Chapter 35: The First Encounter at the Inn
Lethe River Valley, once a place that could not be forgotten, where it was connected to the sea of thunderclouds, was the only passage to Penglai, and then with the destruction of Penglai, it was gradually buried by time.
"That's true!" Wan Qian frowned, the Demon Sect had already taken the lead and guarded the only passage.
"They are here to break the seal of the sea of thunderclouds and enter Penglai from there!" Wan Ting said.
"Tonight, I'll go and investigate!" Wan Qian said.
"Senior brother, no!" Yuan Qi dissuaded, "Fa Xiang has already been there once last night, they will definitely be more vigilant, besides, we just came here, and we are not familiar with many things, so it is better to take a slow time!"
"It's precisely because Brother Fa Xiang has been there once before that they will relax and not think that someone will sneak in!" Wan Qian said.
Yuan Qi still shook his head: "If this is possible in normal times, but senior brother, have you ever thought about the things in Bodhi Village, especially that Ning disciple, according to my guess, if we come to Chiba City, they must know, and now that these people have arrived here before us, how can they not be defended!"
Hearing Yuan Qi's analysis, Wan Qian was a little hesitant.
"I think what Yuan Qi said is right, senior brother, why don't we get familiar with it first!" Wan Ting proposed.
"That's true, I didn't think about the matter of Bodhi Village, it's a little reckless!" Wan Qian said, "When is the best time?"
Yuan Qi thought for a while: "Breaking this kind of seal, the benefit of time must be indispensable, I think they have been entrenched there for so long, and the reason why they have not made a move is here, if we can know when they will do it, we may have a chance!"
"In terms of formation, we really don't know as well as you, so in your opinion, what should we do now?" Wan Qian knew that Yuan Qi's master was known as unprecedented in the formation lineage, so he didn't refute it.
"Senior brother, do you think this is okay, we first came here, Brother Fa Xiang was seriously injured again, rest for one night, and wait for tomorrow daylight, I will go to Lechuan Valley with you to observe, and then we will act when the opportunity comes!" Yuan Qi suggested.
"Amitabha, Lord Yuan is thoughtful, I agree with his statement!"
"Okay, then do it! Look, the food is cold, let's eat it!" Wan Qian said.
Qingcheng Mountain, dusk is ten o'clock, for Cangsong, an unforgettable experience has just happened, at this moment he is gray, his body is covered with dust and blood, as if he is deep in a quagmire and swamp.
Next to the Shangqing Palace, Yun Fan happened to see this scene, hurriedly stepped forward, and said in surprise: "Elder, what's wrong with you?"
When Cang Song heard this, he showed an extremely angry expression, and said fiercely: "The Demon Sect is despicable and shameless, and it actually set up a seven-killing array in Mangshan and killed many of our disciples, it's hateful!"
"Seven Killing Arrays!" Yun Fan said, "This Yin Evil Array hasn't appeared for more than ten years, I can't imagine that there are still people who know about it!"
"If I let me know who it is, I will definitely break him into pieces and avenge my disciple!" Cang Song gritted his teeth, his face was full of meat, he looked very hideous, looked at Yun Fan, and said, "I want to see the master, please report it!"
"Elder, the head of the sect just came back for a while, and then he took Senior Brother Fengluo down the mountain!" Yun Fan said.
"Going down the mountain, such a big thing happened, and he, the head of the house, is not in the door!" Cang Song said in surprise.
"Well, the head of the sect left in a hurry, saying that he was going to verify an important matter, and he would be back soon!" Yun Fan said, "Elder can go back first to appease the disciples who have returned, and when the head comes back, I will tell you!"
"That's it, I'll leave it to the Cloud Protector here!" Cang Song was very irritable, he brushed his sleeves and left, but muttered in his heart, "Where will he go?"
Late at night, in the Qianyu Inn, Yuan Qi was in the room, thinking back to what happened today, he always felt that there was something missing, tossing and turning, remembering Uncle Gu's goodbye to him, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and said to himself: "I don't know what kind of misunderstanding there is between Uncle Gu and the master, it can last for so long!" Even if he saw it with his own eyes, Yuan Qi still didn't believe that Uncle Gu would join the Demon Sect to do so many murders, maybe he also had something unspeakable!
Suddenly, a faint sound of the piano came from outside the door, the rhythm was soft, dreamlike, giving people a feeling of comfort, as if it could relieve the fatigue of the day.
"It's so late, who will play the piano?" Yuan Qi was puzzled, pushed open the door, looking for the sound of the piano.
In the aisle, Mo Li was neatly dressed and worried, and the elf fruit was flying around him, and everywhere he passed, it was like a meteor crossing a green color, I have to say that this pair was different on time.
"Master, what is there to worry about, you can go wherever you want, why ask them, it is enough for me to accompany you!"
"No, although I really want to, but Brother Yuan, they are doing a big thing, I can't bother them at this juncture, let's wait!" Mo Li shook his head.
"You can wait, it's grandma's 80th birthday in four days, grandma treats you so well on weekdays, you finally have the opportunity to go down the mountain, you can't live up to grandma!" Guoguo pouted.
"Alright, alright!" Mo Li said impatiently, "I know, I'll figure it out!"
Hearing this, Yuan Qi suddenly realized, no wonder Mo Li has always been absent-minded these days, it turned out that he was worried about his relatives.
"Sister, you haven't rested so late!" Yuan Qi appeared and came out.
"Ahh Why haven't you slept yet!" Mo Li was startled.
"I can't sleep, so I'll come out and take a walk!" Yuan Qi smiled.
Mo Li looked at his laughter, a little uncomfortable, and asked, "Did you hear it all?"
Yuan Qi nodded.
"Master, it's none of my business, he overheard it himself, I'll go back to sleep first!" Guoguo showed a sly smile, snorted deeply, and flew back to Mo Li's room, leaving Mo Li stomping his feet in place.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yuan, I know I shouldn't have told you this at this time, but I want to go home to see my grandmother, I haven't seen my grandmother for a year!" Mo Li's eyes were red when he thought of his grandmother.
Yuan Qi took out a handkerchief, handed it to her, and comforted: "Okay, don't cry, leave this matter to me, I'll tell you for you when I come back tomorrow!"
Mo Li said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Yuan!"
"Thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where to float now!" Yuan Qi stretched out his hand, gently scratched her nose, and comforted, "Don't cry!
"Mmmm! Grandma is the best person in the world, when she was young, she once went up the mountain to chop wood, found me, hugged me back, made me feel that I am the happiest person in the world, for so many years, because my adoptive father and adoptive mother have been childless, grandma treated me as a granddaughter, pampered and good!" Mo Li said in a low voice.
Yuan Qi sighed, he also remembered Uncle Gu, looking at Mo Li's grandmother, how similar the fates of the two were.
Mo Li saw that he was silent, and said: "In the past year, grandma's body has been worse day by day, do you remember the first time we met, in fact, that time I was looking for medicinal materials for grandma to cure diseases, and I entered the Qingcheng Gate to learn spells to treat grandma, but unfortunately I was too stupid, I checked the medical books and I didn't know how much, but I couldn't find a clue!"
"You have a heart!" Yuan Qi thought for a moment and asked softly, "Do you remember where grandma picked you up?"
"I don't know about this, but I heard my grandmother say that when she hugged me, I was covered in blood and dying, as if I was on a boat!" Mo said.
"On a boat!" Yuan Qi muttered, "there are traces of blood, did you float ashore from the sea?"
"At first, my grandmother thought so, but then she denied this answer and found out that my place was in the mountains!" Mo Li shook his head, "What kind of boat can float directly over the ground to the mountains without passing through the sea!"
Countless thoughts flashed through Yuan Qi's heart, and he felt that it might be necessary to go with Mo Li to have a look, so he asked, "Where is your home!"
"There is a Mojia Village a hundred miles north of the city gate, right there!" Mo Li stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, "Brother Yuan, what's wrong with you?"
"Shhh
Below, floating with black gauze, on the five-foot square guqin, flashing this pair of seductive hands, this is a woman, dressed in black gauze, although the face can not be seen clearly, but through the gauze, it can show its seductive figure.
"Hehe~~" The soft laughter came out, her hand was unambiguous, still emitting bursts of piano sound, a pair of bright big eyes through the gauze, flashing a golden light, and said faintly, "Rise with the sound, die with the sound, the son is so interested!"
"The sound is a good sound, but the song may not be a good song!" Yuan Qi said indifferently.
"Really, that boy knows that there are not many people in this world who can listen to my song!" The woman's voice was very light, and her left hand gently pinched a note, turning it into a sound wave and attacking Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi's eyes converged, pushed Mo Li away, and raised his fingers to cut the sound wave: "In this way, this piece is even more lingering!" I saw his two fingers together again, and his fingertips emitted a faint phantom, pointing at the layers of gauze, which was the Taixu finger.
"Hehe!" The woman smiled slightly, the too empty fingerprint was like a stone sinking into the sea, without a trace of waves, which shocked Yuan Qi, this woman was too unusual.
"Brother Yuan, I'm going to wake up Senior Brother Wan and them!" Mo Li also saw that something was wrong and said nervously.
"That's it!" The woman below seemed to hear Mo Li's words, with a mockery in her voice, she snorted lightly and said, "It's really a disappointment, it's here tonight, we'll have a meeting later!"
The black gauze wrapped around the woman and sped away.
"Amitabha!" A Buddha voice sounded, and the Fa Xiang walked out of the door at some point, exuding a golden Buddha light all over his body, and raised his hand is a palm.
"Hehe!" In the gauze, an old man in black suddenly came out, he was wearing a hat, the golden light in his mouth was shining, a row of gold teeth collided between his lips and teeth, he also waved a palm, canceling out the palm print of the law phase, and then the entire gauze curtain melted into the dark night outside.
Fa Xiang's face changed drastically, he recognized the pair of gold teeth, and shouted, "It's them!"
"Brother Fa Xiang knows them?" I don't know when, Wan Qian and Wan Ting also walked out of the door, "Are they from the Demon Sect?"
"Yes, it was this golden tooth that injured me that day!" Fa Xiang nodded.
"It's coming pretty fast!" Wan Qian said.
"Are you alright?" Wan Ting asked when she came to Yuan Qi's side.
"I'm fine!" Yuan Qizheng said, "They are just tempting, and they don't dare to make a big splash here, we can rest assured!"
"Then are you going again tomorrow?" Wan Ting asked.
"It's not in the way, just investigate the periphery, it won't go deeper, don't worry!" Yuan Qi saw that Wan Ting was in a hurry, her clothes were a little messy, she hurriedly took off her coat and gently put it on, "Rest early, don't catch a cold!"
Mo Li saw this move in his eyes, sweated in his palms, and bit his lip tightly.
Outside the inn, a black lady drove slowly, and the old man wearing a hat next to her followed closely.
"Hall Master, why don't you let me rush in and kill them all!" the old man's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Elder Jin, it's not a good thing that you are too murderous, this is Chiba City, and now the power of my sect is not enough to kill in this place!" the delicate woman said lightly, "Today I tested them with a chaotic requiem, although they detected it, it was not for nothing." ”
"What did the hall master discover?" asked Elder Jin hurriedly.
"Well, I can't say it, I just think that Mo Li is a little weird, maybe you can take advantage of it!" the woman said, "It's just an intuition, I think that Yuan Qi also noticed it!"
"What is the plan of the hall master?" asked Jin Lao.
"You're asking too much, you shouldn't know, you don't need to know!" the woman's voice suddenly became cold.
"The subordinates know their mistakes, and the hall master atones for their sins!" Jin Lao let out a cold sweat, obviously afraid of the delicate woman.
"That's enough, don't you have something to report before you come!
"The hall master is wise, he set up a seven-killing array in the area of Mangshan, trapping a large number of Qingcheng Mountain disciples, and now everyone in the sect praises the hall master!"
"Okay, I see!" The woman was not happy about this, but asked casually, "What's the recent movement in Mingshan?"
Jin Lao was stunned for a moment, his face was a little hesitant, he leaned over the curtain in a low voice, and hummed a few words softly.
"Got it!" the woman's voice was calm and unpredictable, and there was silence for a long time before a voice came out, "Speed up!"
"Yes!" said Jin Lao.
Jiaozi shuttled quickly, bringing out a strange wind, blowing the curtains, revealing a beautiful face, it was Ning Xin, she was dressed as a daughter, black gauze clothes, wrapped with a proud figure, her eyes were as bright as the starry sky, she sat upright and Jiaozhong, quiet as a virgin, and the frosty temperament with murderous intent on the Mangshan Mountain, forming a strong contrast, it is hard to imagine that this is the culprit who killed countless Qingcheng disciples!
