God please

Hearing this, Yue Zhong's expression, which was originally as bright as spring in March, seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and it turned dark in an instant.

Shan Zhiyuan asked: "Master, who is here?"

Yue Zhong only let out a long sigh, and said: "You can tell it just by looking at it."

Then slowly got up and walked out the door.

Shan Zhiyuan was still following behind Sect Master Yue as usual, and now his spiritual sense was released and his six senses were sharp. When he stepped out of the lobby, he saw a kneeling figure outside the courtyard door, his eyes immediately turned cold.

The one who couldn't kneel down and cried bitterly was his good senior brother Chen Jibei.

Shan Zhiyuan stopped and didn't go forward, but turned to ask Hu Mancang, "Does he come every day?"

Hu Mancang said: "I have been here every day, and it has been seven or eight days."

On the other side, Chen Jibei was still weeping bitterly, telling all the wrong things he had done before, he was really good at rapping and singing, and his tongue was full of flowers.

Yue Zhong couldn't bear it, so he had to avoid the burning eyes of the big apprentice, and said in a low voice: "Jibei, you go away, don't come again. If you do such a thing of deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors, even if I can tolerate you, the patriarch will not Not allowed."

Shan Zhiyuan's eyes became darker.

His master was the most soft-hearted, he was betrayed by his big apprentice once, but now he even reprimanded him so gently, he might not be able to withstand Chen Jibei's pestering and begging.

Chen Jibei looked sad, with tears streaming down his face, he knelt outside the courtyard gate and dared not enter, kowtowed repeatedly, and said sadly: "Master, this disciple has made such a big mistake, and I know that I have no face to face the patriarchs, and I am ashamed to treat my younger brother. The disciple deserves to die, and dare not ask the master for forgiveness. But if the disciple cannot see the master and junior brother Pingshun, he will feel uneasy..."

Seeing that Master was about to open his mouth, Shan Zhiyuan immediately stepped forward to stop him, and said coldly: "Your Excellency has seen it, please go back."

Chen Jibei was taken aback, this little junior brother has changed his appearance now, he is rich in spirit, with a clear and handsome aura, like a sharpened blade, exuding a compelling light.

His cultivation base is even thicker and deeper, and he can't see through it with his current strength.Could it be that the foundation has been established?

Chen Jibei was even more resentful in his heart, but he still forced a smile on his face: "Junior Brother..."

Shan Zhiyuan still replied bluntly: "I have no senior who betrayed my master."

Chen Jibei was so choked that he couldn't utter a word, and after a while he said, "It's good that you are safe and sound, I... I am still a disciple of the True Immortal Sect after all."

Then, full of anticipation, he turned his head to look at the head of Yue Zhong.

The two disciples who had been raised for more than [-] years stared at each other and expelled the teacher, but the old Taoist couldn't say it.Finally he let out a long sigh, and still said: "Go back." Then he turned and went back to the room.

In the evening wind, Master's figure was unspeakably bleak and old.

Shan Zhiyuan sighed in his heart, and he stopped entanglement with Chen Jibei, and went back to his room with Hu Mancang.

This wing room is built by the mountain, although it is just a stone cave, it is tidy and simple, which shows the owner's care.

Shan Zhiyuan saw the familiar furnishings in the room, and felt that the days had been turbulent, and it was only at this time that he found some peace.

He let out a long breath, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and made plans for the future.

Emperor Liu will definitely blame Xu Yu's death on him. Linghua Palace and Qiankun Pavilion are both giants. He can't afford to offend him now, so he needs to make early plans.

The master was soft-hearted, and Hu Mancang was the only one who joined the school. When Chen Jibei was expelled from the sect, Shan Zhiyuan was a legitimate senior brother, and the future of the True Immortal Sect rested on him.

There is a long way to go and a long way to go.Fortunately, things are looking up now.

When Shan Zhiyuan was about to practice, there was a melodious sound of a flute outside the window, mellow and clear, like a row of white cranes flying into the sky.Involuntarily, his brows were furrowed again, Chen Jibei was good at melody, he was always elegant, and he was very popular with female cultivators, but now he actually used these tricks to coax his master.

He had no choice but to leave his side room and knock on the door of Master's room.

As expected, the head of Yue Zhong was pacing around in the room, very troubled.Putting Shan Zhiyuan through the door, he let out another long sigh.

Shan Zhiyuan only raised his hand and set up a restraint to block the disturbing sound of the flute.Fangcai said: "Master, senior brother... Chen Jibei is a man with deep thoughts and vicious methods. The two of us were almost killed by him. Master must not soften his heart."

Yue Zhong didn't answer, the goatee was also dull now, he just took out an old padded jacket worn by a child from the wooden cabinet beside him.

The little padded jacket was originally bright red, and the fabric was inferior, but now it has faded. The stitches at the seams are neat and tight, but the patches are much simpler.

The head of Yue sighed: "24 years ago, there was a snowstorm in the north, and the victims were more than ten thousand. My teacher picked up Jibei from a female corpse in the snow, and put this padded jacket on him. In a blink of an eye, it has been 24 years. gone."

It was the first time for Shan Zhiyuan to hear his master mention Chen Jibei's life experience. He was not born 24 years ago, so he had never heard of this snow disaster.

Yue Zhong raised Chen Jibei for 24 years and Shan Zhiyuan for 20 years. The three of them have long been like father and son brothers.Yue Zhong was heartbroken by Chen Jibei's betrayal of his teacher, how could Shan Zhiyuan be safe?

It is because of wholehearted trust in exchange for betrayal that it is even more unforgivable.

Shan Zhiyuan didn't want to delve into this matter with Master, so he changed the subject, took out a storage bag from the Qiankun Ring, and put it in front of Yue Zhong, "Master, this is what I got from the Tianfang Ancient Tomb, and I specially used it to honor Master. .”

Yue Zhong was already sad, but seeing the young apprentice not only handsome and heroic, but also filial and pure, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the child, and immediately burst into tears, holding the exquisitely embroidered storage bag in his hand, choked up Said: "Zhiyuan... I'm happy that you came back safely to be a teacher, why bother..."

Shan Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Master, this time I have gained a lot, my True Immortal Sect will not have to worry about Lingshi anymore."

Yue Zhong only thought that he was exaggerating, but he didn't say anything. His consciousness sank into the storage bag, and suddenly he was stunned speechless by a burst of pearls shining brightly in the sea of ​​flowers and consciousness.

Shan Zhiyuan was afraid of frightening his master, so he only took [-] spirit stones, ten magic weapons and ten bottles of elixir, but his master was still overly frightened, his hand trembled, and the storage bag fell out of his hand.

Shan Zhiyuan had sharp eyes and quick hands, he reached out and grabbed the storage bag, put it on the table again, and said with a smile: "Master, this is obtained from the ancient tomb by disciple Tang Zhengzheng, please put it away with peace of mind."

But Yue Zhong returned the storage bag in front of Shan Zhiyuan, and said seriously: "You will spend more to cultivate in the future, so keep it for yourself."

Shan Zhiyuan felt warm in his heart, and smiled again: "Master, don't worry." Then he pushed the storage bag back to Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong's eyes fell on the storage bag, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise, and held the storage bag in his hand for a closer look.The small brocade pouch is brown as a whole, and the embroidery is extremely delicate, it is exactly what Shan Zhiyuan got from the monk of Sanshanguan earlier.

Yue Zhong frowned and said, "Zhiyuan, where did this storage bag come from?"

Shan Zhiyuan knew something was wrong, he didn't want to worry Master, so he said vaguely: "I found it in the ancient tomb, but I don't know who was hunted down by monsters, it must have been lost in a hurry."

This remark was reasonable, Master Yue did not have any doubts, secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and put away the storage bag.

Shan Zhiyuan saw it in his eyes and couldn't help asking: "Master, is it wrong?"

Yue Zhong hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's right, it's right, everything is right."

The intention of the cover-up is obvious, I'm afraid even A Tao can see it.Shan Zhiyuan didn't want to expose it, as long as he could make him no longer think about Chen Jibei.Why Master is so afraid of the Three Mountains Temple will be investigated slowly in the future.

Then he said: "Master, when will we set off and where are we going? The disciples will know, so they can prepare early."

When Yue Zhong was asked this question, he put aside all hesitation before, straightened up, and said solemnly: "Zhiyuan, are you willing to take on the important task of revitalizing the True Immortal Sect?"

Shan Zhiyuan also sat upright, and replied seriously: "I will not hesitate to smash my body to pieces."

Yue Zhong's face darkened, and he reprimanded: "If you need to smash your body to pieces in order to gain a little reputation, then the True Immortal Sect doesn't care."

Shan Zhiyuan sighed secretly, this old Taoist priest is a muddled father who loves his son, no wonder he managed a school so well.Even so, being so cherished by the master made him smile happily, and said: "Master, don't worry, this disciple is just talking, and he will never be smashed to pieces."

Yue Zhong only felt that what he said was a little disrespectful to the patriarch, but it was not easy to reprimand him, so he could only stare at him, seeing that the little apprentice was still smiling, not afraid at all, he could only let him go.Then he said: "Two years later, it will be the sect conference."

The sectarian conference is held every 30 years at the foot of Wandu Mountain.It is a grand gathering where the world's cultivation sects gather to compete with each other.

The reason why Ling Hua Palace ranks among the first-class sects is because every sect conference has talented disciples who emerge and rank among the best.This time, I am afraid that the important task will fall on Liu Huang.

Seeing Shan Zhiyuan's eager expression, Yue Zhong couldn't help sighing: "I never thought that I, Yue Zhong, would be able to send you to such a grand event in my lifetime..."

Shan Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, this disciple will definitely fight for the True Immortal Sect!"

Wandu Mountain is thousands of miles away in the south, if you go there while practicing, two years is not a long time.Once the master and apprentice have made a plan, the dust has settled on where to go.The two discussed again, before Shan Zhiyuan left.

The sound of the flute stopped for a while, and then it sounded again, but this time it felt a little weak and sad, with a sense of powerlessness.This Chen Jibei was probably sure that his master was soft-hearted, so he used a bitter trick to the extreme.

It's hard to think that Master has hardened his heart this time, insisting that he has never been allowed to come back.

Shan Zhiyuan's eyes darkened slightly, he patted the spirit beast bag lightly, and called, "A Tao, come out."

The black panther got the call, immediately jumped out of the bag, and landed in the courtyard, first put its front paws on Shan Zhiyuan's chest, acted like a spoiled child, and then ate two Spirit Beast Pills, just to be satisfied.

Shan Zhiyuan gently rubbed the animal's ears, and said softly: "A Tao, you've been bored for a long time, so go around and play around. Remember not to hurt anyone... If you play tricks, then feel free to do so."

The black panther got the master's order, and immediately refreshed, and ran out of the courtyard.

But after a while, Chen Jibei's distressed voice calling for help sounded outside the courtyard gate, but it gradually went away.

Behind Shan Zhiyuan, the wooden door opened with a creak, and the master ran out nervously, "What's going on?"

He just turned around and said with a smile: "It's okay, Master, my pet won't hurt anyone."

Although Yue Zhong's heart was soft, but fortunately he could tell the difference between good and evil, finally he let out a long sigh, turned around and went back to the wing room, shutting the door.

Under the moonlight, Shan Zhiyuan saw Hu Mancang also coming to the yard, and asked hesitantly, "Brother Zhiyuan, is Master okay?"

Shan Zhiyuan said: "Master, it's good if he has figured it out. It's really not appropriate to keep that person by his side." Now that he is carrying a treasure, he needs to be more cautious. Only the master knows about the pantheon, even Hu Mancang. Nothing was mentioned.

Immediately, he will set off for Wandu Mountain again, and discuss clearly with Hu Mancang about participating in the sectarian conference.

Hu Mancang said: "Since that's the case, the younger brother should go with me. It's just that my aptitude is mediocre, but I can't help the older brother."

Shan Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mancang, I know that your ambition is not to cultivate immortals, but to do business."

Hu Mancang was stunned, and couldn't help laughing shyly, scratching his head and said: "Since I am a disciple of the sect, I will wholeheartedly be a disciple of the True Immortal Sect, let the past go, let it go."

Shan Zhiyuan said seriously: "In the future, if our True Immortal Sect wants to grow, we still need financial resources to support it, and the warehouse is full. Are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility?"

Hu Mancang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Of course I am willing, I just sold the spirit stones in exchange for the giant spider's silk sac, and they have been used for repairs..."

Before Hu Mancang finished speaking, a storage bag fell into his bosom, which was full of magic treasures of spirit stones, and he couldn't help opening his mouth wide, unable to close it for a while.

Shan Zhiyuan said: "There are [-] low-grade spirit stones and six spirit weapons in this bag. The spirit stones are used as business resources. Whether you keep the spirit weapons or sell them, you can dispose of them as you like."

Hu Mancang was full of excitement, his eyes were shining, he just nodded desperately, but he couldn't say a word.

He only said that after being kicked out of the Qiankun Pavilion, life is hopeless, and it is just a helpless move to worship the True Immortal Sect.Unexpectedly, such a turnaround, the future is suddenly bright and shining.

Chen Jibei was teased by the black panther, his clothes were torn into rags, covered with bruises, he fled Jianglongling in embarrassment and stumbled in a forest.

At this moment, Jiufang Huangming's voice sounded from the depths of the Sea of ​​Consciousness, "It's just a show of the prodigal son's turning back, but even this thing failed, it's really a waste."

Chen Jibei said angrily: "If that kid Shan Zhiyuan didn't intervene, old man Yue Zhong would have been fooled by me."

Jiufang Huangming snorted coldly, and only said: "Let's go tomorrow."

Chen Jibei frowned and said, "Mozun, why do you think so hard that I must return to the sect?"

Jiufang Huangming said: "I have my own reason, if this matter is accomplished, it will benefit you."

Chen Jibei asked again: "But it has something to do with my junior brother jumping to build the foundation?"

Jiufang Huangming laughed and said: "Smart, smart. Your junior brother is afraid that he will get a big treasure. If you help me get that treasure, you will be rewarded a lot." Jiufang Huangming's words are true and false The false adulteration made Chen Jibei believe most of it, thinking that if you get the treasure, who will give it to you.

The two had their own ghosts, so they randomly found a place to meditate and adjust their breath.

At this time, in the Four Royal Palaces of the God Realm, in the Gouchen Hall, Gouchen's Meifeng was locked deeply, and he looked towards the audience.Seeing this, the Tianyi Xingguan repeated in a low voice: "My lord, I have found the reincarnation of the Emperor of Heaven."
