The dust has returned to the mountain?
Yu Ye's expression changed slightly and he sat up from the ground.
Chen Qi should be no different from Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi is from Baijia Village, and she still has some hometown feelings with Yujia Village. And that guy is cruel and ruthless by nature. Once he knows that he is in Yuyuguan here, won't he intensify his behavior and do whatever he wants? And how will the face-to-face confrontation that Bai Zhi once promised be carried out? If Chenqi refuses to plead guilty, what can be done to him?
Yu Ye felt a little uneasy.
He knew that his situation was difficult, but he did not expect that it was imminent.
He wanted to ask for the details, but it was inconvenient to ask Guyu; he wanted to find Jiaoying for a countermeasure, but Jiaoying had already said everything he needed to say. He can only face the crisis alone and face everything that is coming.
Yu Ye calmed down and picked up two vials. He poured out more than ten pills and stuffed them into his mouth without looking at them. Then he drank a few sips of water, rubbed his stomach and stood up.
Stepping into the threshold of Qi refining in such a short period of time, these herbs and elixirs were of great help. The medicinal power and efficacy of elixirs are far stronger than those of medicinal herbs.
Yu Ye walked to the entrance of the cave and stretched his head to look.
On the mountain level below, there was not a single disciple from Xuanhuang Mountain in sight.
Yu Ye looked at Guyu beside him, pretending to be curious: "Why is no one practicing today?"
"snort!"
Guyu sat on the stone platform with his back against the stone wall, snorted listlessly and complained: "Not to mention that no one is practicing, even I can't get out of the cliff cave."
"oh?"
"It's not because of Senior Brother Chenqi. The fellow Taoists he brought ran rampant on the mountain, which made the senior brothers and sisters quite dissatisfied. Senior Sister Bai Zhi was afraid of causing trouble, so she advised her disciples to avoid it and ordered me to seal the cliff cave and not allow outsiders to approach. , and I’m not allowed to leave even half a step without permission.”
"Sealed the cliff cave?"
"Yes, I will live here with you for the next half month."
"You and I are in the same room?"
"Hey, you're not happy?"
Yu Ye shook his head and saw Gu Yu take out two small bottles from his arms, shook them, and said: "Senior sister has prepared all your elixirs, and I have also prepared two bottles of Bigu Pills to prevent starvation."
Not far from the entrance of the cave, there were indeed the mat and a long sword he brought.
Yu Ye was silent for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Where is Chenqi and others?"
"I heard he went to Qianshan."
"Qianshan?"
"The location of Master's cave."
"Where's Bai Zhi?"
"Master has not yet left seclusion, and his senior sister will accompany him to protect him."
Guyu answered a few words in succession, expecting to say: "Why bother meddling in other people's business? Let me tell you some interesting stories about your hunting..."
Yu Ye said tiredly: "I'm tired."
Gu Yu was also considerate, waved her hand and said: "Yeah, your injury is not healed, please help yourself!"
Yu Ye turned and walked away.
He returned to the mattress and sat down, with a stern look on his haggard face.
The brief conversation with Guyu suddenly made him feel that the crisis in front of him was a little more serious, as if a storm was about to come, but the power of the sky was unpredictable. And he could only resign himself to fate, otherwise what could he do?
Yu Ye let out a long sigh, and his mind gradually calmed down. He clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, closed his eyes slightly, and concentrated.
When Gu Yu saw Yu Ye breathing and breathing, he smiled disapprovingly, but there was no one to talk to, and he felt bored. He simply opened the mattress and sat cross-legged in silence...
…
The main peak of Xuanhuang Mountain.
On a sunny cliff, there were also people sitting in meditation. Among them were Chen Qi, Bai Zhi, and eight Xuanhuang Mountain disciples. There were also four middle-aged men, who were obviously fellow Taoists from outside based on their appearance and attire.
Under the cliff is a cave. The entrance to the cave was shrouded in fog, and the situation was unclear for a while.
Everyone was sitting around the entrance of the cave, like a gathering of Taoist friends. However, the scene was not harmonious. Instead, the two sides were clearly distinct, and there was a vague tendency of confrontation.
On one side are Bai Zhi and eight Xuanhuang Mountain disciples, guarding the entrance of the cave with solemn expressions; on the other are four outside Taoist friends, with arrogant and arrogant expressions. But Chen Qi was like a middleman, speaking to comfort both parties from time to time.
"Junior sister, Brother Bu Yi and three of his comrades came to visit Master. It's so powerful that it's hard to refuse!"
"Master is still in seclusion and doesn't see outsiders."
"Even if Master goes into seclusion, you and I can't turn others away..."
"Haha, this is the way of hospitality in Xuanhuang Mountain? The four of us came here because of its reputation. We will never go down the mountain without seeing our master. Otherwise, where is our face?"
"As a master from Qizhou, how can you not be unreasonable, Taoist Brother Bu Yi? You and three of your fellow Taoists forced your way up the mountain and wantonly humiliated my Taoist disciples. Now you are using your master to retreat, and you are so messy..."
"Junior sister, there is no need to be angry, and please forgive me, Brother Bu!"
Chen Qi hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.
Bai Zhi, who was sitting next to him, had her face uncovered, which showed that her face was as cold as ice. The eight Xuanhuang Mountain disciples behind her also had angry faces.
The Taoist brother Bu Yi mentioned by Chen Qi was a middle-aged man with a short beard, wearing a leather robe, lean and unattractive. The other three middle-aged men were all dressed as hunters in the mountains, but they all had fierce faces and unkind expressions.
Chenqi raised his hands to gesture left and right, then looked at Bu Yi and said, "It is a coincidence that Brother Bu came to Xuanhuang Mountain to visit me during my master's retreat. It is really disrespectful. Brother Bu might as well wait here for a few seconds." Wait for the master to come out of seclusion. If not, I can only respectfully send Brother Bu and three Taoist friends down the mountain." He looked at Bai Zhi again, looking very embarrassed, and added with a wry smile: "Although my Xuanhuang Mountain is not as good as the famous mountain Dachuan, however, has room for people. So what's the harm in asking four Taoist friends to stay here for a few days?" He then put away his smile and said sternly: "Several Taoist friends please stop harassing my Taoist disciples. Otherwise, junior sister and I will never agree!"
Bai Zhi said anxiously: "Senior brother..."
Bu Yi nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Guests can do as they please!" He looked at the three companions and said: "The Taoist sect has its own rules, so I don't dare to offend. Let's wait until fellow Taoist Hong Gu comes out of seclusion. , form a predestined relationship, seek good results, and then you and I will say goodbye and leave!"
His companions seemed to be reasonable, or had a tacit understanding with each other, and responded in unison: "I will follow what fellow Taoist Chenqi said!"
Chen Qi repeatedly bowed his hands and saluted, expressing his gratitude. He also glanced at Bai Zhi and said comfortingly: "I will protect the Dharma here, don't worry!"
Bai Zhi was eager to speak out and was speechless at this time.
…
Five days later.
Yu Ye continued to meditate where he was without raising his buttocks. He only occasionally stretched his waist and stretched out his fingers to poke left and right, as if imitating sword skills. Then he swallowed a few bottles of pills and continued to breathe and breathe.
Guyu did not change his lively and active nature, either punching, kicking, practicing swordsmanship, or walking around in the cave to pass the boring time. I wanted to find someone to talk to to relieve my boredom, but no one paid attention to him. When he walked in front of Yu Ye again, he couldn't help being startled.
"The elixir is gone?"
The bamboo box on the ground was empty, and twenty or thirty bottles of pills were gone.
"There are enough elixirs for more than half a month, but you used them all in just five days?"
Guyu was surprised.
Yu Ye still lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Guyu stretched out his hand and shook it, and asked in confusion: "Are you in trance, or are you ignoring me on purpose? You don't know how to regulate your breath, how can you meditate and enter trance? Could it be that you overdosed on the elixir, and something happened to you? Hey? , wake up—”
When you enter samadhi after performing the exercises, there is no breath in your mouth and nose, and your body becomes a world of its own. This is a state that can only be achieved by acquired masters. But only innate masters can stay in concentration for a long time. It is obviously unreasonable for an Orion who knows nothing to sit quietly like this for several days.
Yu Ye still turned a deaf ear and made no move.
"Huh?"
Guyu wanted to push Yuye to wake him up, but he was afraid it would be inappropriate. Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard someone sneer: "Haha, he is pretending to be dead!"
Before the laughter stopped, a young man appeared in the cave.
The door of Moya Cave has been sealed, and he came through the entrance. The cliff outside the cave is more than thirty feet high.
Guyu said in astonishment: "Senior Brother Chenqi..."
Sure enough, it was Chen Qi. He ignored Gu Yu and calmly brushed off the dust on his body, saying proudly: "If it weren't for Junior Sister's help, I still wouldn't be able to find this boy."
"Yu Ye..."
Guyu looked back.
He was indifferent in the wild, sitting upright as before.
"Boy, you can't escape my grasp after all!"
Chenqi looked proud and walked straight over.
"Senior Sister Bai Zhi ordered that no one should harm Yu Ye."
Gu Yu did not forget his duty and hurriedly reached out to stop him.
"Do you listen to Bai Zhi, or do you listen to your senior brother and me?"
Chen Qi was forced to stop, a little annoyed.
"Senior sister confessed that she acted under the orders of her master. As a disciple, senior brother, how dare you disobey..."
Gu Yu was stubborn and refused to give in.
The word 'disobedience' seemed to touch Chen Qi's pain. His expression suddenly changed, he waved his hand and shouted: "Things who don't know how to lift, get out of here -"
Gu Yu couldn't help but take two steps back, with fear on his face, but still stood in front of Yu Ye, and bravely begged: "Brother, don't let this little brother be in trouble!"
Chen Qi said nothing, raised his hand and struck out a sword light.
Guyu was stunned.
He never imagined that a fellow disciple whom he knew well and respected would kill someone just because of their disagreement with each other. But in the blink of an eye, the sword light was already in front of him. But he froze in place like a fool, with no time to escape.
Just when he was desperate, he was suddenly pushed out, and with a "dang" sound, the sharp sword light rolled back.
Guyu rushed out a few feet and stumbled to his feet. When he looked back, he was shocked again.
Yu Ye, who had been sitting still, stood up at some point and took a few steps back. His arms and the bamboo stick in his hand were still trembling slightly.
Did Yu Ye save him?
Did Yu Ye use his bamboo stick to block his senior brother's sharp sword?
At the same time, Chen Qi couldn’t help but exclaimed——
"Huh?"
The once familiar mountain boy stood three feet away, but he became a little strange. His Taoist robe, stern expression, calm eyes, and long and restrained aura made him look like a master of Taoism. Especially the way he held the bamboo stick was vaguely like a sword move. And he had no cultivation in his body, so how could he block his sword?
Chen Qi suddenly turned his head to look at Gu Yu and asked sternly: "Who taught him swordsmanship?"
Gu Yu was shocked and said: "He observes and practices every day, and cultivates and enlightens himself..."
This outer disciple of Xuanhuang Mountain felt aggrieved and scared at the same time. He was ordered to guard the cliff cave, and he was not at fault. And senior brother Chenqi not only attacked him, but also killed Yu Ye. Although he couldn't figure out the reason, he knew that Yu Ye was in danger.
"Teach yourself swordsmanship?"
Chen Qi had a sneer on his face, raised his arm, and the long sword buzzed, and the sword light flickered. He turned to look at Yu Ye and said with murderous intent: "Boy, I know you have many tricks, but no one can save you today!"
Yu Ye, standing with a bamboo stick in hand, no longer panicked or evaded.
For five whole days, he was busy practicing, swallowing pills, and absorbing the spiritual energy in the pills. Even if Gu Yu talked to him again and again, he had no time to pay attention. However, when Chen Qi broke into the cliff cave, his spiritual consciousness was aware of it, so he secretly took precautions and rescued Gu Yu in time.
After three or four months, I finally saw Chenqi again.
But there was no confrontation and justice between the two sides as Bai Zhi said, and there was no turning point as expected. There was only a confrontation between life and death, and there was no way out...
