If the Qifeng Pagoda is the most lively event in the Azure Realm, then the second day after the stairing is about to be deserted after the festival.

When Ah Lu and Nanqin got up, Ling Xiao stood at the door.

Ah Lu didn't expect to meet Ling Xiao coldly, and said quite embarrassedly: "That, Senior Brother Ling Xiao is early, why are you here?"

Couldn't it be that she was waiting for her?

Ling Xiao saw the two of them and saluted: "The two girls are early, Ah Jun went to the March Pond early in the morning, and took the two of them to the main peak first when the time came." ”

Nanqin is naturally nothing, but Alu is all the way to talk and stop.

Ling Xiao is also an experienced person, and after observing his words and feelings, he took the initiative to provoke the conversation: "Miss Alu, you and Ah Jun have been together since you sent Cheng Xiao back?"

Ah Lu paused for a few seconds and replied: "It's not all the time, but I met it again later, so we came to Azure together." ”

Ling Xiao: "I see, what happened to Cheng Xuan?"

Alu: "He's fine, it's okay." ”

Ling Xiao: "That's good. ”

Ah Lu hesitated for a long time, but decided to ask Ling Xiao about his current situation: "That Senior Brother Ling Xiao, you didn't participate in the Qifeng Tower Grading this year...... It's ......"

Ling Xiao chuckled: "Don't think about it, Cheng Xuan's incident is my own fault." If I blame you for this, I am not worthy of being a disciple of Tianqing. As for not participating in the Qifeng Tower, it was because he was unwell. ”

Rutsu: "Not feeling well?"

Ling Xiao: "I used too many methods to revive Cheng Qi's soul before. I'm ashamed to say that some of these formations are not the right path, so I suffered a backlash, and I haven't healed yet. ”

Ah Lu was surprised: "You haven't been cured, so your elders didn't look at it for you?"

Ling Xiao: "I've seen it, but the elders can't help it, and the Xuanqing Immortals are ...... It's gone. So it happened that Ah Jun was going up the mountain, and I originally wanted to see him for treatment today. But in the morning, seeing that he looked in a hurry, let's wait. ”

Nanqin: "Your elders can't help it, will he Dong Junqin have a way?"

Ling Xiao said with a smile: "Miss Nan, the doctors from our Azure Realm are very strong. If it is better than internal strength, I may not be able to defeat him. ”

The two were shocked, although they knew that Dong Junqin was not weak, but they didn't expect to hear such an evaluation from Ling Xiao's mouth.

Ling Xiao: "Most of the Xianmen physicians who treat monks use their own spiritual power to enter the patient's body, open up the meridians for them, make blood and generate bones, and dispel evil spirits and remove stasis. To do this, the physician's own internal force must be above the patient. I remember one time, we and the Taoist leaders of Xuanshan were in Qinzhou to exorcise ghosts. That old ghost is very powerful, and we have suffered heavy casualties. Later, I sent a signal back to Tianqing to ask for support, and the Xuanqing Immortals sent Ah Jun to follow Ling Yan. Five days later, the old ghost was finally sealed. And Ah Jun didn't eat or sleep for these five days, and kept healing people and then sending them back to the battlefield. ”

Ah Lu had never seen this kind of scene with his own eyes, and it was unimaginable, so he could only say: "It sounds very powerful." ”

However, Nanqin experienced a fierce battle, and the situation at that time can be imagined: "I didn't eat or sleep for five days, and I have been healing the injured? Besides, it's an exorcism injury, so it's going to be quite difficult to get it!"

Ling Xiao nodded: "That's why I said he was very strong." It's just that you can't practice swords, formations, arts, and runes. ”

Before Ah Lu thought about it, he felt that something was wrong: "But I see him often ......"

Ling Xiao knew what Ah Lu was puzzled about, so he put his finger to his lips: "Shhh, don't tell others." ”

The two of them sweated, but they didn't expect Dong Junqin to have such a dark side.

However, when it came to Ling Yan, Ah Lu asked again: "That, Senior Brother Ling Xiao, we heard that you and Senior Brother Ling Yan ...... Bad relationship?"

Hearing this, Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Which mouthy person is guessing nonsense?"

Alyu: "It's just that everyone thinks you don't have a good relationship. You keep talking about each other's shortcomings in front of each other. ”

"That's right, but isn't it because of a good relationship that you can talk about each other's shortcomings without any scruples?" Ling Xiao said, "Ling Yan, I am the only person in this world who can be trusted unconditionally and completely except for my parents. ”

Ah Lu was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's how I refuted them last time! I said that only people who have a bad relationship will be polite to each other, and people who have a good relationship can be outspoken!"

Ling Xiao: "Who the hell keeps saying that?"

Ah Lu: "I don't know, even your own people in the Azure Realm think so." Last time, I heard Mu Jifeng say that your Senior Brother Ling He was very dissatisfied with the fact that Senior Brother Ling Yan replaced you as the successor to the head, and he also said that Cheng Yan's incident...... The timing of the incident was too coincidental, could it be that Senior Brother Ling Yan did it on purpose, in order to compete for the position of the head of the house. ”

Ling Xiao: "Ling He?"

Ah Lu nodded, Ling Xiao thought for a while, and then smiled: "Misunderstanding." Ling Yan and I were disciples at the same time, and we also formally apprenticed together, so we have been close since we were children. Ling Yan's temperament, although strict, is a mother in the final analysis. usually reprimands his younger brothers and sisters, and when something happens, he wipes his butt behind him.

As for the successor leader, I was telling the truth last time in the Yinyang Cave. My wish since I was a child was to learn the ability to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits. But to be the master of a door, I have to spend all my energy on all kinds of rules and regulations, or I have to contact with various sects and factions, which is really against my ambition. So I never wanted to succeed me.

And what was said outside that Ling Yan and I were fighting each other was just confusion from the elders. The fear is that once the successor is confirmed, someone will trouble him. As Ling He said, Cheng Li's incident happened too coincidentally. ”

But if this is the case, why would the Azure Realm itself have such a big misunderstanding?

Ling Xiao was also a little puzzled by this: "Maybe I didn't explain it clearly enough, I thought everyone could see it." I didn't expect my own people to see it, Miss Alu, you are sharp-eyed. ”

After receiving the compliment, Ah Lu's ears turned red in embarrassment. But no matter what, after Ling Xiao said this, the guilt in Ah Lu's heart was reduced a lot.

When the three of them came to the main peak, Dong Junqin and Mu Baofeng had already arrived. It was the first time for Nanqin to see Mu Luofeng wearing light-colored clothes, so he came up to look left and right in a novel way.

Mu Baofeng: "Sister Nan, pay attention, there are so many people, it's not good for you to stare at me at a girl's house?"

Nanqin ignored him: "What's wrong, I'm disfigured anyway, who can recognize it." However, I think you still look good in dark clothes, and you don't deserve the moon white. ”

The corners of Mu Baofeng's mouth twitched, and he wanted to ask Dong Junqin for help. But when he turned around, he saw no one else.

Nanqin: "Don't look for it, let's talk to you Senior Brother Lingxiao." ”

Mu Baofeng sighed, talked nonsense with Nanqin for a while, and then returned to his senior brothers.

Alu: "Nanqin, isn't it suitable for you demon people to wear light colors?"

Nanqin: "Of course, this kind of clothes are only good for people with fairy wind bones, and we demons like bright colors." ”

The two waited boredly on the sidelines for the graduation ceremony and succession ceremony. Suddenly, a little disciple ran over and said to the two, "Excuse me, which one is Miss Nanqin?"

Nanqin pointed to himself, and the little disciple said again: "Senior Brother Dong, please go for a trip." ”

Following the little disciple's point, Nanqin saw a pavilion.

The little disciple didn't know exactly what happened, he only knew that it was about Ling Xiao, and it was quite serious. Aryu was not invited and was left outside. After Nanqin followed him into the Azure Pavilion, he saw Ling Xiao sitting in the center of a formation, surrounded by the three elders of Azure and Dong Junqin, who seemed to be performing some ritual.

Dong Junqin heard this, opened his eyes, beckoned Nanqin over, and formally introduced her to the three elders.

The three elders had doubts about Nanqin's identity before, and now with a few hints from Dong Junqin, they determined that Nanqin was not of the same clan.

Although she was a little reluctant, the three elders still politely invited her to sit down: "Ling Feng's matter, I thanked Miss Nan first. But I invited you here today because I want to trouble you to take a look at Ling Xiao. ”

Nanqin was puzzled, she looked at Dong Junqin: "Even you can't help it?"

Dong Junqin shook his head: "It's not that I can't help it, but I think it's a little strange, I want you to make sure." ”

Nanqin had a bad premonition in her heart: "What are you sure about?"

Dong Junqin: "Let's be sure, is the power of the backlash in Senior Brother Ling Xiao's body the demonic qi of the demon clan?"

Nanqin listened to the words and put his hand on Ling Xiao's chest according to Dong Junqin's instructions.

After a while, Nanqin's brows furrowed, and then nodded at Dong Junqin.

Dong Junqin: "Senior brother, what soul restoration arrays did you use at that time?"

Ling Xiao had tried dozens of formation techniques, and he really didn't remember that formation technique could attract demonic energy. But Nanqin listened to him describe them one by one, and suddenly interrupted: "Wait a minute, you just said that there is a formation technique, put things in water, and then keep heating and cooling?"

Ling Xiao nodded: "The real formation technique is to stimulate the soul to awaken. Any questions?"

Nanqin opened his mouth and thought for a while: "The demon clan has a spell called the Soul Possession Array, which uses a method similar to this alternating hot and cold. However, his purpose is not to stimulate the soul to awaken, but to make the soul suffer, so that it will have a strong desire for liberation, so that the evil spirit can take advantage of the danger of others and attach its evil energy to the trapped soul. After that, once the soul is unsealed, the demon will be reborn with the soul. This is a forbidden technique of the demon race, and the soul that is possessed by the soul will eventually be completely devoured by the demon. Moreover, this spell is dangerous, and the caster is easily counterattacked. To put it simply, the result is that trapped souls and spellcasters will be devoured by reincarnated demons. Who told you about this spell?"

Everyone didn't expect this result, but what was even more terrifying was that Ling Xiao said: "This spell is not the one who told me about the rivers and lakes, but the one I saw in the Tianshu Tower." ”

Everyone: "Tianshulou in the Azure Realm?!"

Everyone looked at each other, especially the three elders, whose faces turned gray all of a sudden.

In the middle of the sound, Elder Qinghuan asked, "Miss Nan, if this is the case, is there a way to save the caster's backlash?"

Nanqin shook his head: "As far as I know, there is no immediate way, you can only pay attention to it on weekdays and recover little by little." And it's best not to be greatly stimulated, otherwise it may lead evil spirits into the gods. ”

Dong Junqin took a deep breath when he heard this, and said, "Senior Brother Ling Xiao, during this time, you should rest more." We have only protected most of the spiritual veins, and the evil qi should not go from those places again. ”

Ling Xiao nodded.

The three elders got up: "Ah Jun, Miss Nan, please keep this matter secret!"

The two nodded.
