when you become a cheater
Work related
It's especially hit with each other, but it's no wonder that He Jian is still like a child who hasn't grown up. Although Gu Qinian is smart and transparent, she is a woman after all, and she looks at things from different angles in many things, and Liu Yingfeng is also reserved. Looking at it this way, it is not surprising that Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yuan admire each other.
Speaking of rising, Xiao Zhuo ordered the palace people to hold a banquet in the imperial garden. It was golden autumn, the season of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, and the special sweet-scented osmanthus brewing in the palace was also presented.
Xiao Zhuo said with a smile: "This sweet-scented osmanthus brew is sweet and mellow, and its stamina is not very strong. You might as well drink a few more cups."
When the four of them tasted it, it was really good wine, even a cultivator who didn't have a strong appetite couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.Halfway through the drink, Yuan Hengzhi suddenly remembered the matter of Qing Xiao's drunkenness in the past.
Xiao Zhuo happened to see it and asked, "But what's wrong with this wine?"
Yuan Hengzhi paused his fingers, convulsed a few times, and then shook his head as a cover-up: "There is nothing unusual about this wine, I just remembered that Hengzhi has been away from the sect for a long time, but as a disciple, he can't serve the master. I can’t help but feel ashamed.”
"Oh?" Xiao Zhuo said, "Master Xiang must be a man of noble conduct and profound Taoism."
The national teacher has been by the side all the time, and when he heard Xiao Zhuo's words, his face revealed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty doesn't know that in the past, the old Taoist had the honor to meet Yuan Daoyou's teacher Qingxiao Zhenjun, and the real gentleman's demeanor, I still don’t forget it, but there is no other person who can compare to him.”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhuo couldn't help being fascinated: "The national teacher said so, but I am also curious."
Yuan Hengzhi concealed his strange expression and regained his usual calmness: "I'm afraid your majesty will be disappointed. The family teacher has always lived in secluded places, and your majesty is sitting in the Dragon Court. Adding up the two together, I'm afraid it won't be easy to see."
He turned to the national teacher again and asked, "I wonder when the national teacher met the family teacher?"
The other three people also felt a little curious, that is, as nephews, they had never met Qing Xiao a few times since they started, and now this old man with ordinary background and mediocre qualifications in their eyes actually said that they had met once, how could they not let them surprise.
The national teacher said with a smile: "Although the cultivation bases of the few are extraordinary, they are still young after all, and it is normal that they don't know much about the affairs of the previous generation."
He stroked his long beard, and his eyes showed fascination: "More than 200 years ago, the old Taoist followed his master to the secret place of Xiaohan Mountain to participate in the trial, and he was lucky to meet the real king. At that time, the disciples of the five schools gathered together. What a grand occasion, among them There are no ordinary people who are outstanding, but even so, the only one who can be compared with the true emperor is the Wen Xing Zhenjun of the Tianwei Sect. These two are called the Xuanmen Shuangbi, and they are the most amazing and brilliant figures in the cultivation world for thousands of years. Everyone in this generation of veterans really knows about it.
He Jian, Gu Qinian, and Liu Yingfeng were fascinated by hearing this, and couldn't help but outline the grand occasion of the past in their hearts, but Yuan Hengzhi quietly clenched his fists, feeling uneasy, why would Wen Xing's name appear in the same place as his master? When others talk about it, they all feel that the beautiful jade is shining, intimate and harmonious, but I can only appear incidentally, as if the master is an unreachable moon in the sky.
Thinking of it this way, the jealousy that grew out of him was like a vine tightly strangling his heart, it was so sour that it was hard to describe.
It's just that he is quite a man of the city after all, what he thinks in his heart doesn't show at all on the surface, he chats and laughs with everyone, and after a meal, on the surface, the host and guest enjoy themselves, without any displeasure.
Xiao Zhuo took advantage of the opportunity to invite the four of them to stay and play, and there was no urgent matter, so the four readily agreed.
During this period, Princess Rong An came to provoke him several times, but she recognized Yuan Hengzhi and used all her troublesome efforts.Yuan Hengzhi didn't want to argue with her, so he simply ignored her and treated her indifferently, but Rong An didn't care about it at all, and just grabbed him and wouldn't let him go.
Known daughter Mo Ruomu, the Queen Mother can see Princess Rong An's thoughts clearly.
The queen mother summoned Rong An and stared at her daughter carefully: "Tell the queen mother, did you fall in love with that primordial master?"
Rong An's face turned red when he heard it, and he said coquettishly, "What are you talking about, queen mother, how can my daughter like such a cold and hard rock?"
When the Queen Mother saw Rong An's expression, she understood most of it in her heart. The men her daughter had seen since she was a child were all obedient to her, but now a man who didn't buy it suddenly came, with a handsome appearance, like Rong An. The girl couldn't resist the most, so she poured all her emotions into it.
"Listen to what the queen mother said." Although the queen mother is the most noble woman in the world, she is also a mother who is deeply worried about her daughter. "There must be no result between you and that fairy teacher." , he is a person cultivating immortals, and he will live forever in the future. Although you are a princess, you are just an ordinary girl in their eyes. What's more, a woman's face is short, and when you grow old in the future, he will still be the same, and you How should you deal with yourself? It’s better to stop thinking about it now and find a son of a noble family in Beijing, he will treat you like a pearl and treasure, and dare not bear you.”
Rong An's bright red cheeks turned pale following the Queen Mother's words, and now she couldn't care less about the girl's reserve, and looked at her mother stubbornly, with tears in her eyes: "But I just like him! I am the only one of those obedient families. I don't like it either, so what if they are being held up by them in Beijing? If you can't be with the person you like, what's the point of your daughter's life!"
The Empress Dowager saw the daughter crying like this in her palm, her heart softened a lot, but she is someone who has experienced the ups and downs of the court, so she wouldn't change her mind just like that, stroked Rong An's black hair, and sighed: " If you like him, what if he doesn't like you?"
There were still tears on Rong An's face, but he was stunned on the spot after hearing this, unable to utter a word.
Does Yuan Hengzhi like her?
The answer to this question is that Rong An himself knows very well that no man can be so indifferent when facing the person he admires, like a stone that can never be warmed.
But Rong An refused to give up. From childhood to adulthood, as long as it was something he wanted, no matter how he started, he would definitely get it in the end, and this time was no exception.
For a man, if a girl with a noble status and a beautiful face expresses her heart to him desperately, even if she has no intention of doing so at first, she will feel pity in the end, and she cannot bear to refuse.
Rong An couldn't hold back his thoughts anymore, and rushed out of the hall in a hurry: "Queen Mother, I'll ask him to find out!"
The queen mother got angry in a hurry, and quickly ordered the guards to stop Rong An, but the guards also knew that the princess was the queen mother's heart, so how dare they really stop her.
The Empress Dowager felt her temples throbbing, and said in a trembling voice: "The Ai family can't control this girl now, hurry up and ask the emperor to deal with this matter!"
After finishing speaking, the whole person fell down on the couch, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.

When Rong An found Yuan Heng, he was admiring the flowers with his younger brother and younger sister, and they were very close to Gu Qinian. The two stood together, one handsome and tall, the other beautiful and beautiful, they looked really like Bi people, and they matched in every possible way. .
Especially Yuan Hengzhi still had a gentle smile on his face, completely different from the cold look in front of him.Rong An was furious, and regardless of his status, he stepped forward and pushed Gu Qinian away.
It's just that she forgot that Gu Qinian was not those fragile and charming ladies in the capital, but a real foundation-building cultivator. She, a mortal, couldn't push her, but her wrist was locked and she couldn't break free.
When I raised my eyes, I caught a glimpse of Yuan Hengzhi's icy face: "I think you are a woman, so you are patient and don't care about it. I didn't expect you to go too far, and you want to do something to my junior sister for no reason. It's too deceiving!"
When Rong An heard that the person he admired defended another woman in such a way, he was already on the verge of jealousy, and when he saw Gu Qinian standing aside, he looked over with disdain, but he didn't know how to laugh at himself in his heart. Staring at Gu Qinian, his eyes almost burst into flames.
It's just that Rong An thought of his purpose here, forced himself to suppress his anger, and grabbed Yuan Heng's cuff: "Come with me, I have something to tell you."
Unexpectedly, Yuan Hengzhi didn't spare any sympathy, pulled out his cuffs, and said coldly: "If the princess has anything to say, please say it here, there is a difference between you and me, if you go somewhere else alone, it will damage the princess's reputation." .”
He seemed to be thinking of Rong An in his words, but even a blind man could hear the unequivocal refusal, which made Rong An stomp his feet in anger.Although she has a hot temper, she is still a daughter after all, how can she express her feelings in front of others? On the one hand, she was annoyed by Yuan Hengzhi's incomprehensible style, and on the other hand, she blamed it on Gu Qinian. It is the biggest obstacle blocking oneself.
Gu Qinian looks gentle and demure on the outside, but in fact he is not the one to be bullied. Seeing that Rong An was annoyed, she lightly supported the Ziyun Liuli hairpin in her bun with her bare hands, and said casually: "If the princess is upright in her heart, why can't she be here?" Chu Ming said, but you still want to find that secluded place?"
This attitude of looking down from above completely angered Rong An. For a moment, she completely forgot about her reservedness as a royal princess, and stared at Yuan Hengzhi with bright eyes without blinking: "I like you, I want You are my son-in-law."
The other four people were stunned immediately, Gu Qinian's hand rested on the hairpin, not knowing whether to continue or let it go.
He Jian was the one who reacted the quickest. He approached Liu Yingfeng and whispered: "Senior Sister Liu, I only heard that mortal women are the most gentle and virtuous, but I didn't expect this princess to be more gentle than our female cultivators in the cultivation world." Bolder."
Before Liu Yingfeng could reply, she heard a deep and angry shout: "Rong An, have you had enough trouble!"
It was Xiao Zhuo who hurried over with a group of guards.
Xiao Zhuo was really angry at this moment. Although he usually dotes on this younger sister, once Rong An's behavior threatens the stability of the royal family, he will never be soft-hearted.
In fact, Xiao Zhuo also had such an idea in the beginning, if Rong An could get Yuan Heng's favor and use it to get closer to Shang Xuanzong, it would indeed be a harmless thing; but Yuan Hengzhi obviously had no intention of Rong An, In such a situation, if you continue to entangle them blindly, you will not only lose face, but also arouse the other party's resentment, and even the original friendship may be in vain.
Xiao Zhuo would not be afraid if he just had a bad relationship with Yuan Heng and others, but behind them was the giant Shang Xuanzong, and the one who suffered in the end must be the Dayan royal family.
Rong An's nonsense almost made all his plans come to nothing, how could Xiao Zhuo not be angry, so he sternly reprimanded his sister.
Rong An has always been afraid of his own Xiao Zhuo, but at this moment, he didn't know where the courage came from. He ignored his frightening elder brother, and only looked at Yuan Hengzhi persistently: "I just want to know whether you are willing or not."
Xiao Zhuo was extremely angry. Since he took the throne ten years ago, no one dared to defy him so blatantly. Unexpectedly, it was Rong An who set a precedent. At that moment, the last trace of concern disappeared, and he waved his palm fiercely.
With the crisp sound of "啪——", half of Rong An's cheeks swelled instantly, and the guards at the side also imprisoned Rong An under Xiao Zhuo's signal, and were about to take her down.
Xiao Zhuo suppressed his anger, and said to Yuan Hengzhi: "Little sister is really stubborn, and now I have caused so much trouble for Brother Yuan. As the elder brother, I will make amends on my behalf. Please don't take it to heart."
Yuan Heng's expression was complicated, and he replied: "Your Majesty is serious."
Rong An's cry came from beside his ears: "Brother Huang, let them let me go!"
Xiao Zhuo turned around suddenly, and said: "Let go of what are you doing? Continue to embarrass the royal family!"
Rong An still didn't give up: "Yuan Hengzhi, answer me! I just want to hear your answer with my own ears!"
The young man was imperceptibly silent for a moment, and then he said calmly: "Princess loves me so much, Heng Zhi is ashamed not to be worthy of it." Although the words were euphemistic, the meaning was clear, leaving no trace of hope for Rong An.
At this time, there was no sound in the imperial garden, only Rong An's mournful cries did not want to dissipate.
After a while, Yuan Hengzhi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down, the princess just couldn't figure it out for a while, as long as Your Majesty persuades her more, she will naturally be relieved."
Xiao Zhuo responded, he had restrained his anger at this time, his face was gloomy, and he couldn't peek out the thoughts in his heart.
Gu Qinian is also full of mixed feelings. She has always disliked Rong An's savagery, and thinks that this girl is useless except for her looks. However, after experiencing the incident just now, most of the bad feelings in her heart have dissipated. This is not because of a woman's natural pity, but because if she In the same situation, I never have the courage to express my thoughts and desires so straightforwardly.
This kind of thinking is not just Gu Qinian's, He Jian also murmured: "Now I don't hate her so much."
After such a thing happened, the four of them naturally couldn't stay in the palace, and they were about to leave immediately, but Xiao Zhuo tried to persuade them to stay, saying that if they left now, people in the world would laugh at the royal family's poor hospitality, the four of them Only then did he agree to stay one more night and leave after dawn tomorrow.
The next day, after the four of them left, Xiao Zhuo was reviewing the memorial in the hall when a guard came in and said in panic, "Your Majesty, Princess Rong An is gone!"
Xiao Zhuo stood up abruptly, and said in a deep voice, "Quickly invite the national teacher to come here!"
The members of the royal family were all given secret methods, and the national teacher could find their location for safety.Xiao Zhuoping looked at the state teacher's divination, and finally heard the conclusion: "The princess is going to the north!"
A terrible cloud formed between Emperor Yan's brows: "Come here, recover the princess for me. If there is any resistance, I will only save my life."
The national teacher didn't want him to say these words, shook his hands, and the tortoise shell used for divination in his palm rolled to the ground, and as soon as he picked it up, he saw Xiao Zhuo's savage gaze: "The national teacher is a smart man You don't need me to remind you, you will naturally understand what to say and what not to say in front of the Empress Dowager."
The national teacher didn't dare to talk too much, and hurriedly retreated while holding the tortoise shell.
On the other hand, after the four of Yuan Hengzhi left the capital, they traveled north. They had nothing to do, so the trip was quite relaxed, and they were not in a hurry. They walked along the way and came to a famous A small place called Tongcheng.
As soon as they entered Tongcheng, the four of them noticed something unusual. They couldn't see a woman in the city at a glance, and even those men's faces showed more or less worried expressions.
When he found the inn, the shopkeeper saw Gu Qinian and Liu Yingfeng, and only said: "I advise everyone to leave Tongcheng as soon as possible after tonight, it's really dangerous for the two girls to be here."
This is very strange, ordinary shopkeepers are naturally willing to let their guests stay as long as possible, there must be some abnormalities in it to persuade people to leave early before staying in the store.
The four hurriedly asked the reason, and the shopkeeper sighed and said, "I don't know. Recently, strange things happened in Tongcheng, and young women disappeared one after another. Even if the government dispatched a large number of arresters, they found nothing. Everyone said that they were taken by the mountain god to be a pawn." You have come from other places, you must have seen the scene in the city, where there are still women who dare to go out, all of them are hidden at home by parents and brothers."
Seeing that Yuan Hengzhi and the others seemed to be suspicious, he rushed over and lowered his voice: "You guys, don't believe me, someone witnessed this with their own eyes. The guy in the shop, Xiao Liuzi, went shopping on the street two days ago. When he came back and passed an alley, he saw a beautiful girl in red who was swept away by a black wind in the blink of an eye. Xiao Liuzi was so frightened that even the vegetables were still on the ground, and he ran back in a hurry. I was scolded for this.”
The shopkeeper sighed and said: "It's a pity for that girl, she is young and beautiful, and her life or death is unknown. So you should listen to my advice and leave early."
The four of them didn't take it seriously at first, they only thought it was a mortal pretending to be a ghost, but when they heard the black wind appearing out of nowhere, they couldn't help but look serious, they were afraid that the disappearance of the woman in red was inseparably related to the monks.
After entering the guest room, Liu Yingfeng first asked: "Brother Yuan, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the magic cultivator, so what should we do?"
Yuan Hengzhi thought for a while, and said: "As members of the Shangxuan sect, we naturally cannot just sit idly by when encountering such things. Now I do have an idea, I wonder if Junior Brother He and the two Junior Sisters would like to hear it?"
The three of them agreed, so they heard Yuan Hengzhi say, "Why don't we lure the snake out of the hole and go to the most prosperous place in the city tomorrow to play, and now all the women in the city are hiding at home. After the existence of this junior sister, we will definitely attack again, and then we can follow the clues and investigate the matter clearly. It’s just that Gu Shimei and Liu Shimei are probably in danger, but I am an incompetent senior brother.”
Gu Qinian smiled sweetly and said: "Senior brother, why did you say that, tomorrow's actions all depend on senior brother's ingenious plan, besides, this is to prevent demon cultivators from harming mortals, it should be my duty with Junior Sister Liu."
The four of them immediately made a plan and only waited for tomorrow to act according to the plan.
寻踪
The next day, the four of them got up early and went to those tailor shops and jewelry stores, pretending to be Gu Qinian and Liu Yingfeng choosing clothes. Everyone in the shop knew that there were two pretty girls from other places.
By the afternoon, the four of them had already noticed a hidden spiritual consciousness sweeping back and forth, and they were still buying various items as if they didn't know it.
Before they came out of the inn, they had already restrained their spiritual power and pretended to be ordinary people. The person in the dark obviously hadn't noticed any abnormalities, and not long after, they locked their spiritual consciousness on Gu Liu and the two of them. It seemed that they were planning to make a move.
The four of them exchanged glances calmly, with an unaware expression still on their faces. After a cup of tea, they pretended to be returning home exhausted, and returned to the inn with a bunch of things.
The spiritual sense seemed to hesitate for a moment, then let go of his scruples, and followed several people from far and near.
After walking for half a moment, the four of them flashed and turned into an alley, and the spiritual consciousness hurriedly followed in.There was no one in the alley, and the four of them seemed to be unaware of the danger that was close at hand, talking and laughing unaware, like lambs being slaughtered, and could no longer escape his palm.
The person in the dark couldn't help but feel complacent. These two women are quite pure in physique, and they are the best blood guides in the formation. If they are caught in the sect, he will definitely be rewarded. If the plan in the sect succeeds, it will be It is also very possible to reward yourself with a Foundation Establishment Pill.
When he succeeds in building his foundation, there is no need to do such drudgery, and he will be a bit of a bird from time to time.
He was fascinated by that fantasy, and even lost his initial caution, he hurriedly opened an air bag, and released a black wind from the bag, attacking Gu Qinian and Liu Yingfeng like a flexible long snake.
He fully thought that catching those two delicate girls would be an easy task. Who would have thought that the handsome and tall young man next to him drew out his long sword and drew a sharp sword light, and the black wind would be cut in half, instantly dissipated in the air.
The man turned pale with fright, he couldn't believe his eyes, the air bag was a magic weapon bestowed by the elders in the door, it was extremely powerful, with that black wind he caught dozens of women in Tongcheng, and he never missed, dreaming He didn't expect to be cut off by the sword of the noble-like young man.
Even the magic weapon bestowed by the elder didn't work, and of course he wasn't an opponent, the man turned around and ran away, but it was already too late, Gu Qinian said coldly: "I want to run, but it's not that easy!"
She shook her plain hand, and a water-colored long silk flew out suddenly, a gap was suddenly torn in mid-air, and a person fell from it, who was tied tightly by the long silk.
Only then did the man realize that he had misread, these people were not lambs waiting to be slaughtered, they were clearly tigers with their sharp claws hidden!Immediately, all fantasies were gone, and he begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Fellow Taoists, spare your lives! I was only instigated by someone, so I was confused and attacked you for a while."
Yuan Hengzhi and the others didn't expect that before the interrogation started, this person would confide the matter in one go, feeling rather dumbfounded.In fact, it's no wonder that this person was not taken seriously in the sect, so he was assigned the drudgery of catching people. Now that he is in danger, he naturally won't have any loyalty. Say it all to save your life.
He Jian put the long sword around the man's neck and drank: "As long as you tell everything you know, we are not indiscriminate killers, so naturally we won't take your life; but if we let you If you find out that you have lied, then you don't need to keep this thing around your neck anymore!"
The cold air from the sword's edge penetrated through the skin without hindrance, and the man trembled in fright, "Just ask, I'll tell you everything!"
Liu Yingfeng said: "Well, let me tell you first, what is your name, which sect are you from, and why did you arrest those girls?"
The man swallowed his saliva, "I, my name is Song Li, and I'm under the Xuelian sect. The elders of the sect ordered those women to be arrested. It is said that they are going to practice some kind of grand formation."
Blood Refining Gate!The four of them looked at each other in shock, all they thought of was the turmoil in the secret realm of Xiaohan Mountain.
He Jian moved the tip of the sword a few minutes closer, and drew a thin bloodstain on Song Li's neck: "What else do you know, tell me everything, or don't blame the sword for being ruthless!"
Song Li felt the warm liquid on his neck, and he was so frightened that he burst into tears, "I'm just a low-level disciple, I've already told you everything I know, I really don't know anything else!"
With a clear mind, Liu Yingfeng asked, "Isn't the Blood Refining Gate originally in Qizhou, why is it now in Tongcheng?"
Hearing this, Yuan Hengzhi glanced at her appreciatively. This was exactly the question he wanted to ask. At the beginning, all the sects fought against the Blood Refining Sect together, but found that the other party had already moved away. Now maybe they can clarify the doubts.
Song Li didn't dare to hide it, and said hastily: "I know! About two or three months ago, the door suddenly sent an order, saying that there was a big enemy coming, and ordered us to pack up and follow the door to Tongcheng. Many people were dissatisfied, we had a good stay in Qizhou, why did we bother to come to this small place like Tongcheng, but the order was delivered by Senior Brother He, the direct disciple of the sect master, and whoever dared not to listen, followed to Tongcheng."
After listening to Song Li's words, Yuan Hengzhi described to him the appearance of the man surnamed He in the Xiaohan Mountain secret realm: "Is this the senior brother you are talking about?"
"That's right," Song Li shrank his neck, "That's exactly Senior Brother He Yuanhe, the only apprentice of our sect master."
In this way, things made sense. It must be that He Yuan fled back and told the Blood Slaughter Demon Lord what happened in the secret realm. He expected that the other factions would not let it go, so he transferred the sect ahead of time, so that all factions I missed it.
Several people asked clearly about the current location of the Blood Refining Gate and the situation inside the gate. He Jian knocked Song Li unconscious with the hilt of his sword, threw him into a corner to cover up his eyes, lit benzoin next to him, and said with a smile: "Senior brother and sister Don't worry, this person will never wake up within a month or two."
Gu Qinian looked at Yuan Hengzhi, "Brother Yuan, what should we do now?"
She originally wanted to play it safe. After all, there are high-level monks in the Blood Refining Sect, the best choice is to go back to the sect and report the matter to the sect, and the sect will handle it; but all the decisions along the way are Yuan Heng's. Now, among the four of them, he was vaguely the main one. At this time, Gu Qinian unconsciously asked his opinion.
Yuan Heng's thinking was different, and he was bolder: "We might as well go to the Blood Refining Gate to find out the truth, and then report back to the sect."
It is not surprising that he has such an idea. Although it cannot be seen on the surface, Yuan Hengzhi is indeed an ambitious person. If you make a contribution to this matter, then among Ling's generation, except for Han Su, no one can compare with Yuan Hengzhi.
And he wasn't so whimsical that he thought that the four foundation-building cultivators on his side would be able to defeat the Blood Refining Gate, but if he only explored the situation, although there were risks, it was worth the risk.
Liu Yingfeng actually didn't quite agree with it, but since Yuan Hengzhi had spoken, she couldn't object, so she could only acquiesce. Only He Jian had never thought of the mystery, and he was restless by nature. Zhizhi was very happy with his decision, and couldn't help rubbing his fists, waiting to make a big fuss.
They went back to the inn, agreed to visit the Blood Refining Gate tomorrow, and then went back to their rooms to meditate and rest.
In fact, there is one thing Yuan Hengzhi did not tell the other three people. He still has a way to save his life. If you come, you will be fine.
The four of them rested overnight, before dawn, they got up quietly, left silver taels on the counter, and went to Juhua Mountain.
I learned from Song Li that the Blood Refining Sect is now hiding on Juhua Mountain. This Juhua Mountain is unknown in the cultivation world. Unexpectedly, there is a small spiritual vein hidden in it. As soon as the few people went up the mountain, they felt that. Compared with Tongcheng City, the aura is particularly strong.
Generally speaking, sects with a little background will set up a large formation around them, but after all, this is not the Qizhou where the Blood Refining Sect has been operating for several years. The infiltration of Yuan Heng's four people was much easier.
They wore invisibility talismans and barrier breath talismans, and entered quietly from the outside. How could those low-level disciples find out that they didn't alarm anyone along the way.
Going further inside, the houses and pavilions are obviously much more exquisite than the outer ones, and they must have arrived at the residence of the inner disciples.The four raised their vigilance and avoided many guards according to Song Li's description yesterday.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to turn around, Yuan Hengzhi suddenly paused, and there was actually another person on the other side of the corner.
Yuan Hengzhi didn't dare to be careless, pulled out the pure light, held his breath carefully, and turned around quickly, but the pure light under his hand trembled, and the blow that was originally sure was blocked.
This block also taught him to discover the real identity of the other party. Transsion sneered and said, "I really don't meet each other anywhere. I didn't expect to meet Shengzi Zhao here."
Zhao Lieyun put away the red-tasseled spear, "Brother Yuan Dao can be here, why can't I."
After the trial of the secret realm, almost no one in the five sects knew about the disagreement between these two people. If they were to confront each other in the Blood Refining Sect now, things would be troublesome.
Gu Qinian quickly smoothed things over: "This place is unusual, so I ask the two senior brothers to work together so that the matter can be resolved."
Zhao Lieyun was also passing through Tongcheng, and accidentally discovered the traces of the Blood Refining Gate. Now that the Blood Refining Gate has become the public enemy of all factions, he naturally wants to find out.
Both of them understand that the other is a great help now, so they can only put the unhappiness aside and tell what they know.
Not long after walking, the sound of things being overturned suddenly came from a pavilion, and the woman scolded: "Are these things people eat? How dare you bring them in front of me!"
The two of Gu and Liu almost exclaimed, and Yuan Hengzhi's complexion became ugly, because the female voice was quite familiar, it was Princess Rong An's voice!
魔君
But shouldn't Princess Rong An be in the capital, so how could she appear in the Blood Refining Gate now?
Yuan Heng's thoughts turned, and he suddenly remembered the words of the innkeeper in Tongcheng: "Little Liu, the clerk in the small shop, went shopping on the street two days ago, and when he came back and passed an alley, he saw a beautiful girl in red. In the blink of an eye, it was swept away by a black wind."
Gu Qinian obviously thought of something with him, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that the woman in red that the shopkeeper said was taken away is Princess Rong An?"
"I'm afraid that's the case." Yuan Heng was restless. Originally, he didn't want to save those women who were taken away. Judging from the situation in Xiaohan Mountain's secret realm, those women were most likely to have their blood drawn to death. Some of the surviving ones would scare the snakes and the high-ranking monks in the Blood Refining Sect after saving them.
It's just that he didn't expect Princess Rong An to be here. Although Yuan Hengzhi doesn't like her, as a man, it's hard for him to watch the woman who admires him die indifferently, and so does he, so he's caught in a dilemma.
He was irritable in his heart, and naturally there was something on his face. When Zhao Lieyun caught a glimpse, he immediately sarcastically said: "It seems that the girl inside has a very close relationship with Brother Yuan Dao."
Yuan Hengzhi didn't have the time to care about this trivial sarcasm now, he just twisted his brows into the word "Chuan", hesitating.
He Jian also looked at him and asked, "Brother Yuan, what should we do now?"
Yuan Heng was silent for a while, after all, he was not cruel enough to watch Rong An die, so he made a decision immediately: "First save the princess."
He Jian, Gu Qinian and Liu Yingfeng naturally wouldn't have any objections, but Zhao Lieyun didn't think so. Yuan Hengzhi actually planned to give up such a good opportunity because of a mortal woman. If they were the only one, Zhao Lieyun wouldn't care. It doesn't matter how they struggle, but now that I am here, once the four of Shang Xuanzong are discovered and the Blood Refining Sect is on alert, I will not be able to protect myself from it alone.
Yuan Hengzhi saw what he was thinking, "If Shengzi Zhao doesn't want to, he can leave on his own, and we will never stop him."
He said it was easy, but he expected that Zhao Lieyun and them were already on the same boat at this time. If the boat was destroyed, no one would be left behind. No matter how angry the other party was, they would have to continue.
Sure enough, although Zhao Lieyun couldn't hide his anger, he still acquiesced to his decision.
Now that a decision has been made, the people are not in the mood to look forward and backward, so they cover each other and sneak into the pavilion.
After entering, I saw Princess Rong An, and there were seven or eight pale women sitting in the corner behind her, their expressions were full of fear, and they gathered together tremblingly.
Although Rong An was a little haggard, he seemed to be in good spirits, pointing at a person and shouting loudly: "I am the majestic Princess Dayan, how dare you imprison me here, when my brother finds out, you will be crushed Ten thousand pieces of corpse!"
The man she pointed at was tall and thin, dressed as a disciple of the Blood Refining Sect, and sneered disdainfully: "So what if you are a princess? Even if the emperor of the mortal world comes here, he will be slaughtered by me. Do you still want to play the princess' music score?"
His gaze swept over Rong An, who was in a mess of hairpins, and a hint of obscenity suddenly appeared on his face: "Although you have a bad temper, you young lady does have a beautiful appearance. Anyway, you are a person who is going to die. Why don't you let me die before you die?" Have fun, and I'll leave you a whole body too."
After finishing speaking, he laughed "hehe" twice, rubbed his hands together, and walked towards Rong'an. The women in the corner screamed in horror. There was a whining sound.
Rong An suppressed his fear, and when the man approached, he slapped him down. Although his wrist was clamped halfway, the long nails still left a bloodstain on the man's face.
The man was furious, and threw Rong An to the ground, his face extremely sullen: "I'll show you some face, you've really put on airs. If I don't teach you a lesson today, I've practiced so much in vain Year."
After finishing speaking, she pressed onto Rong An's body, and with a pull of her hands, she wanted to tear off her skirt.
Rong An kicked and bit, and resisted desperately, but the other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so she was the one who resisted, but was slapped hard on the face, half of her cheeks were swollen immediately, and her mouth was swollen. Full of gore.
The man tore off her coat, and put his disgusting hands into it. Rong An was in despair, tears slowly rolled down the corners of her eyes. For the first time, she regretted why she ran out of the palace secretly.
Just when she had become numb to the biting of the person on her body, the blood mist that exploded suddenly splashed her head and face, all movements stopped, and the body above fell to the side without a sound.
Rong An's eyes widened, and for a moment she suspected that in a dream, the person she was thinking of actually appeared and saved her. She was so nervous that she didn't even dare to blink, for fear that if she closed her eyes, she would return to the terrible nightmare just now.
Yuan Hengzhi wiped off the blood on the sword, and said in a low voice: "Princess, I'm fine now."
Rong An woke up like a dream, and all the fear she suppressed just now burst out in an instant. Regardless of her disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, she threw herself into Yuan Heng's arms, crying and beating him again and again: "Why don't you I just came, do you know that I'm going to be scared to death?"
Yuan Hengzhi silently let her beat her, while the other four looked at this scene with complicated expressions.
The disciple of the Blood Refining Sect is at the late stage of foundation establishment, while on the other side are five disciples at the early stage of foundation establishment.
Speaking of rising, Xiao Zhuo ordered the palace people to hold a banquet in the imperial garden. It was golden autumn, the season of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, and the special sweet-scented osmanthus brewing in the palace was also presented.
Xiao Zhuo said with a smile: "This sweet-scented osmanthus brew is sweet and mellow, and its stamina is not very strong. You might as well drink a few more cups."
When the four of them tasted it, it was really good wine, even a cultivator who didn't have a strong appetite couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.Halfway through the drink, Yuan Hengzhi suddenly remembered the matter of Qing Xiao's drunkenness in the past.
Xiao Zhuo happened to see it and asked, "But what's wrong with this wine?"
Yuan Hengzhi paused his fingers, convulsed a few times, and then shook his head as a cover-up: "There is nothing unusual about this wine, I just remembered that Hengzhi has been away from the sect for a long time, but as a disciple, he can't serve the master. I can’t help but feel ashamed.”
"Oh?" Xiao Zhuo said, "Master Xiang must be a man of noble conduct and profound Taoism."
The national teacher has been by the side all the time, and when he heard Xiao Zhuo's words, his face revealed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty doesn't know that in the past, the old Taoist had the honor to meet Yuan Daoyou's teacher Qingxiao Zhenjun, and the real gentleman's demeanor, I still don’t forget it, but there is no other person who can compare to him.”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhuo couldn't help being fascinated: "The national teacher said so, but I am also curious."
Yuan Hengzhi concealed his strange expression and regained his usual calmness: "I'm afraid your majesty will be disappointed. The family teacher has always lived in secluded places, and your majesty is sitting in the Dragon Court. Adding up the two together, I'm afraid it won't be easy to see."
He turned to the national teacher again and asked, "I wonder when the national teacher met the family teacher?"
The other three people also felt a little curious, that is, as nephews, they had never met Qing Xiao a few times since they started, and now this old man with ordinary background and mediocre qualifications in their eyes actually said that they had met once, how could they not let them surprise.
The national teacher said with a smile: "Although the cultivation bases of the few are extraordinary, they are still young after all, and it is normal that they don't know much about the affairs of the previous generation."
He stroked his long beard, and his eyes showed fascination: "More than 200 years ago, the old Taoist followed his master to the secret place of Xiaohan Mountain to participate in the trial, and he was lucky to meet the real king. At that time, the disciples of the five schools gathered together. What a grand occasion, among them There are no ordinary people who are outstanding, but even so, the only one who can be compared with the true emperor is the Wen Xing Zhenjun of the Tianwei Sect. These two are called the Xuanmen Shuangbi, and they are the most amazing and brilliant figures in the cultivation world for thousands of years. Everyone in this generation of veterans really knows about it.
He Jian, Gu Qinian, and Liu Yingfeng were fascinated by hearing this, and couldn't help but outline the grand occasion of the past in their hearts, but Yuan Hengzhi quietly clenched his fists, feeling uneasy, why would Wen Xing's name appear in the same place as his master? When others talk about it, they all feel that the beautiful jade is shining, intimate and harmonious, but I can only appear incidentally, as if the master is an unreachable moon in the sky.
Thinking of it this way, the jealousy that grew out of him was like a vine tightly strangling his heart, it was so sour that it was hard to describe.
It's just that he is quite a man of the city after all, what he thinks in his heart doesn't show at all on the surface, he chats and laughs with everyone, and after a meal, on the surface, the host and guest enjoy themselves, without any displeasure.
Xiao Zhuo took advantage of the opportunity to invite the four of them to stay and play, and there was no urgent matter, so the four readily agreed.
During this period, Princess Rong An came to provoke him several times, but she recognized Yuan Hengzhi and used all her troublesome efforts.Yuan Hengzhi didn't want to argue with her, so he simply ignored her and treated her indifferently, but Rong An didn't care about it at all, and just grabbed him and wouldn't let him go.
Known daughter Mo Ruomu, the Queen Mother can see Princess Rong An's thoughts clearly.
The queen mother summoned Rong An and stared at her daughter carefully: "Tell the queen mother, did you fall in love with that primordial master?"
Rong An's face turned red when he heard it, and he said coquettishly, "What are you talking about, queen mother, how can my daughter like such a cold and hard rock?"
When the Queen Mother saw Rong An's expression, she understood most of it in her heart. The men her daughter had seen since she was a child were all obedient to her, but now a man who didn't buy it suddenly came, with a handsome appearance, like Rong An. The girl couldn't resist the most, so she poured all her emotions into it.
"Listen to what the queen mother said." Although the queen mother is the most noble woman in the world, she is also a mother who is deeply worried about her daughter. "There must be no result between you and that fairy teacher." , he is a person cultivating immortals, and he will live forever in the future. Although you are a princess, you are just an ordinary girl in their eyes. What's more, a woman's face is short, and when you grow old in the future, he will still be the same, and you How should you deal with yourself? It’s better to stop thinking about it now and find a son of a noble family in Beijing, he will treat you like a pearl and treasure, and dare not bear you.”
Rong An's bright red cheeks turned pale following the Queen Mother's words, and now she couldn't care less about the girl's reserve, and looked at her mother stubbornly, with tears in her eyes: "But I just like him! I am the only one of those obedient families. I don't like it either, so what if they are being held up by them in Beijing? If you can't be with the person you like, what's the point of your daughter's life!"
The Empress Dowager saw the daughter crying like this in her palm, her heart softened a lot, but she is someone who has experienced the ups and downs of the court, so she wouldn't change her mind just like that, stroked Rong An's black hair, and sighed: " If you like him, what if he doesn't like you?"
There were still tears on Rong An's face, but he was stunned on the spot after hearing this, unable to utter a word.
Does Yuan Hengzhi like her?
The answer to this question is that Rong An himself knows very well that no man can be so indifferent when facing the person he admires, like a stone that can never be warmed.
But Rong An refused to give up. From childhood to adulthood, as long as it was something he wanted, no matter how he started, he would definitely get it in the end, and this time was no exception.
For a man, if a girl with a noble status and a beautiful face expresses her heart to him desperately, even if she has no intention of doing so at first, she will feel pity in the end, and she cannot bear to refuse.
Rong An couldn't hold back his thoughts anymore, and rushed out of the hall in a hurry: "Queen Mother, I'll ask him to find out!"
The queen mother got angry in a hurry, and quickly ordered the guards to stop Rong An, but the guards also knew that the princess was the queen mother's heart, so how dare they really stop her.
The Empress Dowager felt her temples throbbing, and said in a trembling voice: "The Ai family can't control this girl now, hurry up and ask the emperor to deal with this matter!"
After finishing speaking, the whole person fell down on the couch, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.
scheduled
When Rong An found Yuan Heng, he was admiring the flowers with his younger brother and younger sister, and they were very close to Gu Qinian. The two stood together, one handsome and tall, the other beautiful and beautiful, they looked really like Bi people, and they matched in every possible way. .
Especially Yuan Hengzhi still had a gentle smile on his face, completely different from the cold look in front of him.Rong An was furious, and regardless of his status, he stepped forward and pushed Gu Qinian away.
It's just that she forgot that Gu Qinian was not those fragile and charming ladies in the capital, but a real foundation-building cultivator. She, a mortal, couldn't push her, but her wrist was locked and she couldn't break free.
When I raised my eyes, I caught a glimpse of Yuan Hengzhi's icy face: "I think you are a woman, so you are patient and don't care about it. I didn't expect you to go too far, and you want to do something to my junior sister for no reason. It's too deceiving!"
When Rong An heard that the person he admired defended another woman in such a way, he was already on the verge of jealousy, and when he saw Gu Qinian standing aside, he looked over with disdain, but he didn't know how to laugh at himself in his heart. Staring at Gu Qinian, his eyes almost burst into flames.
It's just that Rong An thought of his purpose here, forced himself to suppress his anger, and grabbed Yuan Heng's cuff: "Come with me, I have something to tell you."
Unexpectedly, Yuan Hengzhi didn't spare any sympathy, pulled out his cuffs, and said coldly: "If the princess has anything to say, please say it here, there is a difference between you and me, if you go somewhere else alone, it will damage the princess's reputation." .”
He seemed to be thinking of Rong An in his words, but even a blind man could hear the unequivocal refusal, which made Rong An stomp his feet in anger.Although she has a hot temper, she is still a daughter after all, how can she express her feelings in front of others? On the one hand, she was annoyed by Yuan Hengzhi's incomprehensible style, and on the other hand, she blamed it on Gu Qinian. It is the biggest obstacle blocking oneself.
Gu Qinian looks gentle and demure on the outside, but in fact he is not the one to be bullied. Seeing that Rong An was annoyed, she lightly supported the Ziyun Liuli hairpin in her bun with her bare hands, and said casually: "If the princess is upright in her heart, why can't she be here?" Chu Ming said, but you still want to find that secluded place?"
This attitude of looking down from above completely angered Rong An. For a moment, she completely forgot about her reservedness as a royal princess, and stared at Yuan Hengzhi with bright eyes without blinking: "I like you, I want You are my son-in-law."
The other four people were stunned immediately, Gu Qinian's hand rested on the hairpin, not knowing whether to continue or let it go.
He Jian was the one who reacted the quickest. He approached Liu Yingfeng and whispered: "Senior Sister Liu, I only heard that mortal women are the most gentle and virtuous, but I didn't expect this princess to be more gentle than our female cultivators in the cultivation world." Bolder."
Before Liu Yingfeng could reply, she heard a deep and angry shout: "Rong An, have you had enough trouble!"
It was Xiao Zhuo who hurried over with a group of guards.
Xiao Zhuo was really angry at this moment. Although he usually dotes on this younger sister, once Rong An's behavior threatens the stability of the royal family, he will never be soft-hearted.
In fact, Xiao Zhuo also had such an idea in the beginning, if Rong An could get Yuan Heng's favor and use it to get closer to Shang Xuanzong, it would indeed be a harmless thing; but Yuan Hengzhi obviously had no intention of Rong An, In such a situation, if you continue to entangle them blindly, you will not only lose face, but also arouse the other party's resentment, and even the original friendship may be in vain.
Xiao Zhuo would not be afraid if he just had a bad relationship with Yuan Heng and others, but behind them was the giant Shang Xuanzong, and the one who suffered in the end must be the Dayan royal family.
Rong An's nonsense almost made all his plans come to nothing, how could Xiao Zhuo not be angry, so he sternly reprimanded his sister.
Rong An has always been afraid of his own Xiao Zhuo, but at this moment, he didn't know where the courage came from. He ignored his frightening elder brother, and only looked at Yuan Hengzhi persistently: "I just want to know whether you are willing or not."
Xiao Zhuo was extremely angry. Since he took the throne ten years ago, no one dared to defy him so blatantly. Unexpectedly, it was Rong An who set a precedent. At that moment, the last trace of concern disappeared, and he waved his palm fiercely.
With the crisp sound of "啪——", half of Rong An's cheeks swelled instantly, and the guards at the side also imprisoned Rong An under Xiao Zhuo's signal, and were about to take her down.
Xiao Zhuo suppressed his anger, and said to Yuan Hengzhi: "Little sister is really stubborn, and now I have caused so much trouble for Brother Yuan. As the elder brother, I will make amends on my behalf. Please don't take it to heart."
Yuan Heng's expression was complicated, and he replied: "Your Majesty is serious."
Rong An's cry came from beside his ears: "Brother Huang, let them let me go!"
Xiao Zhuo turned around suddenly, and said: "Let go of what are you doing? Continue to embarrass the royal family!"
Rong An still didn't give up: "Yuan Hengzhi, answer me! I just want to hear your answer with my own ears!"
The young man was imperceptibly silent for a moment, and then he said calmly: "Princess loves me so much, Heng Zhi is ashamed not to be worthy of it." Although the words were euphemistic, the meaning was clear, leaving no trace of hope for Rong An.
At this time, there was no sound in the imperial garden, only Rong An's mournful cries did not want to dissipate.
After a while, Yuan Hengzhi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down, the princess just couldn't figure it out for a while, as long as Your Majesty persuades her more, she will naturally be relieved."
Xiao Zhuo responded, he had restrained his anger at this time, his face was gloomy, and he couldn't peek out the thoughts in his heart.
Gu Qinian is also full of mixed feelings. She has always disliked Rong An's savagery, and thinks that this girl is useless except for her looks. However, after experiencing the incident just now, most of the bad feelings in her heart have dissipated. This is not because of a woman's natural pity, but because if she In the same situation, I never have the courage to express my thoughts and desires so straightforwardly.
This kind of thinking is not just Gu Qinian's, He Jian also murmured: "Now I don't hate her so much."
After such a thing happened, the four of them naturally couldn't stay in the palace, and they were about to leave immediately, but Xiao Zhuo tried to persuade them to stay, saying that if they left now, people in the world would laugh at the royal family's poor hospitality, the four of them Only then did he agree to stay one more night and leave after dawn tomorrow.
The next day, after the four of them left, Xiao Zhuo was reviewing the memorial in the hall when a guard came in and said in panic, "Your Majesty, Princess Rong An is gone!"
Xiao Zhuo stood up abruptly, and said in a deep voice, "Quickly invite the national teacher to come here!"
The members of the royal family were all given secret methods, and the national teacher could find their location for safety.Xiao Zhuoping looked at the state teacher's divination, and finally heard the conclusion: "The princess is going to the north!"
A terrible cloud formed between Emperor Yan's brows: "Come here, recover the princess for me. If there is any resistance, I will only save my life."
The national teacher didn't want him to say these words, shook his hands, and the tortoise shell used for divination in his palm rolled to the ground, and as soon as he picked it up, he saw Xiao Zhuo's savage gaze: "The national teacher is a smart man You don't need me to remind you, you will naturally understand what to say and what not to say in front of the Empress Dowager."
The national teacher didn't dare to talk too much, and hurriedly retreated while holding the tortoise shell.
On the other hand, after the four of Yuan Hengzhi left the capital, they traveled north. They had nothing to do, so the trip was quite relaxed, and they were not in a hurry. They walked along the way and came to a famous A small place called Tongcheng.
As soon as they entered Tongcheng, the four of them noticed something unusual. They couldn't see a woman in the city at a glance, and even those men's faces showed more or less worried expressions.
When he found the inn, the shopkeeper saw Gu Qinian and Liu Yingfeng, and only said: "I advise everyone to leave Tongcheng as soon as possible after tonight, it's really dangerous for the two girls to be here."
This is very strange, ordinary shopkeepers are naturally willing to let their guests stay as long as possible, there must be some abnormalities in it to persuade people to leave early before staying in the store.
The four hurriedly asked the reason, and the shopkeeper sighed and said, "I don't know. Recently, strange things happened in Tongcheng, and young women disappeared one after another. Even if the government dispatched a large number of arresters, they found nothing. Everyone said that they were taken by the mountain god to be a pawn." You have come from other places, you must have seen the scene in the city, where there are still women who dare to go out, all of them are hidden at home by parents and brothers."
Seeing that Yuan Hengzhi and the others seemed to be suspicious, he rushed over and lowered his voice: "You guys, don't believe me, someone witnessed this with their own eyes. The guy in the shop, Xiao Liuzi, went shopping on the street two days ago. When he came back and passed an alley, he saw a beautiful girl in red who was swept away by a black wind in the blink of an eye. Xiao Liuzi was so frightened that even the vegetables were still on the ground, and he ran back in a hurry. I was scolded for this.”
The shopkeeper sighed and said: "It's a pity for that girl, she is young and beautiful, and her life or death is unknown. So you should listen to my advice and leave early."
The four of them didn't take it seriously at first, they only thought it was a mortal pretending to be a ghost, but when they heard the black wind appearing out of nowhere, they couldn't help but look serious, they were afraid that the disappearance of the woman in red was inseparably related to the monks.
After entering the guest room, Liu Yingfeng first asked: "Brother Yuan, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the magic cultivator, so what should we do?"
Yuan Hengzhi thought for a while, and said: "As members of the Shangxuan sect, we naturally cannot just sit idly by when encountering such things. Now I do have an idea, I wonder if Junior Brother He and the two Junior Sisters would like to hear it?"
The three of them agreed, so they heard Yuan Hengzhi say, "Why don't we lure the snake out of the hole and go to the most prosperous place in the city tomorrow to play, and now all the women in the city are hiding at home. After the existence of this junior sister, we will definitely attack again, and then we can follow the clues and investigate the matter clearly. It’s just that Gu Shimei and Liu Shimei are probably in danger, but I am an incompetent senior brother.”
Gu Qinian smiled sweetly and said: "Senior brother, why did you say that, tomorrow's actions all depend on senior brother's ingenious plan, besides, this is to prevent demon cultivators from harming mortals, it should be my duty with Junior Sister Liu."
The four of them immediately made a plan and only waited for tomorrow to act according to the plan.
寻踪
The next day, the four of them got up early and went to those tailor shops and jewelry stores, pretending to be Gu Qinian and Liu Yingfeng choosing clothes. Everyone in the shop knew that there were two pretty girls from other places.
By the afternoon, the four of them had already noticed a hidden spiritual consciousness sweeping back and forth, and they were still buying various items as if they didn't know it.
Before they came out of the inn, they had already restrained their spiritual power and pretended to be ordinary people. The person in the dark obviously hadn't noticed any abnormalities, and not long after, they locked their spiritual consciousness on Gu Liu and the two of them. It seemed that they were planning to make a move.
The four of them exchanged glances calmly, with an unaware expression still on their faces. After a cup of tea, they pretended to be returning home exhausted, and returned to the inn with a bunch of things.
The spiritual sense seemed to hesitate for a moment, then let go of his scruples, and followed several people from far and near.
After walking for half a moment, the four of them flashed and turned into an alley, and the spiritual consciousness hurriedly followed in.There was no one in the alley, and the four of them seemed to be unaware of the danger that was close at hand, talking and laughing unaware, like lambs being slaughtered, and could no longer escape his palm.
The person in the dark couldn't help but feel complacent. These two women are quite pure in physique, and they are the best blood guides in the formation. If they are caught in the sect, he will definitely be rewarded. If the plan in the sect succeeds, it will be It is also very possible to reward yourself with a Foundation Establishment Pill.
When he succeeds in building his foundation, there is no need to do such drudgery, and he will be a bit of a bird from time to time.
He was fascinated by that fantasy, and even lost his initial caution, he hurriedly opened an air bag, and released a black wind from the bag, attacking Gu Qinian and Liu Yingfeng like a flexible long snake.
He fully thought that catching those two delicate girls would be an easy task. Who would have thought that the handsome and tall young man next to him drew out his long sword and drew a sharp sword light, and the black wind would be cut in half, instantly dissipated in the air.
The man turned pale with fright, he couldn't believe his eyes, the air bag was a magic weapon bestowed by the elders in the door, it was extremely powerful, with that black wind he caught dozens of women in Tongcheng, and he never missed, dreaming He didn't expect to be cut off by the sword of the noble-like young man.
Even the magic weapon bestowed by the elder didn't work, and of course he wasn't an opponent, the man turned around and ran away, but it was already too late, Gu Qinian said coldly: "I want to run, but it's not that easy!"
She shook her plain hand, and a water-colored long silk flew out suddenly, a gap was suddenly torn in mid-air, and a person fell from it, who was tied tightly by the long silk.
Only then did the man realize that he had misread, these people were not lambs waiting to be slaughtered, they were clearly tigers with their sharp claws hidden!Immediately, all fantasies were gone, and he begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Fellow Taoists, spare your lives! I was only instigated by someone, so I was confused and attacked you for a while."
Yuan Hengzhi and the others didn't expect that before the interrogation started, this person would confide the matter in one go, feeling rather dumbfounded.In fact, it's no wonder that this person was not taken seriously in the sect, so he was assigned the drudgery of catching people. Now that he is in danger, he naturally won't have any loyalty. Say it all to save your life.
He Jian put the long sword around the man's neck and drank: "As long as you tell everything you know, we are not indiscriminate killers, so naturally we won't take your life; but if we let you If you find out that you have lied, then you don't need to keep this thing around your neck anymore!"
The cold air from the sword's edge penetrated through the skin without hindrance, and the man trembled in fright, "Just ask, I'll tell you everything!"
Liu Yingfeng said: "Well, let me tell you first, what is your name, which sect are you from, and why did you arrest those girls?"
The man swallowed his saliva, "I, my name is Song Li, and I'm under the Xuelian sect. The elders of the sect ordered those women to be arrested. It is said that they are going to practice some kind of grand formation."
Blood Refining Gate!The four of them looked at each other in shock, all they thought of was the turmoil in the secret realm of Xiaohan Mountain.
He Jian moved the tip of the sword a few minutes closer, and drew a thin bloodstain on Song Li's neck: "What else do you know, tell me everything, or don't blame the sword for being ruthless!"
Song Li felt the warm liquid on his neck, and he was so frightened that he burst into tears, "I'm just a low-level disciple, I've already told you everything I know, I really don't know anything else!"
With a clear mind, Liu Yingfeng asked, "Isn't the Blood Refining Gate originally in Qizhou, why is it now in Tongcheng?"
Hearing this, Yuan Hengzhi glanced at her appreciatively. This was exactly the question he wanted to ask. At the beginning, all the sects fought against the Blood Refining Sect together, but found that the other party had already moved away. Now maybe they can clarify the doubts.
Song Li didn't dare to hide it, and said hastily: "I know! About two or three months ago, the door suddenly sent an order, saying that there was a big enemy coming, and ordered us to pack up and follow the door to Tongcheng. Many people were dissatisfied, we had a good stay in Qizhou, why did we bother to come to this small place like Tongcheng, but the order was delivered by Senior Brother He, the direct disciple of the sect master, and whoever dared not to listen, followed to Tongcheng."
After listening to Song Li's words, Yuan Hengzhi described to him the appearance of the man surnamed He in the Xiaohan Mountain secret realm: "Is this the senior brother you are talking about?"
"That's right," Song Li shrank his neck, "That's exactly Senior Brother He Yuanhe, the only apprentice of our sect master."
In this way, things made sense. It must be that He Yuan fled back and told the Blood Slaughter Demon Lord what happened in the secret realm. He expected that the other factions would not let it go, so he transferred the sect ahead of time, so that all factions I missed it.
Several people asked clearly about the current location of the Blood Refining Gate and the situation inside the gate. He Jian knocked Song Li unconscious with the hilt of his sword, threw him into a corner to cover up his eyes, lit benzoin next to him, and said with a smile: "Senior brother and sister Don't worry, this person will never wake up within a month or two."
Gu Qinian looked at Yuan Hengzhi, "Brother Yuan, what should we do now?"
She originally wanted to play it safe. After all, there are high-level monks in the Blood Refining Sect, the best choice is to go back to the sect and report the matter to the sect, and the sect will handle it; but all the decisions along the way are Yuan Heng's. Now, among the four of them, he was vaguely the main one. At this time, Gu Qinian unconsciously asked his opinion.
Yuan Heng's thinking was different, and he was bolder: "We might as well go to the Blood Refining Gate to find out the truth, and then report back to the sect."
It is not surprising that he has such an idea. Although it cannot be seen on the surface, Yuan Hengzhi is indeed an ambitious person. If you make a contribution to this matter, then among Ling's generation, except for Han Su, no one can compare with Yuan Hengzhi.
And he wasn't so whimsical that he thought that the four foundation-building cultivators on his side would be able to defeat the Blood Refining Gate, but if he only explored the situation, although there were risks, it was worth the risk.
Liu Yingfeng actually didn't quite agree with it, but since Yuan Hengzhi had spoken, she couldn't object, so she could only acquiesce. Only He Jian had never thought of the mystery, and he was restless by nature. Zhizhi was very happy with his decision, and couldn't help rubbing his fists, waiting to make a big fuss.
They went back to the inn, agreed to visit the Blood Refining Gate tomorrow, and then went back to their rooms to meditate and rest.
In fact, there is one thing Yuan Hengzhi did not tell the other three people. He still has a way to save his life. If you come, you will be fine.
The four of them rested overnight, before dawn, they got up quietly, left silver taels on the counter, and went to Juhua Mountain.
I learned from Song Li that the Blood Refining Sect is now hiding on Juhua Mountain. This Juhua Mountain is unknown in the cultivation world. Unexpectedly, there is a small spiritual vein hidden in it. As soon as the few people went up the mountain, they felt that. Compared with Tongcheng City, the aura is particularly strong.
Generally speaking, sects with a little background will set up a large formation around them, but after all, this is not the Qizhou where the Blood Refining Sect has been operating for several years. The infiltration of Yuan Heng's four people was much easier.
They wore invisibility talismans and barrier breath talismans, and entered quietly from the outside. How could those low-level disciples find out that they didn't alarm anyone along the way.
Going further inside, the houses and pavilions are obviously much more exquisite than the outer ones, and they must have arrived at the residence of the inner disciples.The four raised their vigilance and avoided many guards according to Song Li's description yesterday.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to turn around, Yuan Hengzhi suddenly paused, and there was actually another person on the other side of the corner.
Yuan Hengzhi didn't dare to be careless, pulled out the pure light, held his breath carefully, and turned around quickly, but the pure light under his hand trembled, and the blow that was originally sure was blocked.
This block also taught him to discover the real identity of the other party. Transsion sneered and said, "I really don't meet each other anywhere. I didn't expect to meet Shengzi Zhao here."
Zhao Lieyun put away the red-tasseled spear, "Brother Yuan Dao can be here, why can't I."
After the trial of the secret realm, almost no one in the five sects knew about the disagreement between these two people. If they were to confront each other in the Blood Refining Sect now, things would be troublesome.
Gu Qinian quickly smoothed things over: "This place is unusual, so I ask the two senior brothers to work together so that the matter can be resolved."
Zhao Lieyun was also passing through Tongcheng, and accidentally discovered the traces of the Blood Refining Gate. Now that the Blood Refining Gate has become the public enemy of all factions, he naturally wants to find out.
Both of them understand that the other is a great help now, so they can only put the unhappiness aside and tell what they know.
Not long after walking, the sound of things being overturned suddenly came from a pavilion, and the woman scolded: "Are these things people eat? How dare you bring them in front of me!"
The two of Gu and Liu almost exclaimed, and Yuan Hengzhi's complexion became ugly, because the female voice was quite familiar, it was Princess Rong An's voice!
魔君
But shouldn't Princess Rong An be in the capital, so how could she appear in the Blood Refining Gate now?
Yuan Heng's thoughts turned, and he suddenly remembered the words of the innkeeper in Tongcheng: "Little Liu, the clerk in the small shop, went shopping on the street two days ago, and when he came back and passed an alley, he saw a beautiful girl in red. In the blink of an eye, it was swept away by a black wind."
Gu Qinian obviously thought of something with him, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that the woman in red that the shopkeeper said was taken away is Princess Rong An?"
"I'm afraid that's the case." Yuan Heng was restless. Originally, he didn't want to save those women who were taken away. Judging from the situation in Xiaohan Mountain's secret realm, those women were most likely to have their blood drawn to death. Some of the surviving ones would scare the snakes and the high-ranking monks in the Blood Refining Sect after saving them.
It's just that he didn't expect Princess Rong An to be here. Although Yuan Hengzhi doesn't like her, as a man, it's hard for him to watch the woman who admires him die indifferently, and so does he, so he's caught in a dilemma.
He was irritable in his heart, and naturally there was something on his face. When Zhao Lieyun caught a glimpse, he immediately sarcastically said: "It seems that the girl inside has a very close relationship with Brother Yuan Dao."
Yuan Hengzhi didn't have the time to care about this trivial sarcasm now, he just twisted his brows into the word "Chuan", hesitating.
He Jian also looked at him and asked, "Brother Yuan, what should we do now?"
Yuan Heng was silent for a while, after all, he was not cruel enough to watch Rong An die, so he made a decision immediately: "First save the princess."
He Jian, Gu Qinian and Liu Yingfeng naturally wouldn't have any objections, but Zhao Lieyun didn't think so. Yuan Hengzhi actually planned to give up such a good opportunity because of a mortal woman. If they were the only one, Zhao Lieyun wouldn't care. It doesn't matter how they struggle, but now that I am here, once the four of Shang Xuanzong are discovered and the Blood Refining Sect is on alert, I will not be able to protect myself from it alone.
Yuan Hengzhi saw what he was thinking, "If Shengzi Zhao doesn't want to, he can leave on his own, and we will never stop him."
He said it was easy, but he expected that Zhao Lieyun and them were already on the same boat at this time. If the boat was destroyed, no one would be left behind. No matter how angry the other party was, they would have to continue.
Sure enough, although Zhao Lieyun couldn't hide his anger, he still acquiesced to his decision.
Now that a decision has been made, the people are not in the mood to look forward and backward, so they cover each other and sneak into the pavilion.
After entering, I saw Princess Rong An, and there were seven or eight pale women sitting in the corner behind her, their expressions were full of fear, and they gathered together tremblingly.
Although Rong An was a little haggard, he seemed to be in good spirits, pointing at a person and shouting loudly: "I am the majestic Princess Dayan, how dare you imprison me here, when my brother finds out, you will be crushed Ten thousand pieces of corpse!"
The man she pointed at was tall and thin, dressed as a disciple of the Blood Refining Sect, and sneered disdainfully: "So what if you are a princess? Even if the emperor of the mortal world comes here, he will be slaughtered by me. Do you still want to play the princess' music score?"
His gaze swept over Rong An, who was in a mess of hairpins, and a hint of obscenity suddenly appeared on his face: "Although you have a bad temper, you young lady does have a beautiful appearance. Anyway, you are a person who is going to die. Why don't you let me die before you die?" Have fun, and I'll leave you a whole body too."
After finishing speaking, he laughed "hehe" twice, rubbed his hands together, and walked towards Rong'an. The women in the corner screamed in horror. There was a whining sound.
Rong An suppressed his fear, and when the man approached, he slapped him down. Although his wrist was clamped halfway, the long nails still left a bloodstain on the man's face.
The man was furious, and threw Rong An to the ground, his face extremely sullen: "I'll show you some face, you've really put on airs. If I don't teach you a lesson today, I've practiced so much in vain Year."
After finishing speaking, she pressed onto Rong An's body, and with a pull of her hands, she wanted to tear off her skirt.
Rong An kicked and bit, and resisted desperately, but the other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so she was the one who resisted, but was slapped hard on the face, half of her cheeks were swollen immediately, and her mouth was swollen. Full of gore.
The man tore off her coat, and put his disgusting hands into it. Rong An was in despair, tears slowly rolled down the corners of her eyes. For the first time, she regretted why she ran out of the palace secretly.
Just when she had become numb to the biting of the person on her body, the blood mist that exploded suddenly splashed her head and face, all movements stopped, and the body above fell to the side without a sound.
Rong An's eyes widened, and for a moment she suspected that in a dream, the person she was thinking of actually appeared and saved her. She was so nervous that she didn't even dare to blink, for fear that if she closed her eyes, she would return to the terrible nightmare just now.
Yuan Hengzhi wiped off the blood on the sword, and said in a low voice: "Princess, I'm fine now."
Rong An woke up like a dream, and all the fear she suppressed just now burst out in an instant. Regardless of her disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, she threw herself into Yuan Heng's arms, crying and beating him again and again: "Why don't you I just came, do you know that I'm going to be scared to death?"
Yuan Hengzhi silently let her beat her, while the other four looked at this scene with complicated expressions.
The disciple of the Blood Refining Sect is at the late stage of foundation establishment, while on the other side are five disciples at the early stage of foundation establishment.
