In the palace, apart from Ai Jian, there was only one young man sitting leisurely on a chair with a cup of tea in his hand.
He was wearing a simple white cloth robe, his hair was tied with a green hairpin, and most of the left side of his face was covered by a jet mask, leaving only his eyes exposed.
And for some reason, those eyes were completely red, with a murderous blood shadow inside.
The eyes are rushing back and forth, wandering uncertainly...
If Chen Heng were here, he would be able to recognize that this person is the face who came to look for the beautiful woman of Emperor Yin six months ago.
It was his secret words and guidance that allowed the beautiful woman to quench her desire and save Chen Heng from danger.
at this time.
Hearing Ai Jian's scolding, Chen Ying slowly flipped the lid of the tea, took a leisurely sip, moistened his throat, and then said lightly:
"Didn't you hear it clearly? Then I'll say it again. The former disciple of Zhenren Yue, your senior brother, and the most promising person in your lineage to become a first-class elixir, Wang Shu, died on the way to collect medicine in Nanchan Prefecture. .”
His voice echoed loudly in the palace, with a faint smile:
"I heard that it was because of the superior "Tianyou Clay" that I fought against the Zhu Ling of the Shenyu Sect. In the end, my skills were not as good as the others. I lost a few moves and had to give up the "Tianyou Clay". It is also time to form a pill. Because of the lack of this powerful medicine, I had to make do with a medium-quality 'Tianyou Mud'. Perhaps there was also a mistake when exploding the mercury, so it was only a fourth-grade elixir, not even a top-grade golden elixir. superior."
If a monk in this world wants to refine the golden elixir, he must gather thirteen medicinal herbs, none of which is missing.
Talisman Fire is one of them.
Tianyou Ni is also one of them.
The Yuchen Sect has always had a sect rule of going out to collect medicines, and the sect does not provide these elixirs.
Firstly, it is because there are many disciples and the elixir is really precious.
Even the ancient immortal sect inherited from the ancient Taoist era, no matter how great the family is, cannot withstand such waste.
Secondly, it is to take this opportunity to go out to collect medicine to sharpen the Taoist mind of all the disciples, so that it will be complete and complete, and will not accept impurities.
After all, in the process of cultivating Taoism, the most important thing is the Taoist heart.
Next are opportunities, roots, and resources.
Golden elixir is just the beginning of a long journey of building a road——
The flowers in the soup room, no matter how full of spring, can only be seen by the flickering light, unable to withstand the wind and rain.
It’s embarrassing to use, it’s better not to use it!
"What? Senior Brother Wang Shu is only a fourth-grade elixir? Are you kidding me!"
Ai Jian looked wildly shocked. She suppressed the continuous dizziness in her head, clenched her fists with her fingers, and asked again:
"He died, how did he die?"
"Kill yourself."
Chen Ying looked calm and put down the tea cup in his hand.
He glanced at the helpless Ai Jian and suddenly smiled meaningfully:
"Even though the 'Tianyou Clay' is not of the highest quality, with Wang Shu's talent that has been spread among the people, there is a 40% chance that he can cultivate a top-grade golden elixir even if he can't make a first-grade elixir but a second-grade or third-grade elixir. The monks from other states have heard of it.
Now that I look at it, it is indeed beyond its name...
After the news of his death was revealed, he felt guilty and had no shame in returning to the clan to meet his fellow disciples, so he committed suicide. "
Ai Jian's eyes darkened when she heard this, her heart surged with blood, and her hands trembled with anger:
"Suicide? Suicide?! With Senior Brother Wang Shu's temperament, how could he commit suicide? Nonsense! It's sheer nonsense!"
"As far as I know, Wang Shu had seven sword wounds on his back. In the end, he was decapitated directly with the sound of sword energy and thunder, but he was just forced to commit suicide."
"..."
Hear this.
Ai Jian's face twitched for a while, but she couldn't bear it anymore. She vomited out several mouthfuls of blood and fell onto the black crane jade behind her, trembling all over.
There was a "click" in his chest, as if something was breaking apart, which stirred up the originally bright and clear sky, causing thunder and rumbling everywhere!
And at the same time.
The red rope talismans on all the Taoists of the Xuanzhen Sect in the abyss of the earth spontaneously ignited one after another, and the power of the dragon and tiger Yuanzhen in their form was so powerful that everyone was shocked and suspicious!
After Ai Jian fell, several Taoist boys rushed into the hall. They didn't even bother to greet Chen Ying. They tremblingly took out the elixir from the glass bottle and wanted to give it to him.
"Wait a minute, when he was ingesting the five essences, he took in too much of the nature of metal and fire, but the five elements were not harmonized and nourished. He was so angry that he broke all the dragon and tiger cauldrons in his body."
Chen Ying was smiling, watching a good show.
But when he saw the elixir taken out, he frowned.
Later, I saw that the Taoist boys were even more busy trying to dissolve the elixir, but they couldn't see it anymore, so they couldn't help but give some advice.
Winning over Ai Jian is a big plan for his future and cannot be taken lightly.
"Senior...senior..."
The boy holding the glass vase was so horrified that he almost cried:
"Then what kind of elixir should I use?"
Seeing this, Chen Ying couldn't help but hold his forehead and said slowly:
"There is no need for any elixirs. He is still a second-level Dongxuan master after all. Has there ever been a Dongxuan master who was so angry that he died of anger? Even if his mood is agitated and he goes crazy, after a while, his mind will be clear. He woke up on his own."
After he said these words, the Taoist boys were still with tears in their eyes and kept kowtowing and begging.
Chen Ying had no choice but to be patient, press his hand, and let the deep, cold and damp Qi flow through Ai Jian's body.
After the qi machine was sent out.
Suddenly, the entire palace was cold to the bone, with water and moisture spreading all over the place. It was so cold that the bodies of several Taoist boys turned blue from the cold, and their teeth could not stop chattering.
"..."
Despite Chen Ying's gloomy nature, he still felt that today's scene was really an eye-opener.
Ren smiled and raised a finger to collect the cold air that was spreading outside, thus saving the Taoist boys from freezing to death.
He slowly shook his head and said:
"Although your master was expelled by the Yuchen Sect and exiled to the Southern Territory, he is still a disciple of the great sect, and he is from the Shangyu Ai clan. Isn't it possible that there are not a few useful summoners around you? Are you cultivators Because, it’s too lowly and weak, and it also loses Ai Jian’s face.”
The faces of the Taoist boys all showed shame, and they hesitated.
He bravely stood up, swallowed, bowed his hands, and replied with a wry smile:
"What makes this senior laugh is that there is actually a big steward above the servants. He is always at the master's side. It's just that the big steward has been out of the house recently and has no other skills, so..."
Chen Ying interrupted him and said, "Did Ai's servants or maids follow Ai Jian to the Southern Region?"
The Taoist boy was speechless. He just lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Chen Ying suddenly felt enlightened and laughed.
"It seems that the rumor of Ai Jian breaking out of the house is somewhat credible, but the people of the same clan have not let it go yet?"
He tapped his fingers on the chair and said to himself:
"But in this way, I have an opportunity to take advantage of it. I will be more confident in winning over Ai Jian!"
At this time.
After receiving the help of Chen Ying's energy, Ai Jian slowly woke up.
He coughed twice and pushed away a group of Taoist boys gathered around him. His face was as dark as water. After calming down and adjusting his breath for a few rounds, his expression relaxed slightly.
"Senior Brother Wang Shu... who killed him?"
Several Taoist boys looked at each other, walked out of the palace in a wise manner, and closed the door again.
After a long silence.
Ai Jian just barely suppressed her anger and waved her sleeves to open all the restrictions, covering up all the sounds in the palace.
After doing all this, he spoke word by word: "Who can kill him with swordsmanship? Who can cultivate the sword energy and thunder sound?!"
Chen Ying was not in a hurry to answer, and said: "You are now in the second stage of Dongxuan - ingesting the five essences, you still have to set your mind and nature, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the moment of elixir formation."
"Chen Ying, how can I have time to discuss mysteries with you! Since you already know the truth, why bother to hide it from me! Are you here just to win over me?"
Ai Jian sneered again and again and said.
Chen Ying smiled slightly: "Yes, I came here specifically to win over you, but as for who killed Wang Shu, who didn't want you to return to the Yuchen Sect...
You actually already have a name in your mind, don’t you? "
Ai Jian was startled when he heard this, his eyes sharpened, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"Did this old man Gu Zhao send someone to do it?"
After seeing Chen Ying nod.
Ai Jian's heart became more angry, and his lips trembled a little. Old and new hatreds surged up together, causing the veins on his forehead to pop out.
Gu Zhao and Ai Jian's late master Yue Zhenren were both elders of the Yuchen sect, and both served in the Xuanjiao Hall among the nine halls of Yuchen.
In order to compete for the power of the Xuanjiao Hall, the two often had conflicts. They fought openly and secretly for many years. Even their disciples never interacted with each other. It can be said that they are completely different from each other.
And Ai Jian was expelled by the Yuchen faction and rushed to the southern region, and she was also inseparable from Gu Zhao...
During an expedition against Zhu Jingtian, Gu Zhao and Yue Zhenren presided over the same battle formation. Afterwards, although they defeated Zhu Jingtian's sect forces, beheaded countless people, and regained a side of the world, Yue Zhenren also died inexplicably, and his soul was lost. Return to Taixu.
Yue Zhenren and Gu Zhao had been at odds with each other for many years, and this time their death was even more mysterious. His disciples could not help but do what he wanted.
Several lawsuits were filed to no avail.
And seeing Gu Zhao mercilessly taking away the power that originally belonged to her teacher, suppressing dissidents, and flourishing in the faction, Ai Jian finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Although he couldn't kill Gu Zhao and avenge his master, he had other ways.
After some discussion, he and his junior brother Wan Song used a magic weapon as bait to lure Gu Zhao's only son out of the mountain gate, and then worked together to ambush and kill him.
Naturally, this conspiracy could not be kept secret for long, and the two people were so angry that their arrangement was not very subtle. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was full of mistakes.
Fighting each other among the same sects has always been a big taboo for all sects, and even the Six Demonic Sects are no exception, but they need to be more lenient.
Soon, within a few days, Ai Jian and Wan Song, who had fled to the outside world, were captured by an elder of the Daoji Palace and were waiting for the sect rules to be announced.
If there is no evidence of death, maybe we can mediate for a few more days to see if anything can be done.
But Yuan Ling, the only son of Gu Zhao, relied on a secret method to escape back to the Yuchen Sect without being killed.
In this way, both human and material evidence are available, and it is impossible to argue with anyone, and the evidence is conclusive.
Even several elders from the sect who were good friends with Yue Zhenren during his lifetime were not able to help him.
Even if Wan Songdang was executed by the Daoji Palace, he would only allow one Yuanling to be reincarnated due to his righteousness, and he would not be able to receive him. He did not know if there would be a chance to practice Taoism in the next life.
As for Ai Jian, her mother has remarried a clan member, and her stepfather is the powerful elder of the Ai clan. His cultivation is also unpredictable, and he has friends from all factions.
After Ai Shi made several pleas and sacrificed a lot of money to make peace with Gu Zhao, Ai Jian was lucky enough to avoid death.
After being imprisoned in a state of famine for three years and receiving sufficient punishment, Ai Jian was expelled from the mountain gate and asked to come to poor lands like the Southern Territory to establish Taoism and preach enlightenment.
Although he lost his dignity, he still managed to save his life.
There are only three disciples under Zhenren Yue.
Ai Jian and Wan Song knew the temperament of Wang Shu, their senior brother, and determined that he would never agree to it. They could not bear to delay Wang Shu's Taoist career, so they did not join forces and just started the rebellion privately.
One death and another death.
There was only one Wang Shu left in Yue Zhenren's sect. He escaped with his life and was still in the sect, but he was also a single-handed man.
In the past few years in the Southern Territory, Ai Jian's Taoist progress has been minimal, and he has deeply hated Gu Zhao to the core.
He only hopes that Wang Shu can cultivate the high-grade golden elixir, become a true disciple, and free himself from the sea of suffering!
And if by luck the elixir becomes a first-grade one——
Not to mention the true story, even Daozi's seat can be competed for!
As a Taoist king, you must be distracted from the boundless emptiness and explain the mysteries to him personally!
If it reaches that kind of situation, what kind of person can Gu Zhao, who is just a member of the Xuanjiao Hall, be? What can be stopped?
He Ai Jian's return to the Yuchen Sect is just a matter of words!
At that time, if you want to make Gu Zhao round and flat, you don't have to come forward in person. Countless people will know the elegant meaning after hearing Xian Ge, and they will compete to do it for you.
A word can make a nation prosper! One word can ruin a country!
in this way--
This is what a man does!
It was with this thought in mind that Ai Jian endured the humiliation and suffered day after day in the Xuanzhen Sect.
But Wang Shu only reached the fourth level of elixir, and he died overnight.
This message will undoubtedly shatter all Ai Jian's ambitions...
He sat slumped on the ground, clenching his hands into fists. He was so helpless that he lost consciousness for a long time and did not recover for a long time.
Seeing him in this state, Chen Ying was heartbroken and silently shook his head.
He traveled thousands of miles this time and came from Nanchan Prefecture to Dongmi Prefecture. Although it was for the great fortune of the Corpse Execution Immortal in the Abyss, in fact, he also planned to recruit outstanding people from various states to support his wings so that he could easily communicate with Chen. The competing thoughts of Zuo, Chen Daozheng and others.
This Ai Jian was one of his pre-selected ones.
However, looking at his character, laughter, anger, and curses are all reflected in his voice and appearance.
Even if such a person wants to be accepted as a subordinate, he still needs to undergo some training, otherwise it will be difficult for him to become a great person.
…
"Brother Ai, it's better to express condolences and take the opportunity to do so. The moon waxes and wanes, and people have misfortunes and blessings. These are all decreed by heaven and cannot be violated."
A long while passed.
Seeing Ai Jianyi's face as dark as water, she refused to say a word.
Chen Ying had no choice but to speak first and randomly picked a topic:
"Last time I pretended to be a face-player and came here with the noble Ai Yuan to search for Yin Tianzi. I met a brother who was living abroad. His name is Chen Heng. I don't know where he is now. Can you call him out and see him?"
Ai Jian was startled when she heard this, and finally came back to her senses from her confusion.
After he finished talking about Chen Heng's whereabouts, Chen Ying was also slightly surprised.
"It's actually the abyss of the earth? Not long after, when my parents and the elders of Zhaozong triggered the turbid tide, all the flesh and blood creatures in the abyss turned to gray. How could he survive?"
Chen Ying sighed, shook his head and said:
“It’s a pity, it’s a pity that Chen Heng was killed by mistake.
Originally, I wanted to send him to Chen Runzi and Chen Yuanji in exchange for a favor from Yuluo Immortal Mansion, but now it is a pity..."
