There are bandits in Zhongshan

Ye Chenzhou was walking up and down restlessly in the other hall of the owner's house in Yanluo City, Yunzhong. At this time, he no longer had the spirited look he had not long ago, his face was lacking in blood, and his fatigue was evident.Mu Yun stood beside him, bowed his head and remained silent.

Changli's sword was aimed at the black shadow, Ye Chenzhou was only affected, but just like that, he broke his cultivation base for hundreds of years, and once he retreated before returning to Yunzhong City, he was even worse than before. serious.His divine essence was damaged, and it could not be cured by Yunzhongcheng's pills and medical skills. Not only was his skill greatly inferior to before, but his life essence was also depleted.

Not long ago, he was still standing on the top of the righteous way, enjoying the supreme glory, and exaggerating the prestige of Yunzhong City to the extreme, but now he is like a bereaved dog, who can only hide in Yanlu City. Once he leaves the place protected by the enchantment, any chemical God monks can have a chance to kill him.

If he hadn't controlled the Yunshen's treasury and the five spiritual veins, and Ye Lianxi couldn't return to Yunzhong City because he was hunted down by Baili Ningqing, he might have lost his power.It's just that now Baili Ningqing has abandoned Ye Lianxi and instead robbed him, making him restless all the time.

"Where are people! Have you found that merman!" He suddenly shouted to the outside.

As soon as the voice fell, a subordinate rushed in, knelt down and said, "I report to the city lord, I haven't found it yet."

After learning about Changshengyin and its medicine from Muyunna, he sent someone to arrest Ruoye, but Ruoye escaped first under Muyun's arrangement. yeah.

Not long after, members of the Tianyi sect suddenly started walking down the mountain, making friends with various sects, and there was a great potential for revival. He sent someone to inquire, and learned that Changli had recovered. Zhu Maolin brought a elixir to Tianyi sect a few months ago , Soon after, Changli recovered. He was convinced that the elixir was what Mu Yun called the Longevity Yin, so he searched for Ruoye's whereabouts even more vigorously, and his temper became more and more irritable day by day.

"Get out! If you can't find it anymore, use your inner alchemy." He chopped off a corner of the table at hand with his palm, and his eyes were bloodshot under the rage.

"Yes!" The subordinate replied tremblingly, and then crawled out.

Ye Chenzhou has always treated his staff well. He never loses his temper indiscriminately, nor treats them as disposable tools like Ye Lianxi, so his subordinates have always been loyal.

But now he has changed from his previous kindness and generosity, as if he was taken away by some tyrannical person.However, Mu Yun knew that he had finally revealed his true nature just at the end of his life.

Back then, after Ye Chenzhou was seriously injured by Lu Lin, in order to preserve his power in Yunzhong City, he took a fancy to Mu Yun, who looked similar to his lower half face, and asked her to pretend to be himself. A woman, unable to practice the Yangzhao Sutra, has nowhere to go in the huge cloud city, so she can only follow his orders.She was willing to help him at first, until Ye Chenzhou threatened her mother's life and carved a blood curse on her body - he was afraid that the person pretending to be himself would threaten him.

Mu Yun could accept his suspicion, but he couldn't accept that he had no choice. Ye Chenzhou was afraid that she would take away Yunshen's treasury and spiritual veins, but he didn't allow her to refuse assistance.

After engraving the blood mark, she could only look up to Ye Chenzhou. Who would be willing to be a slave?

She raised her eyes slightly, saw the fear in Ye Chenzhou's eyes, and couldn't help but let out a sneer in her heart: Although this man has inherited a powerful bloodline and controls a cloud god's treasury with countless treasures, his essence is just a villain who just happens to be in power.

Suddenly there was a strong force on her neck, and she was forced to raise her head to meet Ye Shenzhou's eyes that seemed to be breathing fire.

"Find her, that shark." He stared into her eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Where is she!"

"I don't know." She opened her mouth uncontrollably, saying what she knew in her heart, without any falsehood.

Ye Chenzhou's face became more and more gloomy: "Then you call her back, you must have a way to call her back."

"I haven't." Mu Yun replied in an unusually calm tone, "I told her that even if I send a signal to tell her to come back, she must not come back."

As soon as the words fell, she was thrown heavily on the ground, and Ye Chenzhou kicked down another chair, as if to smash the whole room into pieces.

This situation has been repeated countless times, and Mu Yun even sent out signals several times under Ye Chenzhou's order, but every time it was in vain.She knew how Ye Chenzhou would deal with her, so she cut off the way first.

She didn't know where Ruoye was, and there was no way to find her back.Ye Chenzhou didn't dare to announce the news of Changshengyin to the world, for fear that others would compete with him, so the only people who are currently searching for Ruoye are the people from Yunzhong City. Exposure trail.

It's just that Mu Yun also doesn't know when such days will end.

Although she sent a letter to Zhong Mingzhu, she didn't have any expectations at that time. At that time, it was impossible for Zhong Mingzhu to leave the long distance.But when she heard that Chang Li had recovered, although she was skeptical, there was a glimmer of hope in her heart.Looking forward to Ruoye meeting Zhong Mingzhu, when she left Yunzhong City, she wanted to ask Ruoye to join Tianyi Sect, but at that time, the gate of Tianyi Sect was locked and no one could enter, so she could only call Ruoye herself hide.

I don't know if there will be a turning point, but maybe before that, he has already killed me in a fit of anger, she thought, but this kind of thought can make her relax a little bit, because in this case, Ruoye doesn't need to be afraid If you are afraid of feet, you can avenge her and return to the East China Sea.She thought again: She has been with me on land for more than [-] years, and she went back here only because of Bahuangjing. At that time, she was in a critical situation, and she came and went in a hurry.

Although sharks live long, 500 years is not too short.

She sighed softly.

In the Black Water Ridge, Ruoye leaned against a tree, frowned, stomped her feet, exuding obvious impatience. Several times, she turned around and wanted to go back to the city, but each time she stepped out a few times. Stop after a step.

Before leaving, Mu Yun repeatedly warned her not to be impulsive, otherwise everything would be in vain.That's why she hid in Heishui Ridge. The forest here is dense and it is easy to hide her tracks. As long as there are monks around, she will immediately flee away, so she has not been discovered so far.

"Ayun...what should I do..." After much deliberation, she couldn't think of any way to help Mu Yun, and in the end she could only helplessly cover her face and murmur like crying.

Suddenly, a bird flew over and pecked heavily on the back of her hand. She was already full of anger, and immediately got angry from her heart, and grabbed the bird with her hands.

It was a red tit. Mo Mo didn't expect that she would suddenly slap her fiercely, and she couldn't dodge it. A few feathers were ripped off immediately.

"Ah! Pain, pain, pain!" The tit screamed at the top of its lungs, but it was the voice of a young man. He fell down with his wings in his arms, and before he fell to the ground, he turned into a young man in red with a talisman on his forehead. , it was this talisman that helped him hide his demonic aura, so that Ruoye didn't notice it in advance. At this moment, he was holding his arms, panting for air-conditioning and kept jumping, looking really distressed.

"Huh?" Ruoye recognized that it was Akabane, and the anger that was about to erupt suddenly subsided, "You...why are you here..." She asked with a guilty conscience.

Another black tit rushed over and landed on her head, pawed twice, and shouted: "Bad woman, bad woman! This is too much, my brother has worked so hard to find you, how could you treat him like this! "

"It's brother." Akabane did not forget to correct him while gasping.

Now she knew who it was without even thinking about it. While Xuan Yu was still chattering, she reached out with two fingers and pinched her down. Xuan Yu immediately jumped up, desperately trying to fly away, but she held her tightly. She frowned and said, "Are you looking for me? What happened? Did something happen to Ayun!"

At the end of the conversation, before Xuan Yu said anything, she became anxious, and the strength in her hands accidentally increased, so angry that Xuan Yu began to peck her fingers hard.

"Hey, you've pinched her so hard, how can you expect her to answer your questions." Zhong Mingzhu's voice came suddenly, and in the next moment, Ruoye saw three figures piercing through the mist in the forest appear in front of you.

It was Zhong Mingzhu, Changli, and Baili Ningqing. Baili Ningqing was at the end, giggling. Xuanyu often bickered with her. This time she suffered a loss, which made her very unhappy.

Ruoye was stunned, then let go of her hand, Xuanyu pecked her again, and then flew away in a huff, directly onto Changli's collar, Changli held her head and rubbed it, she immediately squinted her eyes and rubbed her head. Rubbing Changli's face, he said with emotion: "It's better, Miss, is your health better, please help me teach that bad woman a lesson!"

Chang Li smiled slightly, but shook his head.

The hair on the top of Xuanyu's head trembled, and then he leaned against Changli and said: "Oh, I know that Miss Sister has a good heart, and she is different from some people." At this time, Chiyu also changed back to the appearance of a tit, and squeezed to Xuanyu's side He pecked Changli's fingertips affectionately, and said: "Miss sister, Xuan Yu and I are very worried about you, but the Lord said we were too noisy, so we are not allowed to see you." He was complaining.

Zhong Mingzhu said unhappily: "If I knew it earlier, I would have let you go, then sealed your mouths, and suffocated you to death." As she spoke, she held one in each hand, and threw the two demon cultivators from Changli's shoulders.

Xuanyu and Chiyu landed on the ground, changed back to human form, stuck out their tongues, and said in unison: "Oh, my lord is so fierce."

"Thank you." Changli said with a smile, she heard Zhong Mingzhu mention it when she was half awake, and she put the fruit weaving grass sent by Xuanyu Chiyu beside her pillow.

The next moment, the hand was suddenly held, but it was Ruoye who strode over.

"Changli? How are you?" She looked at Changli in surprise and joy. Before seeing Changli appearing, she was still a little confused. After all, she had witnessed the severity of Changli's injuries. Changli's condition is not very good, how could he recover so quickly, after listening to the conversation between the two tits and Changli, she felt relieved, but she frowned quickly, "No, you..."

She has a high level of cultivation, so she can naturally realize that Chang Li is not a cure, but has imprisoned the remnant soul in the body. Realizing the consequences of this, a look of worry appeared on her face.

Zhong Mingzhu signaled that she didn't need to panic: "It's still an expedient measure at the moment, but a way has been found."

"Really?" Ruoye said happily, and then his eyes dimmed for a moment.Xindao: If Changli has recovered, I can ask them to help Ayun, but this is an expedient measure, and they have already found a way, most of the way here is for that way, how can they have the time to care about other things .

She wanted to ask Zhong Mingzhu for help, but felt that it was difficult for her, so her expression was uncertain, and a cloud of sadness quickly formed between her brows.

"Aren't you going to tell her?" Baili Ningqing looked at Zhong Mingzhu, then at Ruoye, and asked curiously, "Just watch her change face?"

"It looks very interesting, so I just watched it for a while." Zhong Mingzhu laughed, and seeing Ruoye's puzzled look, she stopped being tricky and said frankly, "That method happens to have something to do with Yunzhongcheng, we Then come over and grab Muyun by the way."

Zhong Mingzhu's method was very straightforward. She first asked Fenghailou to spread the news that Changli was cured by the immortal medicine, and when almost half of the cultivation world knew about it, she took Changli and went to Yan Lucky City, arrived at Ye Chenzhou with a greeting card, saying: She wants to make a deal.

Ye Chenzhou thought about it for more than ten days, and finally agreed. During these ten days, he felt that his cultivation had become weaker.What the sword gave him was not a wound, but a continuous loss of life.

Zhong Mingzhu's condition is very simple, exchange three spiritual veins with the Longevity Yin.

"I only have five spiritual veins, but you want more than half of them. It's really a lion's mouth." Ye Chenzhou sneered.

"Can these five spiritual veins save you?" Zhong Mingzhu laughed, "If you die, let alone five, even fifty, you can only hand it over to others."

With just a few words, Ye Chenzhou's heart was moved. Maybe he was already moved the moment he saw the deal. He was delaying time, just wanting to increase his bargaining chips.

But facing Zhong Mingzhu, he didn't dare to take it lightly: "Give me the medicine first, and when I recover, I will give you the three spiritual veins."

"I want it now." Zhong Mingzhu rebuffed straight away, "Longevity will not work overnight, and Li'er is only recovering now. As for mana, it will take hundreds of years of recuperation to recover." She said and pulled it away. Chang Li smiled at her, "I want these spiritual veins, one of which is to make Li'er recover quickly, but if it takes hundreds of years, I don't need it."

Ye Chenzhou looked at Changli, his cultivation base was greatly reduced, not as good as Ruoye who could see the details at a glance, he only said that not long ago, Changli was dying, even though he defeated him, he also fell down with bleeding all over his body, looking like he would be completely broken at any moment , but now his complexion is quite good, presumably he has taken the medicine of resurrection, but he really can't rest assured: "If I hand over the three spiritual veins, but you go back on your word, what should I do?"

"It's simple, we can make a covenant, the covenant of heaven." Zhong Mingzhu smiled easily, "I will not go back on my word, nor will I hurt you, not only me, but also everyone else, Li'er, Lu Lin, Bai Li Ningqing, Mr. Zhu, they won't touch you at all."

"Don't hurt me?" Ye Chenzhou's eyes suddenly darkened.

"Yeah, not only won't hurt you, but I won't try to plan the remaining two spirit veins." Zhong Mingzhu said with a smile, "What you're worried about is that if we seize the spirit veins, it will be detrimental to Yunzhongcheng. Once the Alliance of Heaven and Dao is formed, there will be no worries."

"I'm injured now, why don't you just grab it?"

"With the caution of City Lord Ye, only you know the whereabouts of the key of the spirit veins. Even if we kill you, it will be a waste of energy." At this point, Zhong Mingzhu's smile suddenly became colder, "But we It is true that he took advantage of the injury of City Lord Ye to take advantage of the fire."

Now that she has spoken out about her ambition, Ye Chenzhou no longer suspects that she has ulterior motives.He didn't ask her why she wanted a spiritual vein. There was no need to ask. In the cultivation world where cultivation base determines everything, there is no monk who does not dream of owning a spiritual vein, or even more.He was able to step into the realm of transforming gods with less than a thousand years of practice by relying on the endless spiritual stones in his spiritual veins.

"Don't hurt me?" he mused. "You don't hurt me, all of you?"

"Yes." Zhong Mingzhu said, and then led Changli out, "If you have an answer, send it to Tianyi School, and I will stay here for a month."

Mu Yun stood guard outside, and when passing by, Zhong Mingzhu didn't even glance at her.

One month was fleeting, and at dusk on the last day, Ye Chenzhou handed over a letter, saying that he agreed to trade with Zhong Mingzhu, but Lu Lin and others had to swear first that it would not be detrimental to him and Yunzhongcheng.

Lu Lin and Baili Ningqing had been guarding in Yanyu City, so they copied it carelessly. Zhu Maolin appeared a few days later. Then I received an invitation from Ye Chenzhou.Like the last time, she brought Chang Li together.

Mu Yun still guarded the door, she watched Zhong Mingzhu and Changli go in, but she still couldn't figure out their intentions.

She even wanted to remind them that once the oath was made, they could not hurt Ye Chenzhou, but Ye Chenzhou could hurt them in turn, but because of Ye Chenzhou's order, she could only keep silent.

She felt that with Zhong Mingzhu's meticulousness, she would never make such a mistake, but Ye Chenzhou felt that anyone could become impulsive because of the three spiritual veins, and even if Zhong Mingzhu had other plans, once the bond of heaven was formed , It is beneficial to him but not harmful.As long as he recovers his cultivation, it will be a matter of time before he regains the two spiritual veins in Ye Lianxi's hand. By then, he will have the upper hand again.

Another reason that prompted him to make up his mind was that his health seemed to be getting worse again, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Mu Yun listened to the conversation in the room, feeling anxious but helpless. She heard Zhong Mingzhu and Changli make an oath, and then they exchanged secret keys and medicine. Not long after, Zhong Mingzhu took Changli away come out.

But this time, she smiled at Mu Yun, and said softly: "I can't give you Yunzhong City, you can only find a way by yourself, but before that, I can lend you something."

Afterwards, Chang Li raised his hand and gently pushed her behind her back, pushing her into the room. At that moment, she felt something rupture in her blood.

That was the sound of the shackles falling to the ground.

Ye Chenzhou held the Changsheng Yin, immersed in secret joy, Zhong Mingzhu swore that it was true, it must be true.Not only can he survive, but he can also be fearless under the protection of the alliance of heaven and earth. One day, he will fight Lu Lin again, and he will definitely not be the one who is seriously injured and defeated.

He was about to take the first medicine, when the doorway was darkened suddenly, but it was Mu Yun who walked in. She walked very slowly, her face was serious, and there was a little bit of disbelief in her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Chenzhou turned cold. He still hated Mu Yun's tricks. If he didn't want to use her to find Ruoye and control Zhenbao Pavilion, he would have killed her. At this moment, the last thing he wants to see is It was Mu Yun who immediately reprimanded, "Get out."

Mu Yun paused, and then, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and she continued to take a step forward.

Ye Chenzhou didn't want the news of his possession of Changsheng Yin to spread, so he didn't arrange any subordinates in the room, and ordered them not to approach. When night fell, there were bursts of roaring in the room, as if several forces were constantly colliding, surging spiritual power It gushed out from the gap, cutting off a row of colonnades, but everything happened very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the room was quiet again.

Then, a person came out, it was Mu Yun, she was injured a little bit, and blood kept oozing from her ribs.It just doesn't look painful, but mostly tired on the surface.

She sat down on the steps clutching the wound on her ribs, and frowned as she looked at the blood on her fingers.

The next moment, another person hurried over, under the moonlight, it looked like a goddess coming to the world, but it was Ruoye.

"Ayun." She supported Mu Yun, her eyes were full of pity, and she carefully passed her spiritual power, "Does it hurt?"

She and Zhong Mingzhu went to Yanjiu together, but they didn't show up, but secretly set up a maze with Zhu Maolin, which caused Ye Chenzhou to have the illusion that his injury was getting worse. When Zhong Mingzhu finally went to trade with Ye Chenzhou, she had been waiting outside. Sensing that there was a spiritual vibration in the innermost part, she hurried over after dragging the monks outside.

When Mu Yun saw her, the tiredness accumulated in her eyes suddenly faded away. She leaned against Ruoye, closed her eyes with peace of mind, and said softly, "I finally killed him."

Changli's last push erased the imprint on her back. She didn't know how Changli did it, but the moment she realized that she could resist Ye Chenzhou's order, she understood the meaning of Zhong Mingzhu's words.

Ruoye treated the wound for her, and said a little reproachfully, "Wait for me to come over. Although he was seriously injured, your old injury hasn't fully healed yet. It's too dangerous."

"I can't wait." Mu Yun sighed, the moment she realized that the confinement was removed, she didn't want to wait even a moment longer.

"It's fine." Ruoye whispered, holding her hand and began to wipe the blood on her hand.

Mu Yun looked at the two overlapping hands. Not long ago, those complicated thoughts floated back again. She bent her fingers, ticked Ruoye's palm, and said softly: "In a few days, I will accompany you back How about a trip to the East China Sea?"

That night, four Tengwu carriages left Yanlu City, headed north, and went straight to Yunzhong City.

Chang Li was leaning against the window, the night outside was very good, but she didn't look very interested this time.

Zhong Mingzhu was sketching on the map to find the fastest way to reach the bottom of the spiritual vein, and when he noticed Chang Li's silence, he asked, "Li'er, what's the matter? Are you unhappy?"

"I'm not unhappy, I'm just thinking..." Changli hesitated for a moment before saying, "Why doesn't my little uncle want to see me?"

These days in Yanluo City, they stayed in the Tianyi School's annex, where Longtian Li was recuperating, and Changli wanted to visit him several times, but was turned away.

"Li'er, will you still blame your little uncle?" Zhong Mingzhu asked after thinking about it.

Chang Li thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I complained before, but now it's gone." She sighed softly, "I just want to see her, she was stabbed by the Cangwu sword, she must be seriously injured. "

Zhong Mingzhu looked at the worry in those black eyes, and felt that her heart was extremely soft again. She brushed away a strand of hair from the side of her face, and said, "This is probably the reason why she doesn't want to see you."

"Why?" Chang Li thought about this sentence carefully, but became more and more confused.

"You don't blame her anymore, but she is still blaming herself." Zhong Mingzhu grabbed her hand and rubbed it in the palm of his hand, "She probably feels that she can't bear your 'no grievance', so she doesn't see you .”

Seeing that Chang Li still didn't quite understand, Zhong Mingzhu was not in a hurry, she didn't break the words to continue explaining, she just said: "It's okay, Li'er, your little uncle is just thinking about something, and when she understands it, she is willing to explain it to you." See you."

Chang Li gave a thoughtful "Mmm", and after a moment of silence, he said, "Then I'll go find her when we come back."

"Okay." Zhong Mingzhu smiled slightly, "Wait for us to come back."
