Lakeside.
Most of the stone staircase has been built, but the lake embankment still needs to be reinforced and a stone road paved around it. It will not be completed in three to five years.
Mu Sha and Shang Xin lost their hoes and hammers and sat aside to rest. Angelica Yi held a bamboo pole and took Hong Qiaoer fishing by the lake.
Only Yu Ye was hitting the rocks, and the sound of "ding-dong-dang-dang" could be heard far away.
"Junior brother Yu, come here and take a rest."
"Junior Brother Yu, the errands you and I are doing are nothing more than training our minds. We should not rush things for a while."
"Um!"
Yu Ye listened to Mu Sha and Shang Xin's persuasion, threw away the hammer, walked to sit next to the two of them, and said impatiently: "Such a boring day is really boring, why not go down the mountain and have some fun."
"Junior brother Yu, you just started here a few days ago and you want to go down the mountain, but the senior brother in charge doesn't agree."
"I'll just sneak out quietly."
"Shh-"
Mu Sha had a simple and honest appearance. He waved his hand in a hurry and tried to dissuade him: "Junior brother Yu, you don't dare to violate the rules of the sect."
Shang Xin shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Junior brother Yu doesn't know that although the Immortal Sect covers an area of hundreds of miles, it is full of formation restrictions. Don't say that you can't escape. Once caught by the patrolling disciples, you will definitely be punished. Severe punishment, I advise you to think twice.”
"Just saying it casually, not seriously."
Yu Ye pretended to be joking and took out a jar of wine.
"Invite you two to drink!"
Mu Sha and Shang Xin's eyes suddenly lit up. One took the wine jar, and the other brought a few pottery bowls.
Angelica lost no time in running over, grabbed a bowl of wine, and praised: "Oh, what a good wine!"
Yu Ye turned and walked to the lake.
On the lake, the wind rippled, just like his mood at this time.
Ever since I saw Bai Zhi yesterday, I was shocked and angry, but also anxious. But nothing happened today, and no elders from the Immortal Sect came to trouble him.
Bai Zhi will definitely find Chen Qi and tell the truth. Is it because the two of them haven't figured out a countermeasure yet, or they haven't had time to report it to the Immortal Sect?
But there was no dust rising from Chuan Gong Cliff yesterday. Where is that guy hiding and why doesn't he show up?
After asking around, we learned that if you escape from the Immortal Sect, you may be able to succeed, but the risk is extremely high. Especially now that the situation is unclear, it is difficult to act rashly.
"How dare you drink alcohol here? It's unreasonable!"
With a shout, Mu Hu appeared on the lake embankment. There was also a man accompanying him, in his thirties, with an unshaven beard, a wrinkled blue robe, and a humble and flattering smile on his face.
Dang Guiyi, Musa and Shang Xin hurriedly put away the wine jars and each picked up hoes and hammers.
Hong Qiao'er also dropped the bamboo pole and said with a shy smile: "I'm just waiting for a short nap, Senior Brother Mu, please calm down!"
"snort!"
Mu Hu stood unsteadily, rolled his eyes and said: "This is the disciple who just started today, Zhan Kun!" He shook his chin again and said: "Zhan Kun, get along well with the senior brothers and junior brothers. If you don't understand anything, , please ask for more advice and report more." He waved his hand, turned around and walked away.
"I've met all senior brothers and sisters!"
Zhan Kun is not young and his cultivation is not high. He only has the third level of Qi refining. He greeted everyone one by one and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm new here, please give me some advice!"
Dang Guiyi exchanged glances with Mu Sha and Shang Xin, and asked curiously: "Today, do you want to join the Immortal Sect?"
Zhan Kun looked around and said hesitantly, "I couldn't find anyone to recommend, so I collected a few spiritual stones, and just now..."
Angelica smiled and said, "Hey, you didn't bribe Senior Brother Mu Hu to sneak into the Immortal Sect, right?"
Zhan Kun's face changed slightly and he said hurriedly: "Oh, I don't dare to say nonsense, I don't dare to say nonsense!"
"That's it!"
Angelica said generously: "You came a few days late, and it's hard to do things right. I leave this section of the road to you, go to work——"
"Uh-huh!"
Although Zhan Kun looked useless, he was quite obedient, so he rolled up his sleeves, picked up his hoe, and started working hard.
Dang Guiyi, Mu Sha, Shang Xin and Hong Qiaoer looked at each other and smiled.
This is called bullying.
Several people are working together to tease Zhan Kun.
The Jianghu is like this, and so is the Immortal Sect.
Yu Ye turned around and sat down, picked up the hammer and continued to hit his rocks.
The time limit for Yunchuan Immortal Sect to recruit disciples is one month. There will be new disciples arriving one after another, so Zhan Kun's appearance is not surprising.
The strange thing is that this Zhan Kun seems to be honest and honest, but he knows the evil ways.
And if he had known that it was so easy to sneak into the Immortal Sect, why would he be so anxious to get angry in the wild?
Finish work at noon.
Yu Ye went to the kitchen, took a few dried fruits, and returned to the cave alone.
Maybe it was dinner time, but not many people were seen on the mountain. The caves among the cliffs, cliffs, and trees are the caves of the outer sect disciples. They look like beehives or rat holes. They seem to be less mysterious than the immortal sect and more unusual.
Yu Ye followed the stone stairs and came to the east side of the mountainside.
In front of the door of his cave, a woman stood quietly. Although times have changed, her figure is still pretty and graceful.
Yu Ye's feet paused, his face twitched, he couldn't help but look behind him, a chill flashed in his eyes.
There is no one near or far.
Under the midday sun, there were only him and her, more than ten feet apart, looking at each other.
Yu Ye lowered his head and continued to move forward.
He walked to the door of the cave, removed the restrictions, and walked in. Realizing that someone was following him into the cave, he took a step away, sealed the cave door with his backhand, and used the opportunity to cast the spell and wave his sleeves. A figure flew through the air and he reached out to catch it. He was about to activate the sword technique, but couldn't help but his fingers trembled.
Bai Zhi, who was once aloof, was now trapped by his "Heavenly Forbidden Technique". Her feet were off the ground and pressed against the stone wall. She didn't struggle at all, but looked helpless to get what she wanted.
"you……"
Yu Ye's thick eyebrows stood up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You said...where is Chenqi?"
Bai Zhi did not answer, but her face was slightly red, her expression was silent, and her eyes were filled with tears.
"Where is Chenqi and why did you lie to me? You should tell me——"
Yu Ye still couldn't help roaring.
Two tears fell down her cheeks, and Bai Zhi finally said with difficulty: "Kill...kill me!"
Yu Ye suddenly let go and took two steps back, but his anger did not diminish. He waved his hand and said, "If you don't tell the truth today, I will never forgive you!"
"Ahem——"
Bai Zhi's feet landed on the ground. Although it was difficult to move, she gasped for breath. Her limbs were restrained, and she was almost suffocated by a strong force. After a while, she finally took a breath and her face gradually returned to normal. Then she asked with lingering fear: "What is the truth?"
Yu Ye raised his eyebrows and said word by word: "You lied to me to go to Lingjiao Town and put me in a tight siege. Is it true? You betrayed your trust, colluded with Chenqi, and took refuge in Yunchuan Xianmen. Is it true? I If you want to know the whole story and where Chen Qi is hiding now, don’t lie to me anymore and please answer truthfully!”
"oh……"
Bai Zhi seemed to be deep in thought and said to herself: "I was waiting for you in Lingjiao Valley, but you didn't come. I had no choice but to leave. After arriving at Lingjiao Town, I found out that you had destroyed the inn and had gone away. This is the truth, why should I lie to you..." "Humph!"
Yu Ye snorted coldly and turned around.
Bai Zhi continued: "I had nowhere to go for a while, and happened to find the Taoist secret mark left by Chen Qi, so I followed it all the way and accidentally found his hiding place. I wanted to wait for an opportunity to take revenge, but he was eager to leave Daze. I weighed it up , followed him to Qizhou, and on Bu Yi's recommendation, we worshiped together at the Yunchuan Immortal Sect..."
"Haha, don't you want revenge? How could you become brothers and sisters with Chen Qi again?"
"Just like at the beginning, you regarded Xuanhuang Mountain as your enemy, but why didn't you want to join the Taoist sect? Just like now, aren't you also a disciple of the Yunchuan Immortal Sect?"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. Only when you have achieved success can you take revenge."
"In that case, how can you blame me harshly?"
"this……"
"I am in a foreign country, with no relatives, and it is difficult to take revenge for a while. It can be said that my days are like years. I don't want to see you again, it is like a dream, but you treat me like an enemy..."
Before Bai Zhi's words stopped, tears fell again, but it was hard to tell the truth and lies in the tears.
"call--"
Yu Ye let out a long breath, put away his sword skills, crossed his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Did you take the Chen family's ship to come to Qizhou this year?"
"The ship I boarded with Chenqi was rented for him with a large sum of money. I arrived a year earlier than you."
"Where's Chenqi?"
"My cave and his are located in the front mountain. He now only wants to worship at the inner gate, and he practices very hard, so he often retreats, and I can't see him."
"Does the Immortal Sect know that you two are from Daze?"
"Chen Qi is a smart and meticulous person. He lied about coming from an overseas island. Before Bu Yi returns, no one knows the true origins of the two of us."
"I want to see how alert he is!"
"He is now at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and you are no match for him! Besides, the sect has strict rules. I advise you not to rush but to be patient..."
"snort!"
Yu Ye snorted again, couldn't help but close his eyes, and frowned deeply.
The anger in his heart had disappeared unconsciously, but the depression lingered, making him tangled and uneasy. Although she was angry at Bai Zhi's deception, she also suffered losses and was deceived many times. Now when confronted, he was unable to accuse. Is it the other party's eloquence or his stubbornness? Right and wrong are difficult to decide at the moment. And his anxiety and worry still exist because of Chen Qi's existence.
"Yelan... Yu uncle's spiritual place..."
The magic power of the Heavenly Forbidden Technique disappeared, Bai Zhi lost her restraints, wiped away the tears on her face, took two steps forward, took out the incense candle and placed it in front of the spiritual tablet.
"The incense candle is used by me to worship my master, and today I use it to worship my uncle!"
Yu Ye opened his eyes.
Angelica dahurica placed the incense burner, lit three incense sticks, put the remaining incense candles aside, and then bowed to the spiritual throne.
Yu Ye sighed secretly, raised his hand and said in return: "Thank you on behalf of my father!"
Both Yujia Village and Baijia Village belong to Lingjiao Town, so he and Bai Zhi are from the same hometown. Reunion in a foreign country, regardless of grudges, is worthy of some emotion.
Bai Zhi looked at the furnishings of the cave, nodded slightly, then turned her bright eyes to look at Yu Ye up and down.
"Well, you've grown taller and stronger."
Yu Ye lowered his head and remained silent.
"What's the current situation in Daze, and how did you get here?"
"It's hard to describe in words!"
"Come and listen!"
It seemed vaguely that she was back to the past again, even Bai Zhi's words and demeanor were the same as yesterday. Only Yu Ye's eyes became deeper, and there was a condensed look between his eyebrows...
