Reborn Enemy

Yan Sen couldn't catch up for a while, but the three of them received a letter from Jiang Ruoxu and others on the way. Gu Pinglin didn't dare to delay for a moment, thinking that something important had happened. Gu Pinglin discovered that the Penglai Palace had been put away, and the number of people in the camp was wrong.

Gu Pinglin immediately looked for Duan Qingming.

Duan Qingming stood alone on the driftwood, still looking leisurely and calm, not like standing in the black water, but like a young man traveling in spring.

Seeing the return of the three of them, everyone was very excited.

"Everyone is here, let's go!" Xin Ji couldn't sit still for a long time, and kept urging.

"You are finally back," Nanzhu strode over with a slightly excited expression, "I found a stone island over there."

In just a few sentences, Gu Pinglin has roughly figured out the situation.

Qi Wan'er and those monks from the Qi family were not there, Jun Muzhi and others from Penglai were also gone, but there were quite a few people from the Lingxin sect, all of them were waiting here, including Qu Lin, Xin Ji and Yao Feng who were with them.

Gu Pinglin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't ask further: "Go and have a look."

Everyone is ready to go, and they leave immediately without delay after hearing the words.

The second son of the Ji family, Ji Chengfang and Qu Lin, were injured, both of them were riding a crane. Ji Chengfang's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to his younger sister Ji Qiniang's, and he was very kind. His injury has recovered, and he was talking to Ji Qiniang with a smile .In the absence of Jun Muzhi, Bu Shuihan still followed Qu Lin silently, watching every move of Ming Gong and Daughter nervously.

On the way, Nanzhu briefly explained what happened. It turned out that Qi Waner took Yao Feng out for a stroll to hide from Ji Qiniang, and accidentally discovered a stone island.Since entering the sea, everyone has never seen land all the way. This discovery immediately led to various conjectures. Because the master Gu Pinglin was not there, and the disciples in the sect had always advanced and retreated together, Jiang Ruoxu and the others did not act rashly even though the interests were at hand, Qu Lin was docile in nature, Cheng asked her to follow Duan Qingming, of course she had to be obedient, Yao Feng, on the other hand, rejected Qi Wan'er's invitation, and insisted on staying and waiting with everyone from the Lingxin Sect. After Bu Shuihan found out, he praised him for his righteousness.

The so-called "Stone Island" is probably the group of reefs.Gu Pinglin knew it in his heart, but he was not in a hurry. Don't say that outsiders don't know the entrance mechanism. Even if the entrance is opened, it is not so easy to obtain the inheritance. He can see this clearly, and Duan Qingming can also.

The Penglai guards opened the way ahead, and the small monsters along the way felt the coercion and ran away one after another. Everyone did not encounter any attack. About half an hour later, a shadow appeared on the Black Sea ahead.

Gu Pinglin smiled slightly when he saw the black reef group.

After following Li Gui's clues for so long, it was unexpected that it would appear in this way.

Gu Pinglin voice transmission: "Brother Zhou, things are right in front of us, seize the opportunity."

Zhou Yi's eyes flickered twice, his face was still expressionless, and his arms holding the sword tightened slightly.

Looking down from the air, Black Reef Island is not big, with a radius of more than ten miles. The water, sky, and stone are all the same color. It is really not easy to find this island with the eyes of ordinary people.The monks of the Qi family and the Penglai guards had already arrived, and Qi Wan'er and Jun Muzhi were waiting on the shore with two people each.

Yao Feng went over and asked, "How?"

Qi Wan'er ignored him, and greeted Ji Chengfang's siblings: "Brother Ji, miss Ji."

Ji Qiniang blushed slightly, and in front of so many people, she reservedly returned the salute.

Ji Chengfang clasped his fists and said: "I heard that the thirteenth son of Qi is a promising young man. Ji Er is very grateful for being rescued this time. It was inconvenient to move before, so I couldn't thank you personally. I hope you will forgive me."

Temperament belongs to temper, after all Qi Wan'er was brought up by a family member, under the watchful eyes of the public, she behaved flawlessly and showed her manners everywhere, he said politely: "It is fate to meet each other, my grandfather and father are old acquaintances, brother Ji? You are welcome."

"I saw you today, brother Qi is well-deserved." The Northern Qi family is the head of the family in the northern world. Seeing that he called himself brother, Ji Chengfang followed suit with confidence. He first praised him and then smiled at his sister, "It is indeed destined. "

Ji Qiniang bowed her head hurriedly.

Ming Gongnv covered her mouth with a chuckle, and followed suit: "It's just a good relationship."

Nanzhu is not afraid to watch the excitement: "It's a good match, but also a romantic relationship, there is always no shortage of matchmakers here."

Everyone laughed: "What Young Master Nan said is that any random one is a testimony."

With a pretty face, Ji Qiniang was smart and generous, knowing that everything she said would be laughed at at this moment, so she simply bowed her head and retreated behind her brother.

Gu Pinglin looked at Nanzhu who was full of interest, he couldn't laugh or cry, Ji Qiniang was his wife, but now he came to tease Ji Qiniang and Qi Wan'er, if he remembered his previous life, I don't know what it would be like.

Of course Nan Zhu couldn't remember anything, Qi Wan'er was the one who felt the most uncomfortable at the moment, he had no intentions for Ji Qiniang, and his upbringing didn't allow him to refuse to embarrass Ji Qiniang in public, so he could neither deny nor reveal anything With a look of dissatisfaction, he was immediately blocked and uncomfortable.

Duan Qingming smiled and added to his embarrassment: "The family background is similar, the matchmaker and witnesses are all ready, why should my cousin hesitate."

Qi Wan'er had a flash of inspiration: "You guys are joking, why are you in a hurry, like our Qi family and Ji family, the elders have always decided the major affairs of the children in the family." After finishing speaking, he took the opportunity to sarcasm, "Could it be that the Duan family in Nanjie is different? ?”

Duan Qingming said: "I'm your cousin, it's okay to replace your mother to make decisions for you, what kind of family is the Ji family, this beautiful thing, presumably uncle will approve of it."

Qi Wan'er raised her chin: "I only have a cousin, not a cousin."

"Hey, Wan'er, it makes me sad when you say that."

"What did you call me, what's your name!" Qi Wan'er exploded on the spot, drawing her sword and pointing at him, "Speak nonsense!"

Without waiting for Duan Qingming to say more, Yao Feng suddenly asked, "How is the situation on the island?"

Qi Wan'er mentioned the words of the elders, and Ji Qiniang was also afraid that he would think she was frivolous, so she quickly gestured to her elder brother, and then changed the subject: "Yes, what did you find?"

All joking aside, everyone is most concerned about the situation on the island at the moment. After hearing the words, they all got back to business and asked questions one after another.Jun Muzhi waved back a guard who came back to report, and shook his head towards Nanzhu: "The island is full of stones, there is nothing special about it."

Nanzhu was not disappointed, and waved his hands: "If the ancestor really set up a mechanism here, how could it be easy for people to find out, don't worry."

"Young master Nan is right," Ji Chengfang said, "There are not many people coming to the north, and others can't find it here for a while, so let's find it slowly."

Gu Pinglin just needed a reason to stay, so he agreed with him.

This trip was originally just a matter of chance, and it really took a few days. After thinking about it, everyone relaxed and dispersed, settling down, checking and checking.

The pearl was suspended in the sky, and everyone was busy with division of labor. Duan Qingming sat down on a clean stone not far away, and took out a book leisurely, without any eagerness.

Xin Ji was very anxious, and couldn't hold back when he saw this, "I'll go check it out first."

"Slow down," Duan Qingming raised the scroll and signaled him to come back, "Your mission seems to be to take care of my nephew Ganli, when did it become a pathfinder?"

Xin Ji stomped his feet: "My life is in your hands, why don't you worry about it!"

Duan Qingming said: "That's right, it's mine if I find it, why are you in a hurry."

"I'm anxious for you, my lord," Xin Ji sighed again and again, looked left and right, leaned in and said in a low voice, "We can't let them get ahead."

"Well, I'm not in a hurry," Duan Qingming opened the book, "so you'd better watch Xiao Ganli obediently."

Xin Ji was so angry that his beard turned up. After all, he didn't dare to disobey Duan Qingming's order, so he could only grunt resentfully, and went to sit and sulk.

Duan Qingming turned a blind eye and leaned on the stone to read quietly.

Gu Pinglin didn't believe that Duan Qingming would be honest. He planned to find the sword stone mechanism, but he was worried about leaving Bu Shuihan and Qu Lin with this person, and it was difficult to explain the mechanism with the two of them. , so Gu Pinglin weighed it a bit, turned around and said, "Senior brother Duan is free, so you might as well go check it out with me."

"It's rare to take a break, and I have no time to be idle." Duan Qingming complained to Chaobu Shuihan with a smile, closed the scroll, got up and walked to Gu Pinglin's side.

Gu Pinglin gave Bu Shuihan a few words, and then left with Duan Qingming.

Here, Qi Wan'er was afraid of being entangled by Ji Qiniang, and pretended to investigate the situation on the island. He left the crowd, entered the reefs alone, and found a secluded place to meditate.

Yao Feng looked for it.

Qi Wan'er glanced at him, then closed her eyes again.

Yao Feng walked up to him and called out, "Brother Qi."

"Who is your brother?" Qi Wan'er said coldly with a sullen face, "My surname is Qi, and I am the thirteenth son of the Northern Qi clan. There is only one older sister in my family, so where is the brother? You can count on me to make friends with you..." Suddenly remembered The Yao family was more famous, so he shut up in embarrassment and snorted softly.

Yao Feng said in a deep voice, "It's not good for you to be so angry."

Qi Wan'er opened her eyes suddenly, and said angrily: "What's wrong with you, who is wronged!"

Yao Feng sternly taught him: "If you are impetuous, you will suffer sooner or later."

Qi Wan'er doesn't have any real brothers, because she is spoiled by her patriarch and grandfather Qi Zhen, even her parents don't dare to scold him too much. Hearing this, she couldn't hold back her temper: "You only came out to see for a few days, but you came to teach me a lesson!" He sneered. , stood up suddenly, "Whether I suffer or not, it has nothing to do with you."

After speaking, he flicked his red cloak and walked away with his head held high.

Many places on the island are still half-submerged, with no signs of human excavation. There are jagged rocks, some of which are several feet above the water, and walking among them is like a maze.

Gu Pinglin watched carefully while walking, while Duan Qingming looked like he was out for a walk. There was no road, and the two of them stepped forward on uneven stones, and they managed to maintain a parallel posture. No one was behind. , all looked calm.Since Qu Lin was injured, the two did not deliberately distance themselves, and got along as usual, but the atmosphere was inexplicably cold, as if separated by an invisible barrier.

"What are you looking for?"

"A strange stone shaped like a sword."

"Aren't you afraid to let me know?"

"Would you care about this?" Gu Pinglin smoothly dealt with the monster snake that sprang out from the crevice of the stone, without stopping.No matter how good these inheritances are, they can't compare to "The Jue of Creation" and "The Jue of Butian". It's not that Gu Pinglin is conceited. Pay attention to those inheritances, let alone Duan Qingming who doesn't even pay attention to "The Art of Creation".

"That's right," Duan Qingming said, "Then, what about you?"

Gu Pinglin said frankly: "I have three goals. One is to complete the deal with Tiancanmen; the other is to obtain something for Ganli; the third is to open this mechanism and complete the next step, so that good fortune can be passed on to the present world."

"You already have the Art of Creation."

"Sooner or later, the inheritance of fortune will be discovered. I must seize the opportunity to prevent the art of fortune from falling into the hands of others. Instead of waiting for others to open it, it is better to do it myself." Gu Pinglin made no secret of his calculations.

Duan Qingming continued for him: "The Art of Creation is now in the world, so it can only be controlled by the Lingxin faction. You have really worked hard for the Lingxin faction."

"For me, nothing is more important than the Spiritual Pie."

"Show me your weaknesses, what do you want to say?" Duan Qingming looked at him with interest, "Invitation? It's too much against my will. I thought Bu Shuihan was the brother you wanted."

"You too."

"Oh——" Duan Qingming said with a smile, "Then you look for it here, and I will take Bu Shuihan and Qu Lin to the south, how about it?"

Gu Pinglin remained silent.

Duan Qingming said: "You don't trust senior brother."

"Why did you ever care about us?" Gu Pinglin sneered.I can't trust it because I understand too deeply. Except for Qu Lin, this person has never believed or cared about anyone in the previous life. risk of life.

"So, you actually want me to leave."

Gu Pinglin did not deny it.

Duan Qingming stopped: "Are you really willing to give up an opponent like me?"

Not only reluctance, but also unwillingness.Gu Pinglin clenched his fists in his sleeves, and said calmly, "There is nothing to give up."

"That's sad."

sad?Gu Pinglin sneered slightly.

The red shadows at the end of the eyes deepened a little, and a dark color flashed across the eyes. Duan Qingming brushed off the mud on his shoulders: "It seems that you have to hope that I will lose interest in you earlier."

Gu Pinglin was somewhat proud of being his opponent in his previous life, but now that he heard this, even though he had already made a choice, Gu Pinglin was still a little dazed, and his steps froze.

When I looked again, Duan Qingming had already walked to the front, and the white back was still calm.

It turns out that emotions will still be affected by this person.Gu Pinglin realized this, calmed down quickly, and fully focused on the business. However, the two walked for several hours and searched almost the entire reef island, but still did not see the shadow of the sword stone. Gu Pinglin was quite surprised.

The island is as described in the rumors, and Li Gui is haunting nearby, so it is reasonable to say that there will be no mistakes. Could it be that the rumors are wrong?

Gu Pinglin casually supported a rock, frowned, lost in thought, while Duan Qingming stood beside him with his hands behind his back and looked at him without speaking.

Suddenly——

The ground shook violently, and the whole island seemed to be shaking. With the sound of breaking the sky and rocks, water droplets splashed from the sky!

"Huh?" Gu Pinglin waved his hand to block the water droplets, raised his face slightly, his eyes were sharp, "Go back!"

Zixiu flicked away the black cloak, bringing a cold wind sound, and in a blink of an eye, the person disappeared from the spot.

Duan Qingming stood for a moment, then fled.
