soul repair

When the stone knocking sound and Guan Lingdao came to Congyuan Palace, Mo Baiqi was sitting alone, concentrating on wiping his broken sword in the yard.Guan Lingdao looked inside, but Mo Baiqi didn't raise his head, and asked, "Is there a new disciple outside?"

A stone knocking sound came in: "Palace Master."

Guan Lingdao also walked in.The stone tables and chairs in this courtyard are larger than usual, and the door is higher than other places, so it is empty.Mo Baiqi raised his head to look at him, Guan Lingdao said politely: "Guan Lingdao just entered the palace today, so I came here to meet the Grand Palace Master."

Mo Baiqi only felt that this man had a smile on his face, his brows were long and his eyes were curved, he was a little different from the usual rough men who came into the palace, so he nodded and said, "Which palace are you in?"

"Wooden Palace."

Mo Baiqi stood up, only then did Guan Lingdao realize that this person was more than half a head taller than him, with a burly figure, so he could only look up.Mo Baiqi saw that his eyes moved slightly, as if he was very interested in his broken sword, and asked, "How old is this year?"

"nineteen."

Mo Baiqi nodded, showing the original expression on his face.He sat down and continued to polish his sword, and ignored him: "I've seen it, take him to Twilight Palace."

"Yes."

Guan Lingdao flew down the mountain following the sound of the stone knocking, and said to himself: "Why is the sword used by the Grand Palace Master broken?"

"I don't know, I never asked."

When Shi knocking said this, he didn't look down at him, and his eyes were a little dodgy, Guan Lingdao raised his eyebrows slightly.

The stone knocking coughed lightly and said seriously: "I don't know anything, so don't talk nonsense."

Guan Lingdao smiled and said, "If you knew the origin of his Broken Sword, you must have guessed his identity."

The sound of the stone knocking turned his face slightly, and he took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, everyone in the Shangqing Palace has a past, and no one wants others to know. Even if you guess something, you still have to pretend not to know. , otherwise everyone will be embarrassed." As he spoke, he came to Linfeng Weiming Palace, and Shi Knock said in a low voice: "This is the place where my palace lord lives."

The courtyard where Lu Junye lives is facing the cliff, with cool breeze blowing, it is more spacious than Mo Baiqi's.This place is much more lively than Congyuan Palace. There was a line of more than a dozen people in front of the door, all of them were wearing dark green Taoist uniforms, and the tassels on the wooden sign around their waists were either light yellow or reddish, and from time to time Whispering.

"What are these people here for?"

Shi Knock didn't answer, he explained his purpose in front of the disciples standing at the door, and led Guan Lingdao behind the dozen or so people.He whispered: "The Weiming Palace is in charge of the affairs of the Qing Dynasty. There are 36 deacons alone, which is twice as many as the other two palaces combined. These are all reports. We are just in time for the deacons in the morning. time."

What else did Guan Lingdao want to ask, a disciple came over and said to Shi Knocking: "Deacon Shi, the palace master said that other people's affairs are troublesome, so you should bring them in first."

The sound of knocking on the stone brought Guan Lingdao, and before entering the courtyard, he heard a faint voice coming from inside, a little impatient, it seemed that Lu Junye was admonishing others: "... Ten years ago, everyone wanted to practice in seclusion. I was forced to come out to be a deacon for a year and a half, and I tried my best. Everyone wants to be a deacon now, just for the two elixir every month. The Shangqing Palace is just a few mountains, two or three hundred people, How can there be so many things for them to do?"

No one else dared to speak, so Guan Lingdao followed in quietly, only to see a short fat man sitting at a stone table in the yard, frowning with annoyance.A tall man in dark green clothes stood aside, silent.

Seeing Guan Lingdao coming in with the sound of stone knocking, the short fat man looked him up and down slowly, and said politely, "Is this new?"

"Guan Lingdao has met the Second Palace Master."

Lu Junye didn't have time to talk to him, so he asked a few words and said with a smile: "It's getting late, let him go to Muzhe Palace to rest."

"Yes."

Having finally met the masters of the two palaces, Guan Lingdao was no longer restrained: "What kind of person is the third palace master of Muzhe Palace?"

Shi Knocking gave him a look: "The Lord of the Third Palace is the second-ranked Soul Slayer in the Southern Dynasties. You should behave yourself in front of him, so don't offend him."

"Isn't the soul slayer who specializes in killing soul cultivators unique to the Central Plains?"

"Our Shangqing Palace usually ignores the affairs of the Central Plains, but the proliferation of soul cultivation in the past few years has prevented all schools in the Central Plains from practicing. Therefore, the three masters of the seven sects and six sects formed an alliance in Jiutian Mountain, and set the order of three kills in the fairy world—— Those who give up are killed, those who are heretics are killed by evil spirits, and those who are cultivating souls are killed. Seizures occupy other people's bodies, while evil spirits and heretics harm innocent people. If something serious happens, it will be difficult for us to practice quietly."

The sound of the stone knocking was slightly paused: "But even if all these evil spirits and heretics are added up, the number of people killed is not as high as [-]% of the soul cultivators."

Guan Lingdao frowned and remained silent.

The stone knocking sound said lightly: "There has been no law in the fairyland for many years. All sects and sects either competed for the spirit land, or practiced in seclusion. They didn't come out to deal with it until something happened. There was no rules and chaos. At that time When the Immortal World was in crisis, the major sects had to temporarily put aside their grievances and share a common hatred with the enemy. It would be a good thing to purge them like this. At that time, the Red Sandalwood Palace had already researched the method of subduing soul cultivators. , the Red Sandalwood Palace called on all factions to send the best qualified disciples to practice. The Shangqing Palace could not stay out of the matter, so the old Palace Master sent the Third Palace Master to the Central Plains."

The stone knocking sound paused, and he said again: "At that time, the third palace master was just an ordinary disciple. He became famous in one fell swoop after practicing the soul-slaying technique in the Red Sandalwood Palace. With his handsome appearance and outstanding temperament, he was famous in the Central Plains. But he came back after staying in the Central Plains for less than a year, and lived in seclusion here again. People in the Central Plains call him Yinyun. There are three others who are as famous as him, and there is a poem—"

Guan Lingdao nodded and said, "I've already heard the poem, so I don't need to say it again." After speaking, he thought about it again: "I never imagined that the people in charge of me are so powerful."

Shi Knock said with a smile: "Actually, from the old palace master to the three young palace masters, which one is not a powerful person? It's just that everyone wants to live here in seclusion and doesn't want to talk about the past. The Lord sent to the Central Plains, like them, will be silent here, no one will know."

Having said that, the two of them had already landed outside Muzhe Palace Ji Qingyan's courtyard.The black gate, the white wall, the two green pines on the left and right, towering up to the sky, and the bluestone floor outside the courtyard gate, although it is midsummer, there is no grass growing.Clean, but also inexplicably a little chilly.

Stone knocked on the door.

Guan Lingdao held his breath.
