"Qihuangzi" said seriously:
"Are you threatening me, fellow Taoist?"
Qingye responded sternly:
"Threat? No!
I sincerely hope to have a frank and sincere communication with you, but you responded in the most annoying way."
"You should know what it means to us to set aside a separate area from Qinglin Peak for outsiders to use.
If we cannot even achieve basic mutual trust, even if you hold a lot of military merit, even if the reputation of Qingxuan Sect is damaged, we will not agree!"
"Qihuangzi" stared at Qingye with a serious face. After a while, he suddenly said:
"You want to have frank and sincere communication, but now you are so angry... Do you think I am not frank and sincere?"
Qingye didn't speak, just looked at him.
In his expression, the meaning was expressed very clearly, "Isn't this obvious?"
"Qihuangzi" shook his head, smiled, and sighed:
"It seems that there are some problems in the communication between us."
"..."
Qing Ye's eyes became confused, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning of this sentence.
Qing Zhan, who had been watching, asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Qihuangzi" looked at her and asked:
"Just now, fellow Taoist Qingye asked me whether the abnormal situations that occurred in Tianqi Mountain, Wumenghai, and Kurosawa Plain were all caused by me and the 'Qihuangmen'. I asked what the abnormality was.
There’s nothing wrong with my answer, why did he suddenly change his face?”
Having said this, "Qihuangzi" spread his hands, confused and innocent.
But his expression not only made the flames in Qingye's eyes a little brighter, Qingzhan's bright eyes also quietly became sharp, saying:
"First of all, through some circumstantial evidence, we are more than 80% sure that the anomalies that occurred in Tianqi Mountain, Wumenghai, and Kurosawa Plain are directly or indirectly related to you;
Secondly, even if these anomalies really have nothing to do with you, we never believe that you still know nothing about the anomalies that occurred in these three places to this day!"
"Qihuangzi" suddenly nodded and said:
"It seems that this is the source of the misunderstanding between us.
Maybe there is some ambiguity in my expression, so I would change "what abnormality" to "which abnormality" would be more accurate."
Having said this, "Qihuangzi" looked at the two of them and said seriously:
"You guys are going to say that the anomalies in Tianqi Mountain, Wumenghai, and Kurosawa Plain are all caused by me, but I don't admit it."
"???"
For a moment, Qing Ye and Qing Zhan all turned into question mark faces and starry eyes, looking silly and cute at the same time.
But soon, the two of them woke up, and the throbbing of their souls, the beating of their heartbeats, and the trembling of their pupils all became uncontrollable.
The two couldn't help but look at each other. In the most primitive exchange of gazes, there were countless emotions that only they could understand.
Qingye spoke again, but felt his throat was dry for no reason.
"So, some of the abnormalities are indeed caused by you?"
"Yeah." "Qihuangzi" nodded.
"Which part?" Qingye asked.
"The number of third-order monsters is abnormal." "Qihuangzi" said.
Hearing the other party's "understatement" admission, Qingye couldn't help but his eyelids twitching.
If he had been able to pull out such powerful information from the other party before, Qingye would have regarded it as the biggest gain of this trip.
The two of them made such a surprise attack as soon as "Qihuangzi" arrived at Qingxuanzong. The purpose was to verify this matter, and at the same time, it was also a thorough investigation of "Qihuangzi" and "Qihuangmen".
But now, he doesn't have much hope of getting a conclusive answer.
The new "suspense" has tightly gripped his and Qingzhan's hearts.
"Besides, are there any other abnormalities among the three evil veins?"
Finally, Qing Ye asked the question straightforwardly.
"Qihuangzi" nodded, "Yeah."
"What is it?"
Qing Ye continued to ask, but he didn't realize that his voice was trembling uncontrollably when he asked this question.
This reflects the changes in his inner mood from the side.
There is no reason why he is so "unsteady". As the ancestor of the Qingxuan Sect, he claims to be the one who stands at the top of the Qingxuan Domain, has the most mastery and the most complete understanding of everything in the Qingxuan Domain. Suddenly, he was told that this was just
hallucination…
He didn't say "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible" on the spot, which was already an amazing display of determination.
"Qihuangzi" looked at Qingye, then at Qingzhan, shook his head in disappointment and said, "It seems that you don't know yet."
Qing Ye had recovered again and said with an ugly expression: "Fellow Taoist, is it really fun to play with us?"
Of course he is not stupid. Looking from the back to the front at this moment, he can naturally see clearly that this "Qihuangzi" must have been pretending just now, and he had already expected that such an answer would make them both unhappy -
He did it on purpose!
This old guy, despite his appearance, is not a serious person at heart.
"Qihuangzi" laughed and immediately asked: "You want to know now?"
"Of course." Qing Ye.
"Qihuangzi" nodded.
"It's not impossible, but I'm worried that it will dampen your interest.
How about I wait until your centenary celebration is over to discuss this matter with you?
Anyway, if you know it later, it’s better to know it earlier, it won’t be a big hindrance.”
Qing Ye was dissatisfied, and Qing Zhan next to him was also dissatisfied and said, "Fellow Taoist, can you stop titillating people? What you do is really annoying!"
"Qihuangzi" nodded and said:
"Okay, but it may not be so intuitive to understand just by dictating it. I will take you directly to the scene to see it."
"Go now?" Qing Ye.
"Go now." "Qihuangzi".
Qingye stared at "Qihuangzi". After a moment, he nodded slightly and said: "Okay... I will make arrangements."
"Qihuangzi" felt a slight fluctuation in his soul, centered on Qingye, moving away into the distance.
Soon, "Qihuangzi" saw three people flying from different directions in the distance.
One of them, a plain-looking man in gray robe, was a few years older than Qing Ye.
He looked featureless and was the first to appear next to Qing Ye and Qing Zhan.
He looked at "Qihuangzi", nodded slightly, and then he said hello, and then stood next to Qingye Qingzhan without saying a word.
This man looked ordinary and had no edge, but in Meng Zhou's eyes, he looked like a magic weapon hidden in a sheath, with edge hidden inside.
Later, Qing Ye introduced that this person was named "Qing Feng" and he was the most indifferent among the five elders of Qing Xuan and the one who disliked dealing with common people the least.
The two people who came after him were an old man with white beard and hair, who was most similar to "Qihuangzi" in appearance and age, Qingyao.
A woman who is quite charming, but not enchanting at all, but gives people a sense of magnanimity and generosity, Qingtang.
Compared to Qing Feng, the two of them were obviously much more talkative. After arriving, they both chatted casually with "Qi Huangzi" for a few words.
They did not rush to pursue the mystery that concerned them most.
Looking at the five people in front of him, Meng Zhou was also thoughtful.
Qingye, Qingzhan, Qingfeng, Qingyao, Qingtang...
Like Yin Youyi and Mu Hanyu, before Qingxuanzong, they naturally had their own common names, and they were not as unified as they are now.
But since the birth of Qingxuanzong, they have abandoned their common names and standardized and unified their names.
Mr. Meng Zhou felt that this was not simply for the sake of "unification of standards."
With the five of them standing together, he had a clear feeling that the energy that the five of them freely exuded seemed to match perfectly.
If you close your eyes and judge only by your Qi, you will really mistake it for a person.
Meng Zhou thought of what he saw when he first came to Qingxuan Sect ten years ago and looked around under the leadership of Qingxuan Sect monks.
In a spiritual place, he saw that the five spiritual plants of wood, earth, fire, water and metal coexisted harmoniously in an area.
Based on his knowledge at the time, he could glean a lot of information from it.
Now, looking at the five people in front of him, some of Meng Zhou's guesses have become clearer.
After the five people gathered together, Qing Ye waved his hand gently, and a spaceship appeared out of thin air in the void outside the cliff next to it, floating motionless.
He nodded to "Qihuangzi" and said, "Let's go."
After that, he took the lead in boarding the spaceship.
"Qihuangzi" said to "Geping" next to him: "Just stay here on the mountain and don't go anywhere. I'll come back as soon as I go."
"Yes, Master." "Ge Ping" nodded in agreement.
He stood here openly, but from the beginning to the end, from the sudden appearance of Qing Ye and Qing Zhan, to the arrival of the other three ancestors, to the time they boarded the spacecraft, no one looked at him.
All their attention was focused on "Qihuangzi".
Soon, the spacecraft rose into the strong wind layer of the sky.
"Tianqi Mountain, Wumenghai, Kurosawahara...where should we go first?" Qingye asked.
"Just Tianqi Mountain." "Qihuangzi" said seemingly casually.
Qing Ye nodded and said no more. The spacecraft integrated into the Gangfeng layer had already adjusted its direction and was speeding towards Tianqi Mountain.
If some Qingxuan Sect disciples knew about this trip, they might be confused.
The five dignified Qingxuan elders, who never even cared about the affairs of the sect, and who were dedicated to cultivating, suddenly reacted like this because of a piece of vague news that was difficult to tell whether it was true or false. Is it too hasty to mobilize troops and mobilize a large number of people?
?
But none of the people involved on the spacecraft had such "awareness."
After asking, Qingye concentrated on controlling the spacecraft and stopped talking.
No one else said a word.
I don't know how long this silence lasted, but was broken again by Qing Ye.
"arrive."
As he spoke, the spaceship broke away from the unchanging wind layer, and a vast and continuous mountain range appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The spacecraft, which remained invisible, slid into this world at an extremely fast speed.
Under the guidance of "Qi Huangzi", the spacecraft quietly penetrated deeper into Tianqi Mountain.
Along the way, they also passed a battlefield.
A small team of the Spirit Controlling Army and several Qingxuan Sect Formed Pills were fighting fiercely with more than a dozen third-order monsters, but no one on the spacecraft stopped for a moment.
The battle below was not affected at all.
They seemed to have no connection with each other, and they passed by each other quickly.
Under the guidance of "Qi Huangzi", the spacecraft got closer and closer to the central area of Tianqi Mountain.
"Okay, put the spaceship away, we are going to sneak over quietly."
The fast-moving spaceship was immediately put away by Qing Ye and disappeared, leaving the six of them standing in the void.
Qingye looked at "Qihuangzi" and asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"Qihuangzi" said: "Not sure."
Qing Ye's face showed displeasure again, thinking that this old guy was playing tricks on him again.
"Qihuangzi" said solemnly: "I'm really not sure, but try your best to be fully prepared."
Qingye glanced at "Qi Huangzi" and nodded to the others: "Everyone, please pay attention."
After saying that, he looked at "Qi Huangzi" and said, "Please, fellow Taoist, lead the way."
At this moment, everyone had descended from the air to two or three feet above the ground, completely disappearing into the jungle.
Everyone's qi energy has been converged to the extreme, and their bodies are so flexible that even if they walk through the dense forest, they will not leave any traces.
Like six floating shadows.
At this moment, Qingtang, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "It seems that this is your first time here, fellow Taoist?"
"Qihuangzi" was very curious about how the other party could see this, and thought it must be some special ability in the wood element.
At this moment, they are in the primitive jungle.
Since the other party exposed it, he didn't hide it. He nodded and said: "Yes, this is my first time in this place."
The five speeding "shadows" next to them all froze slightly after hearing this answer.
"Then how do you determine that there is an abnormality here?" Qing Ye asked in a deep voice.
"I knew it." "Qihuangzi" gave a very unbeatable answer.
I don’t know what the five people were thinking after hearing this, but they didn’t continue to ask questions, and no one questioned them, and continued to follow him.
Soon, "Qihuangzi" stopped at the foot of a medium-sized mountain.
He looked at the five people floating next to him, then looked at his feet and said, "It's down here."
Along the way, the five people never stopped exploring.
Long before "Qihuangzi" opened his mouth, the powerful spiritual consciousness of the five people had already penetrated deep underground.
At this moment, they already have some understanding of what's below.
A third-level spiritual land hidden deep in the mountains.
This is what they found.
The five people looked at each other and knew that the situation was not that simple.
After the spiritual consciousness exploration failed, they each used different exploration methods, but none of them yielded any more results.
Well, it can't be said that there was no gain at all. They still found a few stone chambers that seemed to have been inhabited in the long past.
However, besides making more doubts arise in their minds, this does not help them get closer to the truth.
The answer was right in front of them, but the five people who had come as soon as they said they would, became cautious and did not act immediately.
Qingye looked at "Qihuangzi" and asked, "Fellow Taoist, what's down there?"
While the five people were carefully investigating, "Qihuangzi" was also carefully observing the five people.
At this moment, facing Qing Ye's inquiry, he slowly shook his head.
"I don't know exactly what it is. The only thing I can be sure of is that there is an anomaly buried here that has existed for a long time... Do you want to go down and take a look?"
