Chapter Forty-Five: Mustard
The three of Lingyun waited on the altar for a long time, and when they saw that Li Dao hadn't come back yet, they couldn't help but be extremely worried. Although Zhu Hong said that he was seriously injured, but after all, he was a monk of the Spirit God Realm, and it was not easy to kill him completely.
At that time, he was in a hurry, and the three of them had no time to stop him.
It's almost an hour past, and seeing that dusk is approaching, and the smoke is everywhere, but they haven't returned, and the faces of the three of them are full of anxiety.
Jin Cicada put his hand on the pergola, looked into the air on all sides, and saw that there was no sign of sword light flickering, and couldn't help but say irritably: "This Senior Brother Li is also really, he likes to be in the limelight, he hasn't returned for a long time, has he encountered the poisonous hands of that demon?" If not, why don't you send a message back, why bother us to worry here!"
A look of complaint.
Zhu Wen hurriedly said: "Jin Cicada, don't say that, Senior Brother Li is also here to cut the grass and eradicate the roots." Since he dares to go alone, he should know in his heart, let's wait for a while, and I guess he should be back when the time comes. ”
Qi Lingyun also nodded and said: "Jin Cicada, Hugh is rude! Everyone is a senior brother in the same sect, and you must not slander others behind your back, although you are young, you must also pay attention, otherwise if Senior Brother Li hears it, it will be a mustard for you again." ”
Jin Cicada is an acute child, and it is inevitable that he will be a little impatient after waiting for Li Dao not to return for a long time, as soon as he said this, Zhu Wen and Lingyun both said that he was not, and they were suddenly depressed, and they suddenly had prejudices against Li Dao in their hearts.
The little face was flushed, and he didn't speak, but stomped his feet and ran to the Condor to play.
Lingyun and Zhu Wen couldn't help but sigh one after another, a sad look appeared on their faces, obviously still a little worried about Li Dao's return.
But he had no choice but to continue to wait in place.
All the facilities on this altar were destroyed by them just now, including the more than ten pillars, but unfortunately, except for the girl who was captured by Zhu Hong, the rest of the people were not alive.
Lingyun had no choice but to ask Zhu Wen and Jin Chan to help, and used a flying sword to dig a deep pit in the belly of the mountain on the side and bury these people.
Just as the sun was about to set completely, a yellow light flew from the sky in the distance, and the speed was extremely fast.
This kind of vision naturally couldn't hide from Lingyun and the others, and they all looked towards the sky, initially thinking that it was still the enemy coming to help, and they couldn't help but pull out their flying swords one after another, with a look of vigilance, because Li Dao's sword light was cyan.
Later, Huang Mang got closer, and then he saw clearly that it was a flying boat that broke through the sky, and there were four people standing on the boat, and the man led by him was not Li Dao, who was looking at them with a smile at the moment.
"Senior Brother Li, you're back!"
Lingyun suddenly had a happy face and shouted lightly.
Li Dao drove the flying boat and landed on the altar, and said apologically to Lingyun and Zhu Wen embarrassedly: "There was an accident, it was a little late, so you have to wait for a long time." ”
After speaking, he explained to Lingyun and the others a few people around him, and said: "This girl and this little boy are called Nangu and Huzi, their real surname is Zhang, and they are a pair of sisters and brothers. It was originally an official eunuch's family, but later my father died of illness, and on the way home, Zhu Hong snatched the sacrificial flag, and my younger brother was imprisoned in the cave of the demon road, and I rescued him together. ”
On the way, Li Dao chatted with Nangu, figured out the origin of their sister and brother, and introduced them at this moment.
Lingyun and Zhu Wen naturally knew the little girl, and when they looked at her carefully, they looked at her very delicately, her eyes were bright, she looked extremely spiritual, she didn't seem to be afraid of them, she seemed to have a stability that her peers had not had, and when she thought of what happened to them, she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, and the two of them had a good impression of her.
The boy named Huzi is tiger-headed and very cute.
Lingyun and Zhu Wen touched the heads of the two of them one after another, and comforted them.
Li Dao pointed to the two Taoist boys and introduced: "The older of these two people is called Yu Jian, and the younger one is called Yang Dezhi. It was a good family in Sichuan, and it was used by the demon captives to make a sacrificial flag, but there were too many people that time, and they escaped by chance, and the demon took them as apprentices. Fortunately, the two of them are kind by nature, and they have not been deceived by the demon road, and they have not been abused by the demon, and this time I brought them out together after killing the demon road. ”
Zhu Wen felt that it didn't matter when he heard this, and nodded.
Lingyun's face suddenly changed, his pretty face was frosty, his eyes showed murderous aura, and he blamed Li Dao: "Senior Brother Li, you are confused! This person in the Demon Sect would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let go of one." You must know that cutting grass does not remove roots, and the spring breeze grows again!"
Li Dao didn't expect such a big reaction from Lingyun, and couldn't help but wonder: "I naturally interrogated the origin of these two people, and there is no trace of aura in their bodies, they are still mortals, and they did not follow Zhu Hong's cultivation." And with Nan Gu and Hu Zi testifying, although these two people were persecuted by the demon Dao, they did not commit any evil things, why is Senior Sister Lingyun like this?"
Nangu and Huzi nodded when they heard this.
Lingyun became even more angry when he heard this, and said with a frosty face: "Senior Brother Li, you don't know the power of the Demon Sect's heterogeneous demon methods, which can deceive people's hearts the most, but anyone who enters the Demon Sect will not be controlled by himself. Even if they look like good people on the surface, they are actually disguised, they are very forbearing, and they will attack you when you are not paying attention, the most vicious, but you should not be deceived. What do these two children know, the reason why the two demon cubs are good to them is just to paralyze them!"
After speaking, Qi Lingyun pointed the flying sword in his hand at the two Dao boys, and shouted: "Don't blame me, only blame you for being in the Demon Gate, kill you, lest you do harm everywhere in the future!"
Li Dao was suddenly furious, this Lingyun looked dignified and steady, why is he so unreasonable now, what is the righteous path of the Demon Sect, it is just that each other's cultivation concepts are different, what does this have to do with the good and evil of people?
Besides, these are still two young children, and they are not at fault in the first place, so it would be too arbitrary to kill them because of this!
Li Dao asked himself if he was a good person, and he did things according to his mood, but he also had a bottom line, and he couldn't accept Lingyun's truth at all.
He couldn't watch the two of them being killed, and they were rescued by themselves, so suddenly Qingyun Sword slashed out, blocking Qi Lingyun, and shouted: "Senior Sister Lingyun, you have gone too far! These are just two young children, and they don't have any cultivation in their bodies, what good is it for you to kill them? Isn't it no different from those murderous demons when you do this!"
Zhu Wen couldn't help but be startled when he saw that the two of them were fine just now, and hurriedly said: "Senior Sister Qi, Senior Brother Li, what are you doing here? We are the same disciples, can't we draw our own swords against each other, put away the flying swords, and have something to say." ”
Lingyun and Li Dao were unmoved, the two had a conflict of ideas at this moment, and they would not retreat half a step.
At this time, Yu Jian and Yang Dezhi didn't know that the catastrophe was coming, and they were scared into chaff, kneeling on the ground trembling, kowtowing to Lingyun, and shouting for mercy again and again.
"Senior Brother Li, do you really want to shield these two demon cubs, do you know that you are violating the rules by doing this!"
Qi Lingyun said coldly.
If she wanted to change someone else, she would have done it a long time ago, but Li Daoxiu was a strong person, and he didn't lose a penny compared to her, so he was a little jealous.
"I'm not covering up, there's nothing wrong with the two of them. If you want to kill them, I brought them out, and what is the difference between you doing this and killing them with my own hands, I dare not agree with your reasoning. ”
Li Dao's expression was resolute and did not give in.
Qi Lingyun's face became more and more angry, and it seemed that it was about to explode at any time, and the killing intent suddenly enveloped Li Dao. However, seeing that Li Dao looked like he didn't give in, knowing that it was impossible to compromise, and there was really no chance of winning the fight with him, he tried his best to endure his anger in his heart, and he still planned to find a way to persuade him, but there was no possibility of giving in to himself.
This matter touched the bottom line in her heart, but it can't be counted, she has lived in Emei since she was a child, and the idea instilled is that in addition to Emei, the rest of the cultivators are all sideways, demon cults, and the elders warn that if you encounter it, you will be killed.
In her thoughts, this concept is correct, so she will have that reaction after hearing Li Dao say that these two people are Zhu Hong's apprentices.
"Senior Brother Li, let me tell you a story, you will understand it after listening to it. ”
Qi Lingyun suddenly spoke.
Li Dao didn't speak, looking at Qi Lingyun to see if she had anything to say.
"Do you know that my Emei has been passed down to the Lingkong Immortal Realm for thousands of years. About 500 years ago, my ancestor was Yu Zhenren, the son of Yu Sanzi, who was the top sword immortal at that time. He did not have many apprentices in his life, only two. One is called Ren Shou, that is, the real name of the Changmei real person of Guangda Emei, and the other is called Zheng Yin, who is loyal to the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of dissatisfaction with Cao Wei's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, the ancestors have lived in seclusion in Cuiping Mountain for generations. This Zheng Yin is brave and brave since he was a child, and he is kind and charitable, because he has a lot of family property and is generous, so he is famous for a hundred miles. The ancestor Yu Sanzi saw that he was kind by nature and had extraordinary roots, so he went down the mountain to make him an apprentice, and he was the junior disciple of Changmei Zhenren, and he gave me the highest heart method of Emei, and many cheats were poured into each other. ”
Qi Lingyun paused, looked at Li Dao and asked, "Do you know what happened to him?"
Without waiting for Li Dao to answer, Qi Lingyun said to himself: "This Zheng Yin's root bone is higher than the real person with long eyebrows, and he has reached the realm of the Void Immortal in less than a hundred years, and after three tribulations, he is only one step away from that true immortal. Seeing that his comprehension was so high, the patriarch of Zhu Sanzi originally wanted to pass on the mantle of Emei to him, and gave him the Ziying Sword and the Tai Platinum Sword, the treasure of the sect, so that Changmei Zhenren could be assisted. But ....."
Speaking of this, Qi Lingyun looked at the two children who were kowtowing and said, "But although this Zheng Yin is talented, he doesn't like to cultivate in the mountains, and yearns for games in the world. One day he returned to his hometown Cuiping Mountain to live for a few days, idle and bored, wandering all over the mountain, at this time he was already in the realm of virtual immortals, and suddenly found that this mountain has some clues. It turned out that somewhere in this Cuiping Mountain, there was actually a cave hidden, sealed with an enchantment, and ordinary people couldn't see it at all. Later, Zheng Yin walked in with curiosity, only to learn that there were three sisters living in seclusion here. Among the three sisters, one of them was the youngest named Shen Wujian, and later married Zheng Yin, and it was not until a long time that Zheng Yin learned that this cave was the back door of the famous and notorious Blood God Sect Demon Palace at that time, and the three Shen sisters were the core disciples of the Blood God Sect. ”
"And then?"
Li Dao asked.
Qi Lingyun seemed to be disdainful, snorted coldly, and then said: "Later, Zheng Yin rebelled, not only abandoned my Emei Supreme Nine Heavens Xuanjing and Taiqing Immortal Method, but was also tempted by his wife Shen Wujian, cultivated that blood nerve, and completely fell into the Demon Sect, obsessed with it, and became a demon. At that time, the ancestor of the Shan Sanzi was already facing a soaring career, and seeing Zheng Yin like this, he passed on the position of the head of the sect to Changmei Zhenren, and asked him to kill Zheng Yin and clean up the portal. Since then, Changmei Zhenren has had an adventure, comprehended the supreme mastery of the Taiqing Immortal Law, and his cultivation has skyrocketed, much more powerful than Zheng Yin, and he has captured Zheng Yin several times and returned to Emei, and persuaded him to change his mind and return to the right path, but it has never been fruitless, and he can only be sealed in the end. ”
"Since then, the elder elder has left his last words, but anyone in the Demon Sect can be slaughtered and poked without mercy. If you think about it, even a person with roots and cultivation like Zheng Yin will be lost in the Demon Palace, let alone these two demon cubs. Senior Brother Li, you understand my hard work now!"
Qi Lingyun looked at Li Dao and said with a bitter face.
She thought that Li Dao would come to her senses after hearing these words, but she saw that Li Dao still shook his head stubbornly, and said firmly: "The reason why Zheng Yin is like this is because he is not good enough and is willing to fall. To say that these two children are the most innocent, if so, it is too far-fetched to think that they have fallen into the devil's path and will harm the Quartet in the future. According to what you say, anyone who has joined a different faction can be killed, and there are many enemies in Emei, I really don't dare to agree. ”
"You ........"
Qi Lingyun was extremely angry, she didn't expect Li Dao to be so stubborn, how could she tell him that she wouldn't back down, and suddenly a wave of anger rushed straight to her head, and she was about to run away, Qianqianyu raised her fingers and pointed at Li Dao, looking extremely angry.
"Sister, why do you need to say more to him, since you want to insist on shielding these two demons and subduing him together, you will be dealt with with by your father with canons!"
Jin Cicada appeared at some point, holding the thunderbolt sword in both hands, locked on Li Dao, and said with a disdainful expression.
He already had a slight opinion on Li Dao, but now he was even more angry when he saw him and his sister Lingyun confronting each other. Although he and Lingyun had a quarrel, they were sisters and brothers after all, and they were still very united at a critical time.
"The surname is Li, don't be embarrassed, don't think that you are a senior brother, you are really a senior brother. I don't know how many people want to enter my Emei Sect, you have cultivated the blessing of several lifetimes before you were favored by my mother and included in the door. But I don't understand the rules like this, my juniors and others are led by my sister, don't make a mistake about yourself!"
Jin Chan pointed at Li Dao and shouted angrily.
As soon as Li Dao heard this, his face suddenly changed, he looked at Jin Cicada with sharp eyes, this little kid usually likes to act mischiefly by virtue of his status and status, and his personality is willful, he has long seen him unhappy, but because of his peers, he doesn't think it's a pestle.
Now he dares to offend him directly, and he really can't restrain himself with his temperament.
"Very good, it seems that your sister and brother are going to force me to make a move, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that the Emei disciple, who is known as a famous and righteous disciple, actually wants to kill two defenseless children, it really opened my eyes!"
Li Dao smiled coldly, and the momentum in his body began to rise, he decided that even if he reversed Emei today, he would protect these two people. Since he Li Dao cultivated, he has done things according to his preferences, but he also has a bottom line, and he will never hurt ordinary people who have no evil deeds.
If someone else wants to kill, he doesn't care. But if he saves himself, and others want to kill him, he will take care of it.
No matter what, it is equivalent to him killing, which Li Dao can't bear at all.
Zhu Wen was at a loss at the moment, he didn't know which side to help, and he was about to cry in a hurry.
At the moment of tension, suddenly a golden light brightened the altar, and everyone could not see the figure, and an old voice came: "Why should the disciples of the same sect hurt themselves, although these two people have fallen into the Demon Sect, their roots and bones are not stained, and the texture is very good." With that sister and brother, they will both join the church in the future, and you won't be troubled, I will take them away and settle down temporarily, you go straight to Qingluo. ”
The golden light dissipated, and everyone opened their eyes, where did they see people?
Even the four of Yu Jian, Yang Dezhi, and Nan Gu and his sister and brother disappeared together, and everyone knew that it was the real person of the seniors who came here just now, and they couldn't help but be extremely frightened in their hearts, and Lingyun shouted into the air: "Please also ask the seniors to leave their names!"
But there was no response for a long time, knowing that the person who came had gone away.
Since the senior said that, the root cause of the matter has been solved, Li Dao and Lingyun have no reason to confront each other, and they have withdrawn their flying swords, but the friendship is no longer as good as before.
Li Dao and Lingyun Golden Cicada thus formed a mustard.
According to Li Dao's thoughts, he wanted to say goodbye to Emei, so he simply practiced alone and joined other sects. But when I thought of Xun Lanyin's words that day, the Emei sect rules are strict, and for apostates, even if they are thousands of miles away, they must use a flying sword to take their heads, thinking of the day Qi Shuming Flying Sword Transmission, and the mysterious person just now, I felt threatened, so I dispersed this idea.
Jin Cicada snorted coldly, then walked to the divine eagle, rode on his back and said, "It's still bright now, you can still make some roads, sister, let's go." ”
Lingyun nodded and said, "Let's go." ”
After speaking, he pulled Zhu Wen to set up the sword light and flew into the distance, but he didn't even pay attention to Li Dao, and he didn't even ask about the killing of Zhu Hong before, so he left.
Li Dao touched his nose, sighed, and also took off the boat to follow.
Let's take a look first, and if it really doesn't work, find a way to get out.
