Reborn Enemy

Qianyang Mountain’s spiritual energy has changed, and the Lingxin faction has also been affected by the small spiritual eye. The spiritual energy is much more abundant than usual, while the Xuanming faction has the big spiritual eye, which has changed the most. It has only been a short time since Gu Pinglin’s last visit. In a few months, the small trees beside the road have grown into towering trees, and there are exotic flowers and plants everywhere, and there are low-level disciples picking herbs from time to time in the forest.

Yan Feixiu was shocked by the scene in front of her, and murmured: "This is not normal, there is something wrong with the Great Spiritual Eye on the mountain."

Not only Qianyang Mountain, the changes in other places are probably similar.

Gu Pinglin said: "It's almost the eighth day of August."

Yan Feixiu came back to her senses, and smiled wryly: "People who don't know are probably still happy. Wan Famen doesn't know what method they used to easily trigger changes in the aura of various places. So many nearby sects and aristocratic families didn't notice that they did it. Leaving no trace is really not easy."

Zhan Renjie received Gu Pinglin's message a long time ago, and waited in the main hall in person. Gu Pinglin gave a junior salute. Because of Yan Feixiu, the difference in seniority between the two is not considered low status.After greeting each other, Zhan Renjie invited Gu Pinglin to take a seat, while Yan Feixiu stood beside him.

Zhan Renjie first laughed and said: "Master Gu really believes in Duyin Land? The demon ancestors are dead, who knows such sorcery? It's nonsense! It's the "Refining Gods" that has taught the demon ancestors six times. "Nine Chapters" is even more suspicious, but the foundation of Jianwang Pavilion is not enough to plan such a big event. I heard that he sold news to Wei Fengshi to save the Guangling faction and offended Wan Famen. I am in the same family, but I am afraid that he is uneasy and kind, and deliberately deceives you with false news, so that he can use us to deal with Wanfamen."

Yan Feixiu hurriedly said: "But the aura of Xuanming School is too abnormal, it is very suspicious."

Zhan Renjie waved his hand nonchalantly: "The Cultivation Realm's veins have lasted for thousands of years, and it's time to change now. It's a good thing for us to have abundant aura, not to mention who can tamper with the Qianyang Mountain's veins under the nose of our Xuanming Sect?"

Yan Feixiu was also smart, seeing that he didn't believe it, she laughed and said: "What Master said is that the news about Duyin Land is really ridiculous, but recently there are rumors outside that someone is trying to draw spiritual energy, so we must be cautious about this."

Zhan Renjie stroked his beard: "You don't have to worry about that. I personally took someone to check the spiritual eyes of Zixiao Palace in Baitou Mountain. The seal is still there. It can be seen that rumors are always rumors. Even if someone really wants to steal the spiritual energy to change the leylines..." He Sneered: "At the beginning when we jointly sealed the Lingyan of Zixiao Palace, we wanted to break some people's minds. I am afraid that if he gets it, he may not be able to bear the anger of fellow cultivators."

Yan Feixiu secretly worried, turned to look at Gu Pinglin.

However, Gu Pinglin nodded in agreement: "Sect Leader Zhan makes sense." He changed the subject: "Master Yun is still in retreat?"

Zhan Renjie smiled wryly and said, "When Yun Ya came back from discussing Daoism, Master Yun went to retreat to study swordsmanship. Who doesn't know his temper..."

"It's just a momentary victory or defeat," Gu Pinglin said, "Yun Yuan's major has a high level of cultivation, how can an arrogant child compare to it? I heard that Yang Zhao is now a useless person."

It was rare to hear him belittle others, Zhan Renjie was a little surprised, and smiled: "It's not a bad thing for young people to be arrogant, it's a pity."

"Sect Master Zhan has a great mind, so naturally he doesn't care about it," Gu Pinglin suddenly turned back to the previous topic, "However, the changes in the spiritual energy of the cultivation world are always disturbing. I have decided to go to Wuyin Mountain with Master Yinlan Li to investigate. It's just that I'm leaving like this, if there is any important matter in the door, please take the head of the door and take care of it."

Zhan Renjie really smiled and said: "You guys are worrying too much, no matter, I am here in Qianyang Mountain, what can the Lingxin sect do, they are not outsiders now, so you are welcome, just go."

Gu Pinglin cupped his hands: "With the words of occupying the head, I feel relieved."

The two chatted some gossip again, Zhan Renjie ordered a banquet for the two of them, and asked Yan Feixiu about his cultivation progress, and mentioned a few points by the way, and they drank happily until evening, before Gu Pinglin took Yan Feixiu's farewell and left.

Walking to the mountain gate, Yan Feixiu stopped and said to Gu Pinglin in a low voice, "Do you feel that my master is a little different from usual?"

Gu Pinglin said "Oh": "What's the difference?"

Yan Feixiu looked back hesitantly: "I shouldn't doubt the old man, but you don't know. The Xuanming sect is different from the Lingxin sect. The disciples never mention anything. We always ask the master."

Gu Pinglin smiled: "Senior sister is now in the Lingxin sect, and masters and apprentices are not common, so it is natural to be more concerned about being the head."

"Perhaps." Yan Feixiu's expression was not much relaxed, "Are you really going to Wuyin Mountain?"

"Of course," Gu Pinglin said, "I will go with Master Li."

Yan Feixiu said anxiously: "The Qianyang Mountain is very important. The two spiritual eyes are occupied by the Xuanming Sect and the Tiancan Sect. The Tiancan Sect is far away. I have inquired about it. There is no abnormal aura there, but the Xuanming Sect's You can see it too, there must be something wrong, I heard..." She stopped.

Gu Pinglin turned sideways: "Sister, if you have something to say, you might as well speak it out."

Yan Feixiu thought about it for a long time, and said: "A few days ago, Duke Pingcang of Penglai passed away, and the disciples sent to mourn him said that Lord Pingcang's temperament has changed a lot in recent years. The ten thousand methods of ghost cultivation are very mysterious, and ghosts and sorcery can disturb people's minds... "

Gu Pinglin interrupted her: "I just tested it, and there is no sign of being affected by the spell."

Yan Feixiu trusted him very much, and she was relieved when she heard the words: "That's good." She was a little embarrassed: "My master has a high level of cultivation, I was too worried, and I shouldn't doubt him as an old man."

It is not necessary to rely on magic to influence a person, the human heart is inherently dangerous.Gu Pinglin said "hmm": "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Just as the two were about to leave, there was the sound of cranes overhead.A glamorous woman came back with two female disciples, and the three of them landed outside the mountain gate, which was also the reason why they couldn't control the sky inside the mountain gate.

"See Uncle Cheng," Yan Feixiu hurriedly saluted and stepped aside, "Uncle Master just came back from outside?"

That woman is the junior sister of Xuanming sect Zhan Renjie and Duan Qingming's aunt Cheng Shi.She stepped down from Linghe's back, glanced at Yan Feixiu lightly, and then her eyes fell on Gu Pinglin.

In recent years, Gu Pinglin had met her several times, but he had no conversation with her. Facing that cold gaze, Gu Pinglin looked calm and cupped his hands: "Cheng Daxiu."

Cheng looked away, as if he didn't hear it, and asked Yan Feixiu, "Come back to see your master?"

Yan Feixiu was quite embarrassed, and answered a few words respectfully.

Cheng didn't talk much, and walked up the mountain with his disciples, and the three spirit cranes flew to the spirit bird garden by themselves.

Yan Feixiu hurriedly explained to Gu Pinglin: "Uncle Cheng probably still cares about what happened back then, and misunderstood you a bit. Now that Pavilion Master Duan is safe and sound, she must be relieved."

Cheng knew that Duan Qingming was not dead, after all, she saved him with her own hands.Gu Pinglin looked thoughtfully at the direction Cheng was going away, and nodded after a while: "Let's go."

The two hurried back to the door, Chen Qian, Jiang Wu, and Ren Ling were all waiting in the study, Mu Shiqing stood at the door, but Wan Lai was sent to drink with Bu Shuihan and Chang Jinxin.Even though he just came back from the outer Taoist temple, he was shocked to be told such a shocking secret.

Gu Pinglin gave a brief account of the trip.

Jiang Wu was worried: "If you don't believe the master, what should I do?"

Chen Qian thought more: "There's nothing to worry about. The Great Spiritual Eye is in the Xuanming Sect. Even if Zhanmen doesn't believe it, he won't let people from the Wanfamen join the Xuanming Sect. I still don't think the Spirit Locking Formation will In Qianyang Mountain."

"This matter is weird," Ren Ling said, stroking his beard, "It is said that someone wants to draw spiritual energy, and many sects and aristocratic families are secretly investigating. This matter involves the method of drawing spiritual energy. From what you can tell, there is clearly a big problem with the spiritual energy of the Xuanming sect. , but Zhanzong's reaction was too calm, no matter how you look at it, it is unreasonable..."

Yan Feixiu was also thinking about this: "Exactly! I've been feeling uneasy all the time, and I don't know what Master thinks."

What reason made Zhan Renjie let go of doubts so easily?

Jiang Wu implicitly probed: "Whether it will occupy the head of the sect has been known for a long time..."

"Impossible!" Yan Feixiu said, "How could my master be aware of Wanfamen's conspiracy? Do you suspect that the Xuanming Sect is cooperating with the Demon Realm?"

Seeing her displeasure, Jiang Wu quickly stood up and apologized: "Senior Sister, calm down, I didn't mean that."

Yan Feixiu was still reasonable. Knowing that he was just discussing the matter, she immediately calmed down and waved her hand: "I understand what you mean, but the world of cultivation has become a place of solitary yin, and Taoism is extinct. What good does this do for our Xuanming sect? My master? Don't you know?"

Chen Qiandao: "What if Wan Famen lied to him?"

Gu Pinglin raised his eyebrows slightly.

This made Chen Qian right.The Xuanming faction was one of the behind-the-scenes for the tragedy in the Haigukeng that year, colluding with Moyuwei Fengshi and Duan's in order to weaken the forces of other factions, which shows Zhan Renjie's ambition.Now that the Xuanming Sect has lost all face at the Yunya Discussion Meeting, if Wan Famen conceals its true purpose and offers lures, Zhan Renjie may not cooperate.

"My master is so easy to be deceived, you just have a prejudice against him!" Yan Feixiu angrily scolded Chen Qian, but a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

Gu Pinglin stopped Chen Qian from speaking in time: "There are still a few masters in the Xuanming sect."

Yan Feixiu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right! The heads of the school have high status and their words are very important. My master has to discuss with them when encountering important issues, and my uncles, brothers, I'm sure no one will win." What about Wanfamen's trap, maybe my master was deceived by his own people."

Gu Pinglin followed her and said: "That's what I mean too, so I want to ask my senior sister to inquire secretly to see if anyone in the Xuanming sect is acting abnormally, maybe there may be clues."

Yan Feixiu immediately said: "This is easy, just leave it to me."

Gu Pinglin said to the crowd: "It's always good to be careful. The Qianyang Mountain spirit vein is the foundation of our sect. On the eighth day of August, senior sister and senior brother Chen might as well go back to the Xuanming sect to visit the sect leader. Senior brother Jiang will also follow. If not, let out incense sticks, and there will be friends from the Guangling Sect nearby to meet you."

When everyone heard that the Guangling faction would come, they all nodded, "That's very good."

Yan Feixiu was most worried about the teacher, and said happily after hearing the words: "It's better not to have conflicts. If there is a problem, I will find a way to delay my master. However, you must not disturb the master Yun who is in retreat. With him, you will be able to deal with it." It's useless if Zhou Shanzhu came in person."

Yunhe is the strongest sword cultivator of the Xuanming Sect. He has a bad temper and can't listen to explanations. He is currently retreating near the spiritual eye. Everyone guarding the spiritual eye will inevitably alarm him.

Chen Qian looked solemn: "Maybe we can go to the entrance of the cave to set up an enchantment in advance."

Yan Feixiu was also worried, but she still said, "I'll figure out a way."

Mu Shiqing said suddenly: "What if Pavilion Master Duan makes a move?"

The room was quiet.

If Duan Qingming came forward in person, he would definitely be an enemy of the Lingxin faction.

Chen Qian said coldly: "He is no longer a disciple of his own sect, but he chose to help Wanfa sect. Has he ever thought about what will happen to these brothers and sisters of the Lingxin sect after the matter is completed? Since he doesn't care about the former master sect, we naturally can't let him Repair the world for disaster."

Yan Feixiu pulled his arm: "Always in the same sect, Junior Brother Duan was good back then, if he could look back, he wouldn't have come this far."

Chen Qian had a sullen face, but he didn't refute her.

Everyone looked at Gu Pinglin, but Gu Pinglin didn't answer the topic, and motioned for everyone to continue.

Jiang Wu said: "Nowadays, many sects in the Demon Realm are attached to the Ten Thousand Famen, plus the Sword King Pavilion, if they go out with all their strength..."

Chen Qian stopped and said: "No, if Wanfamen wants to create the Four Spirits Swallowing Sun Formation, it is impossible to concentrate its strength, and with the strength of Xuanming Sect, even if Wei Fengshi comes, it can last for a day and a half, not to mention the nearby sect's aristocratic family. There are many, and there are even Tiancanmen. I still think Qianyang Mountain is not the target of Wanfamen."

Jiang Wu also agreed: "But Master Wei Feng was unprepared, and the spirit lock array in the Demon Realm is very likely to succeed. In this case, we must guard at least two places. Now that the spirit energy in various places is abnormal, how to determine the location?" He looked at Gu Pinglin: "The head and Owner Li is planning to go to Wuyin Mountain, maybe he has a clue?"

Gu Pinglin said "hmm": "I have already guessed."

Everyone showed joy at the same time.

Jiang Wu said with a smile: "Sect Leader said so, we have a solid foundation in our hearts. To tell you the truth, I'm so worried that I'm about to lose my hair recently."

The atmosphere became relaxed, and everyone started talking and laughing without asking any more questions.

In fact, saying that there are clues is half true and half just to reassure everyone.Gu Pinglin listened for a while, then asked everyone to disperse, leaving only Mu Shiqing behind: "I want you to go out for a while."

Mu Shiqing said: "Master wants me to go to the Sword King Pavilion?"

Gu Pinglin appreciates his cleverness: "That's right, I already know Wu Jiansan and let him go back with you. You have to do two things on this trip. The first thing is that the Lingxin faction hires Feng and Yun from the Sword King Pavilion. , Wu three sword masters."

Mu Shiqing hesitated: "I'm afraid Pavilion Master Duan will not agree."

"So he will offer a bizarre price, and the Sword King Pavilion will not refuse business," Gu Pinglin said, "There are two thousand five-color coins here, how to negotiate is up to you, I believe you will not return empty-handed."

Two thousand five-color coins are enough to recruit hundreds of inner alchemy masters, but now they are only used to hire the three sword masters of the Sword King Pavilion, which is indeed a sky-high price.Mu Shiqing was slightly shocked, but stopped talking.

Gu Pinglin said: "Is there anything you want to say?"

Mu Shiqing told the truth: "This disciple thinks that if he wants to achieve his goal, he may not necessarily care about the business of the Sword King Pavilion, so he can directly reject us."

"You made a mistake. The only one who wants to achieve the goal is Wanfamen." Gu Pinglin paused, "And those who are passionate about games will definitely abide by the rules."

Mu Shiqing was still puzzled, but still nodded, and took the bag: "The second thing is..."

Gu Pinglin said: "Send an invitation on behalf of Uncle Bu. On the eighth day of the eighth month, Pavilion Master Duan is invited to be a guest of the Lingxin Sect."

Mu Shiqing took the order and went out to find Lan Feiyu.

Gu Pinglin looked outside the door, his expression unclear.
