For the peace of the fairy world

After the king of Chu left, Fang Huai weighed the rusty sword in his hand, and took a little effort to get the sword out of the scabbard. His thumb brushed against the blade, and there was some indentation at the edge of the blade, which seemed to be some lettering. .

He sat idle and had nothing to do, since this favor was going to be sold to the King of Chu anyway, he simply found a dagger from his treasure bag and began to derust it.

Scrape the rusty blade with a dagger, and the place where the dagger scrapes is immediately as bright as new.Starting from the middle of the blade, he carefully scraped off all the rust on it.

The three inscriptions on the sword finally appeared. They turned out to be the words "Poppy", which seemed to be the name of the sword.

This sword is slender and graceful, and the pattern on the hilt is simple and elegant, which actually deserves the name of "beauty".

A high-grade spirit sword, placed in the fairy world, is also a treasure coveted by many cultivators.

Fang Huai was measuring the length of the sword when suddenly his ears moved and he raised his head to face the door of the main hall.

The visitor came to Fang Huai with slow steps. Fang Huai also put the long sword on the case, stood up and said, "Your Excellency is the expert who cured the princess' strange disease?"

"Yes."

Fang Huai was a little strange. He originally guessed that this person should be a monk, but he couldn't feel the other party's spiritual power fluctuations with the spirit ring in his hand. "Dare to ask what you call your friend?"

The man didn't answer, but picked up the brand-new "poppy" on the table.

"Erbajia's body is like a crisp, and she kills ordinary people with a sword at her waist."

The other party put two fingers together, wiped the edge of the sword, shook his head and chanted, "Although no one's head has fallen, the bone marrow is dry in secret."

When Fang Huai heard this poem, he was immediately startled—it was a quatrain written on the first page of the sword manual for the beginner swordsmanship of their Taibai kendo disciples.

Before he had time to speak, he felt the sword wind blowing in front of him, and the man put the point of the sword to his throat, and said with a half smile, "The disciples of the Taibai White House came to the mortal palace, I don't know why?"

In these few words, he hadn't guessed the origin of the other party, but the other party revealed his old background.

The cold sword tip was still touching his throat, Fang Huai was not too panicked, nor did he retreat, but said: "It turns out that the senior already knew the origin of the junior. Please don't misunderstand, the junior is a disciple of the White House , but not representing the sect to find seniors."

"It's too quick to change your mind." The man looked at Fang Huai for a moment, then Shi Shiran put down the sword and threw it back on the table. "The king of Chu said you came here for the golden light grass?"

Fang Huai nodded, and the man lifted his robe, sat down where the King of Chu was before, and said calmly, "To save people?"

Fang Huai said: "It's saving people, but it's not using herbs to save people, but someone exchanged my junior brother's life and asked me to bring back a golden grass from the southeast of the fairy island."

The man let out a sneer and said, "Whimsical."

Fang Huai said: "Although it is a whimsical idea, but for the sake of my junior brother's life, this junior has no choice but to give it a try."

The man kept looking at Fang Huai's face and asked, "Who is that man?"

"Senior means..."

"Those who threaten you with your junior brother's life."

Fang Huai hesitated for a moment.The Taoist laughed lightly: "You want me to explain the whereabouts of the golden light grass, but you don't tell me who you are going to give it to? Then I'm afraid..."

Fang Huai said: "Yin Menghe, the master of Taizhen Palace."

"Yin Menghe?" The Taoist raised his voice slightly to express his surprise, "How can a dignified disciple of the Immortal Sect be associated with such a female devil?"

Fang Huai knew that if things went on like this, sooner or later he would have to explain the ins and outs of the matter, so he simply talked about the matter when they left the Kunlun Trial.

"So you are still from Kunlun." The Taoist's voice became even, and he bit the word "Kunlun" very tightly.

Fang Huai noticed the change in his tone, but he continued to narrate without changing his expression.

He said that he rescued Fang Huai from the treasure hall, then returned to the camp, and returned to Kunlun after a night's rest. Unexpectedly, just after returning to Kunlun, he and Yu Xiao were captured by Yin Menghe and became prisoners of Taizhen Palace. It was the agreement between him and Yin Menghe.

After listening to his narration, the Taoist didn't speak for a while, and when Fang Huai couldn't help but ask him, the Taoist said, "Your story is pretty good."

Fang Huai frowned and said, "This is not a story."

Dao Ren said: "It's not a story? Then explain to me why your junior brother fell into the hands of the witch. Your first thought was not to go back to your sect for help, but to make an agreement with her? As you said, you Both parents are decent monks, but you grew up in the fairy gate, but you would rather believe in a notorious female devil than your decent seniors. Do you think this makes sense? What do you call me? Do you believe it?"

The Taoist's words were to the point, causing Fang Huai to be silent for a while.

The Taoist looked at his expression, sneered, stood up and wanted to leave, but Fang Huai suddenly said: "Although I grew up in the sect of immortals, I don't think that the difference between good and evil in the world is not based on whether you are a fairy or a demon. Among the Immortal Sect, there are also quite a few profit-seeking people who, out of greed, even go so far as to frame others and kill others."

The Taoist's footsteps stopped.As if a little interested by his words: "Oh? Why do you have such an idea?"

Fang Huai lowered his head and pondered for a while, thinking of the Taoist's sudden change of attitude when he mentioned "Kunlun".

This person's hostility and suspicion towards him did not decrease at all because of his narration, but became deeper after knowing that he was also a Kunlun disciple.

Why?What kind of quarrel did this person have with Kunlun?

After Fang Huai thought for a while, the Taoist stood there patiently, waiting for his answer.

Fang Huai said: "Because I suspect that my junior brother was injured in the treasure hall, and it was a Kunlun elder who killed him."

"Oh?" The Taoist raised his voice again, this time he was really interested, "Did you find any clues, or..."

Fang Huai didn't answer his words, but said: "If I want to express my doubts, senior should also tell me my name or dharma name? I can't tell my secret to someone who doesn't know my name. "

The Taoist said with a smile: "My boy, I don't want anyone to take advantage of me. So what if I give you my name? How do you know if I gave you a fake name?"

Fang Huai said: "Senior and I have never met before, so why did you give me a false name? Could it be that senior is some famous person?"

The Taoist laughed sarcastically, but not at Fang Huai, but at himself. "My dao name is Fluctlight. As for the name, it's worth not mentioning it for the unknown."

While saying this, he kept paying attention to Fang Huai's expression, and at the same time put his hands on the table, as long as the other party had the intention to do something, he would immediately grab "Poppy Poppy" to attack.

But Fang Huai's expression was no different from the reaction of ordinary people when they heard the name of someone they met by chance. He just nodded and said, "So it's Senior Yaoguang."

Taoist Yaoguang stared at him for a moment, then sat back on his seat and said, "Now is it time to tell you about your 'secret'?"

Fang Huai then brought together Elder Lou's intentional approach to Yu Xiao at the beginning of the Dao Appreciation Conference, his subsequent secretive difficulties, and the sudden advance of the Kunlun disciple Baodi's trial.

Taoist Yaoguang said after listening: "What you said can indeed be used as a basis to doubt the elder, but it is not enough to make you think that he is the one who hurt your junior brother."

"Yes."

It's time to gamble, Fang Huai thought.Judging from the current situation, the only way to know the whereabouts of the Golden Glowing Grass or the southeast dip is from the Yaoguang Daoist in front of him.However, this person is thoughtful, and although his cultivation base has not yet been tested, Fang Huai is aware of his own strength. Without the treasure bag in his sleeve, he is almost the same as an unarmed mortal, so it is better to use it sparingly and keep a low profile.

Then if you want to gain the trust of this person through conversation, you can only rely on the next dose of strong medicine.

Thinking of this, Fang Huai deliberately remained silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Actually, just now I said that I found an injured junior in the treasure hall, and there is one thing I deliberately concealed."

"So?" Taoist Yaoguang still listened to the story, but he quickly guessed what Fang Huai was going to say, "Did you meet that elder in that treasure hall?"

Fang Huai nodded.

"I didn't see him hurt my junior brother with my own eyes." He said slowly, "But I still killed him."

The candle flames in the main hall were beating and almost burning out.Taoist Yaoguang looked at the rows of candles and squinted his eyes.

"I saw my junior brother lying on the ground in the hall, covered in blood, and his dantian was cut open. And the blood stains stretched from under his body to a door."

"I picked up a sword from the weapon rack and pushed open the door. There were corpses all over the place. I walked past these people and saw Elder Lou lying in the innermost one. He was the only one who was still alive. I don't know The killer didn't intend to keep him alive, so that he would suffer for a while longer in the pain before death."

Speaking of this, Fang Huai's expression became the same as before, expressionless, as if wearing a mask of compassion from a god or Buddha.The Taoist turned his head and glanced at him.

"Then I killed him. A sword through the heart. He was begging me to save him before he died."

After Fang Huai finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief. It was his first time to kill someone, and after thinking about it after such a long time, he was still in a calm mood.

Originally, I just wanted to gain the other party's trust by exchanging secrets, but when the original scene reappeared in front of my eyes, Fang Huai couldn't help muttering: "Look, senior, I actually don't have any evidence to prove that Elder Lou was the murderer of my junior brother. From what I saw, he might still be the same victim as my junior brother. But I still killed him because I didn't want my junior brother to be injured again."

Taoist Yaoguang pondered for a while, and said: "Since he is already on the verge of death, you can pretend to leave without knowing it, and if you wait a little longer, he will still die, so why make up for that sword and be charged with murder instead? "

Fang Huai shook his head and said: "Senior, I was still a disciple of Kunlun at that time. Logically speaking, I should rescue Elder Lou and my junior brother together. But I didn't save him. Since I made up my mind, he has already been my disciple. Killed."

There was a moment of silence between the two.

Taoist Yaoguang finally stopped listening to the story and turned his attention to Fang Huai's face again. "If this is your story too. Then I really admire you."

Fang Huai smiled and said, "My secret is over. Senior, let's get back to the golden grass."

Taoist Yaoguang said: "That golden light grass can be regarded as an adventure for me. Before that, are you interested in listening to me tell a story?"

The lights flickered at last as if exhausted, and the candles in the hall burned out.The two had already set up an enchantment in this hall, so no palace people would come in to add lamps.

The moment the candle was extinguished, Taoist Yaoguang waved his hand, and the thin candle light illuminated the hall again.Although Fang Huai couldn't see it, he could feel the on and off of the light. He blinked and smiled and said, "Okay, please tell me, senior."
