Chapter 233 How to Rest in the Taoist Heart

"What did you say?!"

Shui Linglong looked at Liang Yan with an expression of disbelief on her face and said: "This is a major matter related to the lives of more than a dozen people in our Yungang Sect! Moreover, if the murderer is not found, he will probably continue to massacre us. Fellow disciple, can you remain indifferent to this?"

Liang Yan was suffocated by her question and blurted out subconsciously: "I don't know these people at all. What does their life and death have to do with me?"

"Then why did you save me just now?"

"As Liang said just now, you helped me out of trouble in the inn that day, so I should just return the favor to you today."

Shui Linglong looked directly into his eyes and spoke slowly: "Then have you ever thought that by joining my Yungang Sect and enjoying the resources of the Sect, you have suffered the consequences of the Sect. Now that my fellow sect brother is in trouble, you But he only cares about his own safety and interests, and does not care about the life and death of his fellow disciples. Don’t you feel guilty?"

Liang Yan felt angry when he heard this, and said with a slightly angry expression: "Am I still being lectured by you after I saved you? It seems that I shouldn't have taken action just now, so I don't have to cause all this trouble!"

Shui Linglong shook her head and said in a gentle tone: "You are willing to save me, which shows that you are not a ruthless person. I am not preaching to you, I just think that you are too clear about what you want. If it is beneficial, go for it, and if it is not beneficial, go ahead. Then come back, even if you practice Taoism for a hundred years, what is the difference between it and a stubborn stone?"

"Everyone is born for himself, am I wrong to do this?" Liang Yan said without thinking: "If the body dies and the Tao disappears, and in the end it is just a cup of loess, then it is really no different from a stubborn stone! You have been practicing Taoism for many years , why don’t you understand such a simple truth?”

He has been hanging out with the village children in the wild since he was a child. When he was a child, he had a bit of a gangster in his character. Later, when he entered cultivation, he experienced several intrigues, especially Zhuo Bufan's incident, which left a deep impression on him.

Therefore, in Liang Yan's subconscious mind, the eight characters "Heaven and Earth will destroy him if he does not serve himself!" have long been reflected in his heart. Unexpectedly, he met a fellow monk today and kept discussing with him the difference between human beings and stubborn rocks.

At this time, Shui Linglong sighed softly and said: "Senior Sister Da Daoli won't say it. It's just that when you are alive and have attachments, you should do something."

She turned her eyes and looked at Liang Yan and continued: "Sister, I don't have any suitable spiritual weapons or magic weapons to give you. How about this, I will give you the spiritual stones and ask you to help me catch the murderer. Eight hundred spiritual stones, have you seen enough? ?”

Liang Yan was slightly startled after hearing this, and there was a rare trance in his eyes. He looked at the woman in front of him again, and saw that she was wearing a long blue palace dress, with a straight posture. The faint sunlight shone through the gaps in the treetops, casting a layer of coldness on the woman in front of him. A different kind of warmth.

Seeing his silence, Shui Linglong thought he was waiting for a price, so she couldn't help but frown slightly, but the next moment, she still took a deep breath and said: "A thousand spiritual stones at most! Senior sister is not very rich, this is already This is my limit, if Junior Brother Liang still refuses to nod, then I will have to act alone."

Liang Yan shook his head to expel the strange emotion from his mind. He did not answer her immediately, but asked with a hint of confusion: "How on earth can Senior Sister do this?"

After hearing this, Shui Linglong showed a wry smile, stretched out her hand to push a strand of black hair to the back of her head, and said lightly: "I have been an orphan since I was a child. Fortunately, my master took pity on me and took me into the sect to teach me Taoism. I understand a The feeling of despair that people feel when they are lonely and helpless, I also deeply like this sect that raised me."

She raised her head, looked at Liang Yan and chuckled: "For these things, if you have free time in the future, it would be suitable to sit down and chat with you while drinking. However, the situation in the secret realm is urgent now. Every time you delay for a while, it will be very difficult." It is possible that one more junior brother may die unexpectedly. Please forgive me, senior sister, for not being able to accompany me."

After Shui Linglong finished speaking, she gave a slight salute to Liang Yan and was about to turn around and leave. However, after taking more than ten steps, she suddenly heard a voice coming from behind her: "Wait a minute!"

Shui Linglong turned around and saw Liang Yanzheng looking at her with a half-smiling expression:

"Although I still don't agree with senior sister's attitude towards life, since senior sister is willing to spend money to hire me, then Liang naturally has no reason to refuse. As for the eight hundred spirit stones, let's keep an account first!"

"Bookkeeping?"

Shui Linglong curled her lips slightly and looked at Liang Yan from a distance. The two looked at each other with a knowing smile.

One day later, in the killing forest.

A young man in gray clothes and a girl in aqua blue palace clothes were walking side by side. Behind the young man in gray clothes, there was an unconscious man in green clothes carrying an unconscious man in green clothes.

At this time, the young man in gray clothes said with some complaints: "Logically speaking, Senior Brother Xu has the eighth level of Qi Refining, plus your bottle of pills, he should have woken up by now, why is this still the case? Unconscious?"

The young man who asked this question was naturally Liang Yan. Yesterday, he agreed to work with Shui Linglong to track down the murderer. After a brief discussion, the two decided that the most direct way was to rescue the injured Senior Brother Xu. After all, he was the only one left alive now.

It's just that this person's injury was too serious. Even though Shui Linglong had a lot of healing pills to help him, he still didn't wake up. In desperation, the two decided to take him with them, searching for other brothers and traces of the murderer.

"Junior Brother Xu's injuries are too weird, and I can't tell the truth." Shui Linglong shook her head and said, "But fortunately, he didn't hurt his roots, and he will wake up sooner or later."

"I hope so. I don't want to carry someone behind me all the time." Liang Yan curled his lips and said.

Shui Linglong glanced at him, then suddenly showed a smile and said: "Junior brother Liang is very capable and has a great temper! You have such a high level of cultivation, but you pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger in the inn that day, which made me rescue you in vain!"

After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Senior sister, don't be surprised, you don't know something. In fact, it was because of the snowy day that Senior Brother Yu Xue was upstairs."

He wanted to tell Xue Tianyu about testing him, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shui Linglong:

"Eh? Do you also doubt Senior Brother Xue Tianyu?"

Liang Yan was stunned when he heard this. He turned around and saw Shui Linglong's serious look on her face, which was obviously not a joke.

"Does Senior Sister know something?" Liang Yan asked.

"Some time ago, I accidentally discovered that Senior Brother Xue often secretly inquired about the situation of some junior brothers. In fact, at that time, several sect disciples disappeared for no reason, but most of these people were out on missions. The specific reason depends on The sect seniors went to confirm, so I didn’t take it to heart.”

Shui Linglong paused as she spoke, and then said: "But now such a change has happened in the little secret realm, I have to suspect Senior Brother Xue. And more than half of these dead people were pierced by long objects. He died of Dantian."

"Ah! What do you mean?"

"That's right!" Shui Linglong nodded and said, "Senior Brother Xue's Dongming Umbrella!"
