Five days passed by in a blink of an eye. Jing Xianzhuo flew over from the sect without waiting for Ling Zelan's message. Unexpectedly, he just happened to catch up. The shopkeeper of the jade shop opposite came to deliver the goods, so he cleaned up and everyone went up. I saw Jing Xianzhuo’s flying boat.
Ling Zelan looked at the high-spirited Azhuo beside him and asked worriedly:
"Did that seductress Jing Can give you any difficulties regarding your recruitment of disciples?"
"No, it should be said that I dared to come over before she could react." Jing Xianzhuo took Ling Zelan's slender hand and explained softly.
"Jing Can? Is he the current leader?" Qi Guanyu asked. In the twenty-seven years since he left, some things have changed.
"Yes, when you were still here, she was the peak master of the water mountain. In fact, she also has another identity, that is, the mistress of old thief Situ -" Jing Xianzhuo casually released a shocking big melon.
"..." Yan Feiyue felt that her three views were completely shattered. Situ Si was really outrageous. Not only did he raise his concubine in a second-rate sect, but he also let his concubine become the leader. How unscrupulous was that? Be known!
"Jing Can shouldn't have reached the realm of refining the void, right?" Qi Guanyu got to the point.
"No, she has a fifth-level Mahayana cultivation. Now I think that Situ Si gave her the position of headmaster as compensation for the dual cultivation -" Jing Xianzhuo dropped another shocking thing.
"Jing Can, with a single spiritual root of the water system and fifth level Mahayana, can indeed match the old thief Situ." Qi Guanyu said disdainfully.
"That's right!" Ling Zelan sighed inwardly.
"As expected, Jing Can should be on her way to the first-class sect, Jinghong Sect now. Fellow Daoist Qi and Fellow Daoist Yan must go through the process of testing their spiritual roots when they join the sect. What is she doing here and there? It will take almost two months, so the spiritual root test will take place in two months -" Jing Xianzhuo hesitated.
"At that time, Situ Si will come secretly and witness Guan Yu's spiritual root test with his own eyes -" Yan Feiyue looked at Qi Guanyu, the worry in her eyes nowhere to be hidden.
"Don't worry, he won't take action blatantly. He will definitely make arrangements before taking action. This period is the best stage for us to collect evidence." Qi Guanyu gently hugged Yan Feiyue and comforted him.
"The best time to take action is probably in the secret realm of Jinghong Gate, and the secret realm will not be opened for more than two years, so we still have plenty of time -" Ling Zelan said.
"No -" Jing Xianzhuo shook his head and said:
"Two years is still too long. There are many uncertain factors. It is possible for a disciple to change his sect, make a name for himself, defect and run away. With the current situation of old thief Situ, he will only take advantage of the fact that fellow Daoist Xiahou is still weak. If he takes action when the time comes, he will also worry that things will change if it is too late.”
"Could he do it outside?" Yan Feiyue asked uncertainly. Wouldn't the risk of Situ Si's exposure be higher in this way?
"It's really hard to say -" Qi Guanyu was not sure about this matter.
"It's okay. I will pay close attention to Jing Can's movements in the past two years. They are in the light and we are in the dark. There are always more opportunities." Jing Xianzhuo said.
"Then when Guan Yu and I join Jinghongmen, can we meet the third uncle and three aunt of the Qi family?" Yan Feiyue asked.
"I can't see them. They live with the leader on the main peak, and they have been claiming to the outside world that they are in seclusion. I found out about the pregnancy when I sneaked into the main peak while Jing Can was away and looked for evidence -" Jing Xianzhuo touched his nose. , said with some embarrassment.
Ling Zelan noticed that Yan Feiyue looked at her fiancé in the wrong way, and quickly explained:
"Isn't that true? Jinghongmen's strength is not as bad as you think. In fact, only the most trusted people of Situ Si live on the main peak. There are only Jing Can of the fifth level of Mahayana, and Jing Dan, the deputy head of the second level of Mahayana. .
Jing Dan was a debauched person who only knew how to have fun and enjoy himself when no one controlled him. As for the direct disciples who lived on the main peak, most of them were like Qi Guan Yu, who was used by Situ Si and others to do business - —”
"I have an idea -" When Yan Feiyue heard this, her thoughts suddenly became clear.
"Tell me and listen -" Qi Guanyu encouraged.
"We can gather all the family members of the missing monks to Jinghongmen and force Situ Si to attack Guan Yu as soon as possible. It has always been busier and more chaotic, and our chances of winning will be greater.
After Situ Si is executed, he must give everyone an explanation. It is better for these affected families to personally participate than hearsay, and there will be no future troubles.
After this incident, Jinghongmen's vitality was seriously damaged. It was the time when monks were urgently needed to fill the vacancies, but it was not yet time for the recruitment meeting to be held on Zhongda Road, so it could not recruit disciples on a large scale.
Sect Leader Jing can give one or two compensation places to the families of these missing monks. I think everyone is willing to settle the matter. Second-level sects are placed in the enrollment conference, and it does not mean that anyone can enter if they want to. "Yan Feiyue expressed her thoughts.
Jing Xianzhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this. This idea couldn't be better, so he quickly said:
"Fellow Daoist Yan, this method is feasible. In the final analysis, it is the negligence of our Jing family that allowed the enemy to take advantage of us. It is appropriate to make some compensation to the relatives of the victims.
I will take advantage of Jingcan's absence to further explore the situation on the main peak, and by the way, test the attitude of the elders of other peaks. "
"Azhuo, in this case, I won't go to Jinghongmen with you for now. I will go to the lower realm to contact the families of those monks.
If something happens to you, or if there are additions to the missing list later, you can send the message to the office in the mainland, and I will reply as soon as I receive it. "Ling Zelan said as he stood up and was about to leave.
Jing Xianzhuo looked at his girl, who became full of life again, and was very happy, but still worried and said:
"Then please be safe on this trip. The Qi family and the Ling family will all be disciples of the same sect from now on. You go down this time and resolve all the grievances between the Xiahou family, the Ling family, and the Qi family!"
Although the Ling family is a family in the Outer Continent, after Qi Guanyu disappeared, the Ling family had no scruples in suppressing them. The Xiahou family, who is also a family in the Outer Continent, naturally offended the Qi family in the Inner Continent. After all, Xiahou The family is both an in-law family of the Qi family and a subsidiary family of the Qi family.
In the future, if we are in the same sect and we look down but don't look up, it will not be conducive to harmony and progress, right?
"I will resolve the grudges, but I will only bring in my third sister Lingze Baihe and her Taoist companions. The sect already has my second brother Ling Huiyan and my second sister Ling Zegui, and these are enough.
As for the other members of the Ling family, forget about it. If there are monks with both ability and political integrity in the future, they will be recruited—" Ling Zelan looked at Jing Xianzhuo and said with firm eyes.
She will never forget the robbery at the baby-birth ceremony hundreds of years ago. Her Azhuo was injured trying to save her, but her family would just go along with the flow, step on her back, and enjoy wealth and glory. , these people are not worthy of her efforts at all.
"Okay -" Jing Xianzhuo looked at Alan with tears in his eyes and felt heartbroken. For her, he could ignore the Ling family's betrayal and shake hands to make peace, but she didn't want to make him feel wronged. She always knew , how to make him love her more.
"It will take half a year for me to travel to the lower world ship, and it will take another year to come up. You should also control the time -" Ling Zelan said.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, don't be in a hurry. You go to Fulinmen first and tell my master about this. They should have a way to shorten your sailing time." Yan Feiyue said.
"Okay, I'll go right away -" As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Zelan flew out of the spirit boat with his sword.
As expected, Jing Xianzhuo, Qi Guanyu, and Yan Feiyue entered Jinghong Gate unimpeded and landed on a mountain peak on the outermost side.
"I am the only one who lives on this peak, so there are not many houses built, so there are only two houses that are unused. You can use one as a bedroom and the other as a training room!" Jing Xianzhuo pointed to the top. Five large rooms on the ground.
"..." Yan Feiyue saw how desolate the mountain was, and had to sigh for the only orthodox bloodline of the Jing family.
"Then we're welcome--" Qi Guanyu nodded in understanding.
"It should be——" Jing Xianzhuo waved his hand and went back to his room.
Yan Feiyue chose the westmost room first and went in. The decoration in the house was simple, the colors were light and elegant, and three rooms were separated by screens.
One room has futons and bookcases, suitable for practicing Kung Fu; the other has bookcases and bookshelves, which can be used for alchemy, weapon refining, talisman painting, and formation; the middle room is used for entertaining guests and drinking tea.
Qi Guanyu entered a room on the east side. All the furnishings in the room were made of fine spiritual wood, and three rooms were separated by light-colored screens.
The innermost room is a clean room, which is perfect for bathing and changing clothes; then there is the bedroom, which has a low bed and a dressing table for women; and the outermost room is a small lounge, which is best for relaxing. but.
It's a very nice room, probably prepared by Jing Xianzhuo for Ling Zegui. This is the tenderness that Qi Guanyu and Yan Feiyue saw in each other's eyes after they came out separately. They were both moved by the love between these two people.
There are no years in the mountains, and the two of them didn't know the situation at Jinghong Gate, so they didn't act rashly. After An Xin retreated for a month, there was finally a knock on the door of the practice room.
"Please come in-" Qi Guanyu said loudly.
"Squeak-" The door was pushed open, and Jing Xianzhuo walked in carrying a tray.
The three of them sat at a low table and drank.
Seeing that neither of them was planning to speak, Jing Xianzhuo could only say:
"This month, I have explored the main peak again to make sure that nothing is missing from the list. However, I found that there is a disciple with gold and fire spiritual roots who is being guarded very strictly. The day when I want to trade with him is coming soon. "
"We must save this monk, but we can't expose him, otherwise we will definitely alert him." Qi Guanyu frowned and said.
"However, we don't know the time and place of the transaction, nor do we know the identity or cultivation level of the person who came here?" What Yan Feiyue was thinking was that the person must be saved, but it would be best if he could still be saved. evidence.
