In a quiet forest behind the village, Xuan Yi sat cross-legged. Xinjue, Ji Ruchen and Jiang Tianrui surrounded Xuanyi in the middle, and each of them used their skills to expel the hostility from Xuanyi's body. I saw three strands of true energy, namely gold, purple and red, flowing in Xuanyi's body, constantly expelling the black energy from his body. After the black energy left Xuanyi's body, it dispersed and slowly seeped into the ground. About half an hour later, the black energy in Xuanyi's body was almost completely eliminated, and the pure Xuanbing Qi circulated smoothly in Xuanyi's body again.
The three of them withdrew their true energy, Xinjue nodded and said, "Junior Brother Xuanyi is fine."
The three of them got up, and Xiaohu immediately came over. He was taking care of Chang Nian, who had just woken up, and the two were talking in a low voice. Seeing that the three of them had finished casting the spell, Xiaohu was worried about Xuanyi's safety, so he settled Chang Nian and ran over. He rushed in front of Xinjue and the other three, slowly put Xuanyi down, found a log for Xuanyi to rest on, and stared at Xuanyi intently.
The three of them had already learned from Xiaohu that after Xuanyi's demonic nature took off, he first injured several people in the world, and even Bikongzi was injured by Xuanyi. Seeing that Xuan Yi had lost his rationality, Bikongzi was worried that it would harm him, so he led everyone away from the place. Xuan Yi couldn't control his bloodthirsty and violent aura. He seemed to smell the smell of blood, or maybe he sensed the smell of living people, so he walked towards the village. Xiaohu and Chang Nian have been following him.
Unexpectedly, when Xuan Yi arrived in the village, he would kill everyone on sight, and the villagers hid everywhere. Chang Nian wanted to stop Xuanyi, but his skill was too weak and he was stunned by Xuanyi with one palm. In order to save Chang Nian, Xiaohu protected him behind him and called to Xuanyi in despair. Xuanyi seemed to be awakened and temporarily stopped moving before being rescued by Ji Ruchen.
Xinjue saw that Xiaohu respected and cared for Xuanyi so much. He smiled and nodded and said, "Xiaohu is kind-hearted and has a chivalrous heart, which is really rare. The poor monk thinks that he and Junior Brother Xuanyi are quite close to each other as masters and disciples! "
Jiang Tianrui also nodded and said: "Senior Brother Xinjue is absolutely right. I think the mind-stimulating Gu and the magical power of Yixin are so strong that this child can awaken Senior Brother Xuanyi. Come to think of it, the fate between the two is indeed not shallow! Junior Sister Ji is really good at raising children. , this kid Xiaohu has such a chivalrous spirit at such a young age, which is really enviable. If it weren’t for his fate with Senior Brother Xuanyi, I would have wanted to accept him as my disciple!"
"The two senior brothers are so complimentary!" Ji Ruchen also looked pleased.
At this moment, two red lights fell from the sky, but it was Yuan Xiaoai and Wei Xinglan who came back. The two met the three seniors. Wei Xinglan cupped his hands and said: "Three uncles, Master Yuan and I...Brother Yuan counted the number of casualties in the village together. There are..." Wei Xinglan hesitated for a long time, no. Dare to continue.
In the end, Yuan Xiaoai cupped his hands and said: "Three seniors. A total of thirteen people were killed in the village, and as many as forty-two were injured! In addition, eight people from the Jianghu community in the inn were killed by Elder Xuanyi. .... However, they have been taken away by Bikongzi and cannot be found."
After hearing this, I felt that the three of them looked at each other, and their hearts tightened. Xuanyi is a disciple of the Righteous Taoist Xiaoyao sect. Although he was framed by the devil cult, he has committed such a serious crime and may not be able to explain it to the Righteous people. But now, it can't be undone, so we can only face it calmly.
Seeing everyone bowing their heads in silence, Ji Ruchen wanted to change the subject, so she said to Jiang Tianrui: "Senior Brother Jiang. Speaking of which, these two disciples of yours are extremely talented and have superb cultivation. The Tiangang Sword Sect really has a successor!"
Xinjue also smiled and said: "What Junior Sister Ji said is true. According to the poor monk, these two young heroes can be regarded as the leaders of my three generations of righteous disciples! Junior Brother Jiang, the poor monk would like to congratulate the successors of the Tiangang Sword Sect. Someone is here!"
Jiang Tianrui had a smile on his face, showing that he was very useful. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Xinjue and Junior Sister Ji, you are so generous. Both of their disciples are also talented people, and the current Jiang Xiaohu and Chang Nian are also rare in a hundred years." It should be said that I am the right person to succeed in my righteous way! Hahahaha..."
At this time, Wei Xinglan pulled the corner of Yuan Xiaoai's clothes and glanced at Jiang Tianrui, seeming to be hinting at something to Yuan Xiaoai. Yuan Xiaoai was puzzled for a moment and just stared at Wei Xinglan. Wei Xinglan coughed slightly, cupped his hands to Jiang Tianrui and said, "Uncle Master, this Brother Yuan is also a disciple of my Tiangang Sword Sect. He wants to——"
Before Wei Xinglan could finish speaking, Jiang Tianrui interrupted him with a wave of his right hand. He looked at Yuan Xiaoai, and the smile on his face was gone. Only then did Yuan Xiaoai understand Wei Xinglan's intention. He hurriedly arranged his blood-stained Taoist robe, dusted off the dust on his body, walked a few steps quickly, came to Jiang Tianrui, bowed deeply, and his face was full of emotions. He solemnly said: "Master Uncle Jiang is here, disciple——"
"This fellow Taoist, you and I are strangers to each other, how come we call him that?" Jiang Tianrui interrupted Yuan Xiaoai before he could finish speaking, and then stood with his hands behind his hands, his face gloomy, and he looked him up and down. His eyes were full of suspicion and contempt.
Yuan Xiaoai's original joyful expression disappeared instantly, and she was speechless and froze on the spot. He didn't know how to answer, so he just looked at Jiang Tianrui blankly. Wei Xinglan was greatly surprised and wanted to step forward, but Ji Ruchen held him back and shook his head gently.
Jiang Tianrui's face was deep. Seeing that Yuan Xiaoai did not answer, the corner of his mouth moved slightly, and then asked again: "Brother Taoist, I see that what you just used is the true method of the Tiangang Sword Sect that has never been passed down to others. Dao Dao, Brother Tao, you Where did you learn this Tiangang Kung Fu?" There was a hint of questioning in his words, and there seemed to be a hint of hostility.
When Yuan Xiaoai heard this, his body suddenly trembled, and his movements froze in mid-air. He did not dare to raise his head to look at Jiang Tianrui, but said lightly: "Uncle Jiang... no... Elder Jiang, please atone for your sins. The disciple cannot tell the inheritance. But the disciple does He is a disciple of the Tiangang Sword Sect, and he is not learning from his master, so I ask Elder Jiang to take a closer look!"
Jiang Tianrui snorted coldly, waved his hand, turned around, and said coldly: "Since you don't want to tell me your inheritance, you can't say that you are my disciple of Tiangang. For the sake of your chivalrous act today, I won't hold you accountable. The origin of your true method and technique! However, our Tiangang Sword Sect is the right way. I have also heard that you are a Liuying celebrity! If you do evil in the future, I will not forgive you!" Speaking of Liuying celebrity, Jiang Tianrui's tone Heavy, as if full of anger.
Yuan Xiaoai looked up at Jiang Tianrui's back, her heart ashen as if she had something to say, but it was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say even a single word. Chanting the Buddha's name in his heart, he walked up to Jiang Tianrui, clasped his hands together, and said in a low voice: "Junior brother Jiang. This Yuan Shaoxia mastered the unique skill of 'breaking seven stars with one sword'. Needless to say, he inherited it from his master." He sighed and said: "The poor monk knows that the Tiangang Sword Sect has always attached great importance to ethics, but Yuan Shaoxia is extremely talented. Wouldn't it be a pity to abandon him like this..."
Jiang Tianrui also bowed his hand to Xinjue and said in a deep voice: "Tianrui understands senior brother's concern. This is a matter in our sect. Tianrui has made his own decision, so senior brother shouldn't bother!"
Seeing Jiang Tianrui's attitude, he just chanted the Buddha's name, clasped his hands in return, and said no more. Wei Xinglan walked up to Jiang Tianrui and was about to speak when he heard Yuan Xiaoai say sadly: "I would like to thank Elder Jiang for your teachings. Please rest assured, Elder Jiang. I have been practicing with my master since I was a child and know the principles of good and evil. I have learned ten skills." Over the years, I have never done anything contrary to chivalry. Master hopes that I can join Tiangang's sect and do my best for the masters on his behalf. Since Elder Jiang has doubts, I'll just go on my own!" , Yuan Xiaoai turned around silently, drew his sword away, and a red light disappeared in the western sky.
Wei Xinglan hurriedly chased after him, but Yuan Xiaoai had already gone and realized how he could catch up. He looked back at Jiang Tianrui, who was still standing with his hands behind his back, and sighed softly. Although he and Yuan Xiaoai only met once, they had a good impression, and they seemed like brothers they hadn't seen for many years. He also greatly admired Yuan Xiaoai's cultivation. He originally hoped that the two of them could return to Tiangang to practice together, but he did not expect that it would end like this.
When everyone was feeling sorry, Jiang Xiaohu suddenly shouted: "Uncle Xuanyi is awake!"
Everyone gathered around, and Xuanyi slowly opened his eyes. There was no blood in his eyes, thinking that the anger had been cleared away. Xiaohu helped Xuanyi stand up, and Xuanyi suddenly felt countless bloodthirsty and violent scenes flashing through his mind.
He carefully recalled what happened before, and he already understood most of it in his heart. He glanced at everyone, then lowered his head slightly, remained silent for a while, and then asked: "Three senior brothers and sisters, in this village, is there--"
Thinking of what just happened, Ji Ruchen's nose felt sore and she almost shed tears. She couldn't bear Xuanyi to expose his scars again, so she walked to Xuanyi, supported him, and comforted him softly: "Brother Xuanyi, you just In order to save everyone, I lost my mind after being attacked by Xuanwu and Meiji. You...don't worry about it!"
Xinjue and Jiang Tianrui also stepped forward to comfort him, but Xuanyi persisted and the three of them could only tell what happened. When Xuan Yi heard this, his face was ashen, he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, and then he finally said: "Before going down the mountain, Master told me many times not to act impulsively, but I still..."
"Senior brother, I can't blame you at this time!" Ji Ruchen wanted to offer some words of comfort, but Xuan Yi waved his hand and said, "Junior sister, there is no need to comfort me. I will report this to Master! I will bear the consequences. But I will bear the consequences. , the innocent villagers and their family members who were killed by me, and asked Junior Sister Ji to take care of them, they should be regarded as atonement for my senior brother!"
Ji Ruchen wiped her tears, nodded and said, "Senior brother, don't worry. This place is at the foot of my Jiuyuan Mountain, and my junior sister will take care of it."
Xinjue sighed and said, "It's over now. The poor monk is going back to Mount Sumeru. Junior Brother Xuanyi, you asked Junior Brother Jiang and me to come here this time, but do you have anything else to do?"
Xuan Yi suddenly raised his head, his eyes regained some look, nodded and said: "Brother Xinjue, Junior Brother Jiang. In that battle just now, did you notice the skills of Demon Sect disciple Jitian?"
Jiang Tianrui frowned and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother reminded me. I found that Jitian's cultivation has reached at least the late stage of the True Realm, which seems to be even better than Xinglan, and... and Yuan Xiaoai. "
"Yes, even the poor monk found it strange!" Xinjue continued to ask, "Junior brother Xuanyi, what do you think?"
Xuan Yi continued: "Junior Sister Ji and I have heard that the Demon Sect has been focusing on cultivating disciples in recent years, and it seems to be expanding by recruiting people from different sects. Judging from today's events, the Demon World seems to have something to do with the Demon Sect. Collusion, and the Holy Envoy of the Witch Clan. We, the good and the devil, have been in a stalemate for hundreds of years, and the Demon Sect has been scheming, and even covets the true method of our Taoist Heavenly Book. They have colluded with the demon world this time, and they must have some conspiracy. Jitian’s talent is not bad. , but Master Nephew Wei and Yuan Xiaoai are not inferior. His cultivation level has advanced so high. In my opinion, in addition to the characteristics of the demon sect's skills, it must be the power of the golden elixir on the Demon Control Mountain."
"The golden elixir from the Demon Control Mountain?" Jiang Tianrui was surprised at first, and then nodded: "Senior brother is absolutely right. It must be the power of the golden elixir! I didn't expect that the Demon Sect would work so hard to cultivate its disciples, and that such an innate elixir would actually give We have become three generations of disciples instead of improving our own cultivation. Come to think of it, the Demon Sect is really going to have a battle with my righteous way, and they have a long-term vision and put the victory or defeat in the hands of the three generations of disciples! If we can't deal with it randomly, I'm afraid we will lose. Take the initiative! Brother Xuanyi, what do you mean?"
Xuanyi said: "Xuanyi invited you two here to remind the four sects of the righteous way to prepare early. The golden elixir may not be of much help to our practice, but it is of great help to the three generations of disciples. It will help them break through the realm quickly! In my humble opinion, we should also select outstanding disciples and give them golden elixirs to help them practice so that they can compete with the devil sect!"
Jiang Tianrui nodded and said: "What senior brother thinks is exactly what I want. The four sects of our righteous path are as close as one family. Why not, our four sects each select outstanding disciples, and ten years later, we will compete with each other to determine the outcome, and the winner will get the golden elixir. These After outstanding disciples improve their cultivation, they will definitely become the mainstay of my righteous path in the future!"
Xuan Yi nodded and said: "The ten-year agreement is very good! I agree with Junior Brother Jiang." He then asked Xinjue and Ji Ruchen, "What do you two think?" Ji Ruchen said: " Senior brother has great foresight. If this happens, I will go to Muxia Peak to see the master and ask her for her opinion."
Xinjue also said: "My Buddhist disciples practice from the inside out and the four elements are empty. We should not rely on the power of the golden elixir. But there are many lay disciples in our sect who are not subject to this precept. Junior Brother Xuanyi suggested that I I should report back to my senior brother and ask him to make a decision."
After the discussion is over, everyone will separate. Ji Ruchen's face was full of apology, and he nodded and said: "Two senior brothers, I was in a hurry this time. Junior sister, I cannot fulfill my friendship as a landlord. I will entertain you again in the future!"
He recited Buddhist scriptures in his heart and said: "Junior sister Ji, you are so polite. I send my disciples to walk in the world because of my sister's care. Senior brother, I would like to thank you. I will definitely bother you in the future. I hope junior sister will take more trouble." Jiang Tianrui also said gratitude. After a few more chats, Jiang Tianrui and Wei Xinglan said goodbye to everyone and left first. Xinjue thanked Xiaohu for Chang Nian and left with Chang Nian. Xuanyi wanted to leave, but Xiaohu was reluctant to leave.
Xuan Yi thought about Jiang Xiaohu risking his life to save him just now, and he also liked the child very much. When Ji Ruchen saw this, he cupped his hands to Xuanyi and said, "Senior Brother Xuanyi, I have something to ask of you." Before Ji Ruchen could finish speaking, Xuanyi said, "Sister, do you want me to accept Xiaohu as my disciple?"
"Exactly!" Ji Ruchen replied: "Senior brother knows about my husband. My sister originally wanted Xiaohu to spend this life safely, but he only wanted to become a hero like his father. Although I don't want to give up, I don't want to either. I see him being depressed all day long and wasting his life. Our Qingxu sect never accepts female disciples. I see that Xiaohu is destined to my senior brother, so I can only ask my senior brother to accept him reluctantly."
Xiaohu was extremely excited when he heard this, his eyes just stared at Xuanyi, his heart full of longing. Xuan Yi smiled at Xiao Hu, and then said to Ji Ruchen: "Xiao Hu is a kind-hearted child, but he has a chivalrous heart at a young age, and his qualifications are also excellent. If I can have such a wise disciple, I can be considered a successor. .only……"
When Ji Ruchen and Jiang Xiaohu heard that Xuan Yi was about to agree, they were happy. Seeing that he seemed to have difficulties, but for some reason, Ji Ruchen asked, "Senior brother, do you have any concerns?"
Xuan Yi sighed: "It's a pity that I was careless, senior brother, and was framed by the devil from the Demon Cult, and made a big mistake. I'm worried that Xiaohu will suffer a lot if he takes me as his teacher, and his talent will be buried!"
When Xiao Hu heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Xuanyi Mountain and said loudly: "Little tiger, don't be afraid! Uncle Xuanyi is willing to take risks to save others. In Xiao Hu's heart, Uncle Xuanyi is a hero! If uncle is punished for this, I’m willing to share the pain!”
"Okay! Good boy! If that's the case, then you can come with me. No matter what happens in the future, we can just face it together as master and disciple." Xuan Yi nodded slightly and finally showed a smile.
Ji Ruchen smiled with tears in her eyes, patted Xiaohu's head and said, "Why don't you worship the master soon!"
Only then did Xiaohu react and immediately bowed his head to Xuanyi and became his disciple. Xuanyi helped the little tiger up and liked it very much. Xuanyi was going to take Jiang Xiaohu back to Qiyuan Mountain, but Ji Ruchen said: "Senior brother, you might as well go to the back mountain with your junior sister first. Junior sister has something to say."
Xuan Yi then remembered that Ji Ruchen had returned from the back mountain and had something to say. He thought it must have something to do with that charming girl, so he agreed. Ji Ruchen said to Xiaohu again: "Xiaohu, you go back to Ruchen Inn first. You can stay away for at least ten years, and ask Uncle Daren to help you pack some clothes. When I come back with you, Master Xuanyi, you Then I will go to Qiyuan Mountain with my uncle." Xiaohu, with a face full of joy, agreed and left first.
Ji Ruchen and Xuanyi arrived at the back mountain of Jiuyuan Mountain. There are many mountains and lush vegetation here, but the road is rugged and few people come here. The two of them looked at the faint black air on a towering mountain peak, their brows furrowed and their faces serious.
After a while, Ji Ruchen said: "Junior sister, I went to see it. It's not something from the demon world, but it seems to be something from the demon world."
Xuan Yi nodded and said: "It is indeed a magic power, and it is imprisoned by magic. However, I can't understand why Mei Ji left this demonic thing here?"
Ji Ruchen shook his head slightly and said: "Junior sister is also puzzled. However, Jiuyuan Mountain is where the spiritual energy of Yanzhou is located, and the appearance of this thing here must be a plan of someone from the Demon Sect. However, junior sister never thought of it. , the Demon Realm that looks down upon the Six Realms actually participated in it."
Xuanyi thought for a moment and said: "There are always no rules and regulations to follow when doing things in the demon world. Junior sister, you are the only one stationed here in Yanzhou, and you are alone. Once something happens, it will be extremely difficult to deal with. I thought I would take this thing back with you, brother. It is safest for Qiyuan Mountain to ask Master to deal with it."
Ji Ruchen nodded and said: "What senior brother said is absolutely true!"
Xuan Yi cast a spell to disperse the black energy, only to see a black bead in the black energy. The black energy was flickering and contained powerful magic power. Xuan Yi did not dare to look down upon it, so he used Taoist Qi to set up a barrier, then took the black bead away and went to Ruchen Inn with Ji Ruchen.
Deep in the dense forest, three men in black saw everything that had just happened. One of them said lightly: "Brother, what a good plan! Every move of the righteous path is in the calculation of senior brother. This Xuan Yi, as expected, brought the magic fang back." He came to Qiyuan Mountain, but he helped us solve a big problem." The person who spoke was none other than the Nether Sword King, and the young man standing next to him was Ji Tian.
I heard another person nodded slightly and said: "Okay. Junior brother, Jitian, you have worked hard. Let's go now! I think Zhengdao will focus on training young disciples to compete with us in the past ten years, and we cannot fall behind! Otherwise, There is no formation, even if we win, we will still be controlled by others!"
After the man finished speaking, Nether Sword King and Jitian nodded slightly, and the three of them turned into three black lights and flew towards the south.
