Qingcheng Mountain, behind the two gatekeepers.
Several elders looked at everything happening under the peach tree with different expressions.
"This... I didn't expect that the one who finally broke the game was actually a... pig? Hahaha!"
"Hmph, the damn remnants of the demon race, I should have slapped them to death in the first place!"
Some of the elders laughed heartily, and some of them were angry.
They all come from two factions within the sect that have different attitudes towards the matter of the Great Elder, and now their attitudes towards the leader are also polarized.
One faction has prepared to bring the matter to light in an attempt to gain the support of the disciples, and then force the leader to investigate the cause of the great elder's death.
Therefore, when they learned that Zhizi was going down the mountain, they were very anxious. Due to various obstructions from the other faction, they had no chance to take action.
As for the other faction, they believe that Qingcheng Mountain, without the great elder, should support all the decisions of the leader and should not have two voices appearing in the sect at the same time.
The two factions were also very noisy, and they had to roll up their sleeves and have a fight several times.
But the only good thing is that most of the disciples have not been involved in this muddy water, otherwise the entire Qingcheng Mountain will be a mess.
"Look, even if the leader takes action, he can't keep Daozi. It's God's will for Daozi to go down the mountain, and God's will cannot be violated!" An elder laughed.
"Hmph, so what if Daozi comes down from the mountain? At worst, we can promote it among the disciples one by one. I don't believe that the disciples of Qingcheng Mountain will turn a blind eye like the cold-blooded and ruthless people like you who have dedicated their whole lives to Qingcheng Mountain for so many years! "The other elder smiled coldly, then looked at the figure of the woman under the peach blossom tree, squinted and said, "That woman... looks very familiar."
…………
Under the peach blossom tree.
Seeing the pig demon still chewing the butterfly he had just eaten, Yiniao approached and asked curiously, "What are you eating?"
The pig demon raised his eyelids and glanced at it and said, "I haven't eaten anything yet. Don't think about it, it's gone!"
"Tch, I'm not even curious about it! What good food can you find for a dead pig like you?" Yi Niao said loudly, resisting the waves of hunger coming from his empty belly.
And the pig demon didn't know what was going on. The chirping sound became louder and louder. Yiniao swallowed hard and stared at the pig demon's mouth, wishing to tear it into pieces completely so that it would never make such an ugly sound again. the sound of.
Ever since they left the Demon Suppression and Forbidden Tower, Yiniao has never had a trace of meat.
But on Qingcheng Mountain, it doesn't dare to indulge in meat. It can only eat some vegetables and vegetarian noodles with the Taoist priests every day. Even if it eats more, it will attract the unkind looks of the elders in charge of the food.
This makes him very worried that if he eats a little too much one day, the Presbyterian Council will just throw it into the pot and cook it.
Seeing the displeased expression on Yiniao's face, the pig demon seemed very happy, and its chirping voice became louder and louder, and even sizzling began to flow from its mouth, almost reaching Meng's shoulders.
"If it gets on my clothes, I'll chop off your tongue!" Liao Meng suddenly said in a cold voice.
The pig demon suddenly trembled with fright and quickly swallowed back all the spilled bits.
"Dao...Master Daozi, you...you're awake!" The pig demon carefully placed his hoof back on the ground, with a smile on his face.
"Are you the Daozi of Qingcheng Mountain?" the woman on the side said.
Luo Meng did not look at the woman, but raised his head and saw a peach blossom tree under the snowy moonlight.
Everything is shining with silver light, as bright as the stars.
"Eh? Are you deaf? I'm talking to you!"
Seeing Meng and ignoring her, the woman approached him reluctantly, hoping to get an explanation from him.
At this time, a peach blossom fell, like a lonely boat in the silver river, drifting towards an unknown foreign land.
Liao Meng had a vague feeling in her heart and raised her hand to catch the peach blossom.
However, at this moment, a breeze blew by, blowing the peach blossom directly to the woman on the side.
The woman subconsciously caught it with her hands and looked at Meng blankly.
The moonlight pours down, the snow is fragile, and the boy and girl look at each other.
As the two looked at each other, countless flying snow swayed down, as if it had turned into a long river of time, making the two people on both sides of the snow curtain look like they had experienced a lot of vicissitudes of life.
It seemed that even Snowflake tried his best to keep the sound of footsteps down, not wanting to break the tranquility of the moment, but just wandering quietly in the air.
"What... is your name?" Liao Meng looked at the woman and asked.
The woman seemed a little embarrassed by him. She turned away and whispered, "My name is Jiang Zhiyuan."
Liao Meng lowered her head and thought about the name, "Jiang... Zhi... Yuan... were you the third princess of the Jiang Dynasty?"
Jiang Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, his eyes dimming a bit.
At this time, Sima Nan, who had arrived at some unknown time, suddenly walked over with a smile.
"I have met Her Highness the Third Princess!" Sima Nan bowed to Jiang Zhiyuan and said softly.
Jiang Zhiyuan turned sideways and said coldly, "The princess of the previous dynasty is not subject to the courtesy of the current dynasty."
The smile on Sima Nan's face did not change and he continued, "I wonder why the third princess is here today?"
Jiang Zhiyuan snorted coldly, pointed at the two demons who were trying their best to reduce their presence and said, "I met these two demons sneaking around on the road, so I chased them all the way here. By the way, these two demons claim to be your Taoist demons. Pet, is it true?"
Jiang Zhiyuan turned to look at Liao Meng, who had been looking at him in trance. Liao Meng was stunned and said, "Yes, they are my demon pets. But don't worry, I have made them swear a poisonous oath. I will never massacre the human race."
Jiang Zhiyuan looked at the two demons with suspicious eyes again. Yiniao immediately tensed up his body and said loudly with a righteous look, "Yes, I have completely changed my mind and become a demon again! In the rest of my life, I will I want to be a happy demon, feeding horses, chopping firewood, traveling around the world, facing the sea, and the flowers are blooming in spring!"
The pig demon also waved its hooves, stood up, and said loudly, "I want to be a noble demon, a pure demon, a demon that has escaped from vulgar taste, and a demon that is beneficial to the human race!"
The pig demon shouted so loudly that even the gatekeepers standing far away could hear it clearly and couldn't help laughing.
"These two monsters are also very brave and dare to joke in front of the master."
"Haha, who says it's not the case? I guess you have Daozi-sama standing by to support you, so it's not a big deal. It doesn't hurt. Just now I seemed to hear the headmaster calling the woman princess..."
"Yes, I heard it too. It seems she is still...the third princess! Yes! I remembered that there was a third princess before the Jiang Dynasty! Her name was Jiang Zhiyuan!"
…………
"You monster, if you don't have any other skills, you've mastered this smooth-tongued skill! You dare to speak like this in front of the third princess. I think it's time to teach you a lesson, otherwise you can really raise your tail. Go to the sky!" Sima Nanpi said to the pig demon with a smile.
The pig demon suddenly felt a chill creep up from his back, and his two hooves couldn't help but tremble, all because of Sima Nan's majestic gaze.
Jiang Zhiyuan on the side couldn't help but laugh when he saw the pig demon's scared look. However, although she wanted Sima Nan to give the pig demon a good lesson, she remained silent at this time. After all, this was the territory of Qingcheng Mountain, and the pig demon was also Daozi Lingmeng's pet, and she was an outsider. It's not easy to get involved in these things.
"Just because it said a few words, does it have to be punished?" Liao Meng suddenly said, "Master, this is a bit too much!"
There was a hint of violence in Sima Nan's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "There's nothing excessive about this. After all, the demon clan is a demon clan, and if it's not my clan, its mentality must be different! "
Liao Meng shook his head and said, "I think the leader is thinking about his peach blossom butterfly being eaten by this pig monster! That peach blossom butterfly is very precious. Without that peach blossom butterfly, I'm afraid there will be no more peach blossom butterflies in the future." There is a way to arrange peach blossom fairies for people."
As soon as these words came out, Sima Nan's face instantly became gloomy, and even his original warm smile disappeared.
There is nothing wrong with having a dream. The reason why Sima Nan found an excuse to teach the pig demon a lesson was precisely because the butterfly it just ate was an important way for Sima Nan to set up an illusion for the dream.
Peach Blossom Fairy is an extremely powerful trapping formation in Qingcheng Mountain. Although it can only trap one person in it at a time, the trapped person is almost unable to break the formation independently, and will not even realize that he is trapped in the trapping formation. .
If you want to crack this Peach Blossom Fairy, you can only find the strange object used as the formation eye, the Peach Blossom Butterfly.
The peach blossom butterfly is an extremely rare butterfly. It is said that only one peach blossom butterfly is born among millions of butterflies.
Not only is its lifespan extremely short, it is also very fragile.
Its only function is to quickly relax people's minds and fall into a coma. As long as it remains in close contact with people, people cannot actively wake up.
"If there is nothing else, please ask the third princess to come down the mountain quickly. No matter what you want to do in Yongzhou now, we at Qingcheng Mountain have no interest in asking about it, and we will not interfere with it."
After saying that, Sima Nan disappeared instantly and was no longer seen.
After Jiang Zhiyuan heard what Sima Nan said, he immediately gave up the idea of going up the mountain to visit him. He said goodbye to Meng curtly, then turned around and went down the mountain.
The clarity of the moonlight was in sharp contrast to the darkness of the shadow of the old peach tree. Liao Meng stood in the darkness, silent for a long time.
"Daozi, is there a return date for this trip?" An elder stood at the gate of Qingcheng Mountain and shouted loudly.
Without saying a word, he took a step forward and disappeared into the night. The two demons immediately followed him.
After a long time, a cold voice came faintly under the cover of the night.
"You asked about the return date but there is no timetable. On this trip, there is no question about east and west."
The elder bowed deeply and said, "Tao Zi, take care of yourself all the way."
…………
Sima Nan slowly walked into the main hall and stared at the Sanqing Taoist statue quietly.
After a long time, he slowly sat down cross-legged and sat on the futon.
Just when he stretched his sleeves and was about to meditate, he accidentally touched the lottery tube placed aside.
The bamboo stick fell to the ground and a bamboo stick flew out.
Sima Nan subconsciously raised his right hand to take the bamboo stick and put it into the bamboo stick.
Not knowing what was going on, Sima Nan suddenly felt something and lowered his head to look at the content on the bamboo stick.
After a long time, Sima Nan sighed and looked at the sky outside the hall.
“It’s hard to go against God’s will!”
