There are bandits in Zhongshan

"They?" Zhong Mingzhu and Li Yang said at the same time, then, Zhong Mingzhu glanced at Li Yang, and pointed at the entrance of the secret room unceremoniously, "Fairy Changli and I have something to discuss, please avoid the patriarch Bar."

On other people's territory, he is so domineering, yet does not change his face, such a rampant person, Li Yang doesn't say he has experience, but he has never thought about it, he was stunned for a moment, probably because he was slow to react, the other party soon He made a repelling gesture, looking a bit impatient.As the head of the clan, she naturally wouldn't swallow her anger everywhere, but when she thought about the other party's cultivation level and her own situation, she could only restrain the anger that welled up in her heart.

She opened the secret room without saying a word, walked to the door, but was stopped again.

"Oh, by the way, so that you don't panic, I can find something for you to do first." Zhong Mingzhu smiled slightly, "What is the origin of that woman with a picture album over there? That picture book is from the mortal world. The things recorded are still the customs of the southern country, Zhuoguang Mountain can’t get these.”

Li Yang was a little confused, so he thought: Could it be that he wants to ridicule us again?

But because of Changli's face, she couldn't just slam the door and leave, so she could only say coldly: "She used to be a disciple of the high priest. I was accidentally captured back then, and she saved me regardless of safety. As for the album , her ancestors were foreigners who fled from the south to Zhuoguang Mountain, so it should be the relics of their ancestors."

Zhong Mingzhu gave a meaningful "oh", then walked slowly towards Li Yang, and whispered in her ear: "I remember, the last time you took in foreigners was thousands of years ago, right?"

"So what?" Li Yang vaguely sensed the other party's malicious intentions, so he couldn't help but tense up.

"Speaking of the Huozheng clan, many people are actually dissatisfied with the status quo and want to leave Zhuoguang Mountain?" Zhong Mingzhu lightly avoided her question, "After all, even if there is a fire source inside Zhuoguang Mountain, it is not a good idea after all. It’s an IKEA place. Day after day, year after year, some people must have been unable to bear this suffering.”

"What do you want to say!" Li Yang was stung by these words, and a trace of anger could not help showing on his face.

But she had to admit that the other party was right.

It is clearly the crime committed by the ancestors, why even the descendants have to pay for their freedom? The era of fire and blood is long gone, but today's clansmen are still living in the shadow of ancient times. They were born to be told to live in poverty all their lives. Guarding a sword, nothing else.All they could see were tumbling fires, dark rocks, and perpetual snowstorms.

How monotonous that is, how sad.

Because of this, 2000 years ago, after the high priest divined that there was a change in the sky, the young patriarch at that time would leave Zhuoguang Mountain without hesitation, even if the price was not a good death.

Once the people of the Huozheng tribe break their vows and give up the mission of protecting the sword, their bodies will gradually weaken.Most of the clansmen who left with the young patriarch at the beginning failed to step out of Shuoyuan, even if their cultivation base was deep enough to support them to leave, their time was running out.

Looking at Li Yang's expression, Zhong Mingzhu's eyes showed a hint of cruelty, his voice was extremely soft, but without any warmth: "What I want to say is that the mortal towns in the album were built more than 200 years ago, and the towns there The colorful carvings are unparalleled in the world.”

"What!" Li Yang's pupils shrank suddenly, and the blood on his face faded little by little, "How do you know?"

"Those monks are pretentious and look down on things in the mortal world, but I am different from them." Zhong Mingzhu shrugged indifferently, "But after all, this has nothing to do with me. This is the end of the conversation, please leave."

After finishing speaking, she directly pushed Li Yang out, and then threw out a few talismans to seal the secret room.

Chang Li had been watching her actions all the time, so he naturally heard her words. Seeing her turn around at this moment, he asked, "Why are you saying these things? Is there anything weird about that person?"

"People's hearts are unpredictable." Zhong Mingzhu sneered, "It is almost impossible for Yu Yuan to let Li Yang escape with so many cultivators who have transformed themselves into spirits, unless they did it on purpose."

Chang Li thought for a while, then thoughtfully said: "You suspect that woman is..." She suddenly stopped at this point, stopped thinking for a while before continuing: "Yu Yuan's eyeliner?"

She is quite unfamiliar with such things, so she has to figure out how to express it from time to time when describing it.

"That's right, if Yu Yuan promises to free them from the shackles of the Chongxiao Sword, some people will inevitably be tempted."

The town in the picture album was built 200 years ago, so it cannot come from the woman's ancestors, so people have to think carefully about where it came from.

Most monks don't understand the mortal world, so they can't see anything strange, and Li Yang and others are isolated from the world, so it's hard to know the details.

"However, it is also possible that those monks on Zhuoguang Mountain left behind, and she just picked it up. Forget it, let's not talk about it, anyway, Li Yang will handle it by himself." Zhong Mingzhu walked to the low couch where the wounded rested, Push away the things piled on top, clear the space and sit down, "Who are you talking about just now? They look similar to Jing Xin."

As soon as she heard that sentence, she understood what Changli was talking about, so she dismissed Li Yang.

"I saw someone who looked similar in the ancestral hall of Tianyi Peak." Changli said slowly, his eyes lowered, as if he was pondering over and over again to confirm, "It's my senior brother, that is, the first personal biography received by Master." Disciple, Jing Yu."

The well-preserved jade tablet will contain the disciple's life, and naturally his appearance will also be preserved. You can see it by exploring the jade tablet with spiritual power.Although Changli didn't deliberately look through it when he was in retreat, the overflowing spiritual power inevitably mixed with the spiritual power in the jade tablet, so he saw many deceased disciples.

Jing Yu died on Tiantai Peak, and the jade plaque was kept intact in the ancestral hall, probably because he was a sword cultivator with similar skills, so his appearance can be seen very clearly.

"He also has similar red hair, high nose and deep eyes, and darker complexion. He looks a bit like Jing Xin, but there are no patterns on his face, so I didn't think of it for a while."

Zhong Mingzhu's expression gradually became serious, and in the end, even the slightest smile disappeared, his complexion was ashen, as if covered with a layer of frost.

"Your senior brother, your senior brother..." She muttered, got up suddenly, paced back and forth in the room, chanting non-stop, her eyes gradually stained with bloodlust.

Seeing her like this, Changli couldn't help but feel a chill run from the soles of his feet to his spine.

"What's the matter with you?" She asked, but she was pulled away by a sudden force before she could leave her mouth.

Zhong Mingzhu held her wrist and pulled her in front of him. Before she could stand still, he pinched her chin and forced her to raise her head. Those shallow eyes that were always smiling did not show any emotion at this moment, but instead Showing emotions she couldn't understand.

——Examining and thinking almost indifferently.

"Long away, long away..."

Hearing her repeating his name over and over again, Chang Li felt his heart being pulled into the cold water little by little.

Zhong Mingzhu had called her more than once, in various tones, most of the time she was very gentle, occasionally angry, frustrated and even sarcastic, but no matter what, it didn't make her feel chilly.

Not like now.

It seems that they have nothing to do with each other, just looking at strangers.And the transformed man's face made that layer of alienation more obvious.

Even Changli couldn't help wondering whether the person in front of him exuding a murderous aura was actually Zhong Mingzhu.She twisted her wrist and found that she couldn't break free, so she raised her voice and said, "Let me go."

However, Zhong Mingzhu pretended not to hear her, and still stared at her intently, his cold gaze was like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, which made Changli feel a little fear in his heart.

"You..." She tried to question again, but before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that Zhong Mingzhu was not looking at her, but at the center of her brow.

In those indifferent shallow pupils, only that point of crimson was reflected, and those sharp arrow-like gazes passed through the long distance to a very far away place, and the thoughts stayed there, and the emotions in the pupils changed with the thoughts. stop,

Getting deeper.

"What's the matter..." The hand that pushed Zhong Mingzhu's chest turned to caress her eyebrows, she asked puzzled, "Is there anything here?"

Zhong Mingzhu still didn't speak, she suddenly let go of the hand that was pinching Changli's chin, and turned to press against her abdomen.

Chang Li immediately sensed the danger, so he couldn't help biting his lower lip hard, suppressing those churning emotions, and at the same time clasped his five fingers tightly, almost exhaling the sword.

She didn't know why Zhong Mingzhu became like this. This was the first time she felt intimidated by the other party, which she never had even when they met again.

Then, she heard Zhong Mingzhu sigh quietly.

"Li'er..." When the flames came on, Zhong Mingzhu returned to his original appearance. He let go of Changli's wrist, opened his arms to hug her, lowered his head, and buried his whole face into Changli's shoulder, "Should I What should I do, what should I do..."

The killing intent dissipated quietly, but at this moment she looked exhausted.

"What should I do?" Chang Li let her hold him, his expression confused, "What happened to you just now?"

Zhong Mingzhu shook his head and sighed softly.

For a moment, she had the idea of ​​pouring her spiritual power into Changli Linghai to find out what happened, as long as this was done, all doubts could be resolved.

Why did the Tianyi Sect arrange such an inhuman cultivation way for her, why did Yu Yuan become obsessed with her, and what is the relationship between her and the Huozheng clan...

But this may hurt Changli.

Zhong Mingzhu didn't know the consequences of forcibly breaking the seal.Maybe it will be unscathed, maybe it will just lose some spiritual power, maybe—the spiritual sea will collapse.

She didn't dare to gamble, even if she had a friend like Zhu Maolin who had amazing medical skills, even if the possibility of serious injury was actually very slim.

As long as there is a little risk, she dare not.

Raising her head from Changli's shoulders, she stared at the scattered spirit stones not far away, many thoughts flashed in her heart, and soon, she made a decision.

As long as she can stay away from the place of right and wrong, even Yu Yuan can't do anything about her.And the opening of the Sumeru Sea is just around the corner. Once five years pass, she will have to wait another 500 years. She has enough time to plan, and Changli also needs time to practice.She thought to herself: Although Li'er's talent is far superior to others, it is still difficult to be an enemy to them right now. In a hundred years, no one under Yu Yuan will be able to match her. as embarrassed.

But before that, there was one more thing to do—a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

"Li'er." She let go of her hand and backed away from Changli's body, only to see that Changli lowered his eyes and said nothing, his lips were tightly pursed, his brows were slightly raised, and his hands were hanging down by his side, clenched tightly, from head to toe Show alertness.She knew it was due to her actions just now, she immediately showed a sorry expression, carefully held Chang Li's hand over her heart, and said "I'm sorry".

Changli was still silent, Zhong Mingzhu guessed that she was waiting for him to explain, couldn't help but smiled wryly, and sighed in his heart: I don't even know where to start.

"Li'er, come here first." She dragged Chang Li to sit together on the low couch, seeing that Chang Li didn't say anything but didn't refuse, she was a little relieved, "Do you want to know why I did this just now?"

Chang Li still didn't speak, just nodded.

Zhong Mingzhu smiled when he saw this, and said: "I wanted to tell you after all the dust settled, but now that I think about it, when the dust settles, there are turmoil one after another. People like you and me say everything goes well." It's just a joke." She stopped and looked at Chang Li's reaction before continuing, "I did that just now because I suddenly had a guess, but if you want to confirm it, it may hurt you."

"What guess?" Chang Li finally spoke out.

"You are so similar to that woman, you may really be her reincarnation, or a member of the tribe." Zhong Mingzhu said seriously, "Although it is extremely difficult for the reincarnation of the soul to retain the characteristics of the previous life, the inheritance of blood will only be different from the ancestors as the older you get, But who can be sure, there will be no exceptions. Besides, you have defeated Chong Xiaojian twice, so it can be said to be closely related to it."

"But..." Chang Li bit his lip, a little suspicious, "Why did you just..."

Such guesses should have been made before Li Yang left.

"I was thinking about this possibility, but I was interrupted by you." Zhong Mingzhu said with a smile, "Then I thought that your name is Changli, Changli is a phoenix, and Li belongs to fire. That woman holding a lightsaber was enshrined in After the Emperor of Heaven, it's really good to be able to match." She saw that Chang Li was a little suspicious, and said, "Although the name is chosen by people, it is actually controlled by the way of heaven, just like the birthday."

"Then why are you looking at me like that?" Changli frowned, Zhong Mingzhu's explanation was reasonable, but she always felt that the other party was hiding something, but she couldn't tell why.

"If you are related to that woman, if you are related to the Zhuo Guangjian, then it is related to the power of the Heavenly Dao Sword." Zhong Mingzhu raised his head, sketched a dome, and then opened it with a move, "It's me, I can't help it." It's exciting."

"Heartbeat?"

Zhong Mingzhu's eyes darkened slightly, he glanced at Changli's eyebrows, and held her hand tightly, even with a low voice: "I want you to be used by me, to help me break through the boundaries and ascend."

"For your use..." Chang Xin trembled, and she suddenly remembered the reason why Zhong Mingzhu invaded Yunfu Mountain in the first place, and her chest immediately felt sore, "Is it because of this that Yuyuan wanted me? I heard that monks Want to fly."

She wanted to withdraw her hand, but she felt weak all over, and then found that her hand was trembling slightly.

Zhong Mingzhu noticed the slight struggle under her hands, but she didn't let go, instead she interlocked her fingers and said softly, "I'm not a sage, so I will naturally have greed." She sighed softly, turned her head, Noticing that Chang Li was staring at the front, his lower lip was almost bleeding from the bite, he felt distressed and unbearable, "But I am different from Yu Yuan, I will definitely not hurt you."

Chang Li closed her eyes, and said to herself: She said she would not hurt me, and I really believed it, but—these purple eyes born of blood suddenly appeared in her mind, and then she thought of Zhong Mingzhu has shown bloodthirsty cruelty more than once, the most recent time was just now.

If it was someone else, she would have drawn her sword when she sensed that coercion.

That's too dangerous, a little hesitation is life and death.

But because it was Zhong Mingzhu, she restrained the urge to draw her sword.

"When you were angry with Li Yang, other scenes flashed by in the fog." She opened her eyes, maintaining a calm tone as much as possible, "Behind Chong Xiao, there are countless blood and bones piled up, many people were born from it, they They all have purple eyes, and after you healed, your eyes turned purple." She looked at Zhong Mingzhu, and all the emotions in her black eyes were hidden deep: "Can you tell me? Why do your eyes and They are the same."

Zhong Mingzhu is definitely not a kind person——Shimen’s instructions came to her ears again. She was ignorant at first and acted entirely on her mind, but with the experience of these days, something seemed to wake up in her heart. The clear good and evil, right and wrong, become more and more clear.

"So there are still these in the scroll..." Zhong Mingzhu smiled wryly, "I really should listen to Lu Lin and learn to control my temper, so you have been so stern before, is it because you saw those?"

Changli let out a "hmm", and then felt her hand was loosened, and her heart sank suddenly.

Zhong Mingzhu held her wrist again, calmly and calmly: "Actually, I did this to protect myself, but since you have doubts, I can't continue to hide it." She said, Chang Li's hand moved to his dantian, and then he showed a malicious smile: "Speaking of which, I wasn't lying to you that day, it was indeed a talent. Why don't you come and see how my cultivation is now. "

Zhong Mingzhu's behavior is always unexpected, and Chang Li didn't care about being surprised, hesitating for a moment, and then released a little spiritual power.

Usually, judging a monk's cultivation is mostly based on the aura emitted by the opponent, or the power felt during the fight, which can only be roughly estimated. If you want to probe in detail, you must perceive the opponent's spiritual sea.But often monks will not allow other people's spiritual power to break into their own spiritual sea, after all, doing so is equivalent to putting the door of life in the hands of others, which is not good for themselves.

Changli has seen Zhong Mingzhu make a move, and he has also seen her demeanor without changing her face when she is at a disadvantage. Such strength is rare even among the cultivators of Huashen.She thought to herself: It is probably because she has not cultivated enough to transform into a god, so she is able to do so with ease.I don't know why she made such an unnecessary move and asked me to check, is there still a mystery hidden?

The next moment, she opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and lost her voice: "You? Why did this happen?"

And Zhong Mingzhu was already leaning on her shoulder, laughing softly:

"Is it surprising, I didn't lie to you, it's really a talent, innate."
