Elder Tianji always likes to be quiet, Mei Qingjian and Bo Jiu have long been used to doing everything by themselves, there is no young disciple serving tea in the main hall of Tianji Palace.

After Mei Qingjian came out in person, unexpectedly what he saw in the hall was Jiang Bie. He was wearing a dark sable fur, coughing frequently under his mouth, and looked extremely sick and haggard.

Mei Qingjian hurried two steps forward to meet Li, seeing him like this could not help but feel worried, and sighed:

"Senior Brother Jiang still needs to recuperate. Qing Jian was supposed to come to Tianxiang Peak to visit Senior Brother."

Jiang Bie's face was pale, and he smiled slightly: "I'm here to hide and disturb Junior Brother Mei."

Looking out from the window of Tianji Palace, the scattered plum trees in the distance are in full bloom, and the fallen flowers are everywhere when the wind blows. It is even better to look around in the quiet, only the birds chirping and insects hissing, which has a special elegant artistic conception.

Jiang Bie put his hands on the window lattice, sighed softly, and said, "All the peaks in Kunlun have disciples from Tianfu Peak's sect patrolling and inspecting them. It's not like they are guarding against chaos, but they seem to be against their own people. Fortunately, they still have a lot of respect for Master Tianji." Somewhat afraid, I dare not come to Tianji Peak to act presumptuously."

The clear tea soup was poured into the cup for seven minutes, and the white hair silver needles were as silver as snow, and the roots were clear of water. Mei Qing gradually pushed a cup of tea and looked at Jiang Bie: "Senior Brother Jiang has something to say."

Jiang Bie lowered his head and sipped his tea.However, he didn't look at Mei Qingjian, he only cast his eyes on the distant flower forest, and said:

"Some things, if you don't say it now, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"I heard that Junior Brother Mei fought against Chaos." His voice was very soft, "Tianji Yifeng intensively studied the formation technique, and Junior Brother Mei broke the maze formed by Chaos and made it go away in a hurry. It can be seen that Chaos is in this formation. Along the way, it is not always beneficial.

"But why it can treat the peak protection formations of the peaks as nothing, I can't figure it out."

He dipped his fingertips in residual tea and sketched casually on the table. Mei Qingjian could see that what he sketched was the topographical map of the Seven Peaks of Kunlun.

The northern peak is Tianfu, the southern peak is Tianxiang, Tiantong lives in the west, Tianji lives in the east, Tianshu Peak is steep and precipitous in the northwest, Tianliang Peak is warm and warm in the southeast, and Jixia Academy is built at the foot of Tianfu Peak, which is the most remote. At the same place, there is still a lonely Seven Killing Cliff.

Jiang Bie pointed at Jixia Academy, "One person." Then he pointed to Tianliang Peak, "Two people." Then he pointed to Tianxiang Peak, "Two people." He brushed past Tiantong Peak, "Three people." Then It passed Tianji Peak and Tianshu Peak, and landed heavily on Tianfu Peak in the middle of the north, "...seven people."

Mei Qingjian did not say a word, silently staring at the water-stained graphic on the desktop.

The number of disciples who died in Kunlun Mountain continued continuously, and there were as many as 15 people. Among them, seven elite disciples died in Tianfu Peak, which is really shocking.Everyone knew this number in their hearts, but they never dared to say it out loud.

"Tianfu Peak belongs to the lineage of the head of the sect, and the elite disciples of the sect have the deepest cultivation. Chaos kills people to nourish qi and blood, so naturally this peak is the most popular." Jiang Bie tapped his knuckles lightly, and the water stains faded away "However, counting from Senior Brother Ning Ziqian, there are so many masters in Tianfu Peak. I can't figure out why they have no resistance."

Mei Qingjian's heart was shaken, and when his four eyes met, he saw that Jiang Bie's complexion was pale and ashamed due to his illness, only a pair of eyes shone brightly.

Suddenly, Mei Qing remembered that under the faint moonlight that night, the Elder of Tianfu held his arm tightly, his eyes were tearing apart, "...the Kunlun Wannian Foundation, it seems, will be completely destroyed in Tianfu On the peak—"

Mei Qingjian's heart tightened, and at that moment he felt cold all over his body, and a vague sense of trembling climbed up his spine inch by inch. He heard Jiang Bie continue in a low voice, "This statement is only speculation, and there is no evidence. It's just a matter of fact. Kunlun up and down, I hope Junior Brother Mei will be careful."

"Senior Brother Jiang, why should you tell me these words?" Mei Qing gradually clenched his fingers into fists, his palms sweating, and said in a hoarse voice, "Senior Brother Jiang is the first disciple of Si Ding's lineage. , who is deeply trusted by Master Tianxiang, is one of the most famous figures in Kunlun Mountains, and I, the alien scourge that everyone criticizes and discusses, should not be compared.

"I heard that Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Ling have a very close relationship. If we talk about him, or the senior teachers, it will be more beneficial."

Jiang Bie closed his eyes, and said after a while: "That may not be true, then..."

These words seemed to have exhausted his strength, he couldn't help coughing and panting again and again, the cough sounded broken and hoarse, his breath was disordered, he couldn't hold it in for a while.

Mei Qing gradually frowned, stretched out her hand to clasp his wrist to let out a breath of tranquility, and it took a while to help Jiang Bie to breathe, he sighed weakly:

"Thank you....Ling Yu is an unruly and flirtatious person. I'm afraid he will offend you. But his heart is not very bad. Junior Brother Mei, let me apologize on his behalf."

He staggered and wanted to get up, but before he could stand still, he coughed violently again, vomiting up the bright red blood all over his chest with a wow.

Mei Qingjian hurriedly reached out to help him, seeing that although Jiang Bie had the physique of an adult man, the weight of this hand was shockingly light, almost only a handful of bones remained.

Mei Qing gradually felt a chill in her heart, she knew that although Jiang Bie had recovered a life from the Great Desolation Abyss, he might not live long.

He rushed to support Jiang Bie, and said with a frown: "Senior brother Jiang is still weak, he needs to be taken care of. I'll send him back to Tianxiang Peak, why should he be caught in the cold wind here."

A smile appeared on Jiang Bie's bleak face, and he wiped off the blood stains on the corners of his lips. Knowing that Mei Qingjian was unwilling to say more about this matter, he turned his eyes to the rolling mountains in the distance, and sighed softly: "Don't let the fellow disciples of Tianfu Peak be suspicious, let's go one after another."

Although Mei Qingjian was worried, she also knew that Kunlun Mountain was different now, and she should be careful to avoid suspicion at all times, so she raised her sword according to Jiang Farewell's intention, and went to Tianxiang Peak first, and waited for a while Fang saw that Jiang Bie let his head fall from the clouds.

He was weak and weak, and the cold wind caused him to cough again and again.Mei Qingjian was about to step forward to help him, but unexpectedly, he caught a glimpse of a white shadow flashing by in the woods on one side, and a shadow like a deer or a horse bumped into Jiang Bie's side.

Jiang Bie was still coughing uncontrollably, but now he smiled a little bit, stretched out his hand to caress the little thing that was so close to him.Mei Qingjian saw it clearly for a moment, and couldn't help but startled.

That's a squirrel.Different from the cub he rescued many years ago, this one is almost an adult, with snow-white fur like silver and jade. Tu Shan's mountain guardian spirit beast really looked like a fairy at this moment.

Jiang Bie caressed its soft fur, and said, "A few days ago, Junior Brother Wanqi went down the mountain to practice and took this little guy back. It's still a bit deserted on Tianji Peak. If Junior Brother Mei doesn't mind, why don't you keep it by your side. "

Mei Qingjian didn't move for a moment, but said indifferently: "He told you?"

Jiang Bie met his gaze with a frank expression: "Ling Yu is so arrogant, he never mentions these things. I heard the old gentleman from Jixia Academy mention it once or twice."

Bi Ru is very familiar with human nature, he can tell Jiang Bie's meaning just by looking at Jiang Bie's expression, and immediately stepped forward.The deer antlers were shining brightly, the ponytail was flicking and rustling, Mei Qing gradually stretched out her hand, Bi Ru slightly bowed her head, and arched gently in his palm.

"...the sky is high and the earth is wide, it's better for it." Mei Qingjian replied softly, and the palm of her hand filled it with some clear spiritual energy, "As for us, we are all trapped in the cage of world affairs. Just a beast."

Bi Ru took a step back with his front paws, bowed and uttered a thank you.This was the first time that Mei Qingjian had heard the roar of the scorpion, the whistling sound was like a wave of waves slowly swaying, full of spiritual energy, it was quite soothing to the body and mind.

Bi Ru wandered towards the outside of the forest, but before he had gone a few steps, he suddenly stopped and stepped on the branches by the stream repeatedly, as if he had a somewhat fearful and uneasy expression.As soon as it turned around, it went to the other side of the woods without looking back.

Mei Qing gradually shivered slightly.

He knew that spirit beasts like this were the most sensitive, and could even intuitively distinguish good from evil.If a stranger who is too bloody to kill approaches, he will instinctively retreat and dodge.Today's Kunlun Mountains should be full of grass and trees, so he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately stretched out his hand to reach for the long sword at his waist.

Jiang Bie looked calm, raised his hand to stop him: "It doesn't matter."

He pushed aside the branches and leaves casually, and they were standing on a steep cliff at the top of Tianxiang Peak, which was just right for them to see the beautiful scenery.

Looking from here, I can see Ling Yu wandering in the middle of the peak, pacing back and forth, as if he was agitated by something, from time to time he raises his fist and slams the big tree next to him, he is stunned for a long time, sighs long, and sits silently. fell to the ground.

Mei Qingjian understood immediately, presumably Ling Yu had killed too many monsters, and Bi Ru sensed that he was full of blood, so he fled in despair.He frowned indistinctly, and turned to look at Jiang Bie.

"In Kunlun Mountains, there are not many idlers like him." Jiang Bie said indifferently, "Three or five days out of ten, I will come to Tianxiang Peak, but I never come to see me. Fortunately, I am a dying person Otherwise, I can't afford to miss him like this."

Hearing this, Mei Qingjian's heart tightened again.People who practice Taoism live a long life, and they are no more taboo about life and death than ordinary people, but such small talk is definitely not something ordinary people can have.

Following Jiang Bie's gaze, he once again looked at Ling Yu who was sitting in Zhongfeng. Ling Yu didn't notice it at all, but stared blankly at the setting sun ahead.

Even though he has reached Tianxiang Peak, he refuses to go any further. This is because he refuses to show weakness to Jiang Bie, and even more so, he refuses to show weakness to himself.A proud heart like him is rare.

The twilight gradually shrouded Ling Yu's figure and gradually dimmed.

Jiang Bie wrapped his cloak tightly on his own, he was very well versed in worldly affairs, he would stop when he wanted to, and never say a word.At that moment, he smiled at Mei Qingjian and said: "It's getting late, I have Junior Brother Lao Mei to see you off, let's go back earlier. The wind and rain are cloudy, I hope everything should be careful."

The mountain wind at dusk was very cold, watching Mei Qingjian's figure go against the wind, Jiang Bie couldn't help coughing again, the corner of his sleeve covering his mouth was black with blood, but he was already lazy to care, closed his eyes and rested for a while, Step forward.

He is so familiar with every plant and tree in Tianxiang Peak that he doesn't need to look at them too much, but when a person is about to die, he can't help being nostalgic for the world after all.He strolled down Tianxiang Peak, the night was getting darker, and the shadow covering him was getting farther and farther away.

Jiang Bie walked very slowly, stopping to cough after a few steps.His cough became more and more severe, and his throat was filled with a strong sweet smell of blood, and every time he coughed, he almost couldn't stand upright.His hoarse voice was wrapped in the wind, and at this moment, there were faint footsteps approaching.

Jiang Bie straightened up, covered his blood-soaked sleeves behind his back, and turned around slowly.

There is no thick black mist to cover people's eyes, no strong evil spirit overflowing, the person in front of him just walked slowly, and he couldn't see his previous appearance at all.At first glance, Jiang Bie felt very strange.

Jiang Bie said: "I thought of many people, but I didn't think it would be you."

The other party said nothing.Jiang Bie was silent for a moment, then said, "Junior Brother Mei..."

"He doesn't know." The other party interrupted, paused, and took another step towards him, "...you don't have to tell him."
