"Lao Xie, come here! We have something serious to do!" Ma Mian pricked up his ears, then leaned down and whispered: "We were pretending to be relaxed before to tell others, although dealing with these monsters is not a problem, However, there are too many and it is a bit tricky. Once the third level is released again, we are afraid that we will be powerless!"
When Bai Wuchang heard this, he relaxed a little, then became nervous and asked in confusion: "Why did Brother Ma say this?"
"Normally speaking, these low-level monsters are not something to be afraid of. No matter how hard you attack them, they will all be left behind. However, I received news from my subordinates that there are still monsters that have slipped out and caused trouble!"
"You mean some of us..." Bai Wuchang winked. Ma Mian also nodded solemnly, but still muttered: "It's hard to say, it's just something weird, so I have to be careful!"
"I will go back to the Ghost Hall to explain and add some manpower here." Bai Wuchang knew the seriousness of the situation, so he simply said goodbye and stood up to leave.
====================
"You bastards! You people who are greedy for life and afraid of death have appeared in Taiyi Pavilion. You really smeared us! No wonder you were jealous before!" A strong man with a heavy back and drooping eyebrows pointed at a group of people kneeling in front of the hall and yelled. He was scolded. But he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"Qingjing! Forget it! Let's think about it in the long term!" A person with an immortal spirit sighed and advised. This person was none other than Taoist Master Qingxu.
"Take a long-term plan? Brother! I'm not telling you! You took a long-term plan last time, but now you haven't said anything when the second-level seal is opened! If you don't take action, I'm afraid it will be the third or fourth level... By then, it will be too late to do anything. ! No! This time I will be willful! I will admit it if I am imprisoned for another period!" Taoist Master Qingjing slammed the table and was about to stand up.
"Qingjing! You..." Taoist Priest Qingxu choked up after hearing this, and pointed at Taoist Priest Qingjing with trembling lips. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a disciple-like person outside the door running in shouting, "Taoist Priest Qingxu! Taoist Master Qingxu!" he kept shouting.
"Who is here? No noise is allowed in the main hall!" Taoist Master Qingxu turned his temper on the visitor and roared angrily.
"Qingxu...Taoist Master...I...I have something urgent to say..." The person who came said it was not true, and it was not true even if he didn't say it. He stamped his feet anxiously.
"What's going on? Is the monster coming? Take me to stop him!" Taoist Master Qingjing jumped in front of him, grabbed the person's shoulders and wanted to go out.
"Oh! Priest Qingjing! You...just listen to me!" The visitor was about to be pulled out of the hall when he was stunned. He quickly broke away from Priest Qingjing's big hand and said bravely, "There is indeed a monster coming from the lock. They escaped in the direction of the demon tower...but there were only a few of them, and they have been blocked back, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"What's going on?" Taoist priest Qingjing was stunned.
"Two Taoist Priests, I was originally stationed around the Demon Locking Tower like several other brothers. Unfortunately, I had a bad stomach, so I went to get some relief. On the way back, I saw the monsters escaping in all directions, and I was crushed before I could see them. In front of my face. Just when I thought my life was about to end, two divine generals holding steel forks suddenly descended from the sky and killed the monsters, so I took the opportunity to run back..."
"God general? I don't remember which sect has a master holding a steel fork...can you see their appearance clearly?"
"I was in a hurry to come back to report the news (it was true that I was running for my life), and I didn't bother to look carefully. However, when I turned back later to see if there were any monsters chasing me, I took a look from a distance. One looks like a bull’s head and the other looks like a horse’s head, which is really weird.”
"Ox head? Horse head?" Taoist priest Qingjing just thought he was talking nonsense and didn't think much about it. "You all should get out! I'll be upset when I see you!" Qingjing waved his hand and drove away these tower-guarding disciples.
After everyone left, there were only two people, Qingxu and Qingjing, in the hall. Qingxu held a tea cup and turned it over and over thinking about something, while Qingjing also paced back and forth, sighing.
"Hey? Brother, now that the monsters are causing trouble and the Sword Star lives in the Bixia Valley, why doesn't even the Jade Pot Sect come out to help?"
"Pah!" Qingxu heard the words, shook his hand, and the teacup rolled down from the table and fell into pieces.
"What a sin..." Taoist Qingxu let out a long sigh, "Things always need to be known, and I don't want to hide it from you anymore today..." Taoist Qingxu refilled the tea, and poured the hot tea down his throat. His heart was burning, but it couldn't cover up the desolation in his words.
"What on earth happened in the past twelve years..." After listening to Qingxu's words, Qingjing was not as angry as he imagined. Instead, he slumped against the back of the chair, and the armrests he held with both hands creaked.
"It's all my brother's fault! It's all my fault! I listened to the slander. Not only did it harm Taiyi Pavilion, but it also drove the Jade Hu Sect into a state of eternal doom. I am so ashamed of my ancestors!" Qingxu choked up for a while. Although it didn't help, he Add a bit of sadness.
"Brother, I don't blame you! It was all Qingjing's youth and energy that allowed you to bear the burden for so many years! Now that I'm here, I will never let Taiyi Pavilion suffer any more losses! But we owe the Jade Pot Sect, and we still have to Return it!" Qingjing smashed the armrest, stood up and left.
"Qingjing! Do something in the future! Don't be impulsive!" Qingxu shouted when she saw Qingjing leaving in a menacing manner.
"Brother, don't worry! I am no longer young and will not be impulsive..." The pure voice gradually faded away.
===================
With the sword star in the center, two figures with extraordinary temperament jumped off the sword and landed in the yard.
"Welcome the second elder to go home! We welcome the third elder to go home!" The eyes of the disciples on both sides were twinkling, and their voices were full of uncontrollable joy.
The two of them just smiled and nodded, stepping forward quickly without looking away, looking into the palace with burning eyes.
"Second Elder! Third Elder! You are so brave! You still know how to come back!" Although the words of the Lord Lu Hanjiang were sharp, they were filled with countless warmth.
"Brother!" Upon hearing this, the two of them looked excitedly at Lu Hanjiang, who was standing in the lobby with his hands behind his back.
"Okay, you guys retreat for now. I have something to talk to the two elders about!" Lu Hanjiang dismissed the two rows of disciples on the left and right and motioned for them to close the door.
"Second sister! Third brother! You have suffered outside all these years!" Lu Hanjiang could no longer control his inner excitement, and the three of them hugged each other tightly.
"Brother...you...your arm..."
When the two were young, they often held Lu Hanjiang's arms, one on the left and the other on the right. Although they are no longer young, they still can't help but be intimate. But I didn’t expect that my hand would be empty…
"Brother! What's going on! Tell me! I will go with my second sister to help you get revenge!"
"Qingtan! I haven't seen you in these years, why are you still so impatient?" Lu Hanjiang feigned anger, but still gave an overview of what happened that day.
"The Jade Hu Sect deserves to be destroyed, that little thief really deserves to die!" Lu Qingtan gritted his teeth, holding Lu Hanjiang's empty sleeves with red eyes, and choked out.
"The matter has long since passed, and the person who broke my arm has been dealt with. I don't care anymore..." Lu Hanjiang coughed a few times and changed the subject, "Tell me where you have been all these years. I have never stopped looking for you. Why is there no news at all?”
The two of them wiped away their tears, thinking that the eldest brother didn't want to be sad to mention it again. Lu Qingtan pursed her lips at Lu Youyou: "Second sister, you can tell me!"
Lu Youyou nodded when he heard this, took a sip of tea, rolled up his sleeves, and time went back with his thoughts...
==========Twelve years ago==========
This year, Wu Tu Ku was at its peak, especially one young man named Wei Wuxi, who was extremely talented and deeply respected by everyone in Wu Tu Ku. At this time, the old Witch King's health was deteriorating, and news had been released to the outside world that if he died, the position of the Witch King would be handed over to Wei Wuxi.
Although Wei Wuxi usually looked forward to calling him the Witch King, when the time came for the old Witch King to leave, he felt pain in his heart and had no other concerns, so he stayed with the Old Witch King day and night.
There was a burst of mourning inside Wu Tu Ku, but the outside world was uneasy. They knew very well the strength of Wei Wuxi. If he were to lead Wu Tu Ku, he would sooner or later replace the status of the major sects in the hearts of the people.
The outside world says that Wutu Cave is a crooked sect that studies curses and witchcraft, but this is nothing more than the jealous rhetoric of the so-called famous and decent people due to their lack of strength. They can only use the words "good" and "evil" to draw a clear line and hold up the white lotus.
Originally, these sects hated Wu Tu Cave with all their teeth and cursed the old Witch King to die every day. When it was time to finally die, they hoped that the old Witch King would hold on a little longer and let them think of ways to affect the rising reputation of Wutu Cave.
However, Wu Tu Ku has not done anything harmful in recent years. On the contrary, he is willing to do good deeds, which seriously threatens the bad reputation that those well-known and upright people have finally established for him. They can only pretend to be Wu Tu Ku and do evil everywhere. A dynamic balance between good and evil was barely achieved.
But doing so was not an option, so they prepared to turn their attention to the Witch King, but he was no match for him, so they could only deal with it hastily.
In the last Linlang Fair, Wei Wuxi got the Linglong Vortex, which is also the Linglong Gu Pouch. The news had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of various sects, and it also caused Wu Tu Ku to gain a lot of momentum. .
Originally, Wei Wuxi wanted to give it to the Old Witch King, but the Old Witch King lived a lonely life and regarded Wei Wuxi as his own son, so he gave it back to Wei Wuxi. But the latter never used it, and instead gave the exquisite Gu pouch to Aning.
At first, An Ning was not willing to accept such a precious treasure. However, Wei Wuxi was very strong and worked hard, so he still gave the exquisite Gu pouch to An Ning.
Aning always felt in his heart that Wei Wuxi would succeed to the throne soon. If he had a magic weapon with him, it would definitely be more of a deterrent! Although the people of Wu Tu Cave also agreed with An Ning's move, Wei Wuxi insisted on going his own way and handed over Linglong Vortex to An Ning's care no matter what. Others had no choice but to give up when they saw that they could not persuade him.
Aning is kind-hearted by nature. Although he knows that this magic weapon has miraculous effects in refining Gu, it is still a living creature, and its appearance is pink, tender, smooth and cute, so he treats it as his own pet and keeps the magic weapon as a pet. , Aning can be regarded as the first person in ancient and modern times.
However, this kind act planted the root of trouble for Aning...
