: villain disqualification

I don't know if it's because Ouyang Yun mentioned Lan Xichen repeatedly that Meng Yao couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning at night. After the other two fell asleep late at night, he finally couldn't help getting up and throwing off the quilt, and decided to go out to reveal the truth. breathable.

Meng Yao's heart was in a state of confusion, and she walked as she wished, and soon she saw a familiar figure in the distance, and upon closer inspection, it was Jin Chen.

Jin Chen was wearing a gold star snow wave robe, standing alone under the moonlight, practicing sword lightly, Xu was aware of being peeped, and the fairy sword in his hand flew towards the voyeur, Meng Yao hurriedly shook out her own from Qiankun sleeve Immortal sword received a sword, and the blade was handed over, and there was a crisp sound.

After Jin Chen's saber flew past, he recalled it to his hand, and only then did he see who was coming. A trace of surprise appeared on his cold face, and he said softly, "Mr. Lan?"

Meng Yao smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jin, I couldn't sleep, I went out for a walk, and bothered you."

Jin Chen said: "It's okay... I can't sleep either..."

Meng Yao smiled and understood that this Jin Chen was Jin Ling's nephew, and in the final analysis, he was also her relative. The Jin family's children were always delicate, and it was because they were not used to living in the wilderness, and it was reasonable for them to suffer from insomnia. middle.

Jin Chen said: "Since that's the case... Mr. Lan... did you use two tricks?"

Meng Yao thought for a while and said, "Okay."

Meng Yao was afraid of revealing his secrets, so he only dared to use the Lan family's swordsmanship throughout the whole process. He was light and elegant, and seemed powerless. After all, he was also a child of the Jin family, and he was very familiar with the Jin family's swordsmanship used by Jin Chen, so Jin Chen Every time he catches a tricky angle and thinks he can win with one blow, he cleverly dodges it. After dozens of moves, Jin Chen is slightly surprised.

In fact, the two had been classmates for a while when Yun Shen didn't know where they were, and they had fought against each other, but at that time, Lan and Mu were still the real Lan and Mu, with solid theoretical knowledge, mediocre spiritual power, and no actual combat experience. But Jin Chen is a brother of the younger generation of the Lanling Jin Sect, and he is not a direct descendant. He has worked hard since childhood and has a solid foundation, so Lan and Mu at that time were not his opponents.

Jin Chen said: "Mr. Lan... really, I will treat you with admiration for three days after farewell..."

Meng Yao was startled.

Jin Chen's eyes darkened, and when he turned around again, he drew his sword quickly and ruthlessly without mercy.

The children of the Lanling Jin Clan also had some ancestral pride, and they didn't care too much when they were competitive. When Lan Che raised his sword to defend Jin Chen from another lightning strike, he heard a "click", and the sword in his hand unexpectedly snapped For two, Meng Yao was so startled that she took two steps back and almost fell.

Jin Chen hastily withdrew his attack and hurriedly supported him.

"Young Master Lan... sorry..."

Meng Yao hurriedly waved her hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay...you made Mr. Jin laugh."

Jin Chen frowned, took the broken sword from Meng Yao's hand and looked at it a few times, with regret and embarrassment showing on his face.

In fact, Meng Yao was the one who should be embarrassed. He bought this fairy sword at Xianpin Pavilion after returning Lin Zhi to Lan Xichen.

Jin Chen said: "Mr. Lan...I...can you take it back to Lanling to repair it? Will it be returned to you after it's repaired?"

Meng Yao hurriedly said: "It's okay... Mr. Jin, it's not a good sword... I'll just buy another one."

Jin Chen seemed to remember something, and asked, "Sir Lan, why didn't you bring 'Lin Zhi' with you when you went out this time?"

Meng Yao was taken aback by the question. She didn't bother to explain too much, so she lied and said, "Linzhi...it was broken a little before, and it's still being repaired...it will take a while to fix it."

Jin Chen said: "Mr. Lan, have you ever heard of the name Yin Wuhuan?"

Meng Yao was stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said hastily: "Of course I've heard...the most famous swordsmith in the Taoist sect...the dragon never sees the end all the time, could it be...Brother Jin knows where he is ?”

Jin Chen pursed his lower lip slightly, his expression became softer, and he said, "Of course I know, this person is in Lanling..."

Meng Yao naturally understood what he meant, and hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "So, thank you Brother Jin for the introduction!"

……

Lanling, Dongshi.

After getting rid of the mountain charm, Jin Chen was in a hurry to take people back to Jinlin Terrace to report back, so he had to take Meng Yao and his party to find Yin Wuhuan. Take them to eat some local snacks and delicacies as a kindness of the landlord.

Li Ziran was very excited about this.

Meng Yao couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Ziran...is this the first time you've come to Lanling?"

One sentence made everyone startled. After a moment of silence, the Lanling Jin family couldn't help asking: "Mr. Lan... Listening to your tone, could it be that you have been to Lanling before?"

Meng Yao was stunned, and said with a smile: "Although I have never been here before, I am familiar with this place because my brothers often come and go and bring a lot of Lanling specialties."

Only then did everyone understand, and skip this issue.

At the same time at Jinlin Terrace, after Jin Chen finished reporting to Jin Ling, Jin Ling nodded appreciatively and said, "I heard the report before, and I know that the mountain charm is tricky and cunning, and it is quite difficult to deal with, so I thought about sending reinforcements." You didn't expect to get rid of it so smoothly, Ah Chen, you've made a lot of progress."

Jin Chen paused for a moment, not for one person to monopolize the merits, so he cupped his hands and said honestly: "It's not because of my strength alone, needless to say, all the brothers and sisters have helped each other, when I entered the mountain, I happened to meet the disciples of the Gusu Lan family... …It also helped a lot in this operation."

Jin Ling frowned and said, "The place where the mountain spirit haunts is the area under the jurisdiction of my Lanling Jin Sect... Gusu Lan Sect sent someone to help? Why have I never heard of it?"

Jin Chen was stunned and said: "I don't know, maybe the Gusu Lan clan sent someone here..."

Jin Ling asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Jin Chen said: "I just happened to meet... and the other party was not wearing Gusu Lan's uniform...so..."

Jin Ling was a little puzzled and said, "What do you mean? Who did you meet from the Lan family?"

Jin Chen thought about it for a moment, and still told him: "Back to the suzerain... When we entered the mountain, we happened to meet Lan and Mu Dairen, the disciples of Zewu Jun, the suzerain of the Gusu Lan clan, wandering in the mountains. I came here to search after the rumors."

Jin Ling sat in the first place and listened to Jin Chen kneel down. Hearing this, he suddenly stood up and said, "Who are you talking about?"

Jin Chen looked up at him in surprise, thought for a while and had to repeat: "The first disciple of the suzerain of the Gusu Lan clan... Lan and Mu."

Jin Ling hastily stepped forward, barely picking up Jin Chen's lapel, and said anxiously, "You said he... he was with you in the area under Lanling's jurisdiction?"

Jin Chen silently looked at the suzerain who had lost his composure, and then nodded dully after a long time.

Jin Ling said anxiously: "Then why didn't you report it to me earlier?!"

Jin Chen looked at him innocently and said, "The suzerain...has never ordered..."

Jin Ling got angry all of a sudden, and said angrily, "Do you have to ask me to do things? Not even a little cleverness!"

Jin Chen looked at him suddenly feeling aggrieved, his eyes sparkling with fluorescence.

Jin Ling was startled.

Jin Ling is not yet married and has no heirs, so he has carefully selected and cultivated the offspring of the Jin family over the years. Among them, Jin Chen is the one who is closest to him by blood and the one he favors the most. This child has always been strong-tempered. It was rare for him to be reprimanded so harshly by the suzerain. Seeing him like this, Jin Ling suddenly regretted it.

He slowed down, smoothed the folds on Jin Chen's front that he had picked up, and comforted him: "After all, that place is under my jurisdiction in Lanling... It is not a trivial matter for someone from a foreign race to come. Next time you encounter such a situation, report it in time Give me."

"Yes……"

Jin Ling saw that the gloomy expression between his brows was not slowing down, so he patted his shoulder lightly to express his comfort.

"Sovereign..." Jin Chen hesitated to speak.

Jin Ling frowned slightly and said, "But it's okay to say."

Jin Chen thought for a while and couldn't help it, so he said with a bang: "About Lan and Mu... I have heard a lot of rumors and speculations in the market, and some... are related to our Lanling."

Jin Ling paused and asked, "What?"

Jin Chen straightened up and said, "Many Taoist cultivators suspect...doubt...that he is the reincarnation of the former Immortal Governor..."

Jin Ling slightly widened his eyes and said, "Where did you hear such nonsense?!"

Jin Chen said: "There are rumors everywhere, they are true...after all Mr. Zewu...has a really different attitude towards this apprentice.

Since the death of our former suzerain, Mr. Zewu has retreated intermittently and ignored worldly affairs. The only thing he did that deserves attention is to accept this apprentice... I heard that the last time the Yinhu Talisman was destroyed, Gusu Lanshi and his It's better to save people than get rid of evil spirits... Mr. Zewu still saved his beloved apprentice from an arrow, and after saving people, he didn't even care about cleaning up the murderous corpses at the scene, so he took them away in a hurry .In the world... how can there be such a weird and ambiguous master-student relationship..."

It's not that Jin Ling has never heard of these rumors. In fact, he himself was extremely skeptical in the past, so he stalked Wei Ying and the others for many years, and now it has been confirmed that the facts are true.But at this moment, his hands hidden in his sleeves tightened slightly, and he scolded: "I don't want to hear any more groundless speculations like this!"

Jin Chen was startled, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Yes."

Seeing that his expression was slightly fatigued, Jin Ling took a deep breath, remained silent for a while, and explained: "This person Lan Xichen..." He suddenly thought about it, and now he is the master of his little uncle, and changed his words after a pause: "Mr. Zewu...you may not know him well when you are young...he...he has always been like this. He is gentle and courteous to ordinary people, but no matter how famous and elegant he is, he is still a man...after all, he is still human. , It’s not surprising that people who are closely related to you are confused for a while. Besides, the Gusu Lan family...you know, let alone blocked an arrow for your apprentice, it’s just an irrelevant innocent passerby. It is possible to block an arrow. The rumors about the former suzerain of our family... The Taoist schools have always been curious and arranged. As the children of the Lanling Jin family, although we can't stop the rumors, we will not follow the trend and spread rumors It's also a respect for the ancestors. So... I don't want to hear such absurd remarks without evidence."

Seeing that he had explained such a long list patiently, Jin Chen bowed down a little ashamedly and said, "Sovereign...I understand."

Seeing that his expression softened slightly, Jin Ling sat back on the chair and picked up the teacup on one side, lifted the lid gracefully, glanced at the floating leaves, sipped the tea and said, "Get up."

Jin Ling got up and stood there for a while, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Sovereign, if that's the case, please allow the Sect Master to open the warehouse and get some casting materials for high-grade immortal swords?"

Jin Ling said, "What do you want these for? Your sword is broken?"

Jin Chen said: "It's not mine, it's... I accidentally broke Mr. Lan's."

Jin Ling said, "Lan and Mu's? You broke his sword?"

Jin Chen nodded and said: "Yeah. So... I introduced him to Yin Wuhuan in the lower city of Jinlin Terrace, from the beginning..."

Before he finished speaking, the suzerain of his family stood up excitedly from the chair for the second time, this time he even knocked over the teacup in his hand, and said out of tune: "You, you, you said that he is... in Lanling now?! Just Under... Jinlin Stage?!!"

Jin Chen was stunned by him, and nodded silently after a while.

Jin Ling said: "You child!! Why didn't you say so sooner?! Hurry up, hurry up... I don't have anyone to invite me yet!"

"metropolitan?"

Jin Ling was stunned for a moment, then pretended to reprimand him in a disguised way: "You're talking about you! After all, he helped you. Everyone has already arrived at the door of the house. You don't even invite them in. How can you be so ignorant of etiquette?" What do I usually teach you?"
