Chapter 256: The Pit Man
Zhang Qian came, but unfortunately he was not one of them, and he followed behind the Red Lotus Daoist and walked with the Xuanji Daoist.
The light on the two of them completely obscured him, and from handing over the prayer note to entering the front hall, several disciples in charge of receiving him along the way were also quite unfamiliar with him, but they didn't ask.
The master of Tanglin Dao saw the Red Lotus Daoist visiting, and he was also a little surprised, and thought that it was the disciples who offended this woman who was not easy to provoke, so that he came to the door to ask for the guilt, and did not want to see this girl in general, and endured the unhappiness in his heart and ordered the disciples to serve with tea and water, as for the Xuanji Daoist and Zhang Qian behind him, he didn't pay much attention to it, glanced at it lightly, and didn't ask his identity, since he sat at the end, it was a character who couldn't be on the stage, and it was not worth asking him personally, and then before he asked the reason for the visit, the Red Lotus Daoist had already opened his mouth and went straight to the point: "This time I came here to inform the Daoist of Tanglin with bad news, and I hope that the Daoist can treat it with a normal heart. β
Hearing this, the Daoist of Tanglin's face changed slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "What bad news?" β
"Qingxuan Daoren, a disciple of the Taoist Master, was killed by Yang Jiye, a disciple of the Huangquan Demon Venerable of Xiaowei Mountain, in the ruins of the passage in Qingyang County, Shuzhou, three days ago, and his body and spirit were destroyed. The Red Lotus Daoist described all the details of the matter clearly in one breath, in case the Dongling Daoist suddenly heard the bad news and lost his temper, and then when he asked for details, his behavior was uncontrollable, and he was a threat to the three of them, and after saying a word without calling for anger, he felt that his body was tense, and his chest was also slightly floating, saying that he was not nervous was purely deceiving himself, and the scene immediately fell silent with this sentence, and the needle drop could be heard, only the low breath of a few disciples who were responsible for serving tea and water on the side.
"Impossible!" said the Tanglin Daoist after being silent for a long time.
Although he was extremely reluctant to believe the reliability of this news, the reflection of his body had betrayed his true thoughts, and the teacup carved from mutton fat and white jade was directly shattered into powder in his hand, and the hot tea splashed away, shattering into mist in the violent air currents formed on the surface of his body. Then it evaporated, as if the anger in the heart had turned into substance, and the flesh could no longer be restrained.
"I have a fan of ink and water in my hand, and the Cloud Dragon Transformation Technique has been cultivated to the peak of the realm, even if the Jindan Immortal wants to kill him, it is not so easy, how can this Yang Jiye be able to kill him, he can actually harm his life. "The Taoist master of Tanglin is now full of the historical scenes of teaching Qingxuan Dao humanitarianism, he adopted Qingxuan Taoist since he was a child, and then passed on his Taoism, and the relationship between the two is also a master and a father. It also took countless energy and painstaking efforts for it, and from the day of adoption, he began to refine the ink and wash Jiangshan fan, spending countless genius treasures, and then took several years to quench and form with thunder, and spent several years collecting the clouds above the dome, and specially tailored such an ancient spiritual treasure for it.
But the Red Lotus Daoist would never be joking with him this time, and in the message sent back by the Qingxuan Daoist before, it did mention the pursuit and killing of Yang Jiye.
Although he was extremely reluctant to believe the news that the Qingxuan Dao people were killed by Yang Jiye, he had to believe it.
The body of the Daoist of Tanglin trembled violently. I don't know if it's anger or fear, but whatever the reason, his mood swings are extremely strong now, and it took him a long time to gradually calm down. Staring at the Red Lotus Dao Master, he asked word by word, "How did you get this news?" His eyes narrowed into a slit, and the cold light flashed in his eyes, like a fierce beast staring at its prey, as if this Red Lotus Dao person only needed to say a word inappropriately. He was about to show his hideous minions, the death of the Qingxuan Daoist was too weird and gratuitous, and the bad news was still relayed by the Red Lotus Daoist. It's a bit counterintuitive, and she really needs a gap to vent when she's angry.
Although the Red Lotus Daoist was a little nervous, he didn't take his anger in his eyes at all.
This Donglin Dao Master is far higher than her in terms of cultivation, seniority, and current status in the cultivation realm, but he is also a dignified Jindan immortal, how can he be so easy to bully.
The Red Lotus Daoist frowned slightly, and relayed to him what the Xuanji Daoist had told him before.
"In this way, my son died at the hands of Yang Jiye because he was greedy for merit and deserved it. The expression of the Donglin Daoist was a little stunned, and the tone was not good, and the three of them chased and killed Yang Jiye together, but the Qingxuan Daoist was killed, but the two of them were safe and sound, which made him extremely unbalanced in his heart, and there were many doubts, but everything that the Red Lotus Daoist said was flawless, and he had no way to question it, so he could only accumulate his anger on Yang Jiye, and said through gritted teeth:" This Yang Jiye is really unscrupulous, first kill me the first seat of the Yangshan Xiaodongtian Discipline Academy, and then be ruthless to my disciples, the old man has exhausted his life's strength, and he will also break his body into thousands of pieces. β
The anger brewing in my heart was deeper, but it was difficult to vent, and I suddenly thought of something unreasonable.
"How could you hunt down Yang Jiye with my disciple Qingxuan. The voice of the Daoist of Tanglin was a little gloomy, when he asked the Qingxuan Dao people to go to the land of Shuxi, he went to Pengcheng to get the abandoned dragon vein stone pillar, why did he go to hunt down Yang Jiye regardless of priority, and now where is the dragon vein stone pillar, and how did this mysterious Taoist get mixed with him, many questions came to his mind for a while, and even replaced the sadness in his heart.
"That day, I saw the Tanglin master and went to the land of Shuxi, wanting to chase and kill Yang Jiye, looking for a few days in the ghost domain and did not see his trace, or the fluctuations generated by the Guipai Keqing elder Tai Shangdao and his fighting method led me away, which led me to the divine sense, but at that time Yang Jiye had been cut off an arm, Qingxuan Senior Brother was a little light enemy, not waiting for me to dare to rendezvous, I was anxious to chase, as a result, through the sky above Qingyang County, was besieged by 100,000 Yin soldiers led by King Yan, at that time the divine sense contact was blocked, I didn't know that the Yin soldiers besieged Qingxuan Senior Brother and Taishang Daoist, seeing that Yan Wang was powerful, he took a detour, but walked in front, just caught up with Yang Jiye, and followed all the way, made marks along the way, but at that time, I couldn't get in touch with the two senior brothers, and I didn't dare to act rashly. "The Xuanji Daoist opened his mouth to talk about the reason, and she personally told many details, which was much more detailed than the Red Lotus Daoist.
When the Daoist of Donglin heard this, he secretly thought that when the Qingxuan Dao people sent a message to him, they never mentioned the dragon vein stone pillar, but they were in a hurry to chase and kill Yang Jiye and asked him to send someone to help quickly.
At that time, he felt that the Qingxuan Daoist was a little indiscriminate, and he was not very satisfied with his approach, if it were not for the preference of the situation as stated in the letter, and Yang Jiye's killing of the Xuanjie Daoist would also anger him, I was afraid that he would immediately order him to be recalled.
Now I hear that the mysterious Taoist said that he was aggressive. There was no doubt that he was in the same state as he was in the letter.
"Later, the Taishang Taoist assassinated King Yan by fraud, so that the army of dragons was leaderless, and the two were able to get out of trouble, and then traced along the traces left before the next, at that time Yang Jiye had absorbed a large amount of Huangquan Qi, although the injury had not healed, but the strength had been fully recovered, and even stronger than at the beginning, Senior Brother Qingxuan may have been held back by King Yan. There was nowhere to vent, and when he saw Yang Jiye, he rushed up to fight with him, thinking that he was seriously injured, and he didn't know that his strength had recovered to its heyday, and he was exhausted after fighting with the Yin soldiers for a while, he was not an opponent, and he was killed with a sword, and I and the Taishang Daoist didn't even have time to rescue. Xuanji Daoist said.
"You didn't remind me of it?" the Daoist of Tanglin hated it very much.
At that time, Yang Jiye was covered in blood. In the underground cave, he was affected by the earth's core magnetism and the underworld's yin qi, and his divine sense could not be clearly perceived, and I didn't know that his strength had been restored. Qingxuan Daoist looked innocent.
The Daoist of Tanglin looked helpless and painful, although his heart was unbalanced. Why is his disciple dead, this Xuanji Taoist is safe and sound, but it is impossible to attribute all the reasons to the Xuanji Taoist, after all, the murderer is Yang Jiye. If it's not him, if he blindly gets angry with others, he will only ruin the reputation of Yangshan Xiaodongtian. Immediately, he also noticed Zhang Qian, who was sitting on the chair at the end and said nothing, he didn't care about this taciturn stranger before, but now he felt that something was wrong, this Red Lotus Dao person came to the door to report the bad news, how could he bring an idle person with him, it was too disrespectful, and he was suspicious, and asked, "Who is this?"
Without the introduction of the Red Lotus Daoist, Zhang Qian had already stood up and saluted, "The poor Dao is too high, I have seen the Daoist of Dongling." β
In fact, before he signed up for his number, this Tanglin Dao Master had already guessed his identity, but there was some surprise that he would appear with the Red Lotus Dao people.
Now I don't want to ask the reason, and asks: "Is what the mysterious Taoist said true?" β
"This is indeed the case. Zhang Qian nodded, there was no fear in his expression, his demeanor was calm, and he did not shrink his head and tail when he first saw the big man.
The Taoist Daoist waved his hand in a dejected manner, and his own people testified like this, and it was also his own life that should be like this, and said: "I already know the matter, send off the guest." β
The Red Lotus Daoist bowed down to say goodbye with interest, turned to look at Zhang Qian, his mouth opened and closed gently, and his lips could still be understood, which was "asking for more blessings" Four words, he also smiled helplessly, but in front of the Taoist of Tanglin, he also wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, now this old guy seems to be calm, in fact, the anger in his heart has been brewing to the extreme, Zhang Qian didn't want to provoke him for no reason, lowered his head slightly, but saw the toes of the Xuanji Taoist paused in front of his eyes, and then slowly left, thinking that he was worried about himself, and his heart was also quite useful. It wasn't until the surrounding disciples left, that I heard the Donglin Daoist say in a somewhat depressed tone: "Originally, there was a set of formal etiquette procedures for inviting Elder Keqing, but now that the poor Daoist disciple has been killed, he will also hold a dojo and a funeral, and the funeral cannot be done together, so he can only grieve the Taishang Daoist, and it seems that this worship ceremony will be postponed temporarily." β
"It doesn't matter, the dead are greater. Zhang Qian replied humbly.
Slowly raised his head, and saw that the Taoist master of Tanglin looked tired and old, supporting his elbows on the edge of the table, gently rubbing his forehead with his fingers, and looking at him.
"Why didn't you report to me about such an important matter when you returned to Pengcheng, but you went to see the people in Emei Xiaodongtian first. The Daoist of Tanglin asked, there was no reproach in his words, just an ordinary inquiry.
"Although Yang Jiye was seriously injured and escaped, but this person is treacherous and changeable, extremely difficult to deal with, I and the Xuanji Taoist were injured at the time, and I didn't dare to separate, so as not to be broken by Yang Jiye one by one, so we walked together, when I returned to Pengcheng, I wanted to come to the first time to meet the Taoist, but the Xuanji Taoist had to thank me, and I first came to Pengcheng, and I was from Jingzhou, and I didn't know where my Yangshan Xiaodongtian is located now, I want to inquire, but because of some things offended the local practitioners, I can only obey the arrangement of the Xuanji Taoistγ Zhang Qian looked like he couldn't help himself.
When the Daoist Master of Tanglin heard this, the suspicion in his heart was also alleviated a lot, of course, he didn't believe that Zhang Qian had the courage to deceive himself with the people of Emei Xiaodongtian.
I am more confident that this Taishang Daoist has no reason to eat inside and out, Yangshan Xiaodongtian is much stronger than the Emei Sword Sect, and it is harmful to do so.
It's just that Zhang Qian went to Emei first, and then saw himself, this move is indeed a bit unreasonable, and it can be understood if you explain it like this. And he also knew what Zhang Qian was talking about, at that time, in order to relieve Kun Wuzi, he injured a loose cultivator, of course, he didn't tell Zhang Qian that this loose cultivator was actually indirectly obeying him, and at that time, in order to deter the situation, he used the identity of the Yangshan Xiaodong Tiankeqing Elder to make a tiger skin, if he asked everyone about the location of the Yangshan Xiaodong Tiantian station, it was indeed a bit ridiculous and funny, did the Yangshan Xiaodong Tiankeqing Elder not know where his sect was located? If it was him, he would not have asked.
"How did the Xuanji Daoist thank you?" asked the Donglin Daoist casually, seemingly unintentionally. In fact, Zhang Qian's loyalty is in the school.
"First of all, you want to worship me as the guest elder of the Emei Sword Sect. Zhang Qian said truthfully.
"You agreed?" The Daoist of Tanglin was quite surprised, but he didn't expect that the people of the Emei Sword Sect also valued this cheap elder of their own family so much.
Zhang Qian shook his head and said, "I refused." β
The Daoist of Tanglin took a sip of tea, shook his head and sighed: "You don't know how noble the identity of the elder of the Emei Sword Sect is, and the Emei Sword Sect is full of women all over the mountain, all of them are as beautiful as immortals, if the scattered cultivators in the world can get you this opportunity, I am afraid that I will wake up with a smile when I dream, but you actually refused." It's really a bit uninteresting. β
Of course Zhang Qian wouldn't be stupid enough to believe what he said, this old guy seemed to be sincere from the bottom of his heart, but in fact, there were more crooked intestines in his stomach than anyone else, and he said in a sincere tone: "If it was a few months ago. Poor Dao has just broken through and entered the WTO, and in the face of such an invitation, he naturally has no refusal, but Poor Dao is now a guest elder in Yangshan Xiaodongtian. In my opinion, his position as a guest elder in the small cave of Emei Mountain is nothing more than that, and I am not a person without thoughts, this Emei small cave heaven invited me to be a guest elder. Is it sincere, knowing that I have entered the small cave of Yangshan Heavenly Gate, wouldn't this be to trap me in injustice? Naturally, I will not agree. β
These words are very useful to the Taoist master of Tanglin, and indirectly praised the small cave of Yangshan, and showed that he was wise and interesting.
If it weren't for the pain of the bereavement still haunting my heart, I'm afraid I would be smiling at this moment.
The Donglin Dao Lord nodded, and said: "Your refusal like this has not angered the Red Lotus Dao people, this woman is narrow-minded, small-bellied, especially the person who can't see my Yangshan Xiaodongtian, but it will be difficult for you." β
"It's not embarrassing, it's just a trick for me. Zhang Qian shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "That Xuanji Daoist is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, seeing that I refuse the invitation, he is also mindful, and is ready to transfer three thousand pure Yang Dadan from the treasury to thank me for saving my life, if it was before, I naturally have no reason to refuse such a large amount of wealth, but now that I am also the elder of Yangshan Xiaodong Tiankeqing, I should consider the face of Yangshan Xiaodongtian, if it is someone else's mouth, I will take it, wouldn't it seem too utilitarian, so I pretended to shirk it, and as a result, the Red Lotus Daoist held a grudge, and said when he answered. It turned out that the Taishang Daoist was such a high-spirited person, and he didn't want to repay his kindness, but he was really a model for my generation', so the three thousand pure yang pills were sealed by him in the treasury of the Huihui Mansion, and I went with the Emei Sword Sect, ate two bowls of tea, and listened to a few words of thanks, but in fact, I didn't get any benefits. β
Hearing this, the corners of the Donglin Dao Master's mouth couldn't help but pull a smile, this Red Lotus Dao person really did it, the second avenue gate in Shuzhou actually looked at the three thousand Pure Yang Great Dan so much.
Zhang Qian derogated the Emei Sword Sect everywhere, and also reassured the Donglin Daoist Lord one after another, dispelling the last trace of concern in his heart.
It's just that I don't know if the Xuanji Daoist will grit his teeth and curse angrily when he hears what Zhang Qian said about these things that ruin the image of his Emei faction.
"The Emei Sword Sect is actually not as unbearable as you said, Yuheng Sword is highly respected, and his actions are also pleasing and convincing, but this Red Lotus Daoist is narrow-minded, and it is difficult to enter the hall of elegance, you can only consider yourself unlucky when you meet him, and they will teach you a lesson. Although there are some secret fights between the two factions, on the surface, they are the same qi and branches, and they are like one, the Donglin Daoist naturally will not belittle the Emei Sword Sect with Zhang Qian, just take it as a joke casually, and then said: "The Red Lotus Dao people pit you, but I Yangshan Xiaodongtian will not lose you, Xuanji's little girl doesn't want to take 3,000 Pure Yang Dan to thank you for saving your life, you cut Yang Jiye and jumped his arm and seriously injured him, and got rid of the great harm of King Yan, and strengthened my Yangshan Xiaodongtian Prestige, how can my Donglin Dao Lord make people look down on me, so I will reward you with 10,000 Pure Yang Dan." β
Zhang Qian was a little "flattered", stood up in fear, and arched his hand: "The Taoist master doesn't have to be like this, it's all within his bounds." β
"You have not received the slightest favor from my Yangshan Xiaodongtian, but you have made great contributions to my Yangshan Xiaodongtian, you deserve this reward, you don't have to push it away, I Yangshan Xiaodongtian is the first major faction in Shuzhou, this pure Yangshan Dadan can still be taken out. The Daoist of Tanglin waved his hand, and then his expression suddenly turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you can kill Yang Jiye and avenge my apprentice, this reward will be increased tenfold!"
The Daoist of Tanglin has now trusted Zhang Qian, and now there is no one available in his hands, so he can't personally chase and kill Yang Jiye, and he is suspected of bullying the old and the young, for fear of angering the Huangquan Demon Venerable, so he naturally wants him to do it for him.
This person has fought with Yang Jiye many times, has the upper hand, is experienced, and his strength is bound to be not bad, so he is an excellent candidate. (To be continued......)
