There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the years are near.

Eight years of time is like a white horse passing by, and the days of cultivation in the Kunlun Mountains, day after day, year after year, are so monotonous and boring, without much waves.

One night, in the middle of the moon, the disciples of the Jingting faction had already rested.

However, the two real people who lived in Songxikou had not yet rested, and they all gathered in the study to discuss the things in the sect and some miscellaneous matters.

At this time, a dark shadow hurried past the mansion where the two real people lived, and Daoying Zhenren immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly signaled Dao and the real person to silence.

Who could it be at such a late hour?

Friend?

Enemy?

Both real people were puzzled.

The dark shadow came to the door of the study, picked up the knocker with difficulty, and buckled the door.

"咣~~咣~~"

The knock at the door was slow, like that of an old man in the twilight.

This made the two people in the room feel strange, this black shadow actually knocked on the door, could it be a friend?

"Who?"

Doyoung asked vigilantly.

"Ahem, ahem... I. ”

The shadow seemed to be badly injured, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help coughing. There was a hoarse and vicissitudes sound, much like the sound of a heavy metal weapon being dragged on the ground because it couldn't be lifted.

But even if the sound is like this, it can still be discerned.

Hearing the voice, Dao and Zhenren knew that it was an old man, so he immediately got up and walked quickly to the door of the study to open the door.

But as soon as I walked to the door, I smelled a vague fragrance of plum blossoms, and I secretly said something bad in my heart.

The hand that was about to touch the deadbolt of the door paused again, and glanced back at Daoying Zhenren, his eyes full of worry.

When Daoying Zhenren received such a worried look, he secretly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he still signaled Dao and Zhenren to open the door to welcome people.

Dao and Zhenren opened the door, and a face as pale as a dead man suddenly appeared in front of him.

This black shadow turned out to be Qu Laojiu!

According to common sense, if Qu Laojiu wants to come to them, he can come in openly, even if not as a disciple of the Jingting Sect.

Why wear a night outfit?

Or in the dead of night?

Could it be that something is important?

Got an accident?

Seeing that the person who came was Qu Laojiu, Daoying Zhenren knew that something big had happened. immediately greeted him, and helped Qu Laojiu into the house with Dao and Zhenren. But the fragrance of plum blossoms became more and more intense because of getting closer, which made people frown.

At the same time, Dao and Zhenren cautiously looked to see if anyone had noticed, and finally closed the door tightly.

"Lao Jiu, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at Qu Laojiu's appearance, Daoying Zhenren, who was holding Qu Laojiu, hurriedly asked.

However, before he had taken a few steps, Qu Laojiu had no strength, and suddenly poured all his weight on Daoying Zhenren's body.

As a result, both of them did not have time to stand up and fell to the ground together.

"Senior brother in charge, I'm dying. ”

Qu Laojiu spoke with great difficulty.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Seeing Qu Laojiu's struggling appearance, Daoying Zhenren was anxious and shook Qu Laojiu fiercely.

"I'm in... Hit... Plum blossom...... Seven Hearts Nail of Death..."

Qu Laojiu said his tricks intermittently.

What the?!

Plum Blossom Seven Hearts Nail !!

Daoying Zhenren was secretly frightened, and his face immediately turned gray.

This plum blossom seven-heart nail is a unique secret weapon of the Rong faction, how did Lao Jiu get hit by this kind of poisonous nail? took Qu Laojiu's arm, checked the pulse, and scared Daoying Zhenren a little, and waved Qu Laojiu's hand away.

Oh, my God!

It's been less than two hours since the nail was hit!

The toxin has already invaded the heart!

I'm afraid it's already a lack of skills...

This unique secret weapon of the Rong Rong faction is really powerful!

However, what exactly did Qu Laojiu offend the Rongjiao faction? How could he be so poisoned? Could it be that Lao Jiu discovered something? And what he discovered was what the Rongrong faction wanted to get, so it was so ruthless? Could it be...?

Thinking of this, a trace of panic flashed in Daoying Zhenren's eyes.

"Lao Jiu, how could you offend the people of the Rong Rong Sect?"

Although Daoying Zhenren already secretly has a plan in his heart, he still wants to know the reason.

"Senior brother, I... I... Ugh!"

Before he finished speaking, Qu Laojiu had already lost his breath.

"Huo Yundu, you wake me up! You wake me up!"

Daoying Zhenren saw Qu Laojiu breathing in his arms, and his eyes were split in an instant, and he burst into tears, crying and grabbing the ground.

"Senior brother, you mourn!"

Dao and Zhenren knew that Daoying Zhenren at this moment could not let go of Qu Laojiu's death at all. Qu Laojiu is the youngest of their brothers, and he is also the closest brother to Daoying Zhenren, and he is like a brother.

However, now Qu Laojiu died suddenly, and he was still in the arms of Daoying Zhenren.

How can you let Daoying real people be relieved?

And the reason is unknown, which is really ......

Daoying Zhenren trembled and opened Qu Laojiu's clothes, and the scars left on Qu Laojiu's body by the Plum Blossom Seven Hearts Desperate Nail appeared in front of Daoying Zhenren like that. This made Daoying Zhenren even more unacceptable, and pounced on Qu Laojiu's body, crying bitterly, and his liver and intestines were broken......

Plum blossom seven hearts nail, this is the unique secret weapon of the Rong faction. This nail is not another nail, it is a hidden weapon used to fire, it is not a nail made of metal, but the petals of plum blossoms. This petal has a special poison left on it, which can quickly invade the heart of the nailed, and because of this, almost no one who is nailed survives.

The nail consists of seven poisoned plum petals, and the shooter must aim at the nailed person's mid-point point and send out the seven poisoned petals at the same time.

This nail will leave a black mark like a plum blossom on the nailer's acupoint, and the nail will also have the fragrance of plum blossoms.

What a trick that is both ruthless and feminine!

Xu was sad enough, and Daoying Zhenren finally stopped crying and straightened up, with tears still hanging on his face.

"Senior brother, let Lao Jiu have a good rest in Shangming Hall!"

Daoying said in a dejected manner.

"Senior brother, I'm afraid this won't work, right?"

Dao and Zhenren really don't want to let Daoying Zhenren's heart at this time, the old wound is not healed, and a new wound is added.

However, there is one thing that has to be mentioned!

Shangmingtang is a tall tower where everyone from the Jingting faction is buried, and according to the position of the sect before death, it is determined which layer of the tower is placed in it.

However, if they are not disciples of their own sect or disciples who have been expelled from the sect, they will not be placed.

"Why!"

Hearing Dao and Zhenren say no, Daoying Zhenren suddenly turned his head and stared at Dao and Zhenren tightly, his eyes were full of strong killing intent.

"Senior brother, aren't you confused? As early as forty years ago, the ninth junior brother at that time was so high-spirited that he insisted on leaving the sect and going down the mountain to return to the world. At that time, the master had crossed out the name of the junior brother from the "Jingting Genealogy", and since then, the junior disciple is no longer a member of the Jingting faction. In this way, how can you let your junior disciple sleep peacefully in Shangming Hall?"

Daohe Zhenren didn't want to mention the old things, which made Daoying Zhenren sad, but what he said was also the truth!

"That's... That... Let's make an exception! We are nine brothers and sisters, and the old nine are still like this, and now I am afraid that only you and I are left. If Lao Jiu is exposed to the wilderness, he will be alone in the Netherworld Mansion, how lonely he should be! If it is in Shang Ming Hall, maybe it won't be long before we can see Lao Jiu again and meet the other juniors, so that the nine of us can also be reunited. Senior brother, do you say yes?"

Daoying Zhenren knows that what Dao and Zhenren say is all the truth. But now, he is full of sadness, and he just wants to be able to use the privileges in the hands of the head of the house to satisfy his little selfishness.

"Oh well. ”

What else can Dao and Zhenren say when they see the heart-wrenching eyes of Dao Ying Zhenren?

"Don't alarm the deacon disciples of the Lotus Purity Pavilion who are the master of ceremonies in the sect, let you take care of it yourself. ”

Doyoung made a final order.

"Yes, junior brother is one step ahead and prepares for relevant matters. ”

The Tao and the real man made a shake.

"Go ahead. ”

Doyoung sighed.

After Dao and Zhenren received the order, they left, and at the end, they glanced at Qu Laojiu very affectionately and closed the door.

After all, he used to be a fellow junior disciple, so how could he not be sad when his junior brother suffered a tragedy?

After Dao and Zhenren walked away, Daoying Zhenren began to search for Qu Laojiu's body, which seemed to be a very important thing.

He didn't believe that Qu Laojiu would be hunted down and killed by the people of the Rongjiao faction inexplicably!

finally let Daoying Zhenren find it, and there was a hard, round guy hidden in Qu Laojiu's sleeves.

This discovery made Doyoung Zhenren immediately come to his senses.

Removing the sleeves, an emerald green jade carved bamboo tube immediately fell out.

Seeing this jade carved bamboo tube, Daoying Zhenren's eyes were full of ecstasy.

Vigilantly took the bamboo tube, put it in his arms, and then restored the sleeves, and after doing all this, Daoying Zhenren breathed a long sigh of relief.

The next day, before dawn, Daoying Zhenren and Daohe Zhenren found a place with no people, and after disposing of Qu Laojiu, they took Qu Laojiu's ashes and returned to Jingting Pai Shangming Hall to place them.

Since the interment, Daoying Zhenren has been silent. When he walked with Dao and Zhenren, he lived like a ball of walking dead, which inevitably made Dao and Zhenren a little worried.

"Senior brother, you..."

Dao and Zhenren said hesitantly.

“...”

Doyoung remained silent.

"Senior brother, don't be so sad about this matter. Human life, old age, sickness and death are the norm in the world, so why should we be so sad? What should I do if I am angry and my body is broken? The sect still needs you!"

Dao and Zhenren stopped Dao Ying Zhenren, who was still bowing his head and walking aimlessly, and opened his mouth to advise.

“... I'm old, but the sect doesn't need me anymore. Now that Jiang'er is here, isn't everything good?"

It seems that Doyoung Zhenren has aged several years in one night.

In the past, he was still an old man and a sect leader with ambitions of thousands of miles, but now he is no different from those ordinary old men who live in the streets and alleys, waiting for death to be approached.

Daoying Zhenren may really have no intention of theorizing with Dao and Zhenren, bypassing the obstruction of Dao and Zhenren and leaving.

For the next few days, no one saw Daoying Zhenren, and no one knew where he had gone.
