Fire and theft prevention

At dusk that day, everyone present saw a shadow rushing out of the blockade of thin smoke, heading northwest, and disappeared in an instant.

There are different opinions about what happened that day. Most of the monks believed that the black shadow was the fleeing Huo Wei, while a small number of stronger monks noticed the residual demon energy.

Some think that Huo Wei has already become a demon, while a very few say that the demon cultivator is just a smoke|mist|flame of Sect Master Shui, and the brothers and sisters are colluding together to hide the truth.

That remark had just surfaced, and it was met with fierce criticism. The rest said: "Master Shui has always distinguished between public and private, even his relatives and family are not partial, so how can he favor a senior brother with a different surname who betrayed the sect?"

That person recalled all kinds of favors he had received from Lingao Sect, and he felt ashamed when he heard the words, he felt that it was wolfish ambition to repay favors.

But the truth is, Shui Jingzhe's heart is indeed biased, but it's not partial to the Shui family, but to the two senior brothers who raised her.

After the thin smoke dissipated, Huo Wei was gone.The head of one faction stood tall and graceful in mid-air, announcing the "truth" that most people guessed: Huo Wei was defeated and fled.

A monk immediately flattered and flattered him: "Sect Master Shui forced the second traitor on the Mystery List to escape in embarrassment, and his cultivation has really improved a lot!"

Shui Jingzhe smiled humbly, shook his head and said: "This statement is wrong. Fortunately, with the help of this immortal friend, this seat is safe and sound."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Mu Qingjia who was standing not far away.

Only then did the rest of the people notice him, and a monk asked, "I don't know the name of this immortal friend Gao?"

"Yanshi." Mu Qingjia said.

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and all the monks were in an uproar, and noisy discussions broke out.

"Yanshi! It's actually Yanshi?!"

The junior asked: "Who is that?"

"Xianxiu who killed Venerable Liyan before the Immortal Demon Tribulation, there are many rumors about him, but this is the first time he has shown his face!"

"How is the cultivation base?"

"I can't tell. But if he can defeat Venerable Liyan, he must be a cultivator at the transformation stage."

When everyone was caught in the excitement of "meeting the legendary character" and hadn't recovered, a cry of cranes came from not far away.

The snow-white feathers fluttered, and after the crane feathers dispersed, an immortal appeared.

"Yanshi? I have long admired his name."

The man's voice was cold and untainted by the world, and when his clothes were flying, he was like a flawless crane.His beard and hair are all white, his skin is more snowy, and he is also dressed in a pure white fairy robe, except for a little cinnabar mole on the center of his eyebrows, like ice stained with blood.

Several cranes flew up one after another behind him, and among them, the one on the left was Bu Chen.

All the monks consciously kept silent, and retreated hundreds of meters to make room for the most powerful venerable in the world of cultivating immortals.

"Honor Songhe." Shui Jingzhe held his sword in salute, "Forgive me for being far away."

The man with pure white body is the first Dharma cultivator, the Suzerain of Xuanzong, Venerable Songhe Bu Chengbi.

"Master of Water."

Bu Chengbi returned the salute, and the eight Xuanzong disciples behind him were all respectful and bowed to Shui Jingzhe.

Mu Qingjia's heart was tense, she glanced at Bu Chen, and was relieved to see that he was acting as usual, exactly as Le Lu said, and did not reveal his identity as Yanshi.

He also thought of Huo Wei who had passed through the entrance of the side peak formation and hid in the cliff of life and death, and he was slightly relieved.

Bu Chengbi was the reason why Mu Qingjia wanted to stay.

When Qin Guan and Huo Wei faced each other with swords, a powerful aura approached from a distance. Although Bu Chengbi concealed it well, it still couldn't escape Mu Qingjia's spiritual eyes.

Shui Jingzhe defeated Huo Wei, who was fifth in the mystery list, and it was easy for ordinary monks to hide it, but it was difficult for Bu Chengbi, who was at the top of the mystery list and knew the power gap between the strong. its convincing.

Before the misunderstanding about the mountain treasure in Xuanzong town is resolved, Huo Wei cannot be allowed to face up to Chengbi in Gaotu Mountain, so Chengbi must give in to believe that it was Huo Wei who lost to the northwest.

Therefore, the helper "Yanshi" must appear.

"Sect Master Bu." Mu Qingjia nodded slightly, and he had the right to salute.

He maintains the image of "Yanshi" in the rumors: a mysterious casual cultivator who thinks he is noble and does not go with the secular world, and speaks few words.

Bu Chengbi didn't mind his attitude either, with a kind and generous smile, quite the demeanor of a patriarch.

This point is very similar to Bu Chen.

After Shui Jingzhe exchanged greetings with Bu Chengbi, he led the guests from Xuanzong to the main peak, and Mu Qingjia was naturally also invited.

This is the first time he has returned to the main peak of Gaotu after his rebirth, and he couldn't help but be moved by the scene, indulged in the past memories, and remained silent.

So when Bu Chengbi asked about him, Mu Qingjia almost didn't recover.

"My deity sees that the immortal friend has been closing his eyes. I don't know if it is caused by the practice, or the eyes are obstructed?"

"Born like this." Mu Qingjia didn't want to say more.

Bu Chengbi was cold, but he was still very interested in him: "This deity is proficient in medical principles. Although he is not called a holy hand, he has cured some serious illnesses. I wonder if you would like to try it?"

Mu Qingjia's heart trembled, and he said, "No."

When Xuanzong's disciples saw him being so disrespectful, they all had harsh expressions on their faces.Only Bu Chen looked at him with a complicated expression, hesitating to speak.

Mu Qingjia's standard indifference is what he learned from his junior brother, if not, he would not be able to take down his face and reject Bu Chengbi.

What does it mean that Bu Chengbi wants to treat his eyes?Could it be that he has already doubted his identity, so he wants to ask the doctor to check whether he is the returning soul tree?

"No problem." Bu Chengbi said kindly, "Eye disease is indeed difficult to cure, and it is only natural for immortal friends to refuse. It is a pity that there is no panacea in this world, and even the treasure of my sect, the soul-returning tree, cannot cure such old diseases .”

His voice is soft, but there is a warning hidden in it.

It was only then that Mu Qingjia figured out the key point: he had been missing for 50 years, but suddenly appeared when the soul-returning wood was announced to the world, and he was blind. Bu Chengbi probably believed that he wanted to snatch the soul-returning wood to reshape his body so To cure eye disease is to make such a statement.

He felt a little relieved, but with an unhappy expression on his face, he said coldly, "I'll save it."

At this time, their flying magic weapon was passing an extremely strange wooden building.To say it is a building, it is better to say that it is a towering giant tree growing in Gaotu Mountain.

The giant tree hovers upwards like a wooden flower bud, while the core resembles the edge of a sword, straight up into the sky.The outer layer is in a budding posture, and there are sword cultivators from Gaotu Mountain shuttling between each petal of the flower.

When the sword cultivators saw Shui Jingzhe and his group passing by, they all put down the jade slips in their hands and bowed to the master.

Even the disciples of Xuanzong who came from the first sect of Faxiu were all amazed when they saw this giant tree.

Bu Chengbi was very interested: "Is this the Book Collection Pavilion of your sect? I have heard the name for a long time, and I am finally honored to pay my respects."

"Yes." Shui Jingzhe smiled and said, "It's strange to say that this tree has grown in the past 50 years, and it still contains all kinds of classics collected by the master during his lifetime. I made my own idea and took advantage of the opportunity to use it as a collection of books. use."

"I have to sigh a word of supernatural workmanship." Bu Chengbi said with a smile.

——Heaven's uncanny workmanship?Mu Qingjia couldn't help but laugh: This is clearly his natal spirit sword, Tianyi Sword!

It's no wonder that Xingru said that he could find the natal spirit sword when he arrived at the main peak, probably because the famous Zangshu Pavilion was transformed by his Tianyi sword.

He now remembered that when he was young, he always liked to go to Zangshuge to peek at Master's forbidden books, and he was always punished by Master.Out of some considerations, before the master ascended to the ascension, he handed over the full authority of the Zangshu Pavilion to him for safekeeping.

Mu Qingjia is the most precious of all. On the eve of the Immortal Demon Tribulation, he thought that his spirit sword was the safest in the Kyushu, so he sealed all the Zangshu Pavilion in the Tianyi Sword.

Mount Gaotu was destroyed by the flames of the demon cultivator, but the Cangshu Pavilion survived hidden in the sword of Tianyi, and then buried deep underground with the restart of the mountain protection formation.

Unexpectedly, in the past 50 years, Tianyijian was so unwilling to be lonely, and was "grown" from the ground as a tree, forming such a sturdy appearance today.

——I don't know how much water my junior sister poured into this "tree" to completely lose Tian Yijian's figure.

Although he found the spirit sword now, he couldn't get it back to his side.Tianyi Sword has become an inseparable part of Lingao Sect, and for Mu Qingjia, Tianyi Sword born in Gaotu Mountain can play a greater role than being in his waist.

He had a lot of back and forth in his heart, and others only thought he was indifferent and ignoring others.Shui Jingzhe received everyone with honored guests, Xuanzong's disciples were all led to their respective guest rooms, only Bu Chengbi led his personal apprentice Bu Chen, and followed Shui Jingzhe into the main hall of the master.

Mu Qingjia noticed that Bu Chen had been a little embarrassed just now, and if it was said that he was fighting an inner battle between a friend and a master, it didn't quite look like it.

Looking at the erratic appearance of the aura, it was very similar to Huo Wei's embarrassment when Mu Qingjia got too close.

Mu Qingjia followed his gaze, and then his eyes touched his junior sister.

Suddenly, he even had the thought of getting Bu Chen drunk a thousand times.

After the idlers had cleared away, Bu Chengbi sat facing east and chatted several times before he began to explain his purpose of coming.

"Master Shui may also have heard about it. A few days ago, there were rumors in the comprehension world that the secret treasure of Zhenshan, which has been stolen by our sect for a long time, is on its way to the Lingao faction, or has successfully entered this mountain."

There was a bit of embarrassment on his face, "I have always respected the Sect Master impartially, and would never harbor thieves. It's just—the source of the news is Fuyu Shuixie, and I have to believe it."

"I have also heard about this, so I have to be on guard every day to prevent thieves from sneaking in." Shui Jingzhe said, "The Venerable came today at the right time, maybe the Underworld Butterfly Sword gave up just because it sensed the Venerable's aura. Enter Gaotu Mountain and escape."

Bu Chengbi said: "Coincidentally, the deity followed that powerful demon energy and arrived at Gaotu Mountain ahead of time. Unexpectedly, this demon cultivator is..."

One of them is the leader of the sword cultivator, and the other is the leader of the law cultivator. The two of them talked and laughed at Yan Yan, but they didn't know how much truth they had, and how much they hid their swords in their smiles.

The remaining two people in the hall only regarded themselves as background boards, but Mu Qingjia was assessing Bu Chengbi's strength, while Bu Chen stood blankly behind his master, looking up at Shui Jingzhe every once in a while, Then slowly blushed again, missing his eyes.

Shui Jingzhe was noncommittal to Bu Chengbi's words, and deduced: "Maybe there is something in this faction that must be obtained for the Butterfly Sword, so he will take the risk to come here."

What she said was half true and half false, but others sounded very true.Bu Chengbi shook his head and sighed: "This child, he never gives up until he reaches his goal. Maybe he will go and come back again. I once had high hopes for this young talent, but I didn't expect that he would go astray later. It is a great pity for the world of cultivating immortals."

What I said, those who don't know may really think that a father is a kind father and a son is filial, but Mu Qingjia clearly remembers that Venerable Jian and Venerable Songhe had a bad relationship in the past, and Bu Chengbi was at most in the fairy robbery Having met Huo Wei, it is far from "repaying high hopes".

Shui Jingzhe comprehended the meaning of his words, followed by sighing, and said: "Since that's the case, I will cooperate with the Venerable to strictly investigate Mount Gaotu, and will never let go of the Nether Butterfly Sword."

"Thank you for your understanding." Bu Chengbi smiled like a fairy, "The head of Shui Sect is a woman who does not give in to men, and she is really someone who can be entrusted to. In this way, Bu Mou can be regarded as a matter of concern."

He suddenly changed his self-proclaimed name from "true deity" to "bumou", put aside his identity as the head of the clan, and assumed the image of a benevolent elder.

Mu Qingjia suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"It's unfortunate that Sect Master Shui is supporting the Lingao faction all by himself now. Its hardships are obvious to all." Bu Chengbi waved his hand, called Bu Chen to him, stroked his hand and said, "My child is also a single seedling. , I have lost my parents since I was a child, and my brothers and sisters... don't mention it."

Bu Chen was a little dumbfounded, and didn't dare to look directly at Shui Jingzhe, his face was slightly red.

Shui Jingzhe's smile gradually faded: "What does your lord mean?"

Bu Chengbi said kindly: "You two children have similar experiences, and you are also both outstandingly talented. They are a match made in heaven. In recent years, Bu has always felt that his end is approaching, and the world of mortals has seen everything, but he alone can't let go of my disciple. .If the two of you entrust each other, my wish will be fulfilled."

"This..." Shui Jingzhe slightly frowned.

She occupies a high position, and countless monks covet her talent, appearance and power, and it is not the first time that they have lobbied her to join him.However, it was the first one who was as powerful and difficult to refuse as Bu Chengbi, and she didn't think of excuses for a moment.

Bu Chengbi went on to say: "If you are concerned about sect factions, Sect Leader Shui doesn't have to worry about it. My child will definitely inherit Xuanzong in the future, and your status and status are not considered an insult to you. You two Taoist couples It would be a beautiful thing to work together to govern the world of cultivating immortals."

Shui Jingzhe remained silent for a long time, and Bu Chen also saw her refusal, sobered up from joy.

His heart was cold, but he still said: "Master, there is no rush to get married. The head of Jing and Shui heard about this, I'm afraid it's difficult to think carefully, so please give her more time."

He paused, then summoned up his courage to Shui Jingzhe and said, "If Sect Master Shui refuses to me, Bu Chen will never complain. Even though, Chen has long admired Sect Master Shui for a long time."

As soon as Bu Chen finished speaking, he realized that he had spoken out his heart in a hurry, and couldn't help but blushed with embarrassment, coughed twice, and retreated behind Bu Chengbi.

"It was Bu who was abrupt."

Shui Jingzhe was also quite surprised, and cast a grateful glance at him, returning to her usual calmness.

"What Ling disciple said is very true." She said slowly, "The Kyushu is still undecided, and I dare not talk about the matter of getting married. What's more..."

"What's more," Mu Qingjia suddenly said coldly from the side, "The master of water is from the root of the water spirit, and the disciples are from the earth, and the earth and water restrain each other. How can there be any reason to become a Taoist companion?"

He laughed mockingly, and said: "As the head of a sect, to do such a forced marriage, to bully a weak woman to the face, really opened Yan's eyes."

No matter who this step Chengbi is, if he dares to embarrass his junior sister, he is tired of work.

The author has something to say:

OOC Small Theater:

Bu Chen: Why did I feel the fusion of Mu Qingjia and Huo Wei in Yanshi!Could it be that their future heirs will be so difficult?No, they won't have kids...

Huo Wei (OOC cosplay): Qing Jia took me as a cosplay object.

Mu Qingjia (sincerely speaking): Martial sister, Ma Baonan is a bad boy!If you live with Buchen, will you marry him or will he marry you?You two should sell it to his master together!

Bu Chen (heartbroken): What about the good brother who was promised for a lifetime?Isn't the general routine all about marrying your own sister to your good brother?Why do I... (make up my mind) Forget it, it's not impossible for me to marry.

Shui Jingzhe is trying her best to prevent Huo Wei from drawing his sword and chopping Bu Chen.
