Mistaking the villain Xianzun as the object of salvation

In the afternoon of that day, when Zhou Yue was studying ink for Gu Xuecheng, a secret guard walked into the study room and respectfully presented a plain note: "I report to the Master Immortal, Master Guanhui, Daoist Song Lingzi, The sect master and master Qin have already arrived at the mountain gate, this is a greeting card from Master Guanhui."

"I understand." Gu Xuecheng nodded, glanced at Zhou Yue again, and then coughed softly as a cover-up, "You...you two, go with me."

Ziyu looked at her nose and heart, and said honestly: "Yes."

This purple jade looks pretty good, and it seemed that she had some illusions about Gu Xuecheng before, but since Zeng Liuyun was shattered from the golden core and expelled from the mountain gate that day, he has become obedient and never dared to go beyond it.

Zhou Yue was thinking about Bai Chenyu's confession, but didn't answer for a while, Ziyu tugged at his sleeve lightly, and Gu Xuecheng said flatly: "Zhou Qingyue, did you hear what I said? Go with me."

Zhou Yue came back to her senses and couldn't help complaining secretly. Recently, she has treated Gu Xuecheng well. This kid is really used to being served, and she always takes her with her wherever she goes.

Gu Xuecheng glanced at him: "Huh?"

Zhou Yue was also a little curious about those heads, so she said respectfully: "Yes."

Only then did Gu Xuecheng nodded in satisfaction.

A while later, Zhou Yue followed Gu Xuecheng all the way to Lingxiao Hall.

The hall was in perfect order, Wenjian Peak Lu Zilin, Luo Everest Peak Lin Siyun, Qianji Peak Luo Xian all arrived, the two envoys of Qingfeng Mingyue also arrived, hundreds of outer disciples shuttled back and forth in the hall, ready to welcome the guests Seats, tea, snacks, and incense.

Zhou Yue saw Bai Chenyu pouring tea with sharp eyes, and secretly thought that Bai Chenyu is a good-looking kid who can talk, and he was caught by the stewards.

At this time, there was a long announcement from outside the hall: "Master Guanhui of Biyun Temple has arrived--Songtao Guansong Lingzi Daoist Master has arrived--Sect Master Lu of the East Sea Sword Sect has arrived--Lord Master Qin of Yanbo Tower has arrived--"

Gu Xuecheng led the crowd out of the palace gate to greet them, and saw a group of people just came up from the mountain road, just arrived at Baiyu Square, the leader was a handsome monk in white, he looked very young, no more than 25 years old.

The young monk clasped his hands together, bowed deeply, and said in a gentle voice, "Amitabha! The poor monk Guanhui of Biyun Temple has long admired the name of Immortal Lingxue."

Zhou Yue was slightly taken aback, this young monk is Guanhui, the abbot of Biyun Temple?

Kuzhen, the obscene monk who molested Bai Chenyu back then, was Guanhui’s nephew. Kuzhen is at least fifty or sixty years old. Guanhui is Kuzhen’s uncle. It is said that he is still an eight-turn golden elixir Dzogchen. Zhou Yue thought for sure He is an old monk, but he did not expect to be so young and handsome.

But he thought about it again, in the world of comprehension, his appearance wouldn't change much after forming an alchemy. This Guanhui looks like he's in his 20s, maybe he's already in his fifties or sixties.

Zhou Yue was muttering secretly, but Gu Xuecheng had already nodded, and said flatly: "Master Abbot, I have admired you for a long time."

Several senior monks behind Guanhui also stepped forward to salute.

"Immortal Lingxue, poor Daoist Song Lingzi is polite." This thin old Taoist priest is Song Tao Guanzhu Song Lingzi, a beginner monk of the Eighth Rank Golden Core.

"I've seen Immortal Lingxue." This casual-looking swordsman is Lu Yun, the head of the East China Sea Sword Sect. Besides Lu Zilin, he was the second in charge.

"Qin Donglai has met the Immortal Venerable." This majestic middle-aged man is Qin Donglai, the owner of the Yanbo Building, a junior monk of the eighth-rank Golden Core, and Qin Shaosong stands behind him. murderer.

So far, Lingxiao City, Biyun Temple, Songtao Temple, Donghai Sword Sect, and Yanbo Tower have all arrived, and the five sects of the cultivation world have gathered together.

These five sects are all affiliated to the Immortal Cultivation League. Gu Xuecheng established the Immortal Cultivation League a few years ago in order to find the secret technique of resurrection. The Immortal Cultivation League is headed by Ling Xiaocheng. It can be regarded as a relatively loose organization. Appellation of Junior Sister.

After several heads saluted, the two monks behind Guan Hui also stepped forward to salute.

The young monk on the left is a seven-turn golden elixir Dzogchen monk and also a closed disciple of Master Guanhui. , have met the three peak masters, and the Envoy of Qingfengmingyue."

The monk on the right is an old acquaintance. It is the obscene monk who tried to molest Bai Chenyu back then, Monk Kuzhen.

Naturally, Ku Zhen didn't recognize the changed Zhou Yue, and only respectfully and deeply saluted Gu Xuecheng: "I have seen Immortal Ling Xue."

Gu Xuecheng nodded expressionlessly, but Zhou Yue couldn't help frowning slightly. He could feel that Kuzhen seemed to be at the beginning stage of rank eight golden elixir, but his footsteps were a bit flimsy.

Because of what happened back then, Zhou Yue has always hated this person very much, he couldn't help but look at Bai Chenyu in the distance, who was also looking at Kuzhen with gloomy eyes.

The two happened to meet each other's eyes, Zhou Yue shook her head slowly, signaling Bai Chenyu not to mess around, Bai Chenyu pursed her lips, and nodded slightly.

Zhou Yue was a little relieved, and couldn't help but secretly said, although Bai Chenyu said some nonsense a few days ago, he did suffer a lot of grievances when he was a child, so let's comfort him when he has a chance.

After everyone saw the ceremony, they entered Lingxiao Hall. Gu Xuecheng took his seat at the top seat, the three peak masters and Qingfeng Mingyue Envoy took their seats at the bottom right side, and the four heads sat down at the bottom left side.

Gu Xuecheng cut to the chase and said, "I heard that recently there has been an alchemy cultivator in the realm of comprehension? What's going on?"

Guanhui sighed: "Kuqing, tell me."

Ku Qing behind him stood up, clasped his hands together, his face was very heavy: "Amitabha, Immortal Lingxue, this whole matter, let the little monk give you an overview."

There was silence in the hall, Gu Xuecheng nodded: "Go ahead."

Ku Qing said slowly: "Everyone knows that recently there has been a Pill Digging Demon Cultivator in the realm of comprehension, and this Pill Digging Demon Cultivator first appeared in March last year. On the eighth day of March, Hengzhou Zhang Patriarch, Zhang Zhennan, a fourth-rank Jindan cultivator, was robbed of his alchemy while taking a nap, and committed suicide that night."

He paused, then continued: "On the fifth day of April, He Wen, a drug repairer in Qingzhou, was attacked in a small alley on his way back from a late night visit. After waking up, the golden core had been dug out, and He Wen hanged himself in the middle of the month. "

"Last July..."

Ku Qing has a handsome face and a gentle voice, so eloquently, in less than half an hour, he explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly.

It turned out that from March last year to July this year, in less than a year and a half, there were already nine rank-[-] Golden Core monks, six rank-five Gold Core monks, three rank-[-] Golden Core monks, and one rank-[-] Gold Core monk. The monk who transferred to the golden core was gouged out by the pill-digging demon cultivator. Some of the monks who were dug out died on the spot, and some committed suicide afterwards. Only three survived.

In the end, Ku Qing sighed: "Everyone should have heard about the recent case. At the beginning of last month, Daoist Qing Lingzi was brutally murdered by the demon cultivator, and his golden core was gouged out alive. The young monk was also there at the time, and unexpectedly It’s a shame that I couldn’t stop it.”

The golden elixir is the foundation of a monk, without the golden elixir, life would be worse than death. Everyone couldn't help but fell silent, feeling somewhat insecure. When they heard that Song Lingzi's younger brother, Qing Lingzi, a seven-turn golden elixir junior cultivator, actually When he was brutally murdered, the atmosphere was even more serious.

Everyone couldn't help looking up at Song Lingzi, and an impatient person asked, "Daoist Song Lingzi, what's going on?"

Song Lingzi sighed: "Just lift it up."

After a while, two disciples of Songtao Temple carried a stretcher into Lingxiao Hall, and lying on the stretcher was a pale Taoist in Tsing Yi, who was Qing Lingzi.

Zhou Yue once met this person in the capital. He was so high-spirited and reckless back then, but now he is in such a state, and he can't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Everyone whispered: "So Qing Lingzi is still alive? I thought he was dead."

"The golden core is gone, how can he survive..."

"Isn't this a disgrace to Songtao Temple?"

"If you want me to say, it's better to be self-sufficient."

"Shh..."

Zhou Yue listened to everyone's discussion, and couldn't help shaking her head inwardly. No wonder most of those monks who had their alchemy dug out would commit suicide. Not only did they have their golden alchemy dug out and their cultivation base destroyed, but they still had to bear these rumors.

"The five sects are all members of the Cultivation Alliance, the so-called Cultivation of Immortals asks, and they share the same spirit, how can you make such a mistake, and speak indiscriminately?" Ku Qing frowned slightly, and said loudly.

After Ku Qing finished speaking, he glanced around sternly. Although he was not the head of Biyun Temple, he was Guan Hui's closed disciple after all, and he was still the Seventh-Turn Golden Elixir Dzogchen. With this glance, everyone fell silent. Zhou Yue couldn't help but feel good about her.

Ku Qing paused, then bent down, gently lifted Qing Lingzi up, and said in a gentle voice: "Master Qing Lingzi, please tell everyone about the situation we encountered that day."

Qing Lingzi barely sat up, and said in a hoarse voice: "Ahem, Master Kuqing, thank you very much, and you still speak for me, a useless person, ahem..."

Qing Lingzi's body seemed to be in extreme condition, he coughed for a long time, and then slowly said: "Ahem, that day, I was working in Jinzhou City with a few disciples, and suddenly I saw Master Ku Qing's fireworks message , I seemed to have found the trace of the demon cultivator, so I rushed over with a few disciples."

He coughed a few more times: "Ahem... The location of the incident at that time was the cemetery in the back hill of Lushui Village outside Jinzhou City. According to the local villagers, there used to be a secluded four-turn golden elixir casual cultivator in Lushui Village. He was very charitable, and after the fall of the Sanxiu, the villagers buried him in the cemetery at the back of the mountain. When we arrived, the grave had already been dug up, the abdomen of the corpse was severely damaged, and the golden core was also dug away."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, terrified: "This demon cultivator actually digs up the golden core of the corpse?"

"What is he trying to do?"

"It's so creepy..."

Gu Xuecheng lowered his eyes, as if thinking of something, Zhou Yue also thought of the same thing, after all, there are not enough living golden elixirs, Gu Ruhai also dug up many corpses back then, and managed to scrape together five eight-rank golden elixirs, forming a nine-rank golden elixir. Dan.

"Cough, cough..." Qing Lingzi coughed for a while, and then continued, "At that time, Master Kuqing and I took dozens of disciples and searched for a long time around Lushui Village, but we didn't find any trace of the demon cultivator. It was too late, we stayed in the Earth Temple outside the village, thinking about continuing to track down Moxiu the next day. But who would have thought..."

Speaking of this, Qing Lingzi couldn't go on talking, and his face turned pale. Everyone had heard about this incident before, and they all knew that Qing Lingzi was gouged out of gold on the night of staying at the Earth Temple. Dan couldn't help but hold his breath.

Even Zhou Yue was very curious and silently pricked up his ears.

Qing Lingzi took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I don't know why, I usually just meditate and practice at night, but that night I felt very sleepy, and I fell asleep without knowing it. I don't know how long I slept, and I suddenly I heard the sound of a rooster crowing in the apse of the Earth Temple."

A monk muttered, "The rooster crows? Is it the end of Yin time?"

Qing Lingzi didn't answer, but continued: "At that time, everyone else was sleeping soundly, I vaguely felt a little strange, afraid of the way of the demon cultivator, so I quietly went to the back hall to check, but there was nothing in the back hall. No. At this moment, I suddenly heard someone chuckle behind me, and then my eyes went dark, and I didn't know anything."

Qing Lingzi paused, and said in a hoarse voice: "When I was woken up by Master Kuqing, I was lying behind the Buddha statue in the apse of the Earth Temple. There was a big hole in my abdomen, and the golden elixir was gone."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that this incident was indescribably weird, and they all felt a little chilled all over.

Zhou Yue murmured: "The rooster crows..." Most of the monks were very light sleepers, why didn't the others wake up?

Ku Qing sighed: "I think everyone also thinks this is very strange. First, when I found the injured Daoist Qingling behind the Buddha statue, it was the beginning of Yinshi, and the roosters in Lushui Village hadn't started to crow; Two, if there is a rooster crowing in the middle of the night, why didn't I and other disciples hear it? Third, the chuckle heard before Senior Brother Qing Ling fainted, was it really that Demon Cultivator?"

Everyone said: "Yes, this matter is really weird everywhere."

"Why do I feel a little chill on my back?"

"If it's for changing pills, Daoist Qing Lingzi's seventh-rank golden pill should be enough. Why did you go around killing people, destroying people's graves, and digging away more than a dozen golden pills?"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, but there was no result of the discussion.

Gu Xuecheng pondered for a moment, then took another look at Guanhui: "Master Guanhui, what do you want to say?"

Guan Hui sighed: "Ku Zhen, just take out the manuscript."

"Yes." Ku Zhen coughed lightly, stood up slowly, and took out a thin manuscript from his arms.

He looked around and said calmly: "You may have heard that a few years ago, there was a bloody case in the capital. Several boys and girls with attributes of the Five Elements were killed, but nothing happened later."

Zhou Yue was shocked. After Gu Ruhai's death, due to various reasons, this matter was not made public, and gradually no one brought it up again. Could it be that the case of the demon cultivator digging pills is really the same as before?Someone got that "Five Elements for Alchemy"?

Ku Zhen raised the thin copy in his hand: "Back then, the poor monk found a secret book of sorcery on the body of the young man who was suspected of being the murderer. Later, this secret book was taken away by the master of Lingxi Peak. But the poor monk wrote a new book based on his general impression."

Zhou Yue stared at the manuscript, and slightly squinted his eyes. Back then, he destroyed the secret book with his own hands. Unexpectedly, the old monk wrote a new copy!

A monk couldn't help asking: "What is this secret book? What does it have to do with digging pills?"

Ku Zhen said slowly: "This cheat book is called "Five Elements Exchange Alchemy". The practitioner can use five golden elixirs, plus the blood of boys and girls with the properties of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and five elements, to refine a name called "Five Elements" Dan's man Dan."

Everyone chewed on the name: "Five Elements Pill? What's the use?"

Ku Zhen paused word by word and said: "Five first-rank five-element pills refined by first-turn golden pills can make people form second-rank golden pills; five second-rank five-element pills refined by second-turn golden pills can make people form Turn into three golden pills...and so on."

There was deathly silence in Lingxiao Hall, and everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak. There was such a magic in the world!

After a while, a monk suddenly realized: "Could it be that these recent alchemy cases are related to this "Five Elements for Alchemy"?"

"Exactly." Ku Qing nodded.
