early morning.
Yu Ye opened the door.
He changed into the Taoist robe given by the Ji family. It was made of silk material, soft and close to the body, with long flowing sleeves. Coupled with his tall and straight body, he had a somewhat noble air.
Well, master of talisman refining!
Accidentally, he became a well-known master of talisman refining. However, the art of talismans comes from family tradition, so he does not understand the refining method of ordinary talismans. In a word, he only refined the talisman for his own use and did not have the ability to help his fellow disciples, so Mo Xiao and Jiao Yu gave up the idea of letting him refine the talisman. Leng Chen accused him of being ignorant and stingy, and he nodded in acquiescence.
In the courtyard, Leng Chen, Bian Ji and others were talking, and other disciples kept showing up, either adjusting their clothes, stretching their muscles, or saying hello to each other.
According to Mo Xiao's instructions, we rushed to Xuanli Gate today.
Xuanlimen and Feiyu Village are five hundred miles apart, a day and a half's journey away. We set off at noon today and can reach the place tomorrow evening.
It's still some time before departure.
Yu Ye had nothing to do, so he walked through the courtyard and came outside.
It was just when the sun was rising, but the surrounding mountains were fresh, the flowers in front of me were fragrant, and there were even ponds with weeping willows and sparkling water, full of spring.
Alas, the weather is so beautiful, but it is necessary to commit murder and arson.
Perhaps it is as Leng Chen said, there is no way for misfortunes and blessings, it can only be brought about by oneself. Killing to pay for one's life and debts to pay back money are also natural and right. Since the Xuanli Sect has caused trouble, it should bear the due price.
And he killed so many immortal disciples in the wild, what kind of retribution should he receive?
Yu Ye shook his head and strolled leisurely.
In the past two days, he had obtained a hundred spiritual stones and refined more than twenty armor-breaking talismans. He was in a really good mood and looked at the flowers and grass with a bit more color.
But I saw two pretty figures standing among the flowers. They were Angelica dahurica and Cheju. Although the two sisters are monks, they still cannot change their daughter's beauty-loving nature.
Yu Ye walked to the pergola in the flower garden.
The warm breeze blows on my face, adding a bit of interest. He couldn't help but take out a jar of wine, and wanted to use the wine to express his feelings. After a moment's hesitation, he put away the jar of wine.
I don’t know when I started to fall in love with wine. This is all Leng Chen's instigation. Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Who makes that senior fellow drinker like a man?
Speaking of people who are addicted to alcohol, there is also Gui Yuanzi.
And that Taoist priest Guiyuan has long since passed away...
"Junior brother, two junior sisters——"
As a call came, Ling Chen appeared in front of the backyard door.
"The journey is about to begin, don't go too far. Where is Ming Ye? Does anyone know where he is going?"
Bai Zhi and Che Ju walked back, claiming that they had not seen Ming Ye.
Yu Ye disagreed.
Ming Ye's leg injury has not healed, so he did not participate in the Xuanlimen trip. And he was supposed to stay in the room to recuperate, so how could he disappear?
In a flash of thought, two sword lights rushed into the air, and it turned out that Mo Xiao and Jiao Yu were flying towards the surrounding mountains and forests on their swords. Leng Chen and a group of Immortal Sect disciples then poured out of the courtyard, obviously looking for someone everywhere.
Watching in the wild under the pergola.
Another sword light flew into the air, it was Master Ji. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen men appeared in Feiyu Manor, all of them were Qi Refining monks, and they also joined the search for someone.
Was a living person really lost?
What was Ming Ye up to? Was he hiding on purpose because he was worried that he would settle a score with him, or was he quietly returning to Qi to find his master?
Yu Ye Shang guessed that the three sword lights went away and came back. In the blink of an eye, Jiao Yu, Mo Xiao, and Master Ji fell from the sky.
"boom--"
A dead body fell in front of the backyard door.
Mingye?
Judging from his clothes and appearance, he couldn't be Ming Ye. However, a bloody hole exploded in his waist and abdomen, and he had already died of anger.
Yu Ye was shocked and hurried out of the pergola.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect and the Ji family also gathered, and they were all dumbfounded.
Then I heard Jiao Yu say: "I found Ming Ye's remains in the forest a mile away. He was hit by a fatal sword in Qi Hai in the waist and abdomen. I don't know if it was done by an outsider!"
Everyone looked at it intently.
Then I heard Pu Tong say: "Why did Junior Brother Ming go out alone so early in the morning..."
Chen Qi echoed: "It must have been done by an acquaintance, who lured him into the mountains and forests..."
"It's not like a sword wound..."
"Like sword energy..."
"Oh, who knows sword energy?"
"Oh, Junior Brother Yu is the only one who knows sword energy, and he has a grudge against Ming Ye. Could it be that he..."
Before Yu Ye passed through the flower garden, everyone's eyes were already looking at him. He couldn't help but slow down, his heart pounding.
He didn't care about Ming Ye's life or death, he was just curious about who killed him. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he once again became the biggest suspect for killing his fellow disciples.
"Yu Ye!"
Jiao Yu's face darkened and he asked: "Why did you kill Ming Ye?"
This foundation-building senior had never had any dealings with Yu Ye, and his words were simple and rude, without any mercy.
Yu Ye stopped and said in shock: "Why should I kill Ming Ye?"
Pu Tongdao: "You were in Luoyan City, and you wanted to kill Ming Ye to avenge your brother. Fortunately, Uncle Mo stopped you, and he died in your hands in the end, alas——"
Chen Qi took the opportunity to remind: "Seniors and fellow disciples should have seen with your own eyes that Ming Ye personally approached Yu Ye to ask for peace, but was ruthlessly rejected by him. Who would have thought that there were already signs of today's disaster!"
"snort!"
Yu Ye couldn't help but snorted.
At this moment, he finally understood that Ming Ye's intention of asking him for peace was to lay down a false pretense just to frame today's situation. Now that Ming Ye is dead, it means that he has also been deceived. And the person who deceived him was the real murderer.
"The dust rises!"
Yu Ye said angrily: "You killed Ming Ye..."
Chen Qi turned a deaf ear and knelt beside Ming Ye's body with a plop, saying in grief: "Junior brother Ming, I took you over the mountains and ridges, I took you from Luoyan City to Feiyu Manor, don't you want to You have this calamity in your life, and it was my dust that caused you harm!"
Along the way, it was obvious to all that he and Ming Ye were in love with each other. Although his behavior was hypocritical and artificial, it was enough to hide it from his fellow disciples present.
Yu Ye was speechless when he wanted to argue.
When he was in Lanling City, he knew what Chen Qi was thinking, but he didn't expect that when the other party was plotting against Ming Ye, he was also plotting against him.
"Yu Ye, you are so brave!"
Jiao Yu raised his hand and used a sword light.
Yu Ye stood still, his expression changing slightly. When his eyes passed over everyone present, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he said calmly: "As the saying goes, if you catch a thief, you will catch the stolen goods, and if you catch the person, you will catch the double. If anyone sees me kill Ming Ye with his own eyes, I am willing to kill him with his own eyes. A life worth a life!"
"Senior Brother Jiao, wait!"
The sword light had reached three feet in front of Yu Ye, and there was a sudden pause.
Mo Xiao and Jiao Yu shook their heads, with hesitation in their expressions.
Chen Qi ignored his sadness and hurriedly stood up and said: "When Ming Ye was killed, only Yu Ye was not in the courtyard. How can he escape if the evidence is solid..."
Bai Zhi suddenly said: "This morning, Senior Sister Che and I were also outside the hospital!"
Che Ju followed up and said, "What Junior Sister Bai said is true. The two of us were playing in the flower garden and saw Yu Ye walking alone outside the courtyard, but he did not go away."
Mo Xiao was silent for a moment, then said: "Yu Ye, please go back to your room and wait for treatment!"
Yu Ye cupped his hands and walked out of the flower garden with his head lowered. Passing by Bai Zhi, a pair of eyes seemed to be staring at him. He turned a blind eye and walked towards the courtyard gate.
He returned to the guest room, closed the door with a bang, then lifted up his clothes and sat on the couch. The good mood he once had was long gone, leaving only a feeling of sullenness.
Although he knew Chen Qi's conspiracy, he couldn't do anything about him. This is his brilliance, but he is even more sinister and sinister than before!
The dust is rising, the days are long, we will see...
An hour later, Leng Chen opened the door and said nothing, just waved.
When Yu Ye walked to the yard, it was time to leave.
Mo Xiao, Leng Chen, Che Ju, Bai Zhi, Pu Tong, Bian Ji, Lu Zheng, and Chen Qi all changed into the Taoist robes of the Yunchuan Immortal Sect and walked out the door one after another.
Jiao Yu, Master Ji, Ji Guan, and a group of Ji family children have been waiting outside the door for a long time, and they all raised their hands to see them off.
Mo Xiao took his disciples to say goodbye and left.
Yu Ye followed silently, muttering secretly in his heart.
Are you no longer pursuing the murderer of Ming Ye?
And when the wind blows across the pond, there are still ripples. A disciple of the Immortal Sect died like this, how could we let it go so easily?
After a group of nine people left Feiyu Village, they used the light body technique and headed west...
At sunset, rest in the forest.
Mo Xiao ordered that before arriving at Xuanli Gate, they were not allowed to stray even half a step away without permission. Even if they stayed overnight, they should stay within ten feet to prevent any unexpected events.
The underlying idea is that he is afraid that someone will be killed again.
Yu Ye sat down against an old tree and saw everyone gathered around Mo Xiao. He was alone. Even Leng Chen, Bai Zhi, and Che Ju were several feet away from him.
What is this for, and who are you wary of?
It seems that the matter of Ming Ye's death has not been settled, but he was too busy with the Xuanli Sect to take care of it. Under Chen Qi's bewitchment, he still did not get rid of the suspicion in the wild!
snort!
Those who are turbid will become turbid, and those who are clear will become clear.
Yu Ye took out the spirit stone and closed his eyes...
The sun rises again.
The sky is still bright.
The nine immortal disciples continued to walk through the mountains and forests.
When dusk fell, everyone stopped on a hill. Looking through the trees, one can see a hundred-foot stone mountain standing several miles away. A few miles away from the foot of the mountain, there are twenty or thirty houses, with figures walking around and smoke rising from the kitchens.
According to the map, the stone mountain where Xuanli Gate is located is Lushan. The small village at the foot of the mountain is called Lucun.
"Yu Ye!"
"Disciple is here!"
Along the way, no one spoke to Yu Ye, and he was happy to be left alone, so he just followed along silently. At this moment, Mo Xiao suddenly called him by his first name, which surprised him.
"I'll take action up the mountain, and you'll take care of me at the bottom."
"How to respond?"
"You go to Lucun immediately and find a place to stay. As for how to respond, just wait for the news."
"As you command!"
Yu Ye raised his hand to accept the order and slipped down from the mountain.
A moment later, he was walking on a dirt road. Looking back, I could see no one on the top of the mountain where I came from.
Uncle Mo didn't treat him as an outsider and deliberately pushed him away to facilitate his actions, right?
If that's the case, it's a relief. Beaten to death, it has nothing to do with him.
Yu Ye shook off his big sleeves and moved forward easily.
In the dusk, the aroma of food wafted...
