Qingjing has an upright character and loves to fight against injustice. Ever since he heard two disciples talking about the disaster happening at the foot of the mountain, he has been thinking about investigating it.
But he came here at the risk of being punished by Qingxu, but found nothing and felt a little depressed.
Just when he was having mixed feelings, a door finally opened for him. Unfortunately, it was just a slightly larger rat that opened the door for him.
"That's right! I've been thinking about looking for clues from the corpse, but I actually ignored what's in front of me!" Qingjing's eyes lit up, and she laughed and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Rat!"
After saying that, he rummaged through the rooms one after another, trying to see if there was the answer he was looking for in the house. After searching for it, he came to the room where "Brother Rat" opened the door for him.
The room in front of me is not that big, with only an outer room for cooking and an inner room for living. But there is still nothing surprising in this outhouse, except that the dishes containing leftovers have been torn to pieces, and it seems that they have been taken care of by "Brother Rat".
Qingjing wrinkled her nose and kept walking towards the house. When she turned her head, she saw the same pile of opened quilts on the fire bed by the window. She also saw that these people were indeed killed after getting up at night.
Qingjing looked around along the wall, but when he saw what was behind him, he was so frightened that his three souls wandered out of the sky, and his seven souls scattered into the sky. Goosebumps all over his body fell to the ground, and his heartbeat stopped for half a beat.
Behind him is a table, and in the shadow opposite the table, a person is sitting upright. Although he couldn't see his face clearly for the time being, he could see the slight reflection in the eyes of the man opposite.
Qingjing was about to turn around and run away, but felt her feet tighten. When he looked down, he saw that his ankles were locked by two black shadows, making it impossible to move even half a step.
Then, I saw the man opposite stood up from the shadows and sneered: "Let's see where you are going to run?"
When Qingjing heard the voice, she wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and said with a smile: "Brother...what a coincidence...you are also out for a walk?"
"Stop talking nonsense to me!" The man opposite walked out of the shadows, and the moonlight fell on his face knowingly. This man was undoubtedly that innocent man.
"Brother... I just didn't say hello to you... You wouldn't scare me like that... This person is scary to death!" Qingjing was reprimanded and complained in a low voice, "I was just curious and wanted to come out and have a look. Just go back...it's not enough to go back..."
"Take a look? Heh... do you think I will believe it?" Qingxu smiled, and then casually untied the restraints at Qingjing's feet, "Do you know... why I am waiting for you here?"
Qingqing moved her ankles a few times, then curled her lips and said word by word: "Brother is here, of course, to take me back..."
"If I want to arrest you, do I need to wait until now?" Qingxu naturally heard that Qingjing was in a bad mood, but he had no intention of dwelling on this topic, "But now that I'm here, there's no need to rush back. Tell me carefully what you discovered just now..."
When Qingjing heard Qingxu asking herself, she put away her emotions and told the results of her examination on the donkey.
"As expected...Is there really something going on in the Demon Locking Tower?" Qingxu frowned when he heard this, and said to himself. He felt that this situation was indeed very similar to that caused by the Extreme Yang bloodline of the Zhulong clan. , but the effect is much weaker.
"Brother...what did you say..." Qingjing heard what Qingxu was talking about and asked curiously.
"It's nothing. I have no idea about this matter. Please follow me back to Taiyi Pavilion first..." This matter is of great importance. Qingxu doesn't want Qingjing to know about it, so he wants to stabilize Qingjing first and wait until he is alone in the future. Make plans…
Returning to Taiyi Pavilion, Qingxu locked Qingjing in confinement, partly to allow him to reflect on his own, and partly because he did not want to involve Qingjing in this matter. And I can take advantage of this period of time to find some more plans to deal with the Zhulong Clan, in order to be prepared.
…
"Huhu..."
In the Taiyi Pavilion forest, a figure hid behind a tree. His chest was rising and falling rapidly, and he was breathing heavily uncontrollably. The moment he had just hidden, several Taiyi Pavilion disciples suddenly chased him behind him. They greeted each other from left to right, and then hurried away in the direction in front of him.
"We've gotten rid of it! Why are these guys like dog-skin plasters..." Hearing the silence behind him, the wolf duck walked out from behind the tree and walked towards the black bamboo forest in the back mountain...
That day, Lang Yun realized that he was trapped in the mountain and could not escape no matter what, and his heart gradually became impatient. Later, he panicked and bumped into a tree and fainted. When he woke up again, dusk had fallen.
The environment in Taiyi Pavilion is so harmonious that even mosquitoes are several times more common than in ordinary places. If I couldn't leave here at night, I was afraid that I would be sucked into someone else, and I was secretly complaining in my heart.
But just as he was running around in a hurry, he suddenly felt a faint hint of fire in his heart. He looked toward the fire as if half asleep. After an unknown amount of time, a new scene finally appeared in front of him.
He saw several disciples walking from a distance carrying lanterns, talking about studying ink, and vaguely mentioned the black bamboo forest. When Lang Yun heard this, he was overjoyed. He thought to himself that he was really walking in circles without any iron shoes. It took no effort at all to get it! I had just gotten out of trouble when I got the message about the purpose of my trip!
Then he searched in the direction where the disciples came from, and sure enough he found this bamboo forest that was darker than the night...
He was very cautious at first. Although this black bamboo forest was very dense, there was nowhere to hide if he was discovered. But he also discovered that these Taiyi Pavilion disciples usually only moved outside the black bamboo forest and never went deep into the black bamboo forest. This made him feel relieved and began to search for things about the method of immortality.
But there was nothing special and strange in the black bamboo forest, which made Lang Yun dizzy. Later, he was so hungry that he slipped out of the black bamboo forest to get some food to satisfy his hunger. However, he did not expect that he would be caught. , fortunately, I was able to escape tracking with my quick steps.
"Huh?" While the wolf was devouring its food, he suddenly couldn't help but look back and murmured in a low voice: "It's really weird, why do I always feel like someone is staring at me somewhere? Maybe I'm overly concerned..." After that, , and the wolf continued to gobble it up.
Outside the library, a disciple was pacing back and forth, his face filled with sadness. Not long after, he finally saw Qingxu walking out holding a book. He also hurriedly walked forward and complained.
"Senior Brother, a thief has appeared in Taiyi Pavilion recently! This person comes to steal food every day, and now the disciples are almost running out of tableware..."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Elder Qingxu's eyes were still immersed in the book in his hand, without raising his head at all. "Perhaps it is a hungry man who broke in by mistake? You give him some money and send him out of the formation. Bar…"
"But senior brother...this guy..."
"I understand. It seems that the man was forced to do this because of hunger. All you need to do is retrieve the tableware, and don't hurt him..." Qingxu had no intention of paying attention to these trivial matters, and turned around and left after speaking. go.
"Huh...huh..."
In the black bamboo forest, Lang Yun fell asleep in his temporary bamboo shed after eating and drinking. However, he had just slept until midnight that day when he was suddenly awakened by a rustling sound. He woke up instantly and turned his head. He leaned out of the bamboo shed and looked around.
The scenery under the moonlight is extremely clear. The bright silver light falls on the black bamboo, reflecting pieces of hazy colors, making this bamboo forest like a fairyland.
But just like this fairyland, Lang Yun felt a hair in his heart, because he could feel that the feeling of being stared at became more and more clear.
"Who...who..." Lang Yun began to wonder if he had been noticed, and finally couldn't help but ask.
As soon as Lang Yun finished speaking, the rustling in the bamboo forest suddenly became strangely quiet, and then the same voice came: "Who...who..."
The sound seemed to be near his ears at first, but when he heard it again, it came from all directions. Lang Yun couldn't figure out where the person was, and he hurriedly knelt down.
"Excuse me, I am the elder of Taiyi Pavilion. I came here by mistake. I hope that the elder will forgive me..."
"Elder... Elder... forgive me..." Perhaps his words were too long, and the imitating voice opposite him was silent for a moment and could only squeeze out a mere number.
Although Lang Yun was confused in his heart, he still said all the good things in his mouth, but he didn't expect that the person opposite him would actually imitate him. His speech became more and more coherent, and his enunciation gradually became clearer.
Because he has learned the Zhu Kun technique, his perception of external objects is also very keen. After this period of observation, he found that there was no sign of anyone around him, and he became suspicious.
"I remember what was written in the book before, 'Mortal souls are thick... Grass and trees are thin...'. Does this method of immortality not refer to the black bamboo forest itself... but to the existence of spiritual things in the black bamboo forest?" Wolf Although Yun was just thinking wildly, he didn't expect to be hit by him unexpectedly.
"We are ignorant and don't know who...who is our senior?" Lang Yun asked aloud, hoping that the other party's answer would verify his guess.
"You ask me? I am..." The voice on the other side seemed to understand Lang Yun's words and started to think seriously, "I am the Black Bamboo Essence..."
"Black Bamboo Essence?" Lang Yun couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he heard this. This Black Bamboo Essence can be said to be the spirit bred by heaven and earth. The method of immortality may be inseparable from this Black Bamboo Essence!
"You said you are the Black Bamboo Essence... Then why can't I see you?" Lang Yun suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked hurriedly.
"I...I can see you, and you can see me...I am here...I am also there..." The black bamboo spirit hurriedly explained, but his words were incoherent and unclear.
After a lot of explanations, Lang Yun finally understood that the original body of the black bamboo essence was exactly this black bamboo forest!
