For the peace of the fairy world
Chapter 85 Luojia Mountain
"Talk about the Mr. Fang I saw last night." Yin Fengzhi said, "The marriage with the Taibai Yin family."
"Is what the eldest lady said true?"
"Mr. Fang, do you think I will joke about this kind of thing?" Yin Fengzhi sat up a little, her expression straightened, her eyes shifted from Fang Huai's pupils to his fingers, "I didn't expect that I would be able to do so in my lifetime." Meet someone with dragon blood."
Fang Huai paused and said, "Miss is so sure that I am..."
"Among the classics passed down from generation to generation in my Yin family, there are several volumes about the long-declined dragon clan." Yin Fengzhi said, "If anyone in this world knows the shape, origin, habits of their clan, and the I am afraid that no one will know more details about Dragon Blood than us."
She glanced at Fang Huai and said, "Although I don't know where the dragon's blood in your body came from, your appearance last night is indeed a symptom of dragon's blood fused in your body."
Fang Huai was silent for a while, then looked at Yin Fengzhi and said, "Then, can Missy confess to me about the hidden weapon in the box last night?"
Yin Fengzhi looked at him and said, "My confession is that I didn't know there was a hidden weapon in there."
Fang Huai looked down in thought, Yin Fengzhi said: "I opened the wooden box when I got it, and there is indeed the third bead inside."
Fang Huai said: "Miss, what do you mean, someone tampered with the box while you didn't notice, and then used your hand to let me get the needle? The needle was quenched with the medicine that would make the dragon's blood in my body lose control?"
Yin Fengzhi said: "That inference is correct."
"Then let's assume that's the case." Fang Huai's indifferent eyes swept over her face, "A person who does things must have two things."
"First, he must be someone close to Missy, so that he can take the wooden box from Missy's side without being noticed. Secondly, he must have known in advance that Missy is coming to see me, and if his goal is For me, I have to make sure that the eldest miss will not open the wooden box on the way, otherwise, won't it hurt the wrong person and scare the snake?"
Yin Fengzhi said: "Young Master Fang is right."
Fang Huai said: "I think these two conditions alone are harsh enough. Is there anyone in my mind?"
Yin Fengzhi and him looked at each other for a moment, then raised their hands and clapped their palms together.
Fang Huai heard the curtain was lifted behind him, he turned around, and saw two maids escorting one of them in, and pinned her to the ground.
Yin Fengzhi looked at the woman, leaned back, and sighed: "I only revealed the itinerary last night to you, and that wooden box was also you... You really have failed me to value you."
Fang Huai glanced at this woman, she looked familiar, she should be the maid who often followed Yin Fengzhi.
The woman just lowered her head, trembling slightly, without saying a word.
Yin Fengzhi said: "It's impossible for you to plan such a big event alone. Say, who is behind you?" She raised her voice, and compared with her usual dignified and elegant, she was a bit more powerful.
The woman remained silent.Yin Fengzhi looked at Fang Huai and said, "Mr. Fang, I already interrogated her like this when I woke up from serious injuries. I know Mr. Fang must have a lot of doubts about me, so I ordered someone to detain her. Wait for Mr. Fang to come and interrogate her."
She turned to the two maids and said, "Put her to death."
"Wait." Fang Huai stopped, "This matter is complicated and confusing, and there are still many doubts I don't understand. Since the eldest lady has already been interrogated, let's detain her first."
Yin Fengzhi pursed his lips and said, "But I know, you already have a suspicion of me in your heart, right?"
Fang Huai said: "Miss, don't worry too much. If the person who plotted against me wants to show me in front of everyone, then the young lady wakes up after being injured by me, and is willing to keep this secret for me, which is enough to prove that the young lady and I That person is different."
Yin Fengzhi looked at him, turned his head and said, "It's best if you think so."
Fang Huai glanced at the woman lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "Then let's discuss the second matter. The marriage between the Yin family and Taibai?"
When Yin Fengzhi heard him talking about this, a blush rose on his face and he said: "Marriage matters should be discussed by the elders. But you and I are people who are entrusted with great trust. Every word and deed must be for the sect family. Consider it. So let's get the matter out of the way for now."
Two maids dragged the woman out of the tent, Fang Huai turned around and said, "I thought the Yin family would prefer the eldest son of the Zhongli family."
Yin Fengzhi said: "The friendship between the Yin family and the Zhongli family does not mean that the two families will marry." She looked at Fang Huai and said, "Even if the patriarch had this intention, as long as he hears about what happened last night , should have changed his mind."
Fang Huai said, "What does Missy mean?"
"Yin's decision to marry a foreign race is all for my clansmen who are sealed at the bottom of Tianxuan Pool." Yin Fengzhi said, "There are no real dragons in the world, but if it is a person with dragon blood, Maybe it can help Yin Shi get out of this bad luck."
When Fang Huai was leaving Yin Fengzhi's tent, he happened to meet Zhong Litan and a disciple rushing up beside him, and they bumped into each other.
As soon as Zhong Litan saw him, an angry and resentful expression appeared on his face, and there was a hint of embarrassment in the resentment.Obviously, he was defeated by his subordinates yesterday, even if it was caused by underestimating the enemy, it also frustrated the confidence of the eldest son of Zhong Li's family.
The two passed by, and Fang Huai heard him being stopped by the maid outside the tent, and asked anxiously, "How is Miss Yin? I brought some high-quality spiritual materials..."
Fang Huai went to visit Shen Miaoqing again, seeing that she was in good spirits, he felt relieved, and met Ding Bai who had just returned to the camp, and thanked him for his concern.Afterwards, he returned to his tent and lay down on the couch. Although he had regained his physical strength from the previous training, he was exhausted with all kinds of guesses and doubts swirling in his mind.
He lay on his back with his arms under his head, sighed, and the black unicorn jumped up and lay down on his belly, with its tail flicking up and down, and the warmth transmitted through his clothes made him feel warm. Fang Huai gradually began to feel sleepy.
He just fell asleep like this, and after falling asleep for a while, he turned over unconsciously, put his hands down and hugged the warm unicorn on his stomach.Yu Shu was lying on the opposite couch, sleeping soundly while hugging a quilt that she had snatched from somewhere.There was a moment of silence in the tent.
Until a disciple's inquiry came from outside the tent: "Brother Fang?"
Yu Shu opened his eyes, and saw the black robed man on the couch opposite him holding Fang Huai in his arms, one arm for him as a pillow, the other arm around his waist, from time to time he bowed his head to his ear, and kissed him on the cheek.
Seeing that Fang Huai's eyelashes fluttered and he was about to wake up, the man's figure instantly turned into black mist and condensed into the appearance of a unicorn.
Yu Shu curled his lips, turned over, and continued to sleep with his back facing outward.
Fang Huai opened his eyes, and responded outside, "What's the matter?"
The disciple said: "Young Master Ding sees that Miss Yin and Miss Shen are all fine, so I asked my senior brother to discuss when to leave the camp and leave."
Fang Huai said: "Okay, please wait a moment, I will come later." The disciple left in response.
Fang Huai waited for the disciple to walk away after finishing speaking, and then got up. Seeing that the unicorn was still obediently nestled in his arms, he unconsciously raised its chin with his hand, stroked the warm and delicate armor on the side of its face with his thumb, and said with a smile : "Why are you so good?"
Qilin still looked at him quietly.Fang Huai got up and went to bed, straightened his clothes, and went out of the tent.
The camp was stationed for two days, and finally set out on the road again.Yin Fengzhi suggested that since such an accident happened, she and Shen Miaoqing were both injured, so the mountain is more dangerous than they imagined, so the four families should go together to avoid accidents.Everyone also agreed.
Fang Huai proposed to go to the mountain where the leading agency was located first, and he took out the third opal, saying that he got it by chance that night.Although Zhong Litan lost the bet, but now his whole heart is on Yin Fengzhi, and he can't care less about competing with Fang Huai.
So everyone went to the leading agency first.
Standing on the stone platform, Fang Huai stuffed the third round bead into the dragon's eye, the light of honey gold was fleeting, and then the three dragon heads vibrated, and the ancient mechanism made a heavy sound.
The disc in the center sank slowly amid the tremors. Less than ten people stood on the stone platform, all looking at the depression.
"That's it?" Someone said.People around the disc all probed to see what was inside the depression.
Before everyone could see clearly, there was another "rumbling" sound from the bottom of the organ, as if something had been lifted up.
It wasn't until the thing was close to the surface of the disk and touched the sunlight that everyone could see its outline clearly.
First the horns, then the head, gorgeous scales, sharp claws, it is a dragon!
What was lifted up by the agency was a lifelike dragon sculpture.
The base of the dragon sculpture is about the same size as the disc that sank before. After the dragon sculpture is fully lifted up, the base fits tightly with the outer ring.The organ returned to silence.
Everyone didn't have any expectations for this mechanism, but after waiting for a while, they found that this was probably all, and it was a bit disappointing.
Fang Huai thought about the meaning of this organ, and Ding Bai said to him: "Junior Brother Fang, let's see what the organ is like, can we go down the mountain and go on the road?"
Fang Huai came back to his senses and smiled, "Naturally." He glanced at the dragon sculpture again.
Ding Bai didn't know why this organ was so attractive to him, not only him, but also the eldest lady of the Yin family. Ding Bai glanced at Yin Fengzhi who was standing opposite, and also looked at the dragon sculpture in a daze.
Zhong Litan said beside Yin Fengzhi: "You like it so much, how about I order someone to remove this mechanism and take it back?"
Yin Fengzhi looked at him and said with a smile, "Okay."
Zhong Litan really ordered his disciples to remove the mechanism.Fang Huai also left the boulder with Ding Bai, and led his disciples down the mountain.
In the evening, they chose another place to camp.The mechanism was placed in Zhongli's camp, Zhong Litan ordered his disciples to clean the mechanism, and he and Fang Huaiding Bai Yinfengzhi were together to discuss the route for the treasure hunt tomorrow.After all, the four families go together, and if the treasure is found, they must be divided into four parts. It is best to go in the same direction and use different routes.
Just as he was talking, suddenly Zhongli's disciple hurried over, Zhonglitan walked aside, and the disciple whispered something in his ear, the latter's expression changed, he came back and said "Excuse me" casually, and then left quickly.
Fang Huai and others didn't understand why.After a while, another Zhongli disciple came and said to Yin Fengzhi: "Our young master has something urgent, please Miss Yin to discuss it alone."
Yin Fengzhi showed doubts, but he still went with the disciple.
It took a long time to go, Fang Huai and Ding Bai reckoned that they would not be able to discuss tonight, so they wanted to go back to their tents.But someone came to invite them again, this time it was Yin Fengzhi's two maids.
"Our young lady thinks that this matter should not be kept from Mr. Fang and Mr. Ding, so please go and tell us."
Fang Huai and Ding Bai looked at each other, then followed the two maids to Yin Fengzhi's tent.
As soon as I entered the tent, I saw that the huge faucet mechanism was placed in the middle and had been wiped clean.Yin Fengzhi and Zhong Litan sat on both sides, with different expressions.In addition, there are two close attendants and cronies who are also standing in the tent.
The maid moved the low stools and asked the two to sit down, Fang Huai said, "Why did the young lady call us here?"
Yin Fengzhi and Zhong Litan looked at each other, and Fang Huai said, "Mr. Fang, have you ever heard of the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra"?"
Before Fang Huai could speak out, Ding Bai said first, "The Sutra of Chasing Lotus Flowers?"
Fang Huai said: "How could I not know that the treasure in the kung fu secret book once belonged to Kunlun, but it was lost thousands of years ago." He paused, raised his eyebrows and said: "Does the eldest miss have any clues?"
Miss Yin said: "When the disciples of Zhongli's family were cleaning this mechanism, they found a volume of scriptures with the words 'chasing lotus' written on the cover." She glanced at Zhonglitan, "After being inspected by Mr. Zhongli, , this is indeed the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra."
Ding Bai's expression was exactly the same as Zhong Litan's expression when he heard his disciple's report: "This is impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible." Zhong Litan said coldly, "I, Zhongli's family, have treasured the fragments of the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra" for generations, so it is impossible to admit that there is no mistake. Moreover, the prohibition on the scriptures can be seen from Kunlun."
Ding Bai couldn't sit still for a while: "Then take out the scriptures and have a look, if it's really my Kunlun's "Chasing the Lotus Sutra"..."
Zhong Litan sneered: "Your Kunlun's "Chasing the Lotus Sutra"? That's all your Kunlun snatched from it!"
Ding Bai's face immediately turned angry, and when he thought about his sneaking before and invited Yin Fengzhi to go, he knew that he wanted to swallow the scriptures all by himself, and by the way, he showed courteousness to the woman, instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "Then what do you do now Isn’t it stolen?”
Zhong Litan said: "It was agreed before entering the mountain that those who encounter treasures will get first served first. Since this scripture was discovered by my Zhongli family disciple, it naturally belongs to my Zhongli family. It's just that Miss Yin is kind enough to let you know. !"
What he said was not without reason.But this is the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra". Since it was lost thousands of years ago, the disciples of Kunlun generations would try their best to find any news. How could Ding Bai hand it over to others.
The two of them stared tensely for a while, Ding Bai suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Fang Huai and said, "I remember that when we met on the top of the mountain a few days ago, Fellow Daoist Zhongli had made an agreement with Junior Brother Fang that whoever would get the third dragon eye bead , who will give the contents inside? Doesn’t this promise count?”
What he said was not at all to defend Fang Huai, but just to suppress Zhong Litan's arrogance.And he did it, Zhong Litan's face turned pale when he heard this, if he wanted to know that Yin Fengzhi gave Fang Huai the beads, he would be even more furious.
Fang Huai wanted to wait and see for a while, but Ding Bai pulled him into the battle with a single sentence.Zhong Litan's eyes fell on him, and seeing that he didn't immediately deny it, he was obviously greedy, and immediately added new and old hatred, wishing to poke a hole in him.
As for Fang Huai himself, he has no interest in the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra", but he is not representing a person at this time, but the White House. A treasure such as the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra", as long as there is a chance, it is Every sect will get it at any cost.
Therefore, Fang Huai's face was calm, but his mouth began to soften: "Well, both of you are right."
Yin Fengzhi couldn't help laughing and said: "Fengzhi thinks that the bet between Mr. Zhongli and Mr. Fang is the first, and the 'first come, first served' is the second. That's why I sent someone to invite Mr. Fang and Mr. Ding." She looked at Zhong Litan, as if to explain, but also to express her apology.
To the woman he loves, how can Zhong Litan say that she does bad things with good intentions, but he and Ding Bai are thorns in each other's eyes, and look at Fang Huai coldly.
Fang Huai continued to be an experienced peacemaker: "It's not a solution for you two to continue arguing like this. Could it be that we were partners just now, and now we are going to turn against each other over a scripture? It's better to calm down and make a long-term plan."
Zhong Litan snorted coldly, stood up and said to Ding Bai and Fang Huai: "If you want to grab it openly, just come here! I'm afraid that the reputation of 'Supreme Immortal Gate' will be defeated by you!" Saying this, he flung the curtain and left .
Fang Huai also got up and said: "The incident happened suddenly, everyone should go back and think about it before discussing it." He said to Ding Bai: "Brother Ding should notify the sect as soon as possible. This trouble, I'm afraid our Baoshan trip will end early."
Ding Bai apologized and said: "Junior Brother Fang, I didn't mean to drag you into the water just now..."
"Maybe." Fang Huai said with a smile, "This item is very important to Kunlun, and senior brother Ding is inevitably anxious, but since the item was found by people from Zhongli's family, I am afraid that all sects will have to sit together and discuss it. "
He said that, why didn't Ding Bai think of it?Ever since he believed that Zhong Litan got the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra", he knew that it was a shocking event, enough to cause a sensation in all sects, and let those high-ranking strangers who had been sitting in the pass all the year round come out and get involved .
He sighed heavily, bid farewell to Miss Yin with Fang Huai, left the tent, and separated somewhere.He looked at the warm smile on Fang Huai's face, and said, "Doesn't Junior Brother Fang want this "Chasing the Lotus Sutra"?"
Fang Huai said: "As far as the sect is concerned, I want it very much. But personally, I want to know where this scripture came from."
Ding Bai was startled and said, "Are you referring to the origin of the scriptures, or..."
Fang Huai said: "An institution has no enchantment, no formation, yet someone dares to put such a precious scripture in it, the compass did not detect it, maybe the restriction is too clever, but the whole thing always reveals a little abnormality .”
Ding Bai said: "You are right. But to Kunlun, the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra" itself is much more important than its origin."
Fang Huai said: "The restrictions in the scriptures, the experts in Kunlun can't break it, right?"
Ding Bai nodded and said: "Yes. So even if Zhong Li's family seized the scriptures by force, he still couldn't ask for them."
Fang Huai shook his head and said, "Then it seems that someone is entangled." After thinking for a while, "Miss Yin can sit still very much."
Ding Bai said: "The Yin family of Wufengtai is already detached from things. It is said that the "Chasing Lotus Sutra" is not suitable for their semi-immortal physique cultivation."
Fang Huai nodded, and Ding Bai looked at him and said, "Actually, in my heart, I don't want all sects to turn against this scripture, especially Kunlun and Taibai."
Fang Huai smiled and said, "The relationship between Kunlun Taibai is a little delicate." It is said that Taibai's founding patriarch was originally an abandoned disciple of Kunlun, but it is not known whether it is true or not.
"No..." Ding Bai said, "I don't want to be your enemy one day."
Fang Huai just pretended that he couldn't hear the deep meaning in his words, and said with a smile: "Let everything take its course."
When Fang Huai returned to the tent, there were already trusted disciples waiting outside the tent, asking him what happened tonight, Fang Huai told about the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra", everyone was shocked.
Fang Huai said: "Please don't act rashly, and don't have any conflicts with people from other families over this, keep a low profile."
"Yes."
"Immediately send the fastest Xinyuan back to the mountain to report to the head."
"Yes!"
In the next few days, although the disciples of the four families still walked together, due to the influence of the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra", the atmosphere among the disciples of each family became stiff, which was inevitable.
In addition to the strange atmosphere, some people also have physical problems.
Fang Huai held the hand of one of his disciples, and saw some strange red spots appeared densely on his wrist from the pulse to the elbow.
"It may be caused by inhaling the miasma in the mountains." The disciple next to him said.After all, a monk's physical body will not be infected with mortal diseases or toxins.
Fang Huai asked the disciple what discomfort he had other than erythema, and the disciple said, "It's nothing, it's just that I've been a little restless during meditation for the past two days."
There were also several disciples who had erythema like this, and they all said that they felt restless recently, but they were not serious. Fang Huai gave them detoxification and calming pills, and they got better.He asked Ding Bai, and some of the Kunlun disciples also had the same symptoms, and they got better after taking the elixir.
They speculated that it was the miasma they had contracted when they went out to search for people that night.There are indeed many poisonous insects, snakes and beasts that can harm the monks' bodies in the mountains, and most of them appear at night.
But unexpectedly, Yin Fengzhi also fell ill.
She didn't have those symptoms, she just fell ill suddenly, and after waking up, according to rumors from her disciples, she was not quite right.Because of this, the Yin family found a place to settle down. She was sick in a tent and refused all visits. Fang Huai, Zhong Litan and others wanted to avoid suspicion because they were men, so it was reasonable to refuse, but even Shen Miaoqing, who had a good relationship with her, was rejected. Off the account.
"There are a lot of strange things in this treasure hunt."
Sleeping in the tent at night, Fang Huai lay on the couch and said to Qilin sitting in front of him.He formed this habit when he was alone recently, because Qilin always looked at him with bright black eyes, and seemed to be willing to listen to him.
"Are you protecting me?"
Fang Huai asked with a smile, a bit like talking to himself, without expecting the other party to answer.He turned over and closed his eyes, his breathing gradually became even, and he fell asleep.
The black mist dissipated and condensed into a man's figure again. He held him in his arms and kissed his forehead.
"Ah."
"Is what the eldest lady said true?"
"Mr. Fang, do you think I will joke about this kind of thing?" Yin Fengzhi sat up a little, her expression straightened, her eyes shifted from Fang Huai's pupils to his fingers, "I didn't expect that I would be able to do so in my lifetime." Meet someone with dragon blood."
Fang Huai paused and said, "Miss is so sure that I am..."
"Among the classics passed down from generation to generation in my Yin family, there are several volumes about the long-declined dragon clan." Yin Fengzhi said, "If anyone in this world knows the shape, origin, habits of their clan, and the I am afraid that no one will know more details about Dragon Blood than us."
She glanced at Fang Huai and said, "Although I don't know where the dragon's blood in your body came from, your appearance last night is indeed a symptom of dragon's blood fused in your body."
Fang Huai was silent for a while, then looked at Yin Fengzhi and said, "Then, can Missy confess to me about the hidden weapon in the box last night?"
Yin Fengzhi looked at him and said, "My confession is that I didn't know there was a hidden weapon in there."
Fang Huai looked down in thought, Yin Fengzhi said: "I opened the wooden box when I got it, and there is indeed the third bead inside."
Fang Huai said: "Miss, what do you mean, someone tampered with the box while you didn't notice, and then used your hand to let me get the needle? The needle was quenched with the medicine that would make the dragon's blood in my body lose control?"
Yin Fengzhi said: "That inference is correct."
"Then let's assume that's the case." Fang Huai's indifferent eyes swept over her face, "A person who does things must have two things."
"First, he must be someone close to Missy, so that he can take the wooden box from Missy's side without being noticed. Secondly, he must have known in advance that Missy is coming to see me, and if his goal is For me, I have to make sure that the eldest miss will not open the wooden box on the way, otherwise, won't it hurt the wrong person and scare the snake?"
Yin Fengzhi said: "Young Master Fang is right."
Fang Huai said: "I think these two conditions alone are harsh enough. Is there anyone in my mind?"
Yin Fengzhi and him looked at each other for a moment, then raised their hands and clapped their palms together.
Fang Huai heard the curtain was lifted behind him, he turned around, and saw two maids escorting one of them in, and pinned her to the ground.
Yin Fengzhi looked at the woman, leaned back, and sighed: "I only revealed the itinerary last night to you, and that wooden box was also you... You really have failed me to value you."
Fang Huai glanced at this woman, she looked familiar, she should be the maid who often followed Yin Fengzhi.

She turned to the two maids and said, "Put her to death."
"Wait." Fang Huai stopped, "This matter is complicated and confusing, and there are still many doubts I don't understand. Since the eldest lady has already been interrogated, let's detain her first."
Yin Fengzhi pursed his lips and said, "But I know, you already have a suspicion of me in your heart, right?"
Fang Huai said: "Miss, don't worry too much. If the person who plotted against me wants to show me in front of everyone, then the young lady wakes up after being injured by me, and is willing to keep this secret for me, which is enough to prove that the young lady and I That person is different."
Yin Fengzhi looked at him, turned his head and said, "It's best if you think so."
Fang Huai glanced at the woman lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "Then let's discuss the second matter. The marriage between the Yin family and Taibai?"
When Yin Fengzhi heard him talking about this, a blush rose on his face and he said: "Marriage matters should be discussed by the elders. But you and I are people who are entrusted with great trust. Every word and deed must be for the sect family. Consider it. So let's get the matter out of the way for now."
Two maids dragged the woman out of the tent, Fang Huai turned around and said, "I thought the Yin family would prefer the eldest son of the Zhongli family."
Yin Fengzhi said: "The friendship between the Yin family and the Zhongli family does not mean that the two families will marry." She looked at Fang Huai and said, "Even if the patriarch had this intention, as long as he hears about what happened last night , should have changed his mind."
Fang Huai said, "What does Missy mean?"
"Yin's decision to marry a foreign race is all for my clansmen who are sealed at the bottom of Tianxuan Pool." Yin Fengzhi said, "There are no real dragons in the world, but if it is a person with dragon blood, Maybe it can help Yin Shi get out of this bad luck."
When Fang Huai was leaving Yin Fengzhi's tent, he happened to meet Zhong Litan and a disciple rushing up beside him, and they bumped into each other.
As soon as Zhong Litan saw him, an angry and resentful expression appeared on his face, and there was a hint of embarrassment in the resentment.Obviously, he was defeated by his subordinates yesterday, even if it was caused by underestimating the enemy, it also frustrated the confidence of the eldest son of Zhong Li's family.

Fang Huai said: "Okay, please wait a moment, I will come later." The disciple left in response.
Fang Huai waited for the disciple to walk away after finishing speaking, and then got up. Seeing that the unicorn was still obediently nestled in his arms, he unconsciously raised its chin with his hand, stroked the warm and delicate armor on the side of its face with his thumb, and said with a smile : "Why are you so good?"
Qilin still looked at him quietly.Fang Huai got up and went to bed, straightened his clothes, and went out of the tent.
The camp was stationed for two days, and finally set out on the road again.Yin Fengzhi suggested that since such an accident happened, she and Shen Miaoqing were both injured, so the mountain is more dangerous than they imagined, so the four families should go together to avoid accidents.Everyone also agreed.

Ding Bai didn't know why this organ was so attractive to him, not only him, but also the eldest lady of the Yin family. Ding Bai glanced at Yin Fengzhi who was standing opposite, and also looked at the dragon sculpture in a daze.
Zhong Litan said beside Yin Fengzhi: "You like it so much, how about I order someone to remove this mechanism and take it back?"
Yin Fengzhi looked at him and said with a smile, "Okay."
Zhong Litan really ordered his disciples to remove the mechanism.Fang Huai also left the boulder with Ding Bai, and led his disciples down the mountain.
In the evening, they chose another place to camp.The mechanism was placed in Zhongli's camp, Zhong Litan ordered his disciples to clean the mechanism, and he and Fang Huaiding Bai Yinfengzhi were together to discuss the route for the treasure hunt tomorrow.After all, the four families go together, and if the treasure is found, they must be divided into four parts. It is best to go in the same direction and use different routes.
Just as he was talking, suddenly Zhongli's disciple hurried over, Zhonglitan walked aside, and the disciple whispered something in his ear, the latter's expression changed, he came back and said "Excuse me" casually, and then left quickly.
Fang Huai and others didn't understand why.After a while, another Zhongli disciple came and said to Yin Fengzhi: "Our young master has something urgent, please Miss Yin to discuss it alone."
Yin Fengzhi showed doubts, but he still went with the disciple.
It took a long time to go, Fang Huai and Ding Bai reckoned that they would not be able to discuss tonight, so they wanted to go back to their tents.But someone came to invite them again, this time it was Yin Fengzhi's two maids.
"Our young lady thinks that this matter should not be kept from Mr. Fang and Mr. Ding, so please go and tell us."
Fang Huai and Ding Bai looked at each other, then followed the two maids to Yin Fengzhi's tent.
As soon as I entered the tent, I saw that the huge faucet mechanism was placed in the middle and had been wiped clean.Yin Fengzhi and Zhong Litan sat on both sides, with different expressions.In addition, there are two close attendants and cronies who are also standing in the tent.
The maid moved the low stools and asked the two to sit down, Fang Huai said, "Why did the young lady call us here?"
Yin Fengzhi and Zhong Litan looked at each other, and Fang Huai said, "Mr. Fang, have you ever heard of the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra"?"
Before Fang Huai could speak out, Ding Bai said first, "The Sutra of Chasing Lotus Flowers?"
Fang Huai said: "How could I not know that the treasure in the kung fu secret book once belonged to Kunlun, but it was lost thousands of years ago." He paused, raised his eyebrows and said: "Does the eldest miss have any clues?"
Miss Yin said: "When the disciples of Zhongli's family were cleaning this mechanism, they found a volume of scriptures with the words 'chasing lotus' written on the cover." She glanced at Zhonglitan, "After being inspected by Mr. Zhongli, , this is indeed the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra."
Ding Bai's expression was exactly the same as Zhong Litan's expression when he heard his disciple's report: "This is impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible." Zhong Litan said coldly, "I, Zhongli's family, have treasured the fragments of the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra" for generations, so it is impossible to admit that there is no mistake. Moreover, the prohibition on the scriptures can be seen from Kunlun."
Ding Bai couldn't sit still for a while: "Then take out the scriptures and have a look, if it's really my Kunlun's "Chasing the Lotus Sutra"..."
Zhong Litan sneered: "Your Kunlun's "Chasing the Lotus Sutra"? That's all your Kunlun snatched from it!"
Ding Bai's face immediately turned angry, and when he thought about his sneaking before and invited Yin Fengzhi to go, he knew that he wanted to swallow the scriptures all by himself, and by the way, he showed courteousness to the woman, instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "Then what do you do now Isn’t it stolen?”
Zhong Litan said: "It was agreed before entering the mountain that those who encounter treasures will get first served first. Since this scripture was discovered by my Zhongli family disciple, it naturally belongs to my Zhongli family. It's just that Miss Yin is kind enough to let you know. !"
What he said was not without reason.But this is the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra". Since it was lost thousands of years ago, the disciples of Kunlun generations would try their best to find any news. How could Ding Bai hand it over to others.
The two of them stared tensely for a while, Ding Bai suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Fang Huai and said, "I remember that when we met on the top of the mountain a few days ago, Fellow Daoist Zhongli had made an agreement with Junior Brother Fang that whoever would get the third dragon eye bead , who will give the contents inside? Doesn’t this promise count?”
What he said was not at all to defend Fang Huai, but just to suppress Zhong Litan's arrogance.And he did it, Zhong Litan's face turned pale when he heard this, if he wanted to know that Yin Fengzhi gave Fang Huai the beads, he would be even more furious.
Fang Huai wanted to wait and see for a while, but Ding Bai pulled him into the battle with a single sentence.Zhong Litan's eyes fell on him, and seeing that he didn't immediately deny it, he was obviously greedy, and immediately added new and old hatred, wishing to poke a hole in him.
As for Fang Huai himself, he has no interest in the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra", but he is not representing a person at this time, but the White House. A treasure such as the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra", as long as there is a chance, it is Every sect will get it at any cost.
Therefore, Fang Huai's face was calm, but his mouth began to soften: "Well, both of you are right."
Yin Fengzhi couldn't help laughing and said: "Fengzhi thinks that the bet between Mr. Zhongli and Mr. Fang is the first, and the 'first come, first served' is the second. That's why I sent someone to invite Mr. Fang and Mr. Ding." She looked at Zhong Litan, as if to explain, but also to express her apology.
To the woman he loves, how can Zhong Litan say that she does bad things with good intentions, but he and Ding Bai are thorns in each other's eyes, and look at Fang Huai coldly.
Fang Huai continued to be an experienced peacemaker: "It's not a solution for you two to continue arguing like this. Could it be that we were partners just now, and now we are going to turn against each other over a scripture? It's better to calm down and make a long-term plan."
Zhong Litan snorted coldly, stood up and said to Ding Bai and Fang Huai: "If you want to grab it openly, just come here! I'm afraid that the reputation of 'Supreme Immortal Gate' will be defeated by you!" Saying this, he flung the curtain and left .
Fang Huai also got up and said: "The incident happened suddenly, everyone should go back and think about it before discussing it." He said to Ding Bai: "Brother Ding should notify the sect as soon as possible. This trouble, I'm afraid our Baoshan trip will end early."
Ding Bai apologized and said: "Junior Brother Fang, I didn't mean to drag you into the water just now..."
"Maybe." Fang Huai said with a smile, "This item is very important to Kunlun, and senior brother Ding is inevitably anxious, but since the item was found by people from Zhongli's family, I am afraid that all sects will have to sit together and discuss it. "
He said that, why didn't Ding Bai think of it?Ever since he believed that Zhong Litan got the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra", he knew that it was a shocking event, enough to cause a sensation in all sects, and let those high-ranking strangers who had been sitting in the pass all the year round come out and get involved .
He sighed heavily, bid farewell to Miss Yin with Fang Huai, left the tent, and separated somewhere.He looked at the warm smile on Fang Huai's face, and said, "Doesn't Junior Brother Fang want this "Chasing the Lotus Sutra"?"
Fang Huai said: "As far as the sect is concerned, I want it very much. But personally, I want to know where this scripture came from."
Ding Bai was startled and said, "Are you referring to the origin of the scriptures, or..."
Fang Huai said: "An institution has no enchantment, no formation, yet someone dares to put such a precious scripture in it, the compass did not detect it, maybe the restriction is too clever, but the whole thing always reveals a little abnormality .”
Ding Bai said: "You are right. But to Kunlun, the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra" itself is much more important than its origin."
Fang Huai said: "The restrictions in the scriptures, the experts in Kunlun can't break it, right?"
Ding Bai nodded and said: "Yes. So even if Zhong Li's family seized the scriptures by force, he still couldn't ask for them."
Fang Huai shook his head and said, "Then it seems that someone is entangled." After thinking for a while, "Miss Yin can sit still very much."
Ding Bai said: "The Yin family of Wufengtai is already detached from things. It is said that the "Chasing Lotus Sutra" is not suitable for their semi-immortal physique cultivation."
Fang Huai nodded, and Ding Bai looked at him and said, "Actually, in my heart, I don't want all sects to turn against this scripture, especially Kunlun and Taibai."
Fang Huai smiled and said, "The relationship between Kunlun Taibai is a little delicate." It is said that Taibai's founding patriarch was originally an abandoned disciple of Kunlun, but it is not known whether it is true or not.
"No..." Ding Bai said, "I don't want to be your enemy one day."
Fang Huai just pretended that he couldn't hear the deep meaning in his words, and said with a smile: "Let everything take its course."
When Fang Huai returned to the tent, there were already trusted disciples waiting outside the tent, asking him what happened tonight, Fang Huai told about the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra", everyone was shocked.
Fang Huai said: "Please don't act rashly, and don't have any conflicts with people from other families over this, keep a low profile."
"Yes."
"Immediately send the fastest Xinyuan back to the mountain to report to the head."
"Yes!"
In the next few days, although the disciples of the four families still walked together, due to the influence of the "Chasing the Lotus Sutra", the atmosphere among the disciples of each family became stiff, which was inevitable.
In addition to the strange atmosphere, some people also have physical problems.
Fang Huai held the hand of one of his disciples, and saw some strange red spots appeared densely on his wrist from the pulse to the elbow.
"It may be caused by inhaling the miasma in the mountains." The disciple next to him said.After all, a monk's physical body will not be infected with mortal diseases or toxins.
Fang Huai asked the disciple what discomfort he had other than erythema, and the disciple said, "It's nothing, it's just that I've been a little restless during meditation for the past two days."
There were also several disciples who had erythema like this, and they all said that they felt restless recently, but they were not serious. Fang Huai gave them detoxification and calming pills, and they got better.He asked Ding Bai, and some of the Kunlun disciples also had the same symptoms, and they got better after taking the elixir.
They speculated that it was the miasma they had contracted when they went out to search for people that night.There are indeed many poisonous insects, snakes and beasts that can harm the monks' bodies in the mountains, and most of them appear at night.
But unexpectedly, Yin Fengzhi also fell ill.
She didn't have those symptoms, she just fell ill suddenly, and after waking up, according to rumors from her disciples, she was not quite right.Because of this, the Yin family found a place to settle down. She was sick in a tent and refused all visits. Fang Huai, Zhong Litan and others wanted to avoid suspicion because they were men, so it was reasonable to refuse, but even Shen Miaoqing, who had a good relationship with her, was rejected. Off the account.
"There are a lot of strange things in this treasure hunt."
Sleeping in the tent at night, Fang Huai lay on the couch and said to Qilin sitting in front of him.He formed this habit when he was alone recently, because Qilin always looked at him with bright black eyes, and seemed to be willing to listen to him.
"Are you protecting me?"
Fang Huai asked with a smile, a bit like talking to himself, without expecting the other party to answer.He turned over and closed his eyes, his breathing gradually became even, and he fell asleep.
The black mist dissipated and condensed into a man's figure again. He held him in his arms and kissed his forehead.
"Ah."
