Fast forward to three months later.

On this day, in the depths of the bamboo sea.

The door to the stone chamber slowly opened.

The handsome young man stepped out and took a deep breath of the fresh air in the forest.

There was an inophable muffled thrung in his abdomen.

For a long time, his mind had been immersed in Vipassana Realm, that is, the vast starry sky, and he did not feel hungry or thirsty at all.

It was inside one's own mind, and the illusory scene seen varied from person to person.

As soon as I came out at this moment, I immediately felt that my mouth was dry, and my stomach was on fire.

I didn't see any movement from him, and he was out of the sheath with a 'clear delusion' on his back.

The fallen leaves under his feet were shaken apart by the invisible momentum.

The dazzling purple light flashed, and his figure disappeared without a trace.

......

Jue Wei Feng canteen.

Mu Qingyun ate three bowls of noodle soup, along with the soup.

Chu Huang was dumbfounded, he forgot to clean up the table, he was intercepted on the way to Liu Jun'er to play.

"March didn't go in. Mu Qingyun took the clean handkerchief he handed and wiped his mouth, didn't seem to feel embarrassed, and said lightly. Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, he asked again, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Huang was still so timid and cowardly, and said hesitantly, "Second Senior Brother...... You're like a different person!"

"Huh?" Mu Qingyun was slightly puzzled, looked at him, and asked, "Could it be that he is hungry and thin?"

"No...... That is, the whole person's demeanor and temperament have changed a lot!"

He groaned slightly, then stood up and said, "You will have to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, I will go to see the master later, go back and freshen up first." ”

"Second Senior Brother, Master left a few days ago. Chu Huang hurriedly said.

Mu Qingyun stood still and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

She didn't say anything, just left a letter for you, and the senior brother was afraid that the senior sister would peek at it, so he helped you keep it. Chu Huang said. After a pause, he seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, not long after Master left, someone else also came to look for you, but she doesn't seem to be from our sect. ”

"Oh? ”

She didn't say her name, she just left a sentence. She is a very tall woman, two heads taller than the senior brother, and she looks as good as the master. Chu Huang recalled.

"Her hair is not purple. ”

Chu Huang immediately nodded and said, "Yes, my junior sister still wanted to touch it, but she refused." ”

I didn't expect her to come to me during my retreat, but luckily they didn't have an accident...... Mu Qingyun's brows furrowed slightly, and she asked, "What did she say?" ”

"She asked us to tell you that we arrived in Chunyang City before the first day of May. ”

"Gone?"

Chu Huang nodded and asked, "When I saw her, she was already ready to leave, you can ask Senior Sister." By the way, second senior brother, who is she. ”

Mu Qingyun's eyes were cold, and he said, "A crazy woman." ”

......

Vast lawns.

A huge black bear was lazily basking in the sun, and beside it lay a tiger with white fur and black stripes.

"I tell you, little black and white, I found a fruit tree in the forest to the east, and the fruit on it was red, crisp and sweet, and delicious. In the evening, I will take you to eat secretly, but I can't let their gluttonous ghosts know, otherwise they will be plucked off in less than a day. ”

Liu Jun'er leaned half of her body on the belly of the black bear, and put a small foot on the tiger's neck.

With your eyes closed, you can enjoy the tranquility of the moment.

I don't know when someone stood beside him.

He quietly looked at the little girl at his feet, his expression faint.

"You've been so idle all day. ”

She was startled by the sudden voice, and her body sat up violently.

"Second Senior Brother, you're out of the customs!"

"Hmm. ”

"Huh?" the little girl looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Why do you look so unhappy?" ”

"Yes. Mu Qingyun was a little dazed.

"You won't laugh when you see me! I'm worried about whether you'll starve to death. Second Senior Brother, have you gone mad?"

The little girl's big watery eyes blinked, and she looked him up and down with a wary face, but the master said that people who go crazy will become extremely cruel, and the six relatives will not recognize it!

Mu Qingyun didn't bother to entangle with her, and asked, "What about Senior Brother?" ”

"Hmph, since the Ask the Conference, he and Senior Sister Chu seem to have endless whispers, and I went to find her again early this morning!"

"Shouldn't you be glad that the elm is cracked? ”

"But now there's no one to play with me!" Liu Jun'er shouted.

"Chu Huang and Yi Han. ”

"From childhood to college, the third senior brother has said no more than ten sentences, and the fourth senior brother is too stupid, they are not fun. ”

Mu Qingyun shook his head and asked again, "I heard Chu Huang say that a woman came to me, and I still remember what she said." ”

Liu Jun'er turned her head and said angrily: "I won't tell you about it, unless you tell her what it has to do with you." ”

"Then you don't have to say it. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell Master!"

"Self-deed. ”

Mu Qingyun didn't seem to eat her anymore, turned around and left.

"Wow, you are a thief, I will tell her when Master comes back!"

Seeing this, Liu Jun'er immediately shouted and chased after her.

Mu Qingyun didn't look back.

......

Shang Luying didn't return to Juewei Peak until the afternoon, with an unconcealed joy on her face.

Mu Qingyun glanced at him, didn't bother to ask, and immediately asked him for Xiao Yinzhen's letter.

Xiao Yinzhen said in the letter that there were still a few things needed to break the evil pill, and now he had gone out to search for him. If she hadn't come back when she left the customs, she would have asked Mu Qingyun to find the last one by herself, whether she found it or not, and met at Juling Mountain in early July.

The discourse is short, ending with a short description of an herb and a hand-drawn map.

September was the day of the sect's big competition, so she set the time in July, and no matter whether the medicinal materials could be found or not, if she wanted to refine the high-quality elixir, she still had to rely on the Tibetan Spirit Pavilion.

Ao Yu invited her in May, if she didn't go, I'm afraid she wouldn't give up, and now I can only go to see her alone, hoping that there will be no accidents.

A little purple fire jumped out of his fingers, and the letter paper was burned completely in an instant.

On the side, Shang Luying was proudly telling Liu Jun'er and the others about today's feat, and when he saw Mu Qingyun burning the letter without saying a word, the eyebrows on his face also faded.

"Second junior brother, why has the whole person changed since you left the customs, what happened?" he asked.

"Nothing. Mu Qingyun replied, but seeing that he frowned and looked a little displeased, he said again: "During the retreat, I have understood a few exercises, and since then my heart has become very calm. ”

"Is that so?" he asked.

Mu Qingyun nodded, and said, "That woman asked me to meet in Chunyang City, the trip is not short, and I will leave tomorrow." ”

Shang Luying groaned and asked, "Is she Su Peiqing of the Miaoyan Sect?"

"No, I had a relationship with her when I was in the Cangluan faction. ”

"That woman is arrogant in her words and deeds, and she has a domineering atmosphere in her demeanor, which is by no means easy to deal with, and she must be careful. ”

"I will. ”

At this time, Yi Han, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth.

"During your retreat, Zeng Qingya also came to ask you. He has been gloomy since he was a child, rarely speaks, and only shows respect and obedience to Xiao Yinzhen.

Mu Qingyun turned his head to look at the other people, and they all said they didn't know.

Yi Han said again: "I was the only one at that time. ”

"I expected him to come to you, but I didn't expect it to be now. Shang Luying said slowly.

Mu Qingyun asked, "What is his intention?" ”

"He wants to woo you. Shang Luying's tone was very certain, looking at Mu Qingyun, there was some deep meaning in his eyes.

Mu Qingyun's eyes lowered, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long time, he asked, "Is it because of Yan Qianzhong?"

"How can you tell?" Shang Luying was slightly surprised, and said: "Although the two of them are from the same family, they are brothers and friends on the surface, but they actually look like they are separated. The master of the real person is strict in accepting disciples, and he has been focusing on the development and growth of the sect for a hundred years, and it was not until forty years ago that he accepted the first disciple, which was Yan Qianzhong. He is extraordinary, highly valued by the real person in charge, bold and means, and can be described as unique among the younger generation. Until the appearance of Zeng Qingya, he broke the situation that he was the only one in the main gate. In terms of qualifications, Zeng Qingya is on a par with him, and in terms of temperament, he is more suitable for succeeding to the head. And Zeng Qingya is indeed an ambitious person, but at the same time, he is also a person who likes to be comfortable, at first he had no intention of competing for the position of head, but Yan Qianzhong was not at ease. ”

On the surface, Yan Qianzhong took good care of him, but in fact, he often suppressed him secretly. The master of the sect has a heart to cultivate, and his cultivation has risen rapidly, and gradually some important affairs have also been transferred from Yan Qianzhong's hands. His prestige and status were gradually shaken, and Hiko's hatred for him became more and more deep, and he also understood that as long as he was still a disciple of Zhenren, he could not eliminate his jealousy. Zeng Qingya had his own arrogance, so he chose to compete with him. Hikochishige was freed from heavy work and began to retreat regularly to improve his cultivation, but the network he had cultivated over the years was still strong and continued to expand. And Zeng Qingya also took the opportunity to step up his efforts to secretly attract and cultivate his own forces, but now he still hasn't fully understood the depth of Yan Qianzhong, so he still has to continue to hide and hibernate. ”

"You shine at the Ask Conference, whether it is your heart or cultivation, it is worth wooing, Zeng Qingya will never miss a talent like you. Come to think of it, Hikochiju or his men will soon come over to probe your tone. ”

"However, the main reason why Zeng Qingya values me is you. Mu Qingyun looked at Shang Luying quietly and said, "You are the one who stands on his side." ”

Shang Luying was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

"I guessed wrong. Mu Qingyun asked rhetorically.

"It's not a mistake, it's just not accurate. After several life and death on a mission, we can't say that we can completely see through Zeng Qingya's character, but it is definitely not a person who hides a knife in his smile like Yan Qianzhong and never treats people sincerely. When he was away, he approached us separately and revealed his intention to cultivate his own power in order to protect himself. We don't want to get involved in this infighting that will put the entire Taichong Sect in danger, but we also don't want Yan Qianzhong to succeed the head of the sect, so for now we are just biased to do a wait-and-see attitude. Shang Luying replied.
