lu Que Zhenren.
Dong Junqin secretly felt bad, and went out together behind people.
When they arrived at the square, everyone saw Ling Yan fighting with a strong man wielding a giant hammer in the sky above the disciple's courtyard not far from the main peak. This is where powerful oppression comes from.
As the two of them gradually approached the square, every swing of the giant hammer emitted an evil aura, which was quite harmful to Ling Yan's sword qi.
The three elders did not step forward to help in the battle, but anxiously set up a formation to cast an enchantment, which showed the strength of the aura.
Just as the enchantment ring was about to close, Ling Xiao appeared beside Ling Yan.
Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, but Ling Xiao said to the strong man: "Who are you? Why are you in the sky, why are you following me?"
The strong man paused when he heard this, and then Ling Yan took out something from his arms: "When I found him, he was looking for this in your house." ”
Dong Junqin opened the eye of heaven and saw that it was a bone flute. No, it should be one, a complete bone flute similar to the one in Aru. And there is a "flag" engraved on it.
In the enchantment, the strong man immediately turned red when he saw the object, and shouted, "Give it back to me!"
Looking at his expression, he looked like a child who had his favorite food snatched away. But what didn't match the child's look was his hammer.
Ling Xiao and Ling Yan made moves at the same time, and the two moves merged into a formation, and they went towards the strong man. Strong men have no talent, and they rely on brute force to recruit without any rules. You can't be hurt, but you can't heal others.
Seeing that he had fallen into a disadvantage, the strong man said angrily: "Two to one, what kind of gentleman!"
The sword qi in Ling Yan's hand had already been completed, but it was pressed down by Ling Xiao, as if he was worried: "This thing was left by a close friend before his death, I don't know why you want to go?"
As soon as these words came out, the strong man was stunned and whispered: "Before death...... ...... before his death"
The strong man gradually lowered his hand, as if in pain. Seeing this, Ling Xiao seemed to relent, so he took a few steps closer.
"Senior brother, beware!" Ling Yan sensed that something was wrong, but it was too late.
The strong man's right hand, which had never come out, punched Ling Xiao in the abdomen. Ling Xiao vomited blood on the spot, but fortunately, Ling Yan quickly swung his sword with his hand, and then hugged Ling Xiao and took a few steps back.
The situation changed, Dong Junqin felt that the evil spirit was even worse, and the elders below also showed nervousness.
The strong man had completely lost his self-control, and shouted at Ling Xiao: "You killed him! You killed him! You killed Ah Qi! Kill people to pay for your life! I want you to pay for your life!"
The hammer left the strong man's hand, as if it had eyes, and followed closely no matter how Ling Yan Ling Xiao moved.
Dong Junqin said in his heart: It can't go on like this. Aside from the physical strength of the two senior brothers, this strong man alone may be devoured by the evil demon if he continues like this.
So Dong Junqin heard again and found Mu Baofeng, who was looking at the empty moat and trying to help Ah Lu untie the enchantment set up by Ling Yan.
The barrier set by Ling Yan was not easy to break, and it took a while for Mu Baofeng to appear in the inner square with the bound Ah Lu.
Ah Lu looked at the situation and shouted to the three above: "Give him back the bone flute! He is Cheng Qi's brother! Give it back to him!"
mentioned Cheng Qi, Ling Yan paused. Then he turned from attack to defense, and retreated again and again.
Ling Xiao was hidden behind him, his expression was a little painful, and he frowned silently.
Dong Junqin continued to say in his heart: "There is a problem with his right hand! Evil qi enters his body from his right hand! Quickly ask Ah Lu if there is a way!"
After Mu Baofeng relayed it, Ah Lu said: "I have a way to wait until now, and I can't cut off his hands!"
Who knew that Dong Junqin heard it and felt that it was a method.
Mu Baofeng was shocked: "Even Ling Yan only defends and doesn't attack, but you want to cut off his hand?"
Dong Junqin said: "His evil spirit is too heavy, if he continues like this, not only Senior Brother Ling Xiao and Senior Brother Ling Yan will be trapped in it, but he himself will be eaten by the evil demons." Cut off his hands and cut off his limbs to remove evil spirits alone. As long as I protect the veins and severed limbs, I can take them back. ”
Mu Baofeng had never done this, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you sure?"
Dong Junqin said: "I'm sure." If he fails, I will compensate him. ”
With that, Mu Baofeng relayed his heart voice to Ling Yan again.
Inside the enchantment, Ling Yan frowned. He didn't discuss it with Ling Xiao, he just glanced at Dong Junqin, and after getting a nod, he raised his sword and pointed at the strong man: "Offended." ”
Ling Xiao was let go, and the strong man was immediately attracted to it. Ling Yan jumped up and kicked the hammer sideways at the strong man's right hand.
The right hand is blocked and retracted, and when the left hand catches the hammer, it is extended again.
Ling Yan said at this time: "Senior brother, hold on!"
Ling Xiao responded with his arms around his chest against the strong man's right fist. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the silver sword spun quickly and fiercely on the straight right wrist.
In an instant, the evil spirit suddenly lost, and the hammer smashed into the ground, leaving a pit. The strong man watched his right hand fall from under his arm, blood splashed on Ling Xiao's face, and then he screamed heartbreakingly.
Ling Xiao was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to protect his muscles: "Ling Yan, you!"
The barrier was withdrawn, and Ling Yan quickly picked up the fallen severed limb and handed it to the elders. Elder Qingcheng immediately set up a formation to eliminate the evil.
Ling Yan returned to Ling Xiao's side, ignoring his angry glare, and stopped the strong man's bleeding.
At this time, Lord Lin, who had been watching the play, stepped forward and said, "What is the situation?
Ling Xiao has a high reputation in the rivers and lakes, and he has never sought revenge.
Elder Qinghuan came forward to explain: "This person has an evil spirit, and you have also felt it. It's about evil, delirious. ”
"Really?" Master Lin was puzzled, "What they just said in a high place, I can't hear it clearly as a mortal." But the real man said that this strong man came to get some flute back. ”
Elder Qinghuan replied, "Yes." However, there is a demonic aura in this thing, and Ling Xiao brought it back to Azure to get rid of the demon, but it has not yet been done. ”
Lord Lin continued, "Oh. Then he said that Daoist Ling Xiao killed someone, could it be an evil demon and demon?"
Elder Qinghuan paused.
Master Lin didn't wait for him to answer, turned to Ah Lu and asked, "Hey, by the way, who is this kidnapped girl? Accomplice? She just said that this person is Cheng Qi's brother? Who is Cheng Qi?"
Whether it is Cheng Qi or the bone flute, Dong Junqin has never heard of it or seen it, and this matter must be relatively private. Now that it has been opened in front of so many people, it is estimated that it is difficult to prevaricate.
Just as Elder Qinghuan was about to speak, Ling Xiao on the side stepped forward: "Cheng Qi is a friend of mine. ”
Seeing this, Elder Qinghuan frowned: "Ling Xiao ......"
"Elder, this matter has been bothering me for many years, maybe it's time to talk about it. Ling Xiao took a deep breath and said, "The battle to destroy the snake three years ago was not my own work. It was Cheng Qi and I who worked together to do it. ”
Hearing this, there was an uproar around: "Cheng Qi, who is it, which sect and which faction?"
Ling Xiao said: "Cheng Qi is self-taught, and he is not famous in the rivers and lakes. I met him by chance during our travels. Before slaying the demon, I asked him for help. But then...... He was controlled by the basilism to enter the village...... I...... I...... I killed him for ......."
Ling Xiao's words made the scene fall silent. This is not difficult to understand, just like Dong Junqin's proposal to cut off the strong man's right hand, in order to stop the loss in time to avoid more casualties, he will indeed abandon his companions who have been controlled by the monster and are difficult to recover.
But the bad thing about this matter is that Ling Xiao didn't say it back then, and because of the honor of fighting the snake demon alone to eliminate harm for the people, he compared his peers and even elders from other sects. Now that the matter has been made public in this way, the fluctuations in the emotions of the individual are probably far greater than the reversal of the matter itself.
Now that the dead silence has passed, there is a lot of talk in the square. The believers, the unbelievers, the happy, the angry, the sarcastic, the abusive, not surprising.
Elder Qinghuan didn't do much maintenance, just shook his head helplessly. Ling Xiao's eyes were calm, and he said to Lord Lin: "The elders and other disciples of my sect don't know the whole picture of this matter, and now that they have caused such a big mess, I ask my lord to ask His Highness to apologize on my behalf." ”
Lord Lin's tone was relaxed: "The holy decree has the word 'sincerity'. Although it was late, Daoist Ling Xiao was willing to be open and honest today, and he was sincere. His Royal Highness is benevolent and will not be blamed. ”
After speaking, Ling Xiao ignored the rumors around him and saluted and turned back.
After Ling Yan returned to the strong man, he said, "You have to take him to the Yinyang Cave for treatment as soon as possible." ”
At this time, Lord Lin suddenly stepped forward: "Wait a minute, this strong man's matter is understood." But what about this girl?"
Lord Lin was puzzled, and the people around him were also puzzled, but Dong Junqin was no longer confused in the crowd.
