Chapter 504
There are often such scenes in the world.
A certain treacherous official took the imperial seal to a certain prince, saying that if it is not granted by God, he will be condemned by him.
A certain thief said to the eldest brother in charge, look at that little lady across the street is as beautiful as a flower.
A helper told the master that he heard that there was a jade screen in a certain house, which was very precious.
Those are all bad people, and they all do evil things.
Tong Yan doesn't have thick eyebrows and big eyes, but she is also the most promising disciple of the Zhongzhou Sect, the leader of the Righteous Path. Why would she do such a thing tonight? What's more interesting is that Liu Ci, as the head of Qingshan Sect, the righteous leader, not only didn't reprimand him, but even thought about it seriously, and said: "Based on the time, the cloud boat has already entered Zhongzhou, isn't it convenient?"
Jing Jiu said, "Just arrived."
Obviously, after hearing Tong Yan's words, he also made some calculations.
When he left Xihai during the day, it could be seen that the Zhongzhou faction was very vigilant about whether the Qingshan sect would go crazy, and they should go back as quickly as possible.
Once they entered the range of Yunmeng Formation, even if Liu Ci and Jing Jiu were invincible, they would have no way to do more.
"I have been digging holes in Yunmeng Mountain for six years, and I know the Yunmeng Formation very well, and I happen to be good at playing chess, so I wrote some solutions."
Tong Yan said something even more surprising.
Liu Ci looked at him and said, "The Zhongzhou faction knows about this, you will die."
Tong Yan suggested that the Qingshan Sect go to grab the Qingtian Mirror, and was even willing to make suggestions. This is a crime that no sect can forgive.
Even if he has just made great contributions to the Zhongzhou faction.
This is not a fake betrayal, it is a real betrayal.
Tong Yan said, "I haven't thought about it."
Under the starlight, his eyebrows are lighter, just like life and death in his eyes.
Jing Jiu said, "Then have you ever thought that we will kill you?"
No matter whether it was silence or revenge for that catastrophe, they were all reasons to kill Tong Yan.
Tong Yan said calmly: "I have thought about it, but I haven't thought about it too much. I told you that I am a chess player, and I only see black and white. Daoist Taiping deserves to die. I will try my best to kill him. As for your Qingshan sect trying to save him, that is your business. The consequences arising from this should not be borne by me."
Jing Jiu said, "I didn't expect you to look a bit like Shi Sui."
Tong Yan said: "So I had a great time working with him."
Back then Jing Jiu and Bai Zao were plotted against by Luo Huainan and trapped in the snow for six years, Tong Yan conspired with Zhao Layue and Liu Shisui to kill Luo Huainan.
That's what he was talking about.
It is indeed the past, more than twenty years have passed.
Jing Jiu glanced at Liu Ci.
Liu Ci looked at Tong Yan with admiration in his eyes, but he didn't agree to his request, saying, "I don't accept it."
Tong Yan was not surprised or disappointed, and quietly waited for the next article.
Liu Ci said: "Unless you return to Qingshan together with Qingtianjian."
Tong Yan thought for a while and said, "Okay."
Being so crisp and neat is indeed not like the Zhongzhou faction's style of doing things.
Jing Jiu thought this should be Qingshan's disciple.
...
...
In the night sky, starlight fell on the deck of the sword boat, like a layer of snow.
Tong Yan landed on the deck.
Yuan Qu looked at him expressionlessly, thinking that even if the real master and uncle didn't kill you, I wouldn't be able to give you a good face.
Tong Yan ignored him, went to a corner and sat cross-legged, and began to meditate and adjust her breath.
The snow and frost are as before, and there are no footprints.
Nan Wang opened his eyes and looked at him quietly.
She found out what happened to Xihai from Zhao Layue, and she closed her eyes and remained silent since then, as if she was very tired.
She suddenly said: "I don't know why they didn't kill you, but after Liu Ci dies, I will definitely kill you."
Tong Yan remained silent.
The entire cultivation world knows that Nan Wang was spoiled by his seniors, the most pampered and savage, with a high status.
Whatever she wants to do, she must do it.
Zhao Layue noticed that Nan Wang didn't use honorific titles for the real master, not even senior brother, but called the master directly by his name.
The night wind can't shake the stars, and the sword boat has no sails, but the people in the boat have their own turmoil.
Gu Qing was not there.
Yuan Qu can't.
Zhao Layue didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
At this time, a somewhat surprised, curious, and excited voice sounded.
"You are Tong Yan? You are a genius of the Zhongzhou School who is only slightly inferior to my master in chess? What are you doing here?"
Ping Yongjia looked at his pair of pale eyebrows, remembered the person he saw in Xihai during the day, and asked repeatedly: "Abandon the darkness and turn to the light?"
He spoke very happily, his eyebrows kept raising, as if he was about to fly away.
Silence often means nervousness, and sometimes it means embarrassment.
Only then did Ping Yongjia realize that these words seemed inappropriate, and rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
He suddenly thought of something, quickly picked up a piece of felt cloth, covered Tong Yan's whole body, and said: "You can't be seen by others, otherwise you will give the Zhongzhou faction an excuse to find a hole for you to hide for a few years after returning to Qingshan, and then change your appearance and give you a new Daoist name. At that time, who will recognize you?"
Looking at this scene, Yuan Qu couldn't hold back any longer, so he turned his face away.
Nan Wang snorted coldly.
Zhao Layue knew that nothing would happen again, so she closed her eyes and ignored it.
The white cat rubbed against her arms, changed its position and continued to sleep, with its eyes closed from the beginning to the end, with a childish face or something... It didn't bother to pay attention.
The air on the sword boat suddenly became lighter.
Tong Yan sat under the starlight under a felt cloth.
He looked at the darkness in front of him, thought about what this disciple of Shenmo Peak who didn't know who said it, and found that there was some truth to it.
...
...
The same starlight will have different brightness at different altitudes. For example, it looks like snow on the deck of a high-altitude sword boat, but it looks like water on the top of a human peak.
The water is clear and soft, if it accumulates into lakes and seas, it is tolerant and inclusive, and is used by many people to describe the real Liu Ci.
But his attitude towards Tong Yan has nothing to do with his mind, it's just because of his appreciation in some aspects and the difficulty of being the leader.
Liu Ci said: "It sounds like he has a good opinion of Liu Shisui?"
Jing Jiu said, "I brought up ten years old."
This means that of course it is good, it must be good.
Liu Ci lightly stroked his short beard, seemed very satisfied, and asked: "How do you know that the Liu family belongs to my descendants?"
Jing Jiu said, "I care about my nephew."
Liu Ci said: "But when you returned to Qingshan, you still notified Shangdefeng first."
Many years ago, Master Lu, who was born in Shangde Peak, heard a certain news and went to a small mountain village to bring back the natural Daoist Liu Shisui.
Then he saw the boy in white on the bamboo chair by the pond.
This is what Liu Ci said.
Jing Jiu said, "I was born in Shangdefeng back then, what's the problem?"
Liu Ci wanted to say this, I am also from Shangdefeng, how can I talk about it?
Jing Jiu said, "When Liu Shisui had an accident, I asked Monkey to notify you first."
This is about the incident when Liu Shisui swallowed the demon pill in the muddy water and was imprisoned in the Sword Prison.
There have been many such things in the past thirty years.
Lu Qing and the monkey kept talking, Yuan Qu kept running to Shangde Peak, and all the hidden things behind them were revealed tonight.
"You always say that I am sticky in my work, sometimes like this, sometimes like that, don't you do the same?"
Liu Ci said: "Try brother for a while, try me for a while, no one will believe it, it won't work."
Jing Jiu looked at Jianzhou in the night sky and said, "I just don't believe you."
He didn't think about changing, but in this life, there are a few more people around him, people who are trustworthy.
Those few people or cats were in the sword boat in the night sky, only Gu Qing and Liu Shisui were not there.
Even if tonight is the first real "reunion after a long absence", people like Jing Jiu and Liu Ci will not reminisce about the past like ordinary people, not to mention that they don't have much time now. When talking about these gossips, they were looking at the maps and solutions left by Tong Yan, and making some corrections by the way.
Once these things are done, it's time to leave.
Qingshan attacked the West Sea, and the seventeen sword boats launched together, that is because Qingshan's swordsmanship is so dignified and upright.
This time I'm going to steal something, of course I have to be sneaky, I can't go on a sword boat.
Liu Ci looked at Jing Jiu and said sincerely, "Jian Yun is too slow."
Jing Jiu said, "Don't think about it."
While speaking, the cosmic front had already floated up, hovering in the night sky outside the cliff, waiting for the two of them.
Liu Ci glanced at Yu Yufeng, and said with a look of disgust: "I said it before, this sword is too dirty."
Jing Jiu ignored him and sat down in front of Universe Front.
Do you like to sit or not.
Liu Ci had no choice but to sit on it.
The universe front broke through the sky and flew towards Yunmeng Mountain in the distance.
Jing Jiu sat in front with his eyes closed.
Liu Ci leaned back, her two long legs dangling in the starlight.
Starlight is like water.
He was like a child treading water.
...
...
At the beginning of the morning light, the morning fog is also the thickest.
Fog is everywhere in Yunmeng Mountain, covering people's sight. When the daylight shines through, it is easy to weave a dreamy feeling.
The mist was slightly chaotic, and Qing'er waved her transparent wings, looking back at the beautiful valley, with tears in her eyes, like dewdrops on leaves.
This is the place where she has lived all her life, and even she herself can't remember how tens of thousands of years have passed.
But her sadness at this time is not the sorrow of leaving home, but more sad than other things.
"He... will die?"
Liu Ci and Jing Jiu did not tell her that Tong Yan had gone to Qingshan.
The fewer people who know about this, the better, especially a naive newborn like Qing'er who is easy to deceive.
Jing Jiu didn't speak, and walked faster and faster with his hands behind his back, like an old farmer rushing up the mountain to see the harvest.
Liu Ci stretched out his right hand, let Qing'er stop on it, and asked, "You don't blame him?"
"Strange..." Qing'er shed tears and said, "But he won't die, right?"
Liu Ci said: "No."
Qing'er wiped away her tears with her little hands, walked up to Liu Ci's shoulder and sat down, without saying anything.
This place is still within the scope of the Yunmeng formation, although it has reached the edge, it is still very dangerous for the Zhongzhou faction to find out.
So she should be more sensible and don't cause trouble for this old fairy.
She thinks so.
As for Jing Jiu, she doesn't want to talk to him yet.
Traveling against the wind and through the fog, I don't know how long it took, and finally left Yunmeng Mountain completely.
The cosmic front broke through the sky, and Liu Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jing Jiu didn't understand. As long as he got the Qingtianjian, his goal would be achieved. Even if the two real people Tanbai or Qilin found them, the big deal would be a fight. Could it be that they can beat you? Even the Yunmeng formation may not be able to trap them, what are you afraid of?
"Being a thief for the first time in my life, I'm inevitably a little nervous." Liu Ci explained.
"I've never been a thief." Jing Jiu thought for a while, and said, "A few years ago, I took a hat with Layue in Shangzhou City, but I didn't give you any money. Does that count?"
Liu Ci said: "Taking without asking is naturally a thief."
Jing Jiu said, "Then I have more experience than you."
This trip to Yunmeng seems simple, but it is not.
In the Yunmeng formation of the Zhongzhou faction, they were able to steal the true spirit of Tianbao.
Even with the help of Tong Yan, only the current Liu Ci and him can do it in the world until a thousand years ago.
The red sun finally came above the sea of clouds, warm and refreshing.
Liu Ci thought it was a rare trip, and he would have to go a few more places, so he said to Jing Jiu, "Let's go and destroy the Xuanyin Sect."
Jing Jiu said, "Okay."
