In the gap of time, I looked back and saw that I had gone far, far away on that long road that seemed to have no end.
Shushan, Tai Chi Hall.
Chang Yin put his hands behind his hands and stood quietly in front of the hall.
Under the white jade steps, several generations of disciples gathered together. Everyone looked at the killed disciples guarding the Demon Locking Tower and were filled with indignation.
Shushan disciples were killed in front of their own homes? It’s really the most ridiculous thing in the world!
After a while, the last group of disciples arrived. The head disciple Jiang Ming stood at the front, leading the disciples, clasping their fists and saying respectfully: "Elder Yuanshen!"
"Any clues?" Chang Yin asked directly.
Over the years, the head brother has been in seclusion all the year round, learning the secrets of dealing with the evil sword immortal, and basically teaching him everything up and down the Shu Mountain, which is exhausting for him.
The most pitiful thing is that this head disciple has no one to teach him, so he can only go to the Sutra Pavilion to study on his own. Occasionally he comes to ask for advice when he has any questions. Fortunately, he is very talented and has the highest cultivation level among all the disciples.
"Judging from the wounds of the junior brothers, they are basically scratches, and there is still a trace of evil and foxy aura, so it should be a fox demon with accomplished cultivation.
The disciple immediately organized his junior brothers to search the entire Shu Mountain. "Jiang Ming responded.
Chang Yin raised his hand to stop: "No need!"
After saying that, he walked to the body on the ground, raised his hand to draw out a wisp of breath, and then stretched out his hand to explore. A circular black hole appeared in the void, with a thin layer leading to an unknown place.
"Shua~"
A spirit body was actually captured from the black hole, and its face was clearly that of Junior Brother Jingjing on the ground.
All the disciples were startled and took three steps back slightly.
There is something strange in broad daylight?
"Meet the elder Yuanshen!" Ning Jing handed over.
With the development of Chang Yin's Taoist body in the small world, it has been able to greatly interfere with the operation of the small world, and can even make corresponding arrangements for human affairs with the help of the power of the small world.
For example, not long ago, all people from Shushan, as long as they leave soul lamps in the Sutra Pavilion, their true souls will be immediately taken to the Netherworld after their death, and will be granted a priesthood based on their contribution to Shushan.
If you work hard enough in this small world, you may never know whether you will live forever.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Chang Yin asked.
"Reporting to Elder Yuanshen, we were on duty at the Demon Locking Tower last night when a white-clothed fox demon suddenly appeared. It was amazingly powerful and had a deep understanding of my Shushan swordsmanship. He easily found our flaws and killed us.
At a glance, the disciple only saw the fox demon's clothes, but as for his appearance..."
Jing Jing was a little embarrassed. It would be too miserable for him to be pulled out and shamed after doing something weird. This time I will work hard in the new world and become a higher priest as soon as possible.
Chang Yin nodded: "Just draw the clothes."
After a while.
“Where is the Mountain and River Map?”
【唰~】
There was a flash in the sky, and a huge map appeared high in the sky. On it, the earth's veins were running, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and the changes in spiritual energy tides were eye-catching.
"Based on this piece of clothing, search all the things, objects, and people in the ten miles around Shushan within ten days." Chang Yin ordered directly.
In recent years, according to Le Ye's hobbies, he has specially made an intelligent upgrade for the mountain and river map, which makes it easier for him to peek around and watch the show. He can be said to be a conscientious man.
Little Yellow Cat:? ? ?
[Didi, the search has been completed and the target has been found. 】
The prompt was completed, and a picture quickly appeared on the huge mountain and river map, flashing past at a speed that ordinary people could not recognize.
Fortunately, everyone is a practitioner and can barely recognize it.
After a long while, Jiang Ming stood there with a pale face, while the other disciples looked at him critically. Because most of the images that appear in the picture are of a woman he brought back from outside: Nuyuan.
"Impossible, impossible!" Jiang Ming looked at this scene in disbelief.
A few days ago, he went down the mountain to rescue the villagers from the plague, and met the most beautiful, kind and gentle woman he had ever seen in his life: Nuyuan. For the safety of the villagers, she personally collected and cooked medicine for the villagers. She was so undressed that she fell ill in the end.
After the plague was solved, Nuyuan's illness was not cured and she was even dying. He had no choice but to bring her to Shushan. After all, there was the best doctor here: Le Ye.
Over the past few days, Nuyuan's condition has gradually improved, and the relationship between the two has warmed up rapidly. Day and night, they understand each other deeply.
But now he is told that his lover is a banshee, or even a banshee who killed his junior brother?
After reading the image, Chang Yin's eyes narrowed and he stretched out his hand to grab it: "Come here!"
"Brush~" A white figure was caught from nowhere by him. It was obvious that its cultivation level had reached a level unimaginable by ordinary people.
"Ah! Jiang Ming, save me!"
"Elder Yuanshen!" Jiang Ming quickly stepped forward and swung away Chang Yin's spell with his sword, and supported his sweetheart.
Chang Yin was noncommittal, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he put his hands behind his hands: "Your name is Nuyuan? I think the aura on your body is a nine-tailed sky fox, and it comes from the demon world.
The human world has not had any disputes with the demon world these years, so why did you kill my Shushan disciples and even intend to open the demon locking tower? "
Nuyuan covered her heart and leaned into Jiang Ming's arms. Her skin was as radiant as snow, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water, turning several times on everyone's face.
This girl's appearance is extremely beautiful, and there is a faint air of book between her eyebrows, which is eye-catching. A trace of blood at the corner of her mouth made her even more pitiful and lovable.
"Jiang Ming, what's going on?" The girl looked at Jiang Ming affectionately.
Jiang Ming said quickly: "Nvyuan, please explain to Elder Yuanshen quickly that it was not you who killed my junior brother."
Since he was worshiped by the master, he accidentally heard the master say that although this generation of Yuanshen elders was the most inconspicuous in the history of Shushan, its strength was also the strongest in history.
After more than twenty years of hard training, he still didn't even know how strong the elder Yuanshen was. There is only one feeling at the moment, like an abyss or an ocean, unfathomable.
Nuyuan shook her head quietly: "I don't know why you killed a disciple? Jiang Ming, don't you believe me?"
Chang Yin laughed.
Compared to myself, this little demon's acting skills are far behind. If it weren't for Jiang Ming's sake, if he identified the murderer, he would be punished directly, imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower, refine the demon power, and help his disciples practice.
"interesting!"
With a chuckle, Chang Yin instantly appeared in front of Nuyuan, pointed his finger into a sword, and pointed it between her eyebrows.
A loud shout was heard: "Monster, tell me why you came to Shushan!"
Nuyuan was in a trance for a while, and then the memory in her mind flipped and turned into a projection directly in the void in front of her.
This allows the disciples, including Jiang Mingzai, to intuitively judge what is going on and make them convinced.
It turns out that since the Demon King led the elites of the demon world to attack the human world a hundred years ago and were trapped in the Demon Locking Tower, the demon world has completely fallen into chaos.
Over the past hundred years, various tribes in the demon world have been fighting endlessly, and no one surrenders to anyone. Every year, there are countless casualties.
It's okay for the strong clan, it is said that the weak can eat the strong, but they still have elders to take care of them, so they can at least stabilize their practice. Although the fox clan is smart, their combat power has always been a major weakness.
In the past, it was okay when the Sky Demon Emperor was around. He was worshiped as a military advisor. The Sky Demon Emperor looked after the Sky Fox clan and no one dared to mess with them. What now? As long as they are from a wealthy clan, they will send people over to ask Tianhu to pay tribute to a few beautiful girls from the Fox clan every once in a while.
If this continues, won't the Fox clan completely sink and become slaves to all clans in the demon world?
So the seniors of the Fox clan worked hard and tried their best, and finally obtained the boundary-breaking formation used by the Demon Emperor when he invaded the human world. After miniaturizing it, they sent her here alone.
As a leader of the younger generation of the Fox clan, Nuyuan originally prepared more than a dozen plans to enter Shushan after carefully and secretly inquiring about the various habits of the Shushan disciples and elders.
One of them is that he often washes his feet by the river. According to the intelligence, the cat raised by Elder Shushan Yuanshen has a weird quirk.
Unexpectedly, in just one outing, he accidentally came into contact with the chief disciple of Shushan, and then relied on Jiang Ming to enter Shushan, and even got close to the Demon Locking Tower easily.
But the Demon Locking Tower was actually sealed by a strange cat symbol, and the clan's forbidden weapon that destroyed the formation didn't work at all. Originally, she was planning to discuss with Jiang Ming what was going on with the cat symbol, but she was immediately arrested by the Yuanshen Elder.
When did Shushan become so powerful? And what kind of text is that cat text? Could it be a variation of the legendary dragon seal and phoenix seal script from ancient times?
…
Withdrawing the secret technique, Chang Yin looked at Jiang Ming quietly without saying a word.
He wanted to know what this new generation of disciples would do.
Nuyuan opened her eyes, feeling a little confused. What happened? By the way, you must not expose yourself. You are the real hope of the Fox Clan.
The girl looked at Jiang Ming affectionately: "Don't you even believe me? If so, then kill me with your own hands. Nuyuan is already yours, and I only want to die in your hands."
Jiang Ming clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes full of disappointment.
Why, why did she lie to herself? He was even ready to give up his position as the leader of Shushan and stay with her.
Is love so painful?
"Uh-huh!"
The sharp sword was placed on Nuyuan's white and tender neck, and a trace of blood flowed out. Jiang Ming began to hesitate.
"Elder Yuanshen, should I kill her? Should I kill her?"
Is it right for people to eat animals? Is it wrong for animals to turn into monsters and kill people? The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. Is this the way of humanity or the way of heaven?
Chang Yin shook his head. It was a pity that the head disciple of this generation had a crooked butt.
"Jiang Ming, you have been practicing the Tao for twenty years in vain. Now you are like a person who has never heard of the sutra or the teacher. He cannot wake up, blocks himself from the sun, is willful, keeps thinking, never returns, and is trapped in the outer world of the world. , disrupting the body and mind, causing the six sense organs to act erratically."
Jiang Ming struggled for a moment, raised his head, and looked straight at Chang Yin.
"Elder Yuanshen, I want to ask, if I didn't kill Nuyuan, would what I did be evil? The ten evils mentioned in my Shushan classics are: killing, stealing, sexual immorality, lying, double-talk, harsh words, idle talk, Greed, anger (huì), wrong views.
Elder Yuanshen, please tell me what is real evil? "
With that said, Jiang Ming turned around, pointed his sword at all the brothers slowly, and asked: "Do you know? Have you really seen and felt evil in person?
Or are you just confused and confused, just following what others say? "
Chang Yin sighed. He had the same temperament as his senior brother back then. He was deeply rooted in love and couldn't extricate himself.
"Jiang Ming, no matter what, this monster killed my Shushan disciple, so don't be obsessed with it anymore!"
"Obsessed? Which one is it?" Jiang Ming asked unconvinced.
Then, he raised his hand and struck a sword, and dozens of sword energy directly passed through Nuyuan's body. In an instant, the vixen's monster body was displayed in front of everyone. Her body was graceful, her skin was white, and her appearance was beautiful. The hills and canyons were like the world. The most beautiful creation.
Look no further!
The disciples quickly turned their heads and turned to one side.
"Meow?" The little yellow cat ran over immediately, eating melon and watching from the front row.
The only people present were Chang Yin and a young disciple who looked directly at him without any disturbance in their eyes.
Chang Yin frowned: "Bold Jiang Ming, what do you mean? Dirty our Holy Land in Shushan?"
Although Le Ye appreciates this kind of performance art, this is Shushan. How will the world view it if word spreads about it?
Jiang Ming was extremely angry and laughed back: "Holy land? To preserve the laws of heaven and destroy human desires, this place is obviously hell!
Elder Yuanshen, I remember you said that a gentleman or a villain always thinks about doing evil, and turns into evil deceit, and thinks about doing good, and turns into a good god. Form in the human world is essentially empty. If there are no evil thoughts in the heart, how can one be emotionally affected by what he sees in front of him?
You say Nuyuan is evil, is she now? Why don't you dare to look at it? Or is it that our hearts are the devil? "
The disciples were silent.
Chang Yin and the little yellow cat fell into deep thought.
The truth is indeed true, but this banshee killed a disciple of Shushan and paid for his life with a murder. Is there any problem?
It's now.
Jiang Ming transformed into sword light, rolled up Nuyuan who was staying there, and rushed down the mountain.
"Bang~"
Before they could rush down the mountain, they collided directly with the barrier. The two of them hit their heads with blood and fell down the rock.
Chang Yin almost laughed out loud, and quickly sealed his facial muscles with magic power, his face full of seriousness.
The elder Yuanshen must be dignified!
The little yellow cat didn't care about the image at all, grinning widely.
This formation in Shushan has been rebuilt and transformed several times over the years, and is now modular and hierarchical. Each disciple's jade talisman can enter the area and stay there for a different time.
Some even need to use sect contribution to temporarily grant it.
The female garden was able to get close to the Demon Locking Tower before, naturally because of its own talent. Jiang Ming was exhausted, so he poured all his money into help, slept to death, and could only get closer with his token.
And the authority to cancel the token was within a thought of Elder Yuanshen. It can be said that after the invading enemy enters Shushan, it is almost impossible to escape in front of him.
On the ground, Nuyuan seemed to understand something and pushed Jiang Ming away with a look of determination on her face.
"Ms. sir, don't worry about me. Everything is my fault. They are right. These days, I have been close to you just to destroy the Demon Locking Tower.
You go! "
As the saying goes, love grows over time. After so many days of communication, she had already fallen in love with Jiang Ming. She fell in love with this simple, cute, knowledgeable, genius and immortal man.
I even thought about a lot, such as taking him back to the clan after the mission was successful and giving birth to many children for him.
Sometimes, one thing in front of you and another behind your back, this is true love.
Jiang Ming looked around with his sword in hand, looking at the junior brothers who once loved each other. Some of them looked at him with disgust and felt confused.
Was he really wrong?
