Qingyun Mountain, Big Bamboo Peak.

Outside the Shoujing Hall, all the disciples of Dazhu Peak, starting from Song Daren to Du Bishu, stood outside the door in a row, with anxious and worried looks on their faces, and looked at the Shoujing Hall from time to time.

After a while, the sound of footsteps was remembered in the Shoujing Hall, and a woman walked out, but it was Wen Min from Xiaozhufeng. Song Daren and other Dazhufeng disciples surrounded him at once, Song Daren and Wen Min were familiar with each other, looked at the emptiness behind Wen Min, and asked in a low voice, "How is my senior sister?"

Wen Min nodded and said softly: "Uncle Su is no big deal, when I returned to the mountain just now, I suddenly fainted, I heard my master say that it was because I was too worried, and now my master is accompanying her inside, and she has woken up." ”

Song Daren and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, but no one could be happy with the expression on their faces, Du Bishu said with a bitter face: "This is really a bolt from the blue, the master has no news, and even the master almost had an accident now."

"Shut up!" Song Daren frowned and drank, Du Bishu smiled bitterly and shook his head silently. Song Daren turned to Wen Min and said, "Did my senior lady ask you to tell us anything?"

Wen Min shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Su just whispered to my master, and after a few words, the master asked me to come out too, and it seems that he doesn't want me to know anything." ”

Song Daren frowned and said, "This and this"

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Wen Min felt a little unbearable in his heart, and persuaded: "Senior Brother Song, don't be too anxious, anyway, no matter how big it is, aren't there still Uncle Su and my master here!" ”

Song Daren sighed and nodded, "What you said is true." After pondering for a moment, he turned to the other junior disciples and said, "Okay, okay, now that I know that my sister is safe, I say that you don't have to stand here all the time, otherwise if your sister knows, it will cause trouble for her." Let's go back to our rooms first, and we still have to do our homework, so I'll put it away here. ”

Wu Dayi, He Dazhi, Du Bishu and the others glanced at each other, and after being silent for a moment, the second Wu Dayi nodded and said, "That's fine, let's listen to the words of the senior brother." After speaking, he turned to Song Daren again and said, "Senior brother, I'll come over for you later." ”

Song Daren just wanted to shake his head and excuse himself, He Dazhi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, you tell us to have a good rest, don't take it indiscriminately, and the senior lady won't like you like this." ”

Song Daren smiled bitterly and nodded. At that moment, everyone gradually dispersed, only Song Daren and Wen Min stood outside the Shoujing Hall, speechless for a while.

The two glanced at each other, Wen Min's face suddenly turned red, and he slowly lowered his head, Song Daren coughed, but he also felt that his heart was beating faster, and he quickly settled down, laughed dryly, and said, "Senior Sister Wen, didn't you just go to Southern Xinjiang with Lu Xueqi from your Xiaozhu Peak not long ago, why did you come back so soon?"

Wen Min shook his head and said: "I went to southern Xinjiang, and I didn't plan to rush back so early, but something strange happened there temporarily, and after discussing it with Senior Sister Lu, I felt that this matter was not trivial, so I rushed back first to tell the master and the elders, and Senior Sister Lu still stayed in Southern Xinjiang to see the opportunity." ”

Song Daren was stunned and said, "What's so important?"

Wen Min hesitated for a moment, glanced around, then approached Song Daren, whispered a few words in his ear, and before she finished speaking, Song Daren's face had changed a little when he heard it, and when Wen Min came together, he left his side, stood in front of him and looked at him, sighed lowly, and said, "Now you know why I rushed back." ”

Song Daren's face was cloudy, and he was stunned for a while before he said, "This is really an eventful autumn." ”

Wen Min was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Who said it wasn't, I also think it's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave, plus after I came back, there was actually such a thing in this sect, alas." ”

She sighed and didn't say any more, Song Daren stood with her, and suddenly felt that the woman beside her was emaciated, and she looked a little more weak, and couldn't help but slowly stand closer.

Wen Min was looking down and pondering, as if he didn't feel it, but the corners of his mouth moved slightly, but he didn't speak, just stood so quietly.

The two figures stood quietly outside the Dazhu Peak Meditation Hall.

In the distance, the bamboo waves of the big bamboo peak, the warm sun is shining down, in the blue sky, but it is the beautiful scene of the sky high and refreshing, cloudless, gently watching the world.

In the backyard of the Quiet Hall, in a secluded bedroom, two women sat opposite each other.

Master Shuiyue was silent for a long time, and said, "Senior sister, why don't you go and lie down on the bed for a while." ”

Su Ru shook her head slowly, although she looked tired, she still said in a resolute and low tone: "If I don't go, even if I go to lie down, I won't be able to sleep." ”

Master Shuiyue sighed and said, "Senior sister, don't worry too much, just like I said to you just now, no matter what, Tian Buyi didn't see the senior brother in charge at the same time, you didn't see him really encounter any accidents, so don't think about it anymore." Besides, although Senior Brother Xuan has been a little inappropriate recently, his cultivation is far above us, and his concentration is the same, Tian Buyi is his junior brother for many years, and he will definitely not mess around. ”

Su Ru was silent, but her eyes were slightly red.

Master Shuiyue shook his head, stood up, and walked a few steps back and forth in the room, obviously also a little distraught. At present, even ordinary disciples can see the chaos in Qingyunmen, not to mention that they are elders who know some inside stories.

Su Ruqiang smiled, changed the topic, and said, "Senior sister, why did you suddenly go to Tongtian Peak today?"

Master Shuiyue said angrily: "It's not all for the sake of the bad things in Yun Yilan of Incense Valley, I was originally going to go to the senior brother in charge to discuss, but I didn't expect such a big thing to happen, and in the end, even the master of the dignified sect disappeared." ”

Su Ru frowned and said, "Yun Yilan, the valley master of the Incense Valley, what does he have to do with us Qingyun?"

Master Shuiyue sneered and said, "My disciples Lu Xueqi and Wen Min went to Southern Xinjiang to track down the whereabouts of the beast demon, do you know?"

Su Ru nodded and said, "I know, I was wondering just now, why did I see that Wen Min actually came back so soon, and with you, did that Lu Xueqi also come back?"

Master Shuiyue shook his head and said, "Xue Qi hasn't come back yet, this time it was the two of them who discussed it, and Wen Min went back to the mountain to tell me first." ”

Su Ru said, "What's wrong?"

Master Shuiyue said: "When they went to visit that Yun Yilan in the southern Xinjiang, Yun Yilan suddenly asked them if our Qingyunmen's Zhuxian Ancient Sword had been damaged!"

Su Ru's face changed greatly, and she was stunned: "What?"

Master Shuiyue sneered: "You are also surprised, I heard it at the time, and I was really shocked by it, Yun Yilan is thousands of miles away, how could he know this great secret, that day, Senior Brother Daoxuan told a few of us who had disciples present to guard against thieves, just for fear that this matter would be leaked, do you remember?"

Su Ru was silent for a long time, the worry in her eyes became heavier, and she sighed: "This is really a bad thing that has spread thousands of miles. ”

Master Shuiyue paced back and forth and said, "And have you ever thought about why Yun Yilan would say such things to those juniors?"

Su Ru nodded slowly, and said: "I'm also thinking about this, if it's for the sake of the same righteous path, he shouldn't mention it in public, but hide it for us; ”

"That's right!" Master Shuiyue snorted and said, "Here's the problem, Yun Yilan looks like he has done a foolish thing that only a fool would do, and he doesn't like both sides, but I all know that this person is not a fool, but an old and cunning person, but what he wants to do is really incomprehensible." ”

Su Ru pondered for a long time, but suddenly reached out and rubbed the corners of her forehead, showing a painful look on her face. Master Shuiyue was taken aback, and hurriedly walked over to support her, blaming himself: "Look at me, you are upset enough, I still told you this, okay, don't talk about it, don't talk about it"

Su Ru smiled faintly and said: "Alas, if in the past, there was a senior brother in charge of the overall situation, we would not have been afraid of these things at all, but now Qingyunmen itself is in a mess, and the situation outside is extremely chaotic, I don't know how many foreign enemies are looking at and delaying, I really don't know what to do."

Master Shuiyue frowned, and then said softly: "Senior sister, don't say it, you see how tired you are." Didn't I tell you, although the senior brother in charge has a strange temper these days, which is different from the past, he is a spiritual practitioner and determined, so we don't need to be afraid of anything. ”

Su Ru shook his head and said casually: "Senior sister, you don't understand, although the senior brother in charge of the sect is strong in his Taoism, but the fierce spirit of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword is stronger and stronger, although his Taoism is high, I am afraid that the demon will be even deeper."

Master Shuiyue was stunned and said, "What did you say?"

Su Ru was startled, only then did she realize that she had leaked her mouth, and was about to cover up the past, Master Shuiyue frowned, walked in front of her, and said solemnly: "Senior sister, what secrets are there in that Zhuxian Ancient Sword, you actually know, tell me quickly." ”

Su Ru was silent for a long time, sighed, and said, "That's it, anyway, until now, sooner or later it will be impossible to hide, senior sister, I'll tell you about it." Actually, it was more than 100 years ago."

※※※

100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang, deep in the ancient cave of demon suppression.

After a long absence, after the initial words, Xiaobai and Ghost Li both had a feeling that they didn't know what to say, only the monkey Xiao Gray who was lying on Ghost Li's shoulder seemed to be very happy to see Xiao Bai and grinned non-stop.

Ghost Li was suddenly stunned, as if he remembered something, turned his head to look at the way he came, but it was just darkness, he couldn't help frowning, and said to Xiaobai: "The woman who came with me, what did you do to her?"

Xiaobai snorted and said lightly: "What can I do with her? ”

Ghost Li was silent for a moment, shook his head, and didn't want to dwell on this issue, and said at the moment: "By the way, why are you here, after you left that day, I haven't heard from you, this time I came to southern Xinjiang, and I also secretly inquired, but I couldn't find you." ”

Xiao Bai smiled, his figure seemed to sway gently in the cyan glow, and between the shaking, it was full of moving charm, and said, "Didn't I tell you when I left, I want to find the 'Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array' for you." ”

Ghost said: "I remember, so I also went to the Xuanhuo Altar in the Incense Valley, but I didn't find anything, by the way, you haven't said what you did in this Demon Ancient Cave?"

Xiao Bai shrugged his shoulders and said, "I came here for the purpose of that magic circle, and I also took a look at an old friend by the way." ”

Ghost Li looked at her, groaned for a moment, and said, "Do you mean here?"

Xiao Bai nodded and said, "Yes, after the magic circle in the Xuanhuo Altar of Incense Valley was damaged, there was only one intact Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array left in this Demon Suppression Ancient Cave in the world, and besides, that old friend of mine happened to be here." ”

Ghost Li's face changed, and he said slowly: "The old friend you are talking about, could it be"

Xiao Bai smiled slightly and said, "It's the king of beasts and demons in your mouth, the beast god." ”

Although Ghost Li thought of it a little, when he heard Xiaobai say it himself, he was still stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, Ghost Li said slowly: "How can you have a relationship with him?"

Xiaobai looked at him, still with a soft smile on his face, but his eyes were as clear as water, but he seemed to have a little ridicule, and said: "Don't you know, I'm an old goblin, I'm old, I naturally know a lot of things, and I know a lot of monsters." ”

The ghost was silent, Xiaobai glanced at him, and said, "What about you, what are you doing here, just now you said that the ghost king ordered that woman to bring you here, what the hell does he want to do?"

Ghost Li shook his head and said, "The Ghost King Sect Master ordered me to come here, not to hunt down that beast god. ”

Xiao Bai was stunned and said, "It's not to kill him, then what do you want to do here?"

The ghost said sharply: "He wants me to subdue a strange beast gluttony next to the beast god and bring it back to him." ”

"Gluttony?"

Xiaobai was stunned again, frowned and thought for a moment, and said to himself: "It's strange, when did he become interested in gluttony?"

Ghost Li said lightly: "I don't know about this, anyway, he gave the order like this, and I will do it." ”

Xiao Bai snorted and said, "That gluttony is a spirit beast that has never left the beast god's side, if you want to accept it, you will have to pass the beast god's level, are you sure that you can defeat the beast god? Or do you also think that after he is injured, he wants to fall into the well?"

Ghost Li looked at Xiao Bai and didn't speak, and after a while, he suddenly smiled slightly, but he took a step and walked past Xiao Bai, walking towards the darkness deeper into the cave.

Xiao Bai's face changed slightly, followed him, and said, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Gray, who was lying on Ghost Li's shoulder, saw that Xiao Bai was beside him, and jumped off Ghost Li's shoulder with a "whew" and landed on Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai caught the monkey, hugged it to his chest, touched its head, and couldn't help but have a little kindness in his eyes, and then turned his head to look at Ghost Li.

Ghost Li said slowly: "You know, what the sect master tells me, as long as it is not too much, I will do it for him." ”

Xiaobai snorted and said, "Have you ever thought that if you do this yourself, you may feel more comfortable, but what you have done over the years, I'm afraid it may not be Baguio She likes you to do." ”

Ghost Li's footsteps suddenly stopped, the whole person seemed to stop for a moment, Xiao Bai frowned, and also stopped, but did not look at Ghost Li, but looked down at the monkey Xiao Ash slowly, and gently stroked its hair. Xiao Gray's three eyes blinked, as if he was a little puzzled, and looked at Xiao Bai for a while, and then looked at the master.

Ghost Li was silent for a while before he whispered, "Why do you say that since you know that doing this will make me a little more comfortable?"

Xiaobai sighed and didn't speak.

The ghostly figure seemed to suddenly seem a little lonely, but he stood in the faint blue light, but he didn't look back, just like he had long been used to it and never looked back, he was silent for a long time, and finally only said: "I haven't done anything that hurts heaven and reason!"

After that, he didn't say a word, and continued to walk forward, looking at the figure, Xiaobai also fell silent, and after a while, she looked at the little gray in her arms, but saw the monkey's three eyes looking at herself.

Xiaobai smiled bitterly and said, "Your master, you haven't gone crazy for more than ten years, it's really strange!"

※※※

The two figures walked for a long time in the depths of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave, Ghost Li did not hurry up, but Xiao Bai also seemed to be thoughtful, neither stopped Ghost Li from going to find the beast god, nor did he open his mouth to point the direction of the road, just walked behind him, thoughtfully.

Suddenly, Ghost Li stopped, and in front of him, in the darkness ahead, a faint green light suddenly lit up, flickering incessantly, shining several feet above the ground.

All around, there was silence, not to mention breathing, not even the smell of those fierce demonic beasts at all. At this time, Xiao Bai, who was walking behind him, sighed and said, "When you arrive, there is a door under the green light in front, and beyond that door is a large stone room, and the people and spirit beasts you are looking for are all inside." ”

Ghost Li didn't speak, but Xiao Ash looked at Xiao Bai's face, suddenly jumped up, jumped back to Ghost Li's shoulder a few times, and then turned back to Xiao Bai and grinned and touched his head.

Xiao Bai also smiled at Xiao Ash, and then said to the ghost: "Listen to me, I have a good relationship with the beast god, so if you want me to help you deal with him, I'm afraid it won't work." His way is supernatural, I think you have never fought before, but you should know more or less in your heart. Although he was severely injured by the Zhuxian Sword, it was not something that ordinary cultivators could deal with. So," she looked at him, and said slowly, "really, it's not too late for you to let go now!"

Ghost Li was silent for a while, but he shook his head slowly at Xiaobai, then took a deep breath, calmed down, and walked towards the green light, looking at his figure, Xiaobai did not continue to follow, but in his eyes, there was a faint hint of resentment and tenderness.

Suddenly, she raised her voice slightly towards the ghostly figure, and said, "Do you still have that Xuanhuo Jian on you?"

The ghost was stunned for a moment, stopped, turned his head, and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Xiao Bai's face seemed a little helpless, and he slowly shook his head and said, "You remember: first, the beast god can be defeated, and second, at a critical moment, you can use the Xuanhuo Jian to try it." ”

Ghost Li nodded, although he was still a little puzzled in his heart, but he didn't want to ask more, and said, "Thank you." With that, he continued to turn around and blended into the darkness, and in the distance, there were a few soft calls from the monkey Little Gray.

Xiaobai looked at the darkness, stood in place, and stood silently, as if he was stunned, and as if he was silently waiting for something.

※※※

Under the green glow, there was indeed a stone door, but the door was long gone, only the green light that could be seen clearly at this moment turned out to be a huge green gem, which was inlaid on the rock wall of the stone gate.

Ghost Li did not pause, walked in, and suddenly his eyes lit up, a burning brazier, lonely on the ground in the distance, around the brazier firelight, and it was dark, and it was dark again, and he couldn't see how big this stone room was, but behind the firelight, he really saw a man, a man in a bright silk shirt, sitting on the ground with his back against a small stone platform, looking at him with a smile.

The man's face was familiar to him, and beside the man, the beast gluttonous slowly stood up, roaring in a low voice full of hostility.

The man who looked a little charming, although his face was tired, but in his eyes, there seemed to be a faint smile, and he smiled at the ghost standing at the door, and said:

"We're meeting again!"
