Disciple's rebellion

Hearing Wang Zhen's voice, Ning Jie quickly put down the rag in his hand and walked from the house to the porch.

Mi Chen put down his hands and looked at Wang Zhen with doubts.

Although Mi Chen put down his hands, Wang Zhen was still worried, and hurriedly said, "Xianjun, wait a minute."

As he spoke, he quickly drove the boat to the shore, before he even had time to tie the boat, he jumped directly onto the verandah, and asked anxiously, "Xianjun, what did you want to do just now?"

Ning Jie heard the words and looked at Mi Chen.

Mi Chen shook his sleeves, and said in a low voice, "This water is formed by the diversion of rivers. If you want, this deity can help you change the road, which is no different from the usual road."

When Wang Zhen heard this, he was really in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Xianjun for your kindness, but this waterway is very convenient, so you don't need to bother Xianjun to change the route."

Mi Chen saw Wang Zhen being so respectful, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Ning Jie looked at Mi Chen, although his expression remained unchanged, doubts floated in his heart.

When Wang Zhen walked away, Ning Jie fell down the barrier, closed the door, handed Mi Chen a cup of tea, and asked, "Master, is there something wrong with this water?"

Mi Chen took the teacup and said, "Yes. The water, shape, and layout all have special meanings."

Ning Jie also noticed this.

He asked, "Is it related to Rushan's taboo?"

Mi Chen shook his head slightly: "I don't know."

There is simply too little information.

It's just waterways and awkward buildings, and it's impossible to deduce the meaning behind it.

Ning Jie thought of Wang Zhen's flustered actions and seriousness in saluting, and said, "Master, Wang Zhen seems to take it very seriously."

Wang Zhen had a hippie smile from the moment they met, as if nothing could enter his heart.

For him, no taboos or restrictions matter.

He just lives with his heart.

But when the master wanted to change the river course, he was extremely nervous, changed his usual incongruity, and unexpectedly followed the etiquette seriously.

Wang Zhen has perfect etiquette, and he wants to please Mi Chen, who is respectful, so that Mi Chen will give up this idea.

But he was too nervous, completely unaware that according to Mi Chen's cold personality, he would never do anything that would change the course without the owner's permission.

Mi Chen put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "It's true. Of course, it may be done on purpose."

Ning Jie was stunned for a moment, then asked immediately, "Master, is he doubting Wang Zhen?"

Ning Jie thought about it again, Gao Long also lured monks to visit Shangdang in the same way.

If Wang Zhen had some other purpose and couldn't speak out, he might make an unusual move to attract their attention and deliberately lead them to investigate further.

but……

Ning Jie asked: "Master, are we still looking for Master Uncle?"

He didn't forget that the reason he landed in Rushan this time was because the master sensed the aura of Elder Fulin.

When Mi Chen heard Ning Jie mention the state of return, his dark eyes trembled slightly.

Mi Chen narrowed his eyes and raised the table again to hide his expression, "His aura has been covered up."

Ning Jie was really startled.

Although Guijing is practicing medicine, there are no weak tigers in Liangling's sect. The spiritual power of the masters and uncles is so strong that if they are independent sects, the five sects are all from Liangling, and there is no way to sink other sects.

This kind of homeland has disappeared in Rushan. It is conceivable that there is really an "ancient god" hidden behind Rushan.

Ning Jie said in a heavy tone: "Master, is Master Uncle okay now?"

Mi Chen summoned the Cang Bi, pointed to the jade bi on it and said, "The jade bi is still intact, he is fine."

When Ning Jie saw Cang Bi, he remembered Du Cheng's words.

His eyes darkened for a moment, but he quickly concealed his thoughts, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "As long as the uncle is fine."

After finishing speaking, he continued to follow these words, looked at the jade on the Cangbi, and asked, "How did this piece of jade know about the health of my uncle?"

Mi Chen's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Ning Jie felt even heavier.

Ning Jie immediately searched for another topic, and said, "Why did the master name the fairy sword Cangbi?"

Mi Chen slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and replied: "This jade bi was inlaid by your master, and the name Cang Bi was given by the master." Speaking of this, Mi Chen blinked again , He continued: "It's not that you don't understand Master's temperament, the name Cangbi is definitely not something that Master can come up with."

After hearing this, Ning Jie's mood was not relieved, but even heavier.

Yes, he knows Master very well.

So seeing his eyelashes moving lightly, he knew that his master was lying, that his master... was hurting his feelings.

Ning Jie withdrew his temptation, and really started to change the subject and asked, "Master, are you going to visit Rushan City tonight?"

Mi Chen shook his head and said, "Don't worry." He raised his eyes slightly unconsciously, and looked at the two raised peaks above, "Take a good look here first."

Ning Jie followed Mi Chen's gaze.

This kind of mandarin duck pavilion is not uncommon in daily life, like in Du Cheng's mansion, he has seen quite a few.

This building is indeed somewhat strange, but the roof of the mandarin duck pavilion is of an ordinary style.

mandarin duck……

Ning Jie was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood.

From entering Rushan, it was the newlyweds who sewed the red satin together, and then there was the taboo about the bridegroom not seeing off guests related to the ghost bridegroom story.

These stories, these buildings, the only thing in common is love.

Perhaps, solving this mystery is related to some kind of love affair they don't know.

As if by God's help, something happened at night.

At night, Ning Jie called out the vines, and several fluorescent roses slowly bloomed.Ning Jie turned on the light, took out the book from the spirit bag and continued to read.

Seeing this, Mi Chen asked, "The history books of the Shui Shen faction?"

Ning Jie nodded: "Well, I borrowed it from Brother Li."

Mi Chen asked again: "All you read recently are history books?"

Hearing this, Ning Jie suddenly asked, "Master, what kind of books did you read before you became famous?"

Mi Chen thought about it carefully, and replied: "The first thing I came into contact with was the books about cultivation skills, and then I learned about the art of war, demons, and forbidden techniques in other places. Occasionally, I would read some local anecdotes."

Ning Jie closed it gently, a strange light flickered in his eyes.He said softly: "I thought the master was familiar with history books, so the disciple was in a hurry to study. I didn't expect that the master didn't like to read history when he was young."

Mi Chen felt something was wrong, he immediately raised his eyes to look at Ning Jie's.But what he saw from the inside was that Ning Jie was making fun of his intimacy.

Mi Chen had no choice but to let go of the doubts in his heart, and replied: "That's true. When I was young, apart from improving my cultivation, I liked to dabble in some strange people and strange things."

Ning Jie laughed and said: "The disciple finally knew why the master said that the green bamboo anger killed the monk in Hewu Lake. Did the disciple think that the official history would record such a thing before? It turns out that the master really came from the wild. historically."

Hearing what Ning Jie said, the slight discomfort and doubt in Mi Chen's heart dissipated instantly.

His brows and eyes relaxed slightly: "After all, it was a young age."

Before Ning Jie could reply, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Wang Daochang, the Jiang family is here to invite you."

Ning Jie and Mi Chen looked at each other, and they saw alertness in each other's eyes.

Behind most taboos is the fear of death. 1

As a dark heart-born ghost, when the moonlight is thicker, the vision becomes less clear, and the more difficult it is to see what is hidden in the depths of the night, so the eight channels of vision are directly blocked and passively increased.

At the same time, when vision gradually dissipates, hearing and touch are infinitely magnified, and people continue to fantasize based on sound and feeling, and their fear is greatly deepened.

...For various reasons, ordinary people seldom go out in the middle of the night.

There are only so many taboos about marriage in Rushan, and the taboos about the night must be no less than marriage.

In the middle of the night, hearing footsteps, a woman came alone.

weird!

"Immediately?" There was a trace of reluctance in Wang Zhen's deliberately pretending voice.

The woman on the opposite side also understood that she would offend Wang Zhen if she interrupted so late, she sighed and said, "Master Daoist, you have been in Rushan for such a long time, and you also know the temper of the Jiang family."

Now it was Wang Zhen's turn to sigh helplessly, and immediately remembered the rustling sound, presumably it was the sound of Wang Zhen getting dressed.

Wang Zhen fiddled with himself and replied, "Wait a moment."

"Xianzun, are we secretly following?"

It is Fu Song's sound transmission technique.

Mi Chen replied: "No need, we can go together."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ning Jie.

After hearing the sound transmission from Fu Song, Ning Jie picked up his robe from the hanger and began to put it on.

After Mi Chen returned, Ning Jie also finished tidying up.

After Ning Jie got Mi Chen's gaze, he opened the door and walked to the porch, and said to Wang Zhen who had just untied the boat rope, "Master Daoist, the night dew is heavy and dangers abound, do you need us to go together?"

Before Wang Zhen could reply, he heard the woman on the opposite side ask suspiciously: "Is there someone new here?"

Wang Zhen reacted very quickly, coughed lightly, and replied: "The ancients said that Taoists in the world belong to one family. What's more, they are poor brothers and sisters."

The woman laughed softly when she heard the words: "Since she is a fellow student of the Taoist priest, she will definitely be able to help the Taoist priest, and the mistress must be more at ease."

Wang Zhen knew that he must tell Ning Jie and the others about the Jiang family's situation, so that the Jiang family would need to be dismissed.

Wang Zhen then said, "Would you like to be together?"

The woman refused repeatedly after hearing the words: "How dare you walk with the Taoist priest. If you break the Taoist priest's Taoist deeds, the master will definitely blame you."

Wang Zhen was not surprised that the woman would refuse.

He took a red sachet from his sleeve, threw it to the other party, and said: "This evil belt is for you, go back first."

The woman was very pleasantly surprised when she got the sachet, she hurriedly said: "Thank you, Taoist priest, for giving me the talisman. That servant will go ahead and wait for the Taoist priest's arrival in Jiangfu."

Wang Zhen replied softly: "En."

After noticing that the woman had left, Mi Chen and the others also came out of the house.

Ning Jie turned his head and retreated behind Mi Chen.

At this time, the night wind blew up, and there was a bit of coolness on the neck.

Ning Jie took out a thin crane cloak from the spirit bag and put it on Mi Chen.

Mi Chen was naturally aware of Ning Jie's actions, but he was even more curious right now.

Mi Chen couldn't care about Ning Jie's actions, and asked, "The Jiang family?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhen immediately knew that Mi Chen wanted to ask about the identity and background of the Jiang family, so he quickly said, "Most of Rushan's surnames are Jiang, so Jiang's surname is the most expensive. Among them, the most expensive one is the Jiang family just now."

Mi Chen said again: "Why?"

It was the first time Wang Zhen encountered someone asking why this house was so expensive, and he was stupefied for a moment. He immediately raised his hand and scratched his head, and replied, "His ancestors were very expensive. As for why it is so expensive, it is not clear."

Mi Chen listened to the words and asked again: "It means today."

The most indispensable thing in this world is the light of the ancestors.

Like the Du family in Xuanbei, his family is important in Xuanbei because of the glory of their ancestors.

But no one has had glory.

If you want to be more expensive, it will naturally depend on recent years.

Wang Zhen pondered Mi Chen's meaning, and replied: "Oh, his family's status is now high, because only his family in Rushan can teach the people of Rushan to practice. At the same time, because their descendants are the most qualified in Rushan. , so that the whole Rushan takes the Jiang family as the most important thing."

Ning Jie asked without realizing it: "Since the Jiang family can teach the people how to practice, why..." He paused, thought for a while, and continued: "Why do you need to do something?"

Wang Zhen heard Ning Jie's implication.

The Jiang family is a self-cultivation sect, how could he not see that he is a second-guess.

Wang Zhen said with a sinister smile: "Of course there is a secret?"

Ning Jie smiled and said, "I mean, since there are practitioners in Rushan, why would there be a death for love?"

He didn't have too many doubts about the death of love before, mainly because he thought that there was no practitioner in Rushan, or there were, but like Gao Long, he figured it out by himself, it was not systematic, and he couldn't teach it to others.

But listening to what Wang really meant, it didn't seem to be the case.

It's not that he's dark-minded.

Since practicing, who doesn't seek immortality or the road to immortality?

With a cultivation base, one will naturally have the ability to resist taboos.

But yesterday's death for love vetoed this benign result again.

It's really weird.

Just as Wang Zhen was about to reply, he suddenly heard bells ringing in the distance.

Wang Zhen's scalp tingled for a while.

He hurriedly said: "Xiao Xianjun, let's get on the boat first. I will tell you everything when we get on the boat, is that okay? The Jiang family is not easy to mess with, so let's not miss the hour."

Mi Shen nodded, and stepped onto the boat with Ning Jie.

Not long after the boat sailed out, the well in front of the living room, illuminated by the moonlight, showed several human faces.

boom!

Suddenly, a stream of blood gushed out from the bottom of the well.

But when it falls, it sprinkles on the wellhead wall and the surrounding area, but it is clean water.

After the water fell, those faces disappeared at the moment when the bright moon was covered by dark clouds.

Only the surface of the well reflecting the moon and the slight movement of the water surface remains.
