Chapter 91: Cold Night on the Peaks
It has been several days since leaving Kunlun. Yichen has also found out many things about himself these days, but none of them are good. People from all major sects are now heading to Xuanqing Mountain, and the entire Xuanqing Sect is under great pressure.
According to the current situation, as Hua Weiyang said, it is very unfavorable for him to return to Xuanqingmen now. He can wait until the storm subsides before going back, and during this period, he will secretly investigate the real person behind it.
But the current situation is not optimistic, not to mention whether he can find out the real culprit behind it. As these days drag on, not only is the Xuan Qing Sect's reputation gradually damaged, but the master is also under the pressure of countless people's comments. .
Therefore, he must go back and clarify all this as soon as possible. No matter what his fate is, he will not choose to escape as a man with an eight-foot body.
On this day, the wind on Xuanqing Mountain was cold, and the fallen leaves swirled all over the sky, sweeping them away and covering the ground again. The sky was also gloomy, as if it was almost suffocating. ✷
When Yichen came back this time, he already considered death as home. If he was timid and afraid, he would not come back this time.
"Sand-sand-sand-"
The wind blew up the fallen leaves all over the ground. Several disciples were cleaning the leaves on the steps. Yichen walked up the steps step by step. It was less than a year since he left the familiar place in the past. This time he stepped on these thousand steps. Go up, but his heart was extremely heavy. Every step he took, there seemed to be a huge amount of force under his feet, until a few sweeping disciples saw him coming back.
"Xiao...Xiao Yichen!"
When several sweeping disciples saw him, they immediately felt as if they had seen a ghost. The two behind them were so frightened that they dropped their brooms and ran back up the mountain. The remaining two disciples turned pale, and for a moment they were speechless. He knew what to say, but his hands holding the broom were trembling.
Apparently, rumors were flying around during this period, saying that he colluded with the devil and killed many seniors from various sects, so much so that when an ordinary disciple saw him, he was as scared as if he had met a big devil. .
"Two senior brothers, long time no see, please come and say hello."
Yichen slowly walked forward. The two disciples were still frightened when they saw him approaching. It was obviously an ordinary greeting, but now it sounded like a threat to them, making them keep nodding "Okay" ...Okay, Junior Brother Xiao...you, you are back."
"I'm back, take me up."
Yichen looked at the fallen leaves falling around him, and felt that something was missing in this vast world. The heaven and earth are boundless, and human beings are as straight as dust and mustard seeds. If heaven and earth are a chessboard, who is a chess piece?
When we arrived at Tianchi Square, we saw a lot of people moving around. Many people were coming here. When they saw Xiao Yichen coming up, suddenly a voice like angry thunder sounded, "Nie Zhan! You still have the nerve to return to Xuanqingmen today! Come here!" People, take down Xiao Yichen!"
In the crowd, the angry and arrogant person was naturally Xuanyang Zun. Today, he was not seeking revenge, but the reputation of the Xuanqing Sect had been damaged recently, and his status was gradually declining. He had to face countless people's questions every day. All of this was caused by Xiao Yichen alone, how could he not be angry?
If it were just some rumors outside, he wouldn't be so angry, but after Yi Zhen and Mei Jianyi and others came back that time, he heard with his own ears what happened at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. He never expected that Xiao Yichen In order to protect the demon girl, he actually started a fight with his two master uncles and cast some evil spells to inject three rays of yin and yang profound energy into Mei Jianyi's body, almost causing her body to suffer backlash and her soul to be severely damaged.
At this moment, more than a dozen Xuanqing disciples jumped in front of Xiao Yichen, but they did not dare to step forward and take him down. Poria and Nishang were also in the distance, watching him walk up step by step.
"Now that the disciple has come back, he will never leave again."
Yichen's voice was calm, as if he didn't pay attention to the strange looks coming from around him at this moment.
"well……"
Master Xuanyang held back his anger and said in a deep voice, "Take him to Lianfengtai!"
As soon as these words came out, almost all the disciples trembled. Lianfengtai is the place where people who have committed serious crimes are interrogated. If they go there, they will probably escape death. In so many years, they have never seen anyone. At least they have not seen anyone who was taken to Lianfengtai for trial.
Fu Ling's face turned pale as a sheet, and she stumbled to Master Xuanyang. She pulled his sleeves and shook his head, "Everything is still inconclusive now. Master Xuanyang, please don't send Junior Brother Xiao to the Peak Tower..."
"snort!"
Master Xuanyang coldly flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "Then do you want me to send him to Tianmen!"
Hearing this, Fu Ling's body trembled slightly, and then she realized that now that such a big thing has happened, Junior Brother Xiao has only two options. One is to be imprisoned on the Lianfeng Platform, and the other is to be sent to Tianmen for trial.
In Xuanqingmen, there are still several nobles who protect him, but if he goes to Tianmen and is interrogated by the three saints of Tianmen in person, his life will be in danger. Master Xuanyang seems to be "publicly avenging private revenge", but in fact It's to protect him, and it's also to protect Xuan Qing's dignity.
"Junior Brother Xiao..."
Fu Ling's voice was choked. She raised her head and looked at the stubborn young man in the distance. What she was thinking about was the junior brother who was talking and laughing by the lake. Why did so many things happen in just less than a year... …
…
The wind at night is cold, and even though it is hot summer, the night at Lianfengtai is still chilling.
On the forty-nine pillars outside, runes were vaguely visible. The ban had not yet been fully activated. In the middle, the giant sword was wrapped with iron chains. Yichen was also bound by several purple iron chains that seemed real and unreal. All his skills were locked by these "bone-breaking chains".
The fallen leaves on the ground were swirling in the wind, but there was no old man sweeping the floor tonight.
If there are two places in the world that are the most strictly guarded, then Lianfengtai is one of them. Forty-nine pillars, each of which has a powerful ban. Once the ban is fully opened, coupled with the power of the seven stars and the power of the spiritual veins under the mountain, even gods can't come here to rescue people.
The second place is the Tianmen, known as the "heavenly net" - "Senluo Prison", which is full of Senluo illusions. If you want to go into the prison to save people, you often trap yourself in it.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and only the wind blows on the iron chains, making a cold "ding ding" sound.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance, followed by a figure flashing in. Under the moonlight, the figure was graceful and light, but it was Fuling.
"Senior sister..."
Yichen saw that it was her, and before he could say anything, Fuling quickly made a silent gesture and whispered, "The elders are not here, I brought some food to my junior brother..." As she spoke, she took out a paper bag from her arms, which contained some crushed cakes.
"I... I came too hastily. There are two good pieces here..."
"No need..."
Yichen sighed softly. His life or death was uncertain in seven days. How could he eat at this moment? He said, "Sister, go back. If the elders know that you came here late at night, you may be punished..."
"Junior brother..."
Fuling looked at him. For some reason, her voice was choked again. At this moment, when Yichen raised his head, Fuling was startled. Why did Junior Brother Xiao's eyes just now look so similar to Brother Si Que's eyes that occasionally flashed? The two people actually had such similar eyes. Could it be that Brother Si Que was also...
It was not until a long time that she slowly came back to her senses. She lowered her head and whispered, "Junior brother, I want you to tell me honestly, are you really with that witch..."
Before she finished speaking, Yichen shook his head and said, "Miss Weiyang and I are innocent, and heaven and earth can bear witness."
Hearing this, Fuling was slightly relieved, and lowered her head and said, "But those people, those people all said that you had an affair with that witch, that you were bewitched by that witch, and had already joined the Demon Cult and forgotten your teacher's kindness. I... I can't argue with them."
"Heh..."
Yichen smiled coldly, and suddenly said, "The most terrifying thing in this world is not the so-called Demon Cult, but the hidden... human heart."
"Junior brother, what do you mean...?"
Fuling didn't quite understand what he meant at the moment, Yichen shook his head and smiled, "Nothing, it's late at night, Senior Sister, go back."
