Half an hour ago.
Wind and Snow Pavilion.
This place is not far from Chang'an Palace and was also built in the Western Dynasty specifically to receive foreign guests.
However, the facilities are far inferior to Chang'an Palace, so the casual cultivators who came to participate in the Flying Immortal Ceremony were arranged to live here.
After Si Minglan and Qin Gengyun separated, they returned to Fengxue Pavilion.
Just as soon as he entered the door, he saw chaos in the Wind and Snow Pavilion, and countless golden snake guards were searching everywhere with serious expressions.
At this moment, Si Minglan had returned to the appearance of Mingqiu. She was slightly startled, and then continued to walk in calmly.
I happened to meet several female cultivators living in the room next to mine. They were all from Wangyuan Town in Dongxiu.
The girls are young, and the one with the highest level of cultivation is only at the early stage of Jindan. They are lucky to be shortlisted.
They are simple-minded, enthusiastic and cheerful people. They often bring all kinds of food to Si Minglan next door and chat with her.
However, at this time, these chattering and laughing little girls were blocked in the corner by several Golden Snake Guards. One of them, the most beautiful one, was even surrounded by three or four Golden Snake Guards, who were holding their hands.
She wanted to resist, but was suppressed tightly and could not move at all. She turned around and saw Si Minglan, her red eyes full of pleading:
"Sister Ming, save us!"
Si Minglan walked in calmly, as if she hadn't seen him before.
These Golden Snake Guards also saw her, their eyes suddenly lit up, and several of them had already come to stop her.
"The Golden Snake Guards are ordered to search, and those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"
He spoke seriously, but his eyes glanced at Si Minglan unscrupulously.
The appearance of the Ming Chou that Si Minglan transformed into could only be considered above average, but her temperament was delicate, and after practicing the Nine Fox Tail Scroll, she naturally had a bit of charm, which made these Golden Snake Guards covet her.
Si Minglan calmly raised her hands and said, "Sir, why do you want to search us?"
"Young casual cultivator, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
The nearest Golden Snake Guard was already eager to catch Si Minglan in the chest.
Snapped!
The Golden Snake Guard was slapped by Si Minglan and flew away, but no one could see her movements clearly.
With a few clang sounds, the other Golden Snake Guards all drew out their long swords: "How brave, how dare you disobey the Queen's will!"
They all abandoned the three female casual cultivators and attacked Si Minglan.
In just a moment, these Golden Snake Guards all fell to the ground, wailing in pain.
"Thank you, Sister Ming!"
The three female cultivators stepped forward and thanked them with tears in their eyes. But before they could finish their words, a graceful figure wearing a phoenix robe suddenly appeared at the door of Fengxue Pavilion.
A powerful spiritual pressure hit them, and they immediately fell to their knees, and all the bones in their bodies were crackling.
"You, you are."
Blood spilled from the corners of the mouths of the three people, and they looked at the slowly approaching figure in fear.
"Queen of the West?!"
Si Minglan's face changed slightly, and with a thought in her mind, she also made an expression of struggling to resist. She bent her knees, pretending to be unable to withstand the opponent's spiritual pressure.
Behind Lin Yuan were dozens of Golden Snake Guards. She slowly walked up to Si Minglan and the others and said with a smile:
"They are not evildoers. What they did just now was under my instruction. I would like to apologize to the four Taoist friends."
The three female cultivators looked shocked: "Queen, why did you do this?"
Lin Yuan smiled gently and dignifiedly: "Si Mingcheng, the leader of the Golden Snake Guard, died tragically last night. I checked his body and found that the murderer was not a disciple of the sect, but was probably committed by a rogue cultivator. Therefore, I ordered the Golden Snake Guard to deliberately cause trouble in Fengxue Pavilion. As soon as the murderer takes action, I can recognize his technique."
"The actions of these Golden Snake Guards just now are indeed excessive. I hope you three can forgive me."
Lin Yuan's temperament was elegant and noble, and his voice was gentle yet majestic. The resentment of the three female cultivators was immediately gone, and they were no longer in trouble.
Lin Yuan looked at Si Minglan again, with a smile still on his face, but the spiritual pressure on her had not weakened at all:
"This fellow Taoist, haven't you asked your name yet?"
Si Minglan acted as if she could not bear the pressure but was unwilling to kneel down. She gritted her teeth and said, "My name is Mingqiu."
"An open feud?"
Lin Yuan walked up to her, stretched out two fingers to hold her chin, slowly raised it, and looked at her face carefully, her red lips slightly parted:
"Minglan?"
Plop!
Si Minglan finally "couldn't bear" the huge spiritual pressure, so she knelt down with shame and anger on her face:
"The Western Dynasty is holding a flying immortal ceremony to welcome monks from all directions. Why does the Queen want to humiliate me like this?"
Lin Yuan looked at Si Minglan's face carefully and shook his head slowly: "Aren't you her?"
Finally, the huge pressure disappeared, and Si Minglan stood up from the ground with "difficulty", his eyes were red, and he looked like an angry young cultivator after being humiliated.
Lin Yuan smiled and said softly: "I'm sorry, friend Ming, I thought you were an old friend just now, so I tried to test you. I apologize to you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of Fengxue Pavilion. The Golden Snake Guards who were charging freely inside all stopped and followed Lin Yuan out of Fengxue Pavilion.
All this happened so quickly, the casual cultivators were all confused and didn't know what happened.
"These Golden Snake Guards are too much!"
"After all, we are guests of the Western Imperial City, yet we are so rude!"
"Fortunately, Queen West stopped them in time!"
"It's still Queen Mingli of the West."
"It is said that Queen Lin is dignified and upright, and her mother-in-law is the Queen of the West. When I see her today, it is even better than the rumors!"
There were voices of surprise and admiration for Lin Yuan all around. Si Minglan stood up straight with a sneer on his lips.
At this time, a petite and cold figure appeared outside Fengxue Pavilion.
Si Minglan's eyes narrowed, and she walked out of Fengxue Pavilion. She and the figure walked out of Shutiao Street one after another, and stopped opposite a medicine shop.
"Qiu Zhihe, why did you bring me here?"
Qiu Zhihe turned around and said to her: "This medicine shop is the stronghold of my old Qinglian Sect in the Western Imperial City."
Si Minglan was startled and looked at the ordinary drug store opposite, but her mood was a little complicated.
When the Si family was exterminated, she was thrown into the Jiaofang Division and worked as a prostitute. After a miserable experience, she was rescued by her master Sang Yue and brought to the Zhenyang Sect.
From then on, she was a disciple of Zhenyang Sect.
And the Qinglian Sect is naturally her enemy.
However, time has changed, and now she has been expelled from the Zhenyang Sect. What is now in front of her...
But it is the gate of Qinglian Gate.
Want to go in?
"Scared?"
During his hesitation, a cold voice with disdain came to his ears.
Si Minglan turned back and glared at Qiu Zhihe. She was obviously a vixen, but she suddenly felt that this cold and cold woman was even more charming and uneasy.
She snorted coldly: "Why don't you dare?"
After saying that, he strode in.
"What medicinal materials do you two guests want?"
The shopkeeper behind the counter was smiling all over his face. When he saw Qiu Zhihe, his voice stopped and he immediately became extremely respectful. He led the two of them into the back hall and into a courtyard.
There were dozens of people in this courtyard. One of them was a woman dressed in white and holding a snow-white fairy sword. Si Minglan was startled.
"Xiaoxue, why are you here?"
At this time, everyone in the courtyard saluted Qiu Zhihe respectfully:
"Meet the Saint!"
"Saint?!" Si Minglan was stunned, slowly turned back and looked at Qiu Zhihe.
"You, you are."
