"Is this the residence of the saint?"
Zhong Wen looked around curiously at the spacious and simple wooden house in front of him.
He had seen from afar the majestic buildings of the "Lingxiao Holy Land" and the splendid main hall on the top of the mountain.
The first impression he had at that time was that this "Lingxiao Holy Land" was definitely the most dignified and magnificent among the seven holy places.
There was a bed, a quilt, a desk, a wooden chair, and four empty white walls, not even a calligraphy or painting.
If Lin Zhiyun's boudoir gave Zhong Wen a "simple" feeling, then this wooden house can be called "simple".
"Yes, this is my residence." Saint Lingxiao replied calmly.
"Is the 'Lingxiao Holy Land' very short of money?" Zhong Wen couldn't help but ask.
"Have you ever seen a holy land that is short of money?" Saint Lingxiao asked.
"Even a saint lives in such a shabby place, I thought..." Zhong Wen scratched his head and chuckled.
"They are just external possessions. In the eyes of people of my age, they are no different from dirt." Saint Lingxiao looks only middle-aged, but in fact he is more than two hundred years old. He has experienced ups and downs and vicissitudes of life.
Being in the palace on the top of the mountain can't help me improve my cultivation, so what's the point?"
"This is a shabby room, but my virtue and virtue, the realm of a saint, is indeed not comparable to that of an ordinary person." Zhong Wen disagreed in his heart, but he pretended to flatter him in a false and condescending manner.
He is not a person who likes luxury, but he doesn't think that staying in a shabby room can sublimate his mood even if he has to live in a nice house next to him.
"This is a humble house, but I am so kind to you?" Saint Lingxiao's eyes lit up, and he carefully savored the sentences that Zhong Wen excerpted from the Chinese textbook of his previous life. He felt that the artistic conception was clear and the aftertaste was endless, "I didn't expect that at such a young age, you actually have such talent.
With this understanding, it’s no wonder that you can cultivate to such an extent.”
"Thank you, thank you." Zhong Wen laughed, feeling a little blushing for no reason.
"What kind of spiritual skill did you display just now?" Saint Lingxiao suddenly asked.
It was actually quite taboo to directly ask the practitioner about his trump cards, but he couldn't help but raise his doubts.
It is an unprecedented anecdote that the saint cannot be defeated just because he is fighting against a saint at the spiritual level. Even though the saint Lingxiao has rich experience and sophisticated vision, it is still difficult to suppress his curiosity.
"It's not a spiritual skill, it's a great way." Zhong Wen glanced at the white light man beside him.
After the battle, the white light man did not return to his body. Instead, he started to act on his own with great interest. He kept walking around, looking here and there, touching here and there, with excitement written all over his face.
Like a newborn child, he is full of yearning and longing for everything in the outside world.
But once Zhong Wen started to move, the light man would consciously stop "exploring" and follow him, as if he didn't want to be too far away from him.
As soon as Zhong Wen stopped, Guang Ren ignored him and continued to look around and run around. He was so energetic that he couldn't stop at all.
He also tried to recall the white light man into his body. However, the light man, who had a tacit understanding in the battle, ignored his thoughts and continued to go his own way and be carefree.
My way of doing things is too arbitrary.
The white light man's very egoistic style of acting made Zhong Wen dumbfounded and called him a good guy in his heart.
After doing this for several times, Zhong Wen had to give up trying and gave up the idea of letting the white light man return to his body.
After all, despite the truce between the two sides, he was still a little unsure of Saint Lingxiao's attitude. Having a man of white light hanging around beside him was somewhat of a safety net for him.
If he is recalled, who knows whether he can successfully summon this willful man again?
"Little guy, I wonder what kind of avenue you have understood?" Upon hearing this, Saint Lingxiao became more interested and couldn't help but ask.
You ask me, who should I ask?
When he thought that he didn't know the name of his own avenue, Zhong Wen suddenly had black lines all over his head and his balls ached.
Looking at Saint Lingxiao's expectant eyes, he couldn't help but glance at the white light man next to him who looked exactly like him. He hesitated for a long time before awkwardly holding back four words: "Zhongwen No. 2."
"What?" Saint Lingxiao couldn't understand for a moment.
"The great road I have understood is called 'Zhong Wen No. 2'." Zhong Wen explained calmly.
The so-called "Zhong Wen No. 2" method was naturally made up by him casually.
Following the mantra of "as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed", Zhong Wen finally gave his own path such a middle-class name after struggling for a long time.
As soon as he said this, the white light man who was just playing around suddenly turned his head, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and danced in protest.
I am Zhong Wen No. 1, and you are Zhong Wen No. 2!
In Zhong Wen's mind, a strong idea came inexplicably.
Oh it's you!
Zhong Wen's heart trembled, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, the fog cleared, and he instantly guessed the identity of the white light man.
It turns out that this magical white light man actually has the thinking of the original "Zhong Wen"!
Once you understand this level, you can immediately get reasonable explanations for many of the strange phenomena in the past.
Why did after accepting Zhong Wuyan as his aunt, there was an inexplicable "radar" in his head, and why did this shining white "Zhong Wen" come out of his body when life and death were at stake?
Thinking back on my own experience of enlightenment, it was the process by which "Zhong Wen" gradually floated out of the body from a weak remnant soul, and finally manifested into the magical form in front of him.
"Zhongwen No. 2?" Sage Lingxiao studied these four words repeatedly, "What a unique name!"
He couldn't decipher the concept of Zhong Wen's Dao through this name, but he had a vague feeling that the other party was not lying randomly. After pondering for a moment, he finally gave up the inquiry. He couldn't help but sigh again that Zhong Wen's nephew was otherworldly and weird.
It is really difficult to reason with common sense.
If we give him a few decades, he might really be able to break the limits of the seven old guys like us and get a glimpse of the secrets of the top cultivators of ancient times!
Looking at Zhong Wen's overly young face, Saint Ling Xiao even had such an idea.
Zhong Wen had a smile on his face and kept silent, completely ignoring the strong protest of the white light man jumping up and down.
"It's a great avenue, and it can be used as the foundation for becoming a saint." Saint Lingxiao turned around, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a glass of water for Zhong Wen and himself, and said slowly, "As long as you understand
Time is still young and you are not my opponent yet.”
You, a majestic saint, are proud to have defeated a seventeen-year-old flower boy like me?
Zhong Wen couldn't help but rolled his eyes and complained bitterly in his heart.
"It's not a shame to lose to an old monster like me." As if he guessed what Zhong Wen was thinking, Saint Lingxiao smiled slightly and said, "It's just that since you can't beat me, you naturally can't force me to change.
Rules, cancel the punishment for Wuyan and Xiaozhu."
"If you really can't make an exception, why bring me here for a secret conversation?" Zhong Wen's eyes sparkled, and he said word by word, "If the saint has any request, you might as well put it forward directly."
"You are very smart." A hint of admiration flashed in Saint Lingxiao's eyes, "Then I might as well say it straight. If I want to cancel Wuyan's punishment, you need to do one thing for me."
"Please tell me." Zhong Wen's face showed a "Sure enough" expression.
He seems to be laughing and joking on weekdays, but in fact he has the soul of a middle-aged uncle. He has worked hard in society for many years in his previous life, so naturally he will not naively think that the world will revolve around him.
If you want to get something, you have to pay first!
Equivalent exchange is the real operating principle of this world.
"Do you know where Wuyan's husband, Elder Qi Xuan, is now?" Saint Lingxiao did not make a request, but changed the topic.
"Qi Xuan?" Zhong Wen was slightly startled.
Zhong Wuyan's master and apprentice never mentioned Qi Xuan before him, so he knew nothing about this "uncle".
"Don't you know Qi Xuan?" Saint Lingxiao didn't seem surprised, "That's okay. You just need to know that he is now taking people from the 'Lingxiao Holy Land' to explore the 'Fire Emperor' with the other six holy lands.
Gate' ruins."
"Fire Emperor Sect!" Zhong Wen's heart was shocked and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Have you also heard of the 'Fire Emperor Sect'?" Saint Lingxiao glanced at him in surprise.
"I have heard of some of the seven ancient sects." Zhong Wen realized that he had lost his temper and laughed.
"Yes, the cultivation sects in ancient times were much more powerful than they are today." Saint Lingxiao nodded, "And the seven sects are the top forces that surpass all the cultivation sects. In comparison, we
These so-called holy places are nothing but a joke."
Listening to the sage talking about the seven ancient sects, Zhong Wen's mind unconsciously recalled the ruins of the "Liu Ren Hall" where he met Li Bing.
"It's just that although we have heard many rumors about the seven sects from ancient books, no one in this world has excavated the ruins of any of them." But I heard Saint Lingxiao continue, "So we have no idea about the power of the seven sects in ancient times.
, without too much intuitive understanding, this time, by chance, the ruins of the 'Fire Emperor Gate' were discovered by the 'Seven Star Pavilion', which is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to understand the ancient cultivators."
The ruins of the seven sects have never been discovered?
So who exactly hollowed out the ‘Liu Ren Hall’?
Zhong Wen became more and more confused and fell into deep thought unconsciously.
"Originally, the exploration of the ruins this time was jointly participated by the seven holy places. How much benefit can be obtained depends on each person's ability." Saint Lingxiao continued, "Now it seems that I am afraid that I have simplified things."
"how do I say this?"
"According to what Elder Tan just said, this expedition itself is a trap." Saint Lingxiao flashed a stern look in his eyes and said slowly, "Elder Qi and the others are likely to encounter danger."
"Elder Tan?" Zhong Wen looked confused.
"That's Elder Tan Shaojie who was beaten up by you for interrogating Wu Yan." Saint Lingxiao explained, "If I guessed correctly, he should be a spy planted by other forces in our 'Lingxiao Holy Land'
.”
"You knew he was a spy, but you still asked him to interrogate aunt?" A trace of anger flashed in Zhong Wen's eyes, "If I hadn't arrived in time, aunt and sister Ji would have been poisoned by him!"
"Zhong Wen No. 2" on the side was even more furious, glaring at Saint Ling Xiao fiercely, his gleaming right hand tightly clenched into a ball, as if he was about to punch him at any moment.
"Before today, I didn't know his true identity."
Saint Lingxiao didn't seem to be very angry about Zhong Wen's rude attitude. Instead, he patiently explained, "Speaking of which, the reason why he was exposed was thanks to Wu Yan."
The anger in Zhong Wen's eyes has not subsided. If he had not known that he was no match, he would have punched him long ago, allowing the saint to experience the light of the right path.
"Besides, although I treat all elders and disciples equally, I will not allow a spy to harm one of my own." Saint Lingxiao continued, "Since he has been exposed, there is no way he can lay a finger on Wuyan or the others.
"
"That sounds nice, but what about the harm they have already suffered?" Zhong Wen said reluctantly.
"Even if you don't take action, I will make Tan Shaojie pay the price he deserves." Saint Lingxiao changed the topic, "Back to business, I hope you can go to the 'Fire King Gate' site and help me bring Qi Xuan and the others to justice."
Bring him back safely."
Zhong Wen still stared at him fiercely, gritting his teeth and clenching his hands into fists.
"Don't think it's unfair." Saint Lingxiao said calmly, "There is no such thing as 'fair' in this world. If it weren't for your extraordinary strength, you would have died in my hands just now, and you wouldn't even be qualified to negotiate a deal.
Yes, reality is so cold, and when you live to my age, you will naturally understand it."
"Why me?" After a long time, the expression on Zhong Wen's face finally returned to calm, and he asked coldly, "Why don't you take action yourself?"
"After all, it is Tan Shaojie's one-sided words. I am not completely sure whether it is a trap." Sage Lingxiao was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Sage is not as comfortable as you think. Without legitimate reasons, we seven
These old guys can only check and balance each other and cannot take action easily, otherwise the consequences will be serious. And in my opinion, as long as the seven of us don't take action, no one in the world will be your opponent."
"Can I refuse?" Zhong Wen looked directly into the saint's eyes.
"Of course." Saint Lingxiao smiled faintly, "But in this case, Wuyan and Xiaozhu will have to face the wall for thirty years, and Wuyan's husband will probably die."
Zhong Wen: “…..”
Looking at the hateful smiling face in front of him, he took a deep breath and finally suppressed the urge to hit someone.
"I'll give you half an hour to think about it." Saint Lingxiao slowly walked to the door and said with his back to him, "After all, every moment you delay, Qi Xuan and the others will be in more danger."
"I have a condition."
Seeing that the saint was about to rush out of the door, Zhong Wen suddenly spoke.
"Oh?" Saint Lingxiao turned around slowly.
"That Elder Tan Shaojie needs to be left to me to deal with." Zhong Wen said decisively, with a tone that left no room for doubt, "Anyway, he is also a spy and cannot be considered a member of the 'Lingxiao Holy Land'."
"Deal." The corners of Saint Lingxiao's mouth raised slightly.
…
"This, Miss Zhuma did this?"
Looking at the broken corpses all over the ground in the Gong Family Courtyard, Qiu Tianlong's heart was filled with panic. He could not imagine that such a cruel massacre was carried out by a sweet and lovely girl.
Within the scope of his spiritual consciousness, there was no breath of life in the entire Gong family residence. Only a faint evil spirit was still floating in the air. Hundreds of corpses were scattered on the ground, and most of their skins were black.
Either an arm or a head is missing, and there are not many complete corpses. Many of them have even their corpses melted away, leaving only some residue wrapped in rags. Even the signs of their former existence have been removed.
Completely obliterate.
Only the faces of the two corpses were still clearly distinguishable. Qiu Tianlong recognized at a glance that these two deceased people, whose faces still retained a look of fear until death, were the two spiritual elders of the Gong family, Gong Jiuxiao and
Gong Yufan.
Seeing the tragic end of his old enemy, Qiu Tianlong didn't feel happy at all, but instead felt a sense of sadness.
"Zhuma..."
Ye Qinglian's ears echoed with Zhong Wen's instructions before leaving, and she murmured in her mouth, with a look of worry on her pretty face.
She released her consciousness to the maximum extent, but still could not find Zhuma's whereabouts.
The once lively and lovely little girl seemed to have disappeared from the world, leaving no trace to be traced.
where are you?
Ye Qinglian looked up at the sky, feeling at a loss. For the first time in her life, she had no idea.?
