The villain is respected

"I said how poor you must be to come to Zuixianlou to order free white flour steamed buns?" A disciple laughed sarcastically. He waved his sleeves deliberately, and a few round buns on the table rolled to The ground was stained with ashes.

As a result, the people behind also roared with laughter.

They were dressed in inner disciple shirts embroidered with cloud patterns, and the rings around their waists were more delicate than the other. They walked around exquisitely, quite elegantly, not like monks, but like wealthy sons of a rich family.

The people who came to practice this time were all inner disciples of Chengyun Sect. Among them, all of them were from prominent backgrounds, but there was a pauper from the same sect in front of them.

It was as if an out-of-fit gray finch had broken into the phoenix flock, and the intruder was obsequious and taciturn, making one unable to help but want to ridicule and crowd out.

The person being ridiculed did not make a sound, he was like a forgotten deep lake, able to quietly and silently swallow all the malice thrown into it.

He swallowed the food in his mouth, leaned over and looked down, picked up the dusty steamed buns one by one, and carefully dusted off the dust.

"No way, no way, do you still pick up the ones that fall on the ground?"

"It's as if I haven't eaten anything. I was reincarnated by a starving ghost in my previous life."

"Tsk, this kind of person has completely embarrassed our Cheng Yunzong. He has to be removed by the steward when he goes back."

……

Maliciousness and ridicule swept over like a sea tide, and they pointed directly at the lonely figure, wishing to make him feel ashamed, and it would be best to slam his head to death to show his innocence.

"enough."

Suddenly, a gentle rebuke rang out, like an order, completely calming down the noisy scene in an instant.

A young man walked forward slowly, he frowned, and glanced at the disciples behind him solemnly, with a vague reprimand in his eyes, "How decent is it to bully fellow disciples!"

The surrounding waves stopped, and there was no sound for a moment, but the man squatting on the ground was unmoved at all. He stretched out his hand to reach the last steamed bun, but saw a slender hand broke into his sight.

That hand picked up the thing carefully, followed his example, dusted it off, and handed it over.

The man on the ground was finally willing to look up, but what he saw was a pair of kind eyes and a slightly apologetic smile.

"Sorry, they are not sensible."

"It's okay." He frowned and replied with a smile.

……

When Xie Chi woke up from the dream, those eyes still seemed to float in front of his eyes.Counting it, since he left the Eastern Wild Sea, he has not dreamed about the past for a long time.

He got up and got out of bed, poured himself a glass of cold water to moisten his throat, and the coolness entered his stomach, but it couldn't extinguish the anxiety that came from his heart at all.

After drinking a cup of tea, Xie Chi's eyes dimmed. During these days, he also inquired about Lin Yu's news in private, but as Yu Jianhan said, everyone in the world seemed to believe that—a thousand years ago It was Lin Yu who entered the Eastern Wild Sea.

As for the name Xie Chi, it was just a short-lived rookie in magic repair, and there were only a few words about him in the biography of historical materials.

After winning the Nine Sects in the Eastern Wild Sea, his whereabouts are unknown.This is the only verdict on him.

But he didn't feel angry at all, because the people who participated in the past and those who survived the world have become powerful people. They must know the rumors that Lin Yu went to the East to burn the lamp, or they tacitly allowed this news to spread... …

That being the case, Xie Chi naturally wouldn't expose this lie, because his reputation was nothing compared to Lin Yu's.

After all, it doesn't matter who went to the Eastern Paradise Sea, besides, who would believe that a notorious devil would be willing to guard the Heart Demon Abyss?

Lin Yu is a good person, the hand he stretched out back then was the first time in Xie Chi's life that he received kindness from others.If a person has been walking in the dark and sees the light, he will never forget it.

They say that a gentleman should know how to repay his kindness.At that time, he didn't understand that he had hurt Lin Yu before, and now he deserved it and reaped the consequences.

So even though he was very concerned about Lin Yu's whereabouts, he didn't dare to let Yu Jianhan look for clues, and he didn't dare to bring up the topic of burning lanterns in the Eastern Lunar Sea again in front of that person.

Yu Jianhan was stubborn and serious. If he insisted on finding out what happened back then, he might end up revealing the truth without hesitation—but this was not the result he wanted.

But this question has always lingered in his heart, becoming an inextricable thorn.

Wen Bingyan passed away, where did Lin Yu go?Where can he go?

And Xie Chi could never have guessed that the old friend he missed was actually just across the courtyard from him.But compared to his worries, the "excellent" person in his memory is sharpening his sharp blade against the unknowing prey.

……

In a guest house just a few courtyards away, the top-level sound-proof shielding formation shone slightly, and the owner also carefully arranged a warning barrier two feet outside the courtyard. As long as anyone approached, he would be the first to Time to receive the message.

There was supposed to be only one person in the room, but there was a faint conversation.

"You mean, Nan Ruo really died of an accident?" A charming female voice came from the Shuiyue mirror, with a faint sneer, "You don't want to cover up for that Xie."

The young man who was questioned was not in a hurry, he explained in a slow voice with reason and evidence.

"I went to find the elders of the Fo'en Temple, and it was indeed a decision that they collectively agreed to use the Zen flowers before the unveiling ceremony... As for the monk who sent the Zen flowers, he was also interrogated by Elder Yao Menglan. There really isn't any problem."

"Although I am the same as the real person, I don't want to see Xie Chi come out, but this happened before the change in the Eastern Wild Sea. If you force it to be related to him, it is far-fetched. If the real person Yin Yu doesn't believe it, you can go and investigate."

True Yin Yu...

It's just a few words, but if someone else is here, their eyes will definitely widen in shock.This name sounds gentle and graceful, but before "Yin Yu", it was a title that the cultivation world didn't even dare to mention - Blood Poison Lady.

She is a powerful demon cultivator who has been hidden in the world for many years. She has an unpredictable temper, moody, and her notoriety is known to everyone.Back then, just because it was past the curfew, she entered the city at night and was blocked by the city guards, so she smiled coquettishly and massacred millions of people in the city overnight, shocking the whole world.

But in the end, no one knows how this senior in the demon cultivator world met a disciple of Chengyun Sect, and his attitude was extremely familiar inside and out.

The female voice laughed fiercely again, and she elongated her tone: "Oh, Xiao Yu'er has a temper now? I didn't say I don't believe it..."

Immediately, Master Yin Yu's voice sank slightly, and the cold breath even seeped in through the water moon mirror, causing the temperature in the room to suddenly drop a little: "It's just when did Xie Chi come out, and how did he come out?" , you don’t know at all. And the illusion of Zixun Mountain was broken, Nanruo of Fo’en Temple died, and the monument of merit was tampered with... It’s too coincidental.”

Seeing her emotions getting more and more intense, a coercive scold came from Shuiyue Mirror: "Yin Yu!"

It was the Elder Song Jueyi of Nanyang Peak, Lin Qingyue recognized his voice, his heart was not disturbed, and he just lowered his eyes silently.

He knew that this person would definitely speak to him,

and……

The corners of his lips curled up imperceptibly—since Elder Song Jueyi was there, that person must be there too, so Yin Yu was just a shrimp swimming in the shallows, unable to turn over any storms.

Sure enough, after Elder Song reprimanded Yin Yu, he continued: "Qingyue has made it very clear just now that Xie Chi and Yu Jianhan appeared together. You and I both know that after Yu Jianhan entered Chengyunzong, His words and deeds have always been in our hands, and it is absolutely impossible for him to know about Xie Chi... Therefore, the incident of Xie Chi's trip to Donghuang must have something to do with his trip to Dongwang."

"Also, do I need to remind you again about Zixun Mountain?" The old man said with sarcasm, "Everyone here, who can't break that barrier easily? It's just that we all know the pros and cons of it—we are all In this position, with something of a heart demon, no matter how simple it is, there is no need to take such a big risk..."

At the other end of the Shuiyue mirror, everyone fell silent.

In the eyes of ordinary monks, the enchantment of Zixun Mountain is indeed complicated and obscure, but to people like them, it is just a pile of mud randomly piled up by children, which can fall apart with a slight push.

But by chance, the enchantment of Zixun Mountain was tainted with the breath of inner demons.

Heart demon breath... It's like trying to dig into the water to find something. You know it's useless, but the water is poisonous. Who wants to spend so much time in this muddy water?

Naturally, the tragedy at Zixun Mountain couldn't escape their eyes, and with a little questioning, they could know what kind of moths the younger generation of their sect had made——

It was nothing more than taking Chao's blood and bones to forge spiritual weapons.

But using human flesh and blood as spiritual weapons, there must be a lot of blood and grievances in it, and blood is the most likely to attract demons.Although everyone in the world thinks that the inner demons already have a way to restrain them, they are not ignorant fools. Once the inner demons are aroused, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Therefore, regarding the matter of Zixun Mountain, since they couldn't find anyone to set up the formation, they could only keep out of sight and out of mind. At the same time, they also acquiesced in Yu Jianhan's practice of banning Zixun.

"Elder Song is right, and what happened to Nan Ruo, we have already made a conclusion back then. He was suddenly backlashed by demons, which is not a good omen... In order to continue to observe, we let Fo'en Temple have a good birth Follow him." Another person echoed.

"At that time, we also considered the issue of Yichan flowers, so we asked Jiuzong to order that all Yichan flowers should be sent to my jade furnace gate to refine Jianxin Dan. But who knows, the group of monks in Fo'en Temple thought they were smart. Secretly disobeying the order directly killed Nan Ruo."

The elder of Yulumen sighed: "The disciples I sent have also tested it. It is true that Nan Ruo died because of dragging the Zen flower. If it really passed through Xie Chi's hands, why did he beat around the bush like this? Think about it, everyone." , the Wuion back then, could it be no better than a mere Nanruo?"

Wu ion, No. 1 in Kyushu thousands of years ago, but he personally beheaded it for Xie Chi... If he wanted to crush Nanruo to death, what other Zen flowers could he use?

I'm afraid that as soon as he had this idea, that person's head would hang in front of the mountain gate of Fo'en Temple that night...

Elder Song took up the conversation again, and he finally made a conclusion: "Yin Yu, you heard it too, the ones who understand Xie Chi best in this world, aren't we the ones?"

"Nan Ruo's death is by no means his way of doing things. There are indications that it was indeed an accident... But it is very likely that he broke the barrier of Zixun and tampered with the inscription of meritorious deeds. If you think about it, you can only It could be that after Yu Jianhan entered the Eastern Paradise, Xie Chi escaped, and the two of them went to Zixun Mountain to break the formation, and after learning about the Chao Clan's bloody case, they took advantage of the unveiling ceremony to make the matter public."

The female voice finally sounded again, with some sarcasm and sarcasm: "Yes, yes, everyone can understand, blame me for being too impatient..."

Yin Yu swallowed his anger, gritted his teeth, and put on airs: "So, what can we do after analyzing so much? Who knows how Xie Chi got out, and what he wants to do?"

She snorted coldly: "Everyone, Xie Chi killed Wu Ion in front of us. Can any of you say that your current cultivation is much better than the Kyushu No. 1 back then?"

"If we still can't figure out the situation and can't solve this hidden danger, we don't have to wait for some demons to turn back. We can just go home, burn incense and take a bath, wash our necks and wait for Xie Chi to come to collect debts!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was speechless.

The appearance of Xie Chi was like a boulder falling suddenly, shattering all the illusion of peace. He rediscovered the old events from thousands of years ago, and put a deadly noose around everyone's necks.

They are now discussing and researching around this boulder, but as Yin Yu said, no matter how much they know, if they cannot be moved or smashed, the boulder will always stand here, and the sharp blade will always hang above their heads. Can't get rid of it.

Xie Chi died, or they died.

Lin Qingyue counted silently in his mind, and when there was enough silence around him, he suddenly raised his eyes slightly and looked straight at the dark water moon mirror.

Suddenly, an extremely majestic voice came from there, like an emperor accustomed to giving orders, and began to dispatch troops.

"Qingyue." The voice said.

Lin Qingyue lowered his head slowly, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes."

"Temporarily hide your identity, follow Xie Chi closely, and at the same time start from him and Yu Jianhan, find out what happened to Dong Yaohai, and figure out the method and purpose of his coming out."

"Yes." He replied firmly.

"The rest of the sects must cooperate with Qingyue, and at the same time send more people to defend the Eastern Paradise Sea. If there is any change, report it immediately." Lin Sixuan ordered, "Now, Xie Chi is not the focus, what is more important is the situation of the Eastern Paradise Sea. That's the real matter of life and death."

"Xie Chi is not irreplaceable. If he can return to Dongwang obediently, then nothing will happen. If he knows something he shouldn't know, we can naturally give him a ride." The man's voice was steady, but there was something in it. The stern voice is shocking, "You don't need to worry too much, after all, we have raised Yu Jianhan for so many years, isn't it just the preparation for this?"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Everyone seemed to have found their backbone again, and they replied loudly, as if they had returned to the glorious years of working together.

Lin Sixuan finally ordered Lin Qingyue in a deep voice: "Qingyue, you know what to do - if Xie Chi has a different mind, we will find a way to get rid of him, but we must pay attention to Yu Jianhan's movements, after all, Dongwanghai, we One more person is needed."

Lin Qingyue lowered his eyes and replied, "Yes, suzerain."

"What's more..." Lin Sixuan said with a smile, he sighed, "The chess pieces reserved by Nanming Prefecture should also be moved."

Everyone instantly understood the meaning of his words, and all smiled tacitly.

Nanmingzhou... Lin Qingyue's eyes sank, he remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

……

The night was completely deep, and in the quiet guest house where insects and birds were chirping, Xie Chi put on his coat and blew out the burning lamps, while Lin Qingyue was holding up the lamps, and removed the surrounding soundproof formations one by one.

And in the meditation room where he couldn't see his fingers, Yu Jianhan was shrouded in darkness, his eyes were fixed on the front, he was casually playing with the white jade-like sword pendant in his hand, and there was a gentle smile on his lips.

Like a predator hiding in the night, waiting quietly and patiently for its prey.

Is it a chess piece from Nanming State?

With a snap, he grasped the shiny sword pendant, as if strangling the fragile neck of his prey. The smile on his lips deepened, but the light in his eyes became darker.

great.
