soul repair

As soon as he left Wangzhuang, he burned the Huoyang paper and sent out the secret letter, asking Sanchen to arrest the soul cultivator of Shangqing Palace immediately.Lu Yesheng disappeared on the way back, and the group traveled much faster, and they rushed back in a few days.

It's a pity that Pei Xiaoshen injured six disciples while running for his life in a panic, and was beaten to death by the Grand Palace Master, and he is still not awake.Without further ado, Ji Qingyan sat beside the skinny Pei Xiaoshen, closed his eyes while holding his wrist.

"That's right, he's a soul cultivator." The hostility in his body was raging, as if he had killed many people.

Shi Knocking was sitting aside, with the most complicated emotions.The reason why Shi Yunsheng died was because he accidentally bumped into Lu Junye and leaked Guan Lingdao's listening to the soul. If the soul cultivator hadn't locked Shi Yunsheng's soul in the soul stone, they would not have been able to find out who the traitor was for a while. .In this way, this soul cultivator is not only not guilty of Shi Yunsheng's incident, but has merit.

However, when soul cultivators die, the laws of immortality cannot be violated.

"Why did he help us catch Lu Junye?" Guan Lingdao asked.

It's unbelievably simple to catch such a deeply hidden soul cultivation.

Shi Knock said in a low voice: "When my brother died there was no scar on his body, it looked like he was killed by a soul cultivator, and then there was a black jar, everyone thought it was a soul cultivator. Maybe he was dissatisfied in his heart, and that's why he wanted to drag Lu Junye out."

"Pei Xiaoshen is a five-spirit root with low qualifications. Lu Junye has always looked down on him. He tried to ask for an errand in Weiming Palace many times, but Lu Junye sent him away." Grand Palace Mistress Mo Bai Qi had already been investigated by someone, "I think it's the grievances accumulated for many years, I can't bear it."

Song Gu chased: "How should we deal with him now?"

"The old palace master ordered that once it is found out that it is a soul cultivator, if he still does not wake up within three months, he will be killed directly." Mo Baiqi said again, "Qingyan, will the Lu family agree to what we discussed that day?"

Song Guzhui recounted the events of the day, and said again: "I didn't have a chance to talk with the Taoist priest Diheng in detail. I don't know what Lu Yesheng said to the Taoist priest Diheng in private, but the Taoist priest agreed to let him go back. home."

Yes, apart from helping Lu Yesheng return home, Ji Qingyan's trip was more important to privately discuss the matter of jointly resisting the Red Sandalwood Palace.

The Red Sandalwood Palace hid spies in the Shangqing Palace and the Shuixing Gate. Not only was Sanchen furious, but Qi Ning's father couldn't bear it. Now the list in Lu Yesheng's hand is extremely important. By the way, the spies of the Red Sandalwood Palace hidden in other sects were also found out, so as to unite with the sects of the Southern Dynasties to prepare for future accidents.

The Guixu Sect has close contacts with the Red Sandalwood Palace, but the Lu family has enmity with the Guixu Sect, so the Lu family can win them over, and Ji Qingyan's trip is to test their words.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to say anything.

Facing the enemy at the front door, the most feared thing is a fire in the backyard.Red Sandalwood Palace's actions are extremely disgusting and will definitely arouse public anger. If the various factions in the Southern Dynasty do not unite, it is unknown what will happen in the future.It's just that they don't know why the Red Sandalwood Palace has placed spies. Is it possible that it is to spy on some people who listen to the soul?

Now that the spy was dead and the soul cultivator was unconscious, the matter came to an abrupt end.

The Shangqing palace was injured, and the head deacon Qi Xuanji took over from Lu Junye. Everyone was affected, and it was inevitable that they had to adjust and adapt.Ji Qingyan has a list of soul cultivators in his hands. It is not easy to catch those who are hidden in various sects, but he has to find and kill those who are wandering in the mortal world. The matter of going to the Central Plains has to be temporarily stopped. He is running around, He seldom shows up in the Shangqing Palace.

Shi Knocking Sheng seldom went out recently, Guan Lingdao talked to him from time to time when he was secretly practicing, to resolve his concerns.Before I knew it, the winter snow gradually melted. When I went out this morning, the sun was warm, and the thick snow on the pine trees looked a little transparent, dripping down.

Jun Mo was waiting quietly at the door with a note in his mouth.

Guan Lingdao squatted down and rubbed Jun Mo's head: "You are so obedient, today is your birthday, are you seven years old?"

Jun Mo shook his head and shook his hand off, and the piece of paper was thrown on the ground mercilessly, revealing two fangs.

Guan Lingdao picked up the piece of paper from the ground with a dark face: "Who cares about touching you? My princess is much more touching than you."

[Help me pack my brother's things, and celebrate Jun Mo's birthday by the way]

Shi Knocking Sheng wanted to clean up Shi Yunsheng's things, which meant that he had almost recovered and could let this matter go.Guan Lingdao took a few apples he picked last autumn, looked down at the green snake that was against him, reluctantly picked it up from the ground, and headed for the residence of the stone knocking sound.

For Jun Mo's seventh birthday, the sound of stone knocking naturally couldn't prepare longevity noodles. A few days ago, he sneaked into the back mountain with Guan Lingdao and caught many mountain mice.At this time, the cage containing the mountain mouse was brought out, and Jun Mo pounced on him and clung to him, refusing to leave. He watched the sound of stone knocking with his dark eyes, and waited quietly for him to open the cage.

"Sure enough, it's a child's heart, it's really easy to coax." Guan Lingdao chuckled at it.

Shi Knocking Sheng didn't know what to say, the two people's minds were on par, if it wasn't for his presence, they would probably be fighting over trivial matters within a few moments.

Guan Lingdao sat down and packed Shi Yunsheng's clothes: "These are still wearable."

"Put it all in a box, and I'll read it when I want to." Shi Kousheng lowered his head and slowly flipped through the paper in his hand.

He usually reads books faster than ordinary people, but now his speed is about the same as that of Guan Lingdao. Guan Lingdao moved his face closer: "What are you looking at?"

"He kept all the messages I sent back to my brother when I went out, and they are all here." His voice was subconsciously low.

"Brother Yunsheng is a meticulous person. As long as there is something about you, he is naturally not willing to throw it away." He felt that something was wrong when he said this. , it’s not surprising that you like to keep these.”

Speaking of this, he thought of something: "Tell me, how did Lu Junye know that I can hear souls?"

This is something that has puzzled everyone so far. Only Sanchen, Ji Qingyan and Guan Lingdao really know that Guan Lingdao can hear the soul. Nothing was said.It is impossible for these people to leak the secret, so who is it?Could it be because Guan Lingdao followed Ji Qingyan down the mountain many times, and he guessed it?

Even Tsing Yi didn't know about Guan Lingdao's listening to the soul, how did Lu Junye find out?In case of negligence, they checked all the news that Lu Junye had received in the past six months, but found nothing.

But although others didn't know, Guan Lingdao knew that there was another person who knew about it, and that was the soul cultivator hidden in Shangqing Palace.

This soul cultivator knew the details of Guan Lingdao, and also knew what happened before he was nine years old.

This soul cultivator is Pei Xiaokun, but he just doesn't understand what he wants.

If Pei Xiaokun really leaked the news, what was his purpose?Is it to drive Guan Lingdao out of the Shangqing Palace, or to expose Lu Junye?

Coming out of Shi Knocking's residence, Guan Lingdao went to the alchemy room of Muzhe Palace, and now he is still in charge of the Xuanzhen room, the door rules cannot be violated, and cleaning has to be done every half a month.

Before we arrived, we saw Sui Tianyou sitting outside the alchemy room grinding spiritual grass from a distance. Guan Lingdao hadn't spoken to him since he exposed him for stealing, and he didn't like him very much. He lowered his head and entered silently. Xuan Zhenfang.

Sui Tianyou looked up at him, didn't speak, and continued to slowly grind the spirit grass into powder.

Not long after, Guan Lingdao came out of Xuanzhen's room, and looked at Sui Tianyou who was sitting on the ground with half-cast eyes.

"You have something to do with me?" Sui Tianyou's heart beat faster for some reason.

"Did Lu Junye ask you about me?" Guan Lingdao's voice was a little low, which was different from usual.Sui Tianyou lived next door to him at that time, so he should have noticed something was wrong. Lu Junye might have asked him for a question.

Sui Tianyou was a little startled, pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered that when he ran into Lu Junye two months ago, he had indeed chatted about Guan Lingdao inexplicably.

"He asked me why you often follow the Lord of the Third Palace down the mountain, and what kind of abilities you have," Sui Tianyou said with an ugly face, "I said, I said I didn't hear that you have any abilities, and your cultivation is not high, so I don't understand the Lord of the Third Palace. What are you doing down the mountain?"

"..."

Lu Junye would ask this question, so it can be seen that Guan Lingdao was already suspicious at that time, and Sui Tianyou's answer must have deepened his doubts.Guan Lingdao didn't have any skills, what did Ji Qingyan bring him down the mountain?

But this doesn't confirm that he can listen to souls. He didn't find out anything from Sui Tianyou, so what will he do next?

"Even if I have no skills, I will not steal, let alone frame people." Guan Lingdao said lightly, "Aside from doing bad things, what else do you do?"

Sui Tianyou lowered his head and said nothing, thinking: There is nothing good in that black jar of yours, why bother talking about others?

Guan Lingdao picked up the broom and cleaned the ashes on the floor in the dark alchemy room, his mind was already wandering.Sui Tianyou suddenly whispered again from outside: "After Lu Junye finished talking to me, a blue bird flew down and gave him a message, and he left—is this useful?"

There is a fart.

Lu Junye is the lord of Twilight Palace, so what's so strange about receiving the news?

Guan Lingdao lowered his head and continued to sweep the ground. Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, threw the broom, hurried out of Xuanzhen's room, and flew away without a word.

Lu Junye suspected that Guan Lingdao was listening to the soul, so he searched for news everywhere. If someone sent him a message silently, he must have doubts in his heart, so he probably found out about Guan Lingdao's listening to the soul himself.What would he do if there were no clues?

He wasn't stupid enough to ask Shi Knocking, Song Guzhui, and Sanchen face to face, so what would he check next?

Guan Lingdao came to the foot of the back mountain hidden from the Yuan Palace. He was wearing single clothes in Tsing Yi and was sitting by the melted Qiong Lake, tapping a white spirit stone lightly.

"Tsing Yi, I have something to ask." Guan Lingdao asked carefully and softly.

Tsing Yi turned her head, her gaze seemed to be asking: What's the matter?

"I want to learn how to use Huoyang paper to deliver messages." Using Huoyang paper to deliver messages is something that only deacons and above can learn, and Guan Lingdao is not yet qualified.

But Tsing Yi did not refuse, took out a piece of Huoyang paper and burned it, gesturing: You have gone to Fengting Hall to get the Huoyang paper, someone there will teach you.

The Guofeng Hall is where all the news from the Shangqing Palace is classified and recorded, because the matter is of great importance, even related to the safety of the sect, it belongs to the Congyuan Palace, which is in charge of defense, and is guarded by disciples.A few days ago, they came to investigate the news of Lu Junye for nearly half a year, and stayed here for four consecutive hours.

If it weren't for the sound of stone knocking, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to finish watching it for a few days and nights.

"If I have time, I'll check up on Lu Junye's affairs." The tone was more casual.

Tsing Yi nodded.

Guan Lingdao came to the Wind Hall, and as expected, a disciple was already waiting. Guan Lingdao learned how to use the Huoyang paper patiently, and said casually: "Last time we came to check the news that Lu Junye had received in the past six months. , lost a few places, Tsing Yi asked me to check again."

Guan Lingdao followed Tsing Yi to investigate this matter a few days ago. This disciple recognized him, wrote down his name, and led Guan Lingdao upstairs: "I have received news from Tsing Yi, please go ahead."

The place is empty and silent, slightly dark and moldy, with rows of cabinets as high as three or four feet, storing all the news received by the Shangqing Palace over the past few decades, sorted out according to date and year.

Last time they were looking at Lu Junye's locker, but this time Guan Ling Road passed by without stopping. They walked around and found a locker standing against the wall, and dropped it.

【Sound of stone knocking】

In this cabinet, there are all the messages received or sent by the sound of stone knocking since entering the Shangqing Palace.

After thinking about it, after all, no one dared to mess with Sanchen and Ji Qingyan, and most of the problem in this matter lies with Song Guzhui or Shi Knocking.Song Guzhui is the chief deacon of Muzhe Palace, and the news is too much and complicated, which takes time and effort.All the news about Shi Knocking Sheng is less than [-]% of his, so it is always easier to find it.

He sat down in front of the cabinet, found all the papers that recorded the news, and slowly flipped through them.

Although there were not many news about Shi Knocking Sound, they were extremely long-winded, especially the one written to Shi Yunsheng. They did not omit any trifles, even if the bed they slept at night was comfortable or not, and Jun Mo's sleeping position had to be written.

Guan Lingdao looked carefully, and unknowingly several hours had passed. Suddenly, he stopped and looked down at a line of words.

[Regarding the spiritual way, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and return today. 】

This is the last sentence in the letter.

The letter was written at the beginning of August last year, Guan Lingdao followed Ji Qingyan down the mountain for the first time, that was the time they found the black jar in Shuidu City.

But this sentence was definitely not written by the stone knocking sound.

He would never forget that he could recite everything he read when he was six or seven years old. Even if Shi Knocking was not careful at the time, he would not fail to remember such an obvious leak.

This last sentence is false.

Guan Lingdao sat with his head bowed for a long time, went downstairs to chat and laugh with the disciple just now, and then went to Shi Knocking's residence.Shi Knocking was not there, so Guan Lingdao rummaged through the box in the corner for a long time, and took out the same letter that Shi Knocking had written to Shi Yunsheng in August last year.

Sure enough, there was no last word that leaked the secret.

The same letter that Shi Yunsheng held in his hand was actually different from the one saved in Guofeng Hall.In other words, someone tampered with the letter from Guofeng Hall.

Who tampered with this letter, and for what purpose?

Guan Lingdao couldn't sleep the whole night, the night was silent, he opened his eyes and looked out the window.

The many things that have happened in the past two months are like being pulled by an invisible thread, and no one is a puppet on that thread. He has made a big mistake from the beginning, until today, he suddenly realized that Fooled.
