Who knows that his sword is too gentle

Yazhou Island is surrounded by mountains, and the major courtyards are built in the mountains. The altitudes vary, and the connecting roads are all steep mountain roads. Those who are afraid of heights are really not suitable for visiting.

Going from the east courtyard to the west courtyard, you have to pass 42 stone pillars pulled up from the bottom of the water. The side walls of the stone pillars are covered with moss, and they seem to slip and fall into the water if you are not careful.

Pei Jin walked in front with his hands behind his back, the distance between the stone pillars was not small, but he was proficient step by step, and it was not so easy for Bai Jue who followed behind. Now he knew why Yadao Kuaijian's footwork was so exquisite, The people on the island are forced to practice every day!

Standing on the stone pillar, you can just overlook the water prison in the north. The iron wall forms a half-crescent shape. If you haven't stayed in it, you may think it is some kind of Taoyuan from the outside.

Pei Jin walked out of more than twenty pillars, looked back at Bai Jue, and saw a clumsy chick jumping with its arms outstretched. It wanted to fly but didn't dare to fly. The expression of chasing his back seemed to be afraid of losing its mother bird.

Seeing Pei Jin looking back at him, Bai Jue immediately complained: "I don't want to come to Yadao anymore, it's more tiring than climbing the ladder in Mukongtan, oh, by the way, you don't know what Mukongtan looks like. "

"I know." Pei Jin paused, "I've been there."

Bai Jue slipped on the moss, and fell backwards. He didn't see how Pei Jin came over, and Pei Jin caught him in a flash.

The disgust in Pei Jin's expression can also be read from the ghostly face that has been added with deception. Pei Jin put his hand on Bai Jue's waist and led him quickly past the stone pile in three or two steps.

Bai Jue originally wanted to ask him when he had been there, but when he was holding himself in his arms, he thought to his heart that what happened 30 years ago was known all over the world, and it was normal for Pei Jin to have been there.

"The one you went to is no longer the Mukong Lake." Bai Jue said a little frustrated.

"I..." Pei Jin opened his mouth, but didn't continue.He wanted to say that in fact, he had some memories of the dusky empty pool earlier, and absorbed a lot of that guy's knowledge when he first merged with his spiritual consciousness, and later sealed most of them, leaving only a few things behind. impression.

Faintly, there is a purple-clothed beauty sitting on the chessboard in the middle of the water mat and smiling at him with her legs crossed, beside the gurgling waterfall, and in front of her is a beautiful woman.

Every time he thought of these pictures, he didn't even dare to look at the purple sycamore tree on the island.

After entering the west courtyard, Pei Jin went straight to the archives room. The people in the west courtyard saw Pei Jin hurriedly saluting. Halfway through the salute, Pei Jin's people had walked a hundred meters away, and they hurriedly followed up for dispatch.Wherever Pei Jin went, those who stood at attention, those who sat upright, and those who played seriously, Bai Jue followed behind him and experienced a majesty that he had never experienced before.

I don't know why these people are so afraid of Pei Jin being so young.After much deliberation, it must be because he is usually not easy to get along with.

As soon as Pei Jin entered the room, he said: "Call out the seventh room 25, 28, the eighth room [-], and the ninth room [-], and call the disciples involved in the incident on July [-]."

While talking, he walked to the main table and sat down, looked up and saw Bai Jue was still standing, and said: "What are you doing in a daze, sit down."

Standing in the room with his hands tied, Bai Jue felt that everyone in the room was staring at him: "Where do you sit?"

Pei Jin gestured to his side.

Bai Jue saw that there was an Eight Immortals chair there, which had already been taken by Pei Jin. Why should he sit there?Why not sit on his lap!

Thinking of what happened that day, Bai Jue felt ashamed: "No, I won't be tired from standing."

Pei Jin slowly pulled out a piano bench from under the table, patted it, and looked at him with a half-smile.It turned out that Bai never saw the stool because of the viewing angle.

The expression on Bai Jue's face was wonderful, and he walked over with some annoyance and sat down heavily.

The corner of Pei Jin's mouth deepened into a smile.

Bai Jue said: "You are competent, you remember the file number clearly."

Pei Jin took the tea set offered by the servant, waved his hand and ordered them to leave, and poured two cups for the two of them himself: "It's just this matter."

Suddenly someone stood at the door knocking, Bai Jue immediately looked curiously, and saw that the person was wearing an ordinary Yadao servant costume, just stood the broom in his hand by the door, and limped towards the house.

"Young master, the villain is one of the disciples who were cursed 30 years ago and were rescued later."

"Tell me about the situation back then in detail." Pei Jin took a sip of tea.

The cripple was stunned for a moment, and his face turned blue: "The villain once told the adults of the Overwatch Council, and it was recorded..."

"You say it again now."

The lame man paused and lowered his head: "Yes."

Bai Jue leaned forward a little, looked at the lame man with his hands on his chin, and thought about why he seemed reluctant to speak.Pei Jin didn't seem to notice this kind of detail, he just lowered his eyes and blew a few sips of tea, urging the man to narrate.

"Back then, the villain also worked as an interrogator and demon hunter in the Overwatch Council. Although he occasionally came into contact with wild monsters, he was nothing to be afraid of. He usually ate and lived with his colleagues in the Overwatch Council and had a good life style. I don't know when the curse was cast, the villain was still drinking with his colleagues on the first day of the spell, had a big meal that day, and the next day..."

"Young master!" Someone interrupted the lame man.

Pei Jin frowned and looked: "What is it?"

"Young master, there is something wrong with the file [-]...Please ask the young master to go and have a look."

Pei Jin put down the teacup, looking displeased: "No. [-] file room can't be checked without my warrant, what's wrong?"

He didn't wait for the man's reply, so he stood up and walked towards the door. Bai Jue stood up, glanced at the cripple, and thought for a while: "You go over there, I want to ask him a few words."

Pei Jin hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then strode out.

Bai Jue sat down and said, "Brother, why don't you continue?"

The lame man didn't know who Bai Jue was, he hesitated for a while, and said: "The next day it became known that a group of people suddenly went crazy and hurt their own people, and I was among them. Then I found that mark on my back, I was not very conscious at the time, and I couldn't remember many details. Only after I was rescued did I realize that I was under the curse of Bai Jue, and I also heard that that guy caused the Mu Mu Kongtan tragedy, and personally killed the master and defected! "

The cripple clenched his fists, his face distorted: "If it wasn't for the aftereffects of the curse he cast on me, my legs wouldn't be mutilated, and my meridians wouldn't be damaged. I was transferred out of the Overwatch Council because of this. Now he is just an ordinary disciple of San Sweeping, and his career of cultivating immortals will be ruined like this, if it is not for Bai Jue, if it is not for him! This guy has killed countless people, and it is really cheap for him to die from the spirit lock poison!"

Seeing his agitation, Bai Jue felt a little uncomfortable, picked up the teacup to his lips and put it down again: "But it's not yet concluded, it's Bai Jue's demon curse."

The lame man jumped into a rage immediately: "What do you mean by that?! It is an indisputable fact that he fell into the demon way and betrayed the fairy sect!! Everyone wants to tear him into pieces. What are you doing for him?!"

"Where do I call it denial?" Bai Jue slowly clenched his hands on his lap, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible, "Isn't it a reasonable guess? If it wasn't for him, the real murderer would have been at large. You ... You probably haven't even seen his face, how can you tell what kind of person he is? I understand your victim's feelings, even if you want to take revenge, you must know the truth, so get the right target."

"It's not a denial! Who are you, are you also a spy sent by the demon world!" The lame man pointed at him, and cursed a few swear words in anger, "Could it be that you are also a follower of that Bai Jue, so you are so shameless! I want to argue for the villain! Just dream, Bai Jue is dead, and the whole Chanxi Sect is dead too!"

Bai Jue jumped up at the case in an instant: "Have you figured out who you are grieving for?! The tragedy in Mukongtan is uncomfortable for everyone, am I not uncomfortable?! You are the victim, not the Chanxi sect! The murder happened Have you eaten the facts about the Chanxi sect?!"

The lame man's blood rushed to the top of his head, he rushed over and grabbed the teacup and splashed it on Bai Jue's face: "You spies from the demon world, go to hell!!"

Bai Jue was so angry that he trembled all over, he was worse than the opponent, but he didn't expect that the opponent would make a move, he was immediately splashed all over his body, the teacup hit his forehead, it turned blue and red.

He raised his palm and overturned the table, knocking the cripple back a few steps, the cripple couldn't move his legs and he fell to the ground in an instant, but he still didn't forget to point at Bai Jue and swear some nasty words.

Bai Jue has heard some gossip in Central Continent for the past 30 years, so he expected what would happen in the cultivation world, but after all, he underestimated how malicious the anger of stupid people would be, let alone the fact that even the Chanxi Sect was destroyed by these people. Hate, just because of his origin.

Thirty years ago in the hearing hall of Jifengyuan, he was not as angry as he is today when the overwhelming malice came to him. At that time, a maid from Yadao still comforted him, saying that those people were just jealous. Whoever walks alone will point the sword.

What now?

The lame man cursed like crazy, spreading all the resentment in his heart on "Luo Sheng", an irrelevant person: "No one who speaks for Bai Jue has anything good, so they should all go to hell! Back then he The Chanxi Sect should step in and stop it, Tao Shu too, Tangtang Xindao No. 1 raised such an apprentice! He deserves to die..."

"Shut up!" Bai Jue slammed his palms together and drew a gust of wind, hitting the cripple with such force that the cripple flew out of the house, fell into the courtyard and couldn't get up.

Bai Jue chased him out with a trembling voice: "Tao Shu died to save people back then. Without him, do you know how many people would have died? If even he would get the reputation of being a bad believer and reaping the consequences, do you still have a conscience? ?!"

The movement of the two of them arguing quickly attracted other disciples in the courtyard. They knew the lame man but not Bai Jue. They surrounded the lame man and stared at Bai Jue with suspicious eyes: "What happened? Isn't it a question?" , who allowed you to do it?"

"Give way! Make way!...Luo Sheng?" Someone squeezed out from the crowd in the Overwatch Council and suppressed a few colleagues who almost rushed to confront Bai Jue. It was Duan Linfeng.

Duan Linfeng looked at Bai Jue and the lame man in puzzlement: "Luo Sheng, what's the matter? I just heard about the training hall in the morning. I can't find you anywhere. Why are you here?"

"Linfeng, do you know him?" The lame man pointed at Bai Jue and said, "This man actually defended the traitor Bai Jue, he should report to the young master, and ask the young master to investigate his background!"

As soon as the words came out, the eyes of everyone looking at Bai Jue changed from suspicious to full of hostility: "Thirty years have passed, is there still someone alive to speak for the murderer?"

Even Duan Linfeng looked at Bai Jue in surprise and confusion: "Luo Sheng, really?"

Bai Jue looked at Duan Linfeng and gritted his teeth: "Brother Duan, you are kind-hearted, tell me about it. What should be pursued most in the bloody case of the immortal sect 30 years ago? Is there any doubt? Bai... , at least innocent. Isn’t it too much for your colleagues to speak so badly? "

Duan Linfeng frowned, looking at his expression as if he had just met him for the first time: "Luo Sheng, what you said is not pleasant, even the Chanxi sect is innocent, so what does it matter if my brother has become like this?"

Bai Jue: "..."

Bai Jue said embarrassingly: "I heard that the Chanxi Sect has long since cut off the wedding with Bai Jue. If there is a disciple of Chanxi who has never done anything bad standing in front of you, are you going to reprimand him?"

The lame man said: "The Chanxi Sect used to cover up Bai Jue a lot! Raising tigers, playing with fire and guns, implicated innocent people like us, so what if we anger their disciples now?"

After a while, Bai Jue laughed sarcastically: "Innocent, you are so innocent! If you want to drown the Chanxi Sect with one mouthful of saliva, then it will be a great contribution to the Immortal Sect, a great achievement and immeasurable merit!" !"

"Luo Sheng, you..." Duan Linfeng looked at him disappointedly, "I still want to speak for you, but I didn't expect you to be that villain's follower. I won't help you stay on Yadao anymore Now, after today is over, you can leave on your own."

"Tell him to go? Why let him go? He should be locked up, interrogated and tortured carefully, to find out what is going on with him!" the lame man shouted.

Bai Jue looked around at them, his eyes were bloodshot: "I repeat, asking about the suspicious points of this case does not mean following Bai Jue. You believe he is the murderer. You can fight and kill as you please, but if you just let him go Emotions, if you don’t investigate the obvious problems clearly, even a hundred dead shots won’t save you all.”

"It's so big, do you know how many disciples of our Yadao who were cursed died later, and how many lives are better than death?"

"Then do you know what the deceased's will is?"

A voice interrupted their conflict, and everyone followed the prestige. On the other side of the courtyard, Pei Jin took a few bamboo slips in his hand and walked towards this side quickly: "What are you doing? Luo Sheng is a guest from Yadao. The people I personally brought here to investigate suspicious cases with me, are the people who usually teach hospitality like you?"

A group of Yadao disciples were surprised, and then lowered their heads, only the lame man blushed and said, "Young Master..."

"Let me ask you, do you know what the deceased's will is?" Pei Jin stared at him coldly.

He gritted his teeth: "Of course it's revenge!"

"For whom? For you? People are dead, and they have nothing to do with the death of another 1 people in the world. This revenge must be avenged. It is the demon world that killed our thousands of disciples. Why don't you attack the demon world with your ability? For thousands of years, what is the purpose of Xianmen's devotion to maintaining the enchantment? Once the fairy-monster war breaks out, what will be the consequences? Just because so many people died, so whether it is the dead or the living, there is only one common first appeal from beginning to end , That is, this kind of disaster will never happen again. How to avoid it? By killing people? By sitting together?"

The lame man took a few short breaths, but was unable to speak.

Bai Jue finally calmed down gradually. After hearing too many crazy and twisted words, he was a little moved by the words of a normal person like Pei Jin.These words suddenly convinced him that Pei Jin really wanted to re-investigate the old case and find out the mastermind behind the demon world.No matter what Pei Jin thinks of him in his heart, at least from this point of view, Pei Jin did not choose to stand in the comfort zone and follow the crowd to verbally scold Bai Jue to act as justice and earn some support.

Bai Jue decided to take back a little dislike for him, just a little.

Pei Jin turned his head to look at Bai Jue. As soon as he came back, he heard Bai Jue being surrounded by people saying such ugly things. He didn't know if Bai Jue cared. Then he saw the wound on Bai Jue's forehead clearly. Tea stains on the skirt.For a moment, Pei Jin stopped hesitating, stepped forward and held Bai Jue's hand, performed a cleansing technique for him, and healed the wound on his forehead.

Bai Jue's hands were cold and trembling slightly, he was far less indifferent than he seemed.Realizing this, Pei Jin almost gritted his teeth and stared at the cripple: "Get over here and apologize to him!"

Bai Jue withdrew his hand all of a sudden: "No need, it's not rare."

After that, he turned around and left, completely ignoring Pei Jin's calls to him from behind, and used the spell of shrinking thousands of miles to speed up his pace back to Luboyuan.

Pei Jin actually put aside what she was doing and followed him all the way to Lubo Courtyard.

As soon as Bai Jue entered the room, he closed the door and shut Pei Jin out.Pei Jin stood at his door and knocked repeatedly: "Hey, didn't you say we're going to investigate together? I got the file back then, don't you plan to read it?"

Bai Jue sighed heavily, and finally opened the door a crack, and Pei Jin squeezed in immediately, afraid that he would close it again.

Bai Jue couldn't help being a little amused: "Master Pei Xian, can you also pay attention to your image in front of me?"

Pei Jin said, "What image do I have?"

"Cold as ice, high above you."

"It doesn't sound like a good word."

"No, absolutely, please be sure to treat me like this, I will be very happy."

Pei Jin showed a look of surprise: "I didn't expect you to have such a hobby?"

Bai Jue: "..."

Pei Jin walked two steps into the room, and said again: "Actually, the image in the outside world's mouth, that's all it is, like me, I've always been relieved."

Bai Jue sneered: "Why, come to comfort me?"

Pei Jin was slightly uncomfortable.

Bai Jue continued: "I'm sorry, but I'm very narrow-minded and can't be relieved. I'm not happy when I hear it. If I'm not happy, I'll be as aggressive as I am now. It's not suitable for discussion and thinking. I'd better ask you to go out."

Pei Jin was at a loss for a while, which was rare, and continued to choose to use jokes to try to resolve Bai Jue's discomfort: "Didn't you come all the way listening to slander, where did you go in the past 30 years, why did your mental endurance not increase but decrease? "

After he finished speaking, he regretted it, thinking that what he said was too stupid, but it was too late to take it back.

Sure enough, Bai Jue's face became even more unkind: "That's right, I'm so fragile that I can't hear even a little bit of slander, so can you please shut up? Or do you think I deserve it, and even want to scold me?"

"I haven't." Pei Jin said quickly, "I just want to persuade you not to care... I thought you would not care."

"I've let you down." Bai Jue said, "Who doesn't have prejudices? I have one too, so I can bear prejudices. In the past, I could stand up to rumors and misunderstandings, saying that I sold my soul to demons to cultivate. So fast, saying that I have a good master so I stole other people's cultivation treasures, even if I say that I deviate from the scriptures and go against the law, I know that most people just hope that I will suffer the consequences. What I can't bear is arrogance. I can't stand the criticism of justice, the crusade of self-proclaimed goodness, and the falsehood of fairness. Rumors of ignorance and prejudice are not terrible, but rumors of stupidity and arrogance are disgusting. , who is killing people?"

Pei Jin's lips trembled.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, his mouth was faster than his brain, which was unprecedented.Yes, how could you not care about those words, who would not care if you changed it, the one who doesn't care.He wished he could go back to the previous sentence and slap his mouth.

"I... I don't believe you are the one who cast the curse. I guess you have a hard time about Tao Shu. There is also the matter about the yin and yang elixir. If you are willing to explain, I would like to hear it too."

He was very sincere.

Bai Jue calmed down slowly and fell into silence.He actually regretted it, why did he say so many words all of a sudden, maybe Pei Jin gave him an outlet to let him vent all his grievances.

If it was in the Overwatch Council, he would not say any more.

But Pei Jin came to care about him and understand him like a bewitched man.

The two calmed down for a while, then Pei Jin said, "So... are you willing to say it?"

Bai decided to stare at him for a long time: "Wait a minute, I have a little indigestion, and you don't look like a liar... I mean, it's a little surprising that you said you believed me or something."

Pei Jin was angry: "Why lie to you, I really believe you."

Bai Jue's expression moved slightly: "You..."

This look is too familiar to Pei Jin, it is a nostalgic, hopeful, and probing look, reminding him that this body was once possessed by another consciousness, and it was still entangled with Bai Jue, all of which have nothing to do with him .

When Pei Jin still couldn't tell what the name of this emotion was, his body took the lead in making an instinctive judgment, and he immediately widened his eyes and became fierce: "Let me remind you, don't get me wrong, I'm just based on my own brain. Judgment that there is something hidden in everything.”

The light in Bai Jue's eyes disappeared instantly, and he turned his head: "I didn't misunderstand anything. I have always been clear."

He took a deep breath and regained his composure: "At that time... the magic summoning order appeared in the world, and the barrier cracked. Master burned his own elixir to repair the barrier, but the energy of the elixir was too great, and it would explode after leaving the body. For the sake of hundreds of thousands of living beings under Xianshan Mountain, Master asked me to pierce the spirit body before it exploded."

"The matter of Yin-Yang Pill is because I am a mixed cultivator. The monks who try to practice mixed cultivation in the Xianmen have never needed to form the alchemy first and then try other methods, but I started late, and I have several Taos in the alchemy stage. It is a blind cat. Going to the dead mouse just avoided the risk of mixed cultivation, and the spiritual pill became deformed because of it, Master knew it, so he used medicine to hide it for me all the time, and now I am still using it."

"It's true that I practice Xuanmen. Whether Xuanmen is evil or not is a matter of opinion. I don't think you, the head of the fairy sect, will have such a small vision. But the practice of Yaomen has always been a slander. That time in Beimang, you Yadao did not Some people also witnessed that the murderer was Fubo and not me. I don’t need to explain this. As for the collusion between me and Fubo, it’s even more nonsense. Before I went to Beimang, I didn’t know him at all. He is a pervert. See me He also knows Taoist techniques, so he insists on letting me go with him, our intersection is nothing more than that."

"If you have any questions or concerns, you can ask me."

Bai Jue clarified all these for himself expressionless, and after he finished speaking, he looked like he was waiting to be judged.He himself knew that this was his one-sided statement, and there was no strong evidence, otherwise he would not need to come to Yadao to continue to investigate the matter.Believe it or not, it all depends on Pei Jin.

"So... that's it." Pei Jin said awkwardly, "Then where have you been in the past 30 years, and what happened to the spirit lock poison?"

"It's hidden in Central Continent. I'm familiar with it there. The tracking technique can't catch me, and the spirit-locking poison... It was Master who exhausted his last spiritual power before he died to help me. The poison was so strong that my bone appearance changed because of it." For the past 30 years, I have been convalescing the residual poison, and it was completely cleaned up a while ago. I returned to the cultivation world and came to Yadao when I heard about the case of seizing spirits from the Taoist sect. You know everything about it.”

Pei Jin nodded slowly: "Sorry... 30 years ago I..."

Bai Jue looked at him uncomfortably: "There is nothing to be sorry about. You were not there in the first two public trials. You didn't feel sorry for me. At that time, it was difficult for others to believe me."

He never expected that Pei Jin would be the one who would apologize to others, and he was in a strange mood.

Pei Jin lowered her head with a complicated expression.

It is precisely because he is not in the public trial that I feel sorry.And the last time he was there at last, it ended like that.

He didn't want to see him suffer the humiliation of today again.

"Don't make such an expression, I'm so flustered." Bai Jue couldn't help but said, "Are you Pei Jin? Is it the Yadao Pei Jin who is so angry that no one pays for his life?"

Pei Jin's expression twisted: "Bai Jue, please be kind."

Bai Jue laughed, and he felt a burst of relief after saying it.Originally, I thought that no one would listen to or believe these words, but I never thought that one day the person who heard what he said and believed what he said was Pei Jin.

He had to admit that he had always been prejudiced against Pei Jin, especially after Pei Tingyao returned to the throne, he rejected Pei Jin uncontrollably. During those 30 years, he was alone and even hated Pei Jin.

Thinking about it now, it's not necessary.Since Pei Tingyao is his spiritual consciousness, going back is their common choice, so what can he say?

Blame yourself for suffering.

But now, he didn't dare to be too grateful to Pei Jin, so as to develop a good impression of Pei Jin, he was afraid.I was afraid that when I saw him, I would think of sad things and couldn't control myself.

He turned slightly sideways, lowered his eyebrows and asked, "The file in your hand... said something happened earlier, what happened?"

Speaking of this, Pei Jin narrowed his eyes and handed him the bamboo slip: "Look, after reading it, let me meet someone."

The author has something to say: Ah Xi, this chapter is so mouth-watering. I was angry and wronged for Bai Jue for a long time when I wrote it (laugh cry

I don’t want to stop at the place where I need to explain, so I can’t keep up with the number of words written, so it’s even later sorry~
