The background board master dressed as the protagonist

The foreground faded, and Jiang Yumian returned to his room in the city of Absolute Beginning.

Before going out, he set up a small teleportation array in the room. It was originally prepared for another hand to explore the city of Absolute Beginning at night, but it was used here unexpectedly.

When that little heavenly eye of Qiankun shone at him, he stretched out his hand to cover his face, and he didn't know if his true face was seen through.

It's not that he didn't think that the other party's unknown origin might be detrimental to him, and the kindness in front of him might have been faked.

But he could clearly feel that the other party still had a magic weapon that could suppress him, and the situation was so sudden just now, he had to dodge first, otherwise he would be a living target standing there with the small eyes of heaven and earth.

The night trip did not go well.

Jiang Yumian erased all traces of the teleportation array, and replaced the night clothes and mask.

He sat down by the bed, looked at the mask in his hand in the dark, it was just a simple black mask, nothing special about it.

That person said he knew him because of this mask.

Jiang Yumian had a headache, and finally put away the mask, that's all, one day he will find out the origin of that person.

It will be dawn in another hour or so, he lies down and rests, and when he calms down, tomorrow he will act in front of everyone in Taichu City, pretending that he has not gone out at night.

Luofengpo.

The black shadow that was blown away gradually lost its yin energy, revealing its true face under the not-so-bright moonlight, but it was none other than Pei Ming.

After falling to the ground, he sat up and stared at the direction where Jiang Yumian disappeared for a long time.

During the day, he saw Jiang Yumian's expression was different, and Jiang Yumian was interested when he mentioned the city in the early days, there must be something wrong.

Thinking of the secret about the city of Taichu in his previous life, he didn't trust Duan Song at all, so he started to investigate at night.

When Jiang Yumian asked him to go back to his room to sleep, he agreed, otherwise it would be difficult to move at night.

Who knew he wasn't the only one breaking into the inner city tonight.

At the beginning, he didn't care about the other party's identity. He found the other party in front of Duan Song's courtyard, and thought about eradicating him first, lest the other party startle the snake and hurt him.

Unexpectedly, the moon suddenly appeared at that time, allowing him to see the mask.

The person who rescued him from the dark fire in the abyss in his previous life wore such a mask.

The unexpected surprise made him stop, but the man said he didn't know him, and thought he had misunderstood him.

How could Pei Ming not know this, it was the first time they met in this life.

It's not that he didn't have worries in his heart. If he met in advance in this life and that person didn't save him, would the two of them still get along for a while like in the previous life.

Thinking of the kindness the other party had treated him in his previous life, and the grace of saving his life, he lured Duan Song and the others away.

But even in his previous life, he didn't know the real identity of the other party.

So he came up with an idea, trying to find out who this person who had saved him was.

Different from his previous life, this time he took away all the things in the forbidden area ahead of time, and got the little heavenly eye of Qiankun.

Pei Ming never expected that that person was Jiang Yumian.

Even though it was just a fleeting glance and was covered by his hands, he could only see the eyebrows hidden under the mask, but based on his familiarity with Jiang Yumian, he couldn't recognize who it was.

After sitting on the ground for a long time, a few night birds were heard from the forest in the distance, and Pei Ming woke up like a dream.

Complicated emotions were entangled in his heart, making him unable to even speak. There was a lot of dirt and dust on his clothes, so he performed a cleansing technique casually.

When he left, he finally had a reaction, with a smile in his lowered eyes.

The sun came out, and light came in through the windows.

Jiang Yumian opened his eyes, lay down for a while, and then went outside to wash up.

In addition to worrying about the stranger last night, he was still thinking about the missing disciple.

I don't know how many people have lost contact.

He took out the messenger talisman, and before he could use it, he sensed Jun Tianmo's aura coming from far and near, and he quickly entered the yard.

"Brother." Jiang Yumian pushed the door open and walked out.

Jun Tianmo came back with Yu Honglian, and his eyes fell on the other party.

"Master Uncle." Yu Honglian saluted, but he took a half step back, obviously a little shy.

Neither Jun Yang nor Jun Tian Mo knew why.

"What did you encounter?" Jiang Yumian withdrew her inquiring gaze.

Yu Honglian replied: "Back to Master Uncle, I chased a leopard monster far away, and entered a mountain with obstacles."

"Where is the mountain?" Jiang Yumian asked again.

He has always been expressionless, cold and indifferent, and the tone of his questioning at this time is also cold, which still has a certain deterrent effect in the eyes of unfamiliar disciples.

Although Yu Honglian often heard Jun Yang mention that he had no temper, she had never really come into contact with him.

She collected herself and said, "It's Xiecui Mountain."

Jiang Yumian nodded lightly. Xiecui Mountain is not too close to here, but it happens to be within the sphere of influence of Taichu City and is on the edge.

Not to mention one night, if you want to hurry back, you can come back in half a night with Yu Honglian's footsteps, so why delay two nights.

Seeing Yu Honglian's timid expression, he couldn't help but soften his words, and asked, "Did you receive the summons?"

In any case, the current Yu Honglian doesn't look different at all, and even if she is dropped, she is still a victim, so she shouldn't press her too hard.

"Maybe it's because of the confusion. I didn't receive it. The confusion is really tricky. I wandered around inside for a long time but didn't come out. I still found the way out after hearing Yangyang and the uncle's shouts."

Yu Honglian said everything she could think of.

Jiang Yumian nodded and said, "Well, there was a seizure of the house a few days ago, so I asked a few more questions for the sake of caution."

"Master, I understand." Yu Honglian breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be this, she was also there when the disciples of Wanjianzong were taken away by monsters that day, and she understood after explaining clearly.

Jun Yang also heaved a sigh of relief, she had never seen Jiang Yumian like this before, and she was a little nervous just now.

"Uncle, I'll go back with Sister Honglian first." She smiled.

"En." Jiang Yumian nodded, watching them leave here.

Yu Honglian seemed to be fine no matter her speech or manner, because after being outside for a long time, her aura had been depleted a bit, which was not unusual.

When there were only the two of them left in the courtyard, Jun Tianmo said, "Junior brother, what happened?"

Jiang Yumian sat down at the stone table and poured tea for both of them.

He casually set up a barrier to prevent the wall from having ears, and said, "Brother, do you still remember the clay figurine in Hanxu Cave?"

Jun Tianmo's expression froze, because just now Jiang Yumian asked about Yu Honglian's actions, needless to say, he quickly figured out the key point.

"So, Honglian is very likely to be a fake." He whispered.

The two talked while drinking tea, and there was nothing unusual based on their expressions.

After all, Absolute Beginning City is someone else's territory, so be careful and you won't go wrong.

"It doesn't necessarily mean that the person has been replaced. I'm afraid that after the dummy is made, they will secretly replace the real person."

What Jiang Yumian was more worried about was whether the real person would be imprisoned or killed directly after the secret person was replaced.

If it is the former, there is still hope of survival. If it is the latter, I don't know if some disciples have already suffered.

He frowned slightly.

Jun Tianmo said: "Well, I will tell Yangyang and others later that they must be optimistic about Honglian."

"Brother was in Xiecui Mountain when he found her?" Jiang Yumian asked.

Jun Tianmo recalled it carefully, and said: "That's not bad. Xiecui Mountain is indeed covered by a blindness. When I arrived, I didn't find any traces of other people."

"Yeah." Jiang Yumian nodded, and after a silence he asked again: "Brother, do you still remember the mirror?"

"Remember." Jun Tianmo took a sip of tea.

Jiang Yumian said, "Perhaps we can ask Yangyang to find out if Honglian has any impression of the mirror."

Jun Tianmo said: "Well, I will tell her."

"Senior brother." Jiang Yumian raised his eyes to look at the person opposite, his expression was solemn, obviously something important was going on, Jun Tianmo listened attentively after that.

"I visited Duan Song's mansion last night, and in his room I saw Wu Qin who had appeared in Hanxu Cave."

Jun Tianmo pondered for a moment and asked, "Have they colluded?"

If Wu Qin hadn't been discovered before, the matter of the clay figurine might have been just Jiang Yumian's guess. After all, coming to Dongzhou to eliminate demons would inevitably lead to running around, and it was normal for him to be unable to contact a few disciples occasionally.

But when Wu Qin appeared in the city of Taichu and had a secret talk with Duan Song in the middle of the night, he had to pay attention to it.

"Very likely." Although Jiang Yumian used the same words, they both knew in their hearts that there was definitely an unscrupulous conspiracy between Duan Song and Wu Qin.

"Duan Song's ambition is not a lie. The City of Absolute Beginning has been expanding its territory over the years, and even overwhelmed Wuding Villa."

Jun Tianmo said slowly: "If he really colludes with the secret force, it should be for the sake of profit. If all the major sects put his people in, based on this person's appetite, he must even get involved in the Northern Territory. of."

Jiang Yumian didn't know Duan Song very well, but when he heard Jun Tianmo say this, he also felt that it was true. The most motivating thing in the world is nothing but the word benefit.

"I'm not sure about Honglian, I have to find a way to prove it." Jiang Yumian said, then looked up to the outside of the courtyard.

It was Pei Ming who came over.

The young man who appeared at the door smiled with starry eyes, and there seemed to be a bright light in his eyes, which made people look away.

He always had a smile on his brows and eyes, and others liked him when they saw him, but today's smile looked particularly bright and brilliant.

Jiang Yumian paused, wondering why he was so happy early in the morning.

Pei Ming stepped into the courtyard, cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Master."

Because of Jiang Yumian, Jun Tianmo also loves Pei Ming very much, he smiled a few times and asked, "Who did you meet today, so happy?"

"Master was joking, how can I see anyone." Pei Ming said, a pair of smiling eyes couldn't help falling on Jiang Yumian.

Neither Jun Tianmo nor Jiang Yumian knew what was going on in his heart, so naturally they didn't understand this look.

Jiang Yumian didn't speak, he didn't talk much, Jun Tianmo laughed and said, "I saw you smiling so much, I thought you saw someone's girl."

Pei Ming also, Jun Tianmo can be said to have been worrying about their master and apprentice.

After all, from his point of view, his younger brother talked less, never thought about starting a family, and probably never worried about his nephew's lifelong affairs.

So sometimes he would think about whether he should tell Jiang Yumian to see if his apprentice had these thoughts when he was older.

If you don't have one, you don't have to worry too much, but if Pei Ming has the idea of ​​starting a family, he is an uncle, so he will naturally help.

The smile on Pei Ming's face became brighter and brighter, thinking that he didn't see the girl, but saw a master who looked like an exile last night.
