When Ji Beichen thought of giving up his identity as a sword cultivator of the Cangxu Sect, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. Ji Beichen made up his mind that after the incident in Cangzhou was resolved, he would go to Lihun Valley with Senior Baishi to see if there was a way to resolve the matter between the two factions of fellow practitioners.
Ji Beichen heard from Senior Baishi that Yan Yueli's father, Yan Wugui, would be leaving seclusion in the near future, and he could just go and pay a visit. Thinking of this, Ji Beichen felt a little excited. He wondered what the scene would be like when his father-in-law and son-in-law met.
Although Ji Beichen had been engaged to Mu Xiyao, he seemed to have never considered these matters. When he was in the Cangxu Sect, he only knew how to stupidly practice swordsmanship at Lin Yuan Peak all day long. Now, all he could think about was his future with Yan Yueli, and he felt like he was really trapped!
Ji Beichen thought about this and returned to the fire. Chen Ying'er was still sleeping soundly, and Ji Beichen's brain was also a little drowsy. It was a little nerve-wracking to comprehend the sword's intention just now, so it was time to close his eyes and take a rest.
Ji Beichen was in a state of concentration when he suddenly felt something approaching the two of them. At first, Ji Beichen thought it was Zhuang Li who had returned, but later he realized something was wrong. The way the thing approached was very strange. It was lying on the ground inch by inch at a very slow speed, and the thing could stick out its tongue!
No, it’s a python! Ji Beichen remembered that Li Kuisheng said that there were five pythons in Lingxi Cave. They had already offended a black green dragon. Which one was it?
In just an instant, the python was in front of him. Ji Beichen looked up and saw that it was not the black green dragon in the Blue Ice Cave before. This python was bigger than the previous one and was khaki in color. This python The most unique thing about the dragon is its head.
"It's Huang Bailong!" Ji Beichen had heard Li Kuisheng say before that the owner of the Earth Spirit Cave was Huang Bailong, who was an earth attribute.
Huang Bailong's cultivation level is higher than that of Black Blue Dragon. There are two black protrusions on the top of its head, which are the dragon horns that are about to grow. Huang Bailong stood in front of Ji Beichen, neither biting nor roaring, as if he was observing the two of them.
Ji Beichen had no time to wake Chen Ying'er up, so he had to pick her up from the ground, hold her in his arms, turn around and run towards the corridor.
Ji Beichen originally planned to run to the corridor that Li Kuisheng entered before, but he didn't take a few steps. Huang Bailong, as if he had a spirit, knew that Ji Beichen was going to run to the corridor, stretched out his body, and circled around the small Tuling Cave, blocking all the exits in the cave, and moved the two People are trapped in the center of Tuling Cave.
Chen Ying'er, who was in Ji Beichen's arms, felt the bump and woke up. As soon as Chen Ying'er woke up, she saw Ji Beichen hugging her, her face immediately turned red like a girl, and she crawled into Ji Beichen's arms a little shyly.
Ji Beichen felt the movements of the person in his arms and stiffened for a moment. He immediately leaned over and gently placed Chen Ying'er on the ground. He whispered in her ear: "Another python is here. Don't make any sound for a while. I'll lure you." Open it and run towards the corridor where Master Li entered!"
The wound on Chen Ying'er's ankle was almost healed, and the wound medicine Zhao Ling'er gave Ji Beichen was specially made by Lihun Valley. Chen Ying'er tried to get up and limped to stand behind Ji Beichen. She carefully looked around and saw the large earth-yellow python close at hand. She was so frightened that her face immediately changed color and she murmured to herself: : "Coming, they are all coming..."
When Ji Beichen heard what Chen Ying'er said, he had doubts in his heart, but at this time he had no time to ask in detail, and told Chen Ying'er: "I will lead it away. As soon as the corridor entrance appears, you get in and find Master Li!"
Chen Ying'er didn't expect that Ji Beichen would ignore her own safety, help her lure away the python, and let her go first, and she was very grateful. He bit his lip and wanted to say something, but stopped himself and just said: "Mr. Chen, be careful!"
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Ji Beichen could only choose to fight. He held the Canglan Sword in his hand and drew the sword out of its sheath in his right hand. Hearing Chen Ying'er's words, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I can deal with a few more!"
Ji Beichen was not allowed to think too much at the moment. After saying that, he went forward alone...
——
In the main hall of Qingtan Peak, Yan Mingxiu took advantage of Lu Shen's absence at Qingtan Peak and ordered his disciples to bring Lu Aotian, who was locked up in the woodshed in the backyard, to the hall, preparing for Wang Yuanting to confront him.
Wang Yuanting used Yan Mingxiu's transformation talisman to transform into Yan Nianxin. He stood beside Yan Mingxiu so naturally that others could not tell any clues.
"Senior Brother Yan, I am wronged! I want to see my master!" Lu Aotian started shouting as soon as he entered the hall, attracting several Qingtan Peak disciples to gather outside the hall door to watch the excitement. The inside and outside of the hall immediately became noisy.
Yan Mingxiu threw a few forbidden words in the past, and the discussion outside the hall stopped instantly. He strolled into the hall and said sternly to Lu Aotian: "Lu Aotian! You colluded with the Huanmie Sect and sneak attacked fellow disciple Ji Beichen. Do you know your crime?"
Lu Aotian shook his head desperately and replied innocently: "Senior Brother Yan, check it out! I was deceived into the ruined temple by the two female disciples of the Yuyin Sect. I really didn't know about their collusion with the Huannie Sect. I didn't even know about it. He died unjustly, hey..."
Lu Aotian looked at Yan Mingxiu helplessly. At that time, Lu Shenji was very angry in the ruined temple. He cursed "traitor" and knocked him to the ground with a palm. He didn't know that Yan Mingxiu was also present, and now he was trying to defend himself. , I want to fish in troubled waters.
Yan Mingxiu smiled contemptuously, glanced at "Yan Nianxin" beside him, and said sternly: "Now I call Mu Xiyao to confront you. If I have wronged you, you will know once I ask!"
Lu Aotian was panicking, but without changing his expression, he still said sophistry: "Senior brother, are you confused? Since you have confirmed that Mu Xiyao is colluding with the Huanmie Sect, she will lie to harm me if she can't protect her. Her words cannot be trusted!"
Yan Mingxiu didn't bother to talk to him. There were so many disciples of the Huan Mie Sect in the ruined temple at that time, and he had already gained everything. Now he still wants to use clever words and tricks to get through. He really doesn't know how to live or die.
He raised his hand and took out a piece of talisman paper filled with talisman seals from the wide sleeves of his robe, then unfolded it and held it between his two fingers, and said angrily to Lu Aotian: "Lu Aotian, don't worry about him, have you lied?" , you will know once you try the Heart-Questing Talisman in my hand."
Lu Aotian suddenly turned pale. It seemed that he was finished today. Even if the master came, he would not be able to spare him.
Just when Lu Aotian was feeling disheartened, a fairy girl with a childish face fell from the sky and walked into the hall. She looked at the talisman in Yan Mingxiu's hand with a cold face and said sarcastically: "Humph, it's another heretical thing that cannot be put on the table! "
"Seat Qi." Everyone bowed and saluted Qi Mingzhen. Although Yan Mingxiu was not happy, he still took the talisman with his backhand and asked, "Chief Qi is just sitting around at Qingping Peak, so what's the point of coming to our Qingtan Peak? "
"You!" Qi Mingzhen was choked. She was almost seventy years old. When Yan Mingxiu said this, her face suddenly lost its expression. If it weren't for the fact that she was the leader of Qingping Peak, she would have wanted to nail him to the wall with a sword. Go up to relieve the anger in your heart.
Qi Mingzhen usually doesn't like to join in the fun. Today is Qingtan Peak's own business. Logically speaking, it is really inconvenient for Qi Mingzhen to get involved. However, her precious first disciple couldn't stop crying for Lu Aotian. She felt soft and agreed to come over to find out the news. She happened to catch the scene just now.
Qi Mingzhen was originally from an Xianmen family, but now his cultivation has reached Nascent Soul Dzogchen, and he is appointed as the leader of Qingping Peak. He usually looks down on unorthodox casual cultivators, and even scorns things like Talisman cultivators.
In the past, Qi Mingzhen and Yan Mingxiu had almost no interaction except necessary greetings. She had heard a lot about Yan Mingxiu's bad things, so naturally she didn't have a good impression of Yan Mingxiu.
The two of them were at war with each other. The Qingtan Peak disciples in the main hall did not dare to take a breath. "Yan Nianxin" also secretly put her arms behind her back and held the black iron fan at her waist. Fortunately, Lu Shenji arrived in time.
"Third junior sister, there is no need to be angry. Mingxiu interrogating Lu Aotian was my order. You don't have to be so fussy with this junior." Lu Shenji apologized repeatedly as soon as he entered the hall. Although peace is always the most important thing for him, the Qingtan Peak disciple It’s not anyone else’s turn to discipline you.
When Qi Mingzhen saw Lu Shenji coming back, she naturally would not continue the stalemate, but she still complained in her heart: "Fifth Junior Brother, you should not have agreed to Sixth Junior Sister to accept him into your sect in the first place. You are really asking for trouble!"
Yan Mingxiu smiled disdainfully. If it weren't for the last words of the two elders of the Yan family, he would not abandon Fu Xiu and become a sword cultivator. He would not care about the number one immortal sect!
Lu Shenji hurriedly waved his hand to signal Yan Mingxiu to stop talking. Qi Mingzhen was Yan Mingxiu's elder after all, and it would be inappropriate for a junior to contradict him.
Seeing that things had turned around, Lu Aotian immediately became excited. He smiled flatteringly at Qi Mingzhen and said, "Senior Aunt Qi, I was framed. Please help me speak!"
"Traitor, don't speak anymore. I saw it clearly that day in the ruined temple. Don't try to quibble." Lu Shenji said something to end Lu Aotian's thoughts of getting away with it. He shook his head in disappointment and regretted that he had treated his subordinates before. The discipline of the disciples was too lax, and a traitor appeared who killed his fellow disciples!
Seeing that the situation was over, Lu Aotian knelt down and admitted his mistake frankly: "Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't be jealous of Junior Brother Ji, and I shouldn't be jealous of you and Senior Wife's preference for him!"
Lu Aotian cried bitterly as he spoke, regretting his mistake. Everyone in the hall except Yan Mingxiu and "Yan Nianxin" turned their heads away, feeling unbearable.
Qi Mingzhen, who had been silent, also felt sympathy. She was worried that she could not reduce Lu Aotian's crime. This opportunity came: "Oh? Is this happening? As the leader of Qingtan Peak, the fifth junior brother really shouldn't be. ..."
"This..." Lu Shenji didn't know how to explain it for a moment. If he said he didn't have any preference for Ji Beichen, he would be lying.
Seeing that Lu Shenji was speechless for a long time, Yan Mingxiu was so anxious that he shook his folding fan. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and said angrily: "This bastard is trying to confuse the public and exonerate himself. Brother-in-law, Let me take care of him!"
When he thought of Yan Mingxiu's Heart-Question Talisman, Lu Aotian despaired again. He knew in his heart that although he could not escape this time, he would not lose his life. The only solution for now was to die to apologize and put an end to Yan Mingxiu's plan.
"Life and death are small matters, but fame and honor are big matters. I would rather die than not be insulted by this!" After he finished speaking, he stood up and bumped into the jade pillar in the palace.
Just as he was about to hit him, a bloated man flew into the hall nimbly, grabbed Lu Aotian by the collar and rescued him, and said with a curse: "Yan Mingxiu, you are a disaster, you have been bullying others too much today!"
