The next day, the sky became slightly brighter, but the rain showed no sign of stopping.
The rebels slowly packed up, complaining about the unfavorable nature of the gods, and started off muttering.
At about noon, Qi Canghuang suddenly received urgent news that Lin Daozi had suffered an injury and died unfortunately. When Li Xiaoyang heard the bad news, he was so worried that he almost fainted.
Xuanyuan Yi hurriedly helped him stabilize the escape light, supported him and persuaded him: "Life and death are determined by fate. Please express my condolences, leader."
Li Xiaoyang said sadly: "On the day when Master Hejia returned, he told us to work together with one heart and one mind to help others. This time, due to my lack of strategy, my two junior brothers died in a foreign land. How can we meet again under Jiuquan? Mentor?"
Seeing his pity, the cultivators approached him and tried their best to comfort him. Xuanxu and Xuanyin looked at each other and secretly said it was strange. During their visit yesterday, Lin Daozi's injury had improved significantly. They even praised Li Xiaoyang's proper treatment. How could it suddenly worsen?
It doesn't look like Li Xiaoyang has evil intentions, and there is no quarrel between Qi Canghuang and his wife Lin Daozi. Is this really what they were destined to do?
The star fell, the loss was immeasurable, and the Huaqing disciples were immersed in mourning. He Zuwang looks miserable, his heart is ashen, and there is no trace of the spirit of immortality.

Huaqingmen is located in the Xuanji Mountains, with nine peaks including Baoting, Baizhang, Youye, Dengxia, Lanxiu, and Yixing. Each peak is more than ten miles or dozens of miles apart.
Lanxiu Peak can be used as a place to receive foreign guests because of its beautiful forest hills. However, it is unethical to gather all the monks in one place, so they have arranged accommodation for both Climbing Xia Peak and Moving Star Peak.
Qingqiu Huyuan rested with Ji, Susha and Murong in the Lanxiu Peak Villa. However, Hu Buyi heard that there were unused guest rooms at Dengxia Peak, so he excitedly led Hu Xiu to come and follow Tongchenyuan. The disciples crowded around.
This sticky energy makes the cultivators secretly laugh. They have always heard that the nine-tailed fox has a clear distinction between love and hate, so it is true.
Luo Wangshu chuckled and said: "It's a pity that Qingqiu Mountain and Luojia Mountain are far apart. Otherwise, we could see each other day and night."
Hu Buyi didn't come back and said cheekily: "If the owner of the garden doesn't mind the burden, Hu really wants to drag his family to Luojia Mountain and stay there for ten to eight years."
Is it still called a short stay after ten or eight years? It is probably because the Qingqiu fox has a long lifespan.
There were thunderstorms, the sky seemed to be broken, and the light rain continued to fall.
Originally, this kind of weather was most suitable for cats to dream or think about things in bed. Unfortunately, Du Ruozhou was full of turmoil and got some oil-paper umbrellas with peach blossoms printed on them from nowhere, so he decided to go shopping.
Yu Lu and Yan Ci couldn't bear to brush off his good intentions and followed him down the mountain obediently.
If you want to get out of the shadow of losing your best friend, you should look like you are hiking in the mountains.
Du Ruozhou was talking nonsense, walking around in the forest step by step, sometimes teasing the monkeys, sometimes picking mushrooms. Without Li Suyan and Lin Hao sitting next to him, chatting and talking, the atmosphere was extremely stiff.
After a dry walk around the mountains and rivers, Yu Lu and Yan Ci didn't cooperate at all. This Mr. Du felt awkward and angry.
Suddenly, Yan Ci praised her: "She has broad shoulders and a thin waist, narrow but upturned hips, and she has a pretty tall figure."
Yu Lu chimed in, "Not only is he handsome, but he is also handsome. However, he is a bachelor. How pitiful."
Du Ruozhou swept away the gloom, looked back and cursed with a smile: "The two scumbags are staring at me and making me feel uncomfortable."
Yan Ci sang in a vulgar tone: "Lonely bachelor, lonely bachelor, you and I are all bachelors."
puff! Du Ruozhou accidentally burst out of his nose with laughter.
There is a bluestone paved path outside the forest. There is a pine pavilion beside the path. In the pavilion, a man and a woman are meeting each other.
Yan Ci took a few peeks, scratched his head and said in surprise: "Nightingale and Monk Miaozhan, what kind of thing is this?"
This place is remote and few cultivators pass by, but it is still a strange thing to bump into a Buddhist disciple dating a woman.
Du Ruozhou hurriedly looked around and saw the nightingale kicking the pavilion pillar to get angry, and Miao Zhan, the Buddha, looked anxious and comforted him in a low voice.
Yu Lu didn't like to peek into people's privacy, so he made a gesture and quietly retreated.
Seeing may not necessarily be believed. Everyone knows the importance, so if they have seen it, they will forget it. A rumor has not spread to anyone's ears.

The Dongxuan Palace in Baoting Peak was the place where Li Xiaoyang spent his Qing Dynasty.
The palace is full of flowers and trees, clean and solemn, and full of Taoism and Taoism.
The incense-burning Taoist boy lit the cloud incense as usual, yawned repeatedly and leaned at the foot of the incense burner to take a nap, when an unexpected mysterious visitor appeared outside the palace.
The visitor was wearing a black robe, with a black gauze covering his face. He looked at the palace's restrictions as if they were nothing. He passed by the Taoist boy like flowing clouds, crossed the exquisite garden, and quietly arrived in front of the throne room.
There was silence in the room. Li Xiaoyang's jaw was slightly retracted, and he was sitting quietly on the cloud bed in a loose disk position to circulate his breath. His breathing was deep, even and gentle, and he breathed in and out green clouds through his nose. The rays of clouds condensed into substance linger around the body, like a god.
The mysterious guest waited quietly for a few breaths and said calmly: "The alliance leader is undefended. Do you really think that I am a magnanimous person?"
As he spoke, he took off his veil, revealing Zhang Qie's dimples as shy as a rain cloud. The visitor was Luo Wangshu!
A smile appeared on the corners of Li Xiaoyang's lips, he stopped and stood up, motioning Luo Wangshu to take a seat, and said: "The master of the garden is filled with ice, how can I doubt it?"
The two usually had little contact with each other, but now they seemed to be very familiar with each other, and they seemed to have a close friendship.
There was wine on the table. Luo Wangshu filled the pot and sipped alone. He smiled and said: "Baoting Peak has many restrictions. Unfortunately, the lethality is not satisfactory, which is inconsistent with the cautious temperament of the alliance leader."
Li Xiaoyang smiled and said: "Junior Brother Lin set up all the restrictions on the Qing Dynasty, and I have never had any involvement."
Mentioning this matter, Luo Wangshu sighed softly: "When employing people, the alliance leader should temporarily spare Lin Daozi's life."
Li Xiaoyang said calmly: "If you say that Junior Brother Lin's death was not caused by me, I don't know if the Master of the Garden believes it or not."
Luo Wangshu Zhen shook his head slightly and said: "When the former headmaster visited, he said that his injuries were not fatal. Why should the alliance leader hide it?"
Li Xiaoyang sighed: "Junior brother Lin has an upright temperament. He has always been at odds with me because of his different views. Everyone knows this. No wonder the garden master is not willing to believe it."
Luo Wangshu said in surprise: "Is there something hidden in it?"
Li Xiaoyang considered his words and told the whole story.
It turned out that Lin Daozi was greedy for Luo Yinzhu and stirred up troubles everywhere. His various behaviors were unvirtuous. Li Xiaoyang ignored him, not intentionally conniving, but hoping that he could rein in the situation.
Not long ago, the Huaqing Sect encountered another strange incident. The long-cherished secrets of the Xian family were leaked for no reason. After Qi Canghuang's repeated investigations, the evidence all pointed to Lin Daozi. Li Xiaoyang couldn't help but want to clean up the sect.
In view of the close relationship between Lin Daozi and Jialan Temple, Li Xiaoyang did not dare to act rashly. After careful calculation, he chose to ignore what he did. He created the illusion that he was trying to seize the fairy beads, while making false accusations and drums, hoping to conquer Tongchenyuan. Quickly after removal.
Based on the past grievances, Lin Daozi had no doubts, and the deeper the conflict between the two factions, the more satisfied he became, and then he simply stopped obstructing and sat back and waited for the fishermen's benefits.
Li Xiaoyang borrowed a trick and, with Luo Wangshu's permission, leaked the defense plan of Shenzhou Island and pretended to kill someone with a borrowed knife. When Luo Wangshu learned about this, he settled in Zixia Mountain as a matter of course, first to protect himself and then to question the perpetrators.
Yan Ci's challenge to Li Chen was exactly the opportunity to intensify the conflict, and a conflict was about to break out.
Lin Daozi planned a countermeasure. Regardless of Li Xiaoyang's victory or defeat, he should tell the truth, unite with Jialan Temple to remove him from the position of leader and leader, and then try to find the immortal bead.
Unexpectedly, it was not as good as God's calculations. Li Xiaoyang gave in on the spot, and a disaster ended abruptly.
Later, they heard that Xi Yao was united with the Treasure Dragon Clan and that the army was approaching, so they had to postpone their plot.
Li Xiaoyang sighed: "I thought that if we retreated behind enemy lines, everything would come to light, but I didn't know that Junior Brother Lin came back with injuries. Although there were grievances and grudges, we were in the same sect after all. I gave up my murderous intention and still hoped that he would one day repent. As for his sudden death. Passed away, the cause of death is unknown, but it may be related to the strange sword energy of Minghong Dao."
These words were sincere, and upon careful consideration, they did not look like lies. If Li Xiaoyang really wanted to take action, there would be no need to delay and trouble. He only needed to use some means during the rescue to accelerate or stimulate the backlash of the sword energy.
Luo Wangshu thought back and frowned and said: "Lin Daozi is proficient in the art of Qihuang and is very aware of the changes in injuries. It would be difficult to win people's trust if he said that Minghong's sword energy suddenly backfired. The leader of the alliance has not taken action, so he only It’s hard to escape suspicion for the remaining two people.”
Li Xiaoyang knew what he was referring to and said frankly: "I also suspect that Qi Canghuang and Su Buyao are responsible for the rebellion, but the current Huaqing Sect can no longer withstand the torment, and if there is no evidence, it is not appropriate to pursue it."
Luo Wangshu said meaningfully: "If Qi Canghuang is as indifferent to fame and fortune as it seems, why would Pan Shenglin bother to curry favor with him?" She didn't want her words to be mistaken as alienating the friendship between the same family members, so she stopped at that point.
Li Xiaoyang was silent and thoughtful.
Luo Wangshu changed the subject and said: "Who was the secret technique leaked to? Could that person be the instigator behind the scenes?"
Li Xiaoyang shook his head and said: "That person acted rigorously and did not meet Junior Brother Lin in Zixia Mountain. However, the skynet is vast and sparse, and the truth will come out sooner or later."
Luo Wangshu lowered his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered something and said: "The Jackdaw has learned the Immortal Pure Power, has the alliance leader ever noticed it?"
Li Xiaoyang said: "The Immortal Jingtong is indeed miraculous, but compared with the leaked Immortal Yintong, there is a huge difference. What's more, Jackdaw is not enough to attract the services of Kong Ming Stage cultivators. Those who dare to win over Lin Daozi must be powerful. Talented figures, such as Xuanyuan Yi, Xuan Jing and others, and Fu Liuyun have a background in contact with immortal cultivators, so they must beware."
Luo Wangshu said: "After Jackdaw reshaped his body, he changed his temperament and became more arrogant. He hid his edge during the war and only used his Immortal Pure Power to defend against the enemy when he was forced into danger. There must be a mystery in this."
"Once bitten by a snake, and afraid of well ropes for ten years, Jackdaw almost died before, so it makes sense to restrain his sharp edge." Li Xiaoyang said disapprovingly: "This person traced the Buddhist relics, and learned Xian Jingtong from Yin Gang Temple It’s also unknown.”
Luo Wangshu did not comment, talked for a while, and mentioned Han Bing's incident.
Li Xiaoyang reminded: "There must be a way to cultivate both the Maoyang Spirit Body and the Ice Spirit Root. There seems to be a precedent in the Xuanyuan family in the early years. In addition, it is rumored that Lu Wu has been looking for the owner of the Maoyang Spirit Body. If he meets him, Be extra cautious.”
After discussing various conjectures one by one, no one knew the secret of the scepter obtained by Yin Gang Temple. Luo Wangshu was lucky enough to receive it and take a look. After rubbing it for a while, she frowned and said, "The black crystal at the end of the staff contains the purest breath of chaos, but I don't know what its magic is."
Li Xiaoyang smiled bitterly and said: "Xuan Jing also didn't see any clues, but the Xuanyuan clan is determined to get this staff, which is puzzling."
As he spoke, the crowd became more silent. Luo Wangshu stood up and left, saying: "To avoid suspicion from interested people, I still want to hold the alliance leader responsible for leaking the military plane."
Once the loot items are received, the recipients can select a few items first, and the remaining ones will be distributed by the rebels. Recently, the gains had just been counted, and it was the right time for Luo Wangshu to raise this matter.
Seeing Li Xiaoyang's sad face, she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Leader, please don't be perfunctory." After saying that, she left gracefully.
