Shui Linglong looked at Liang Yan with an expression of disbelief on her face and said: "This is a major matter that concerns 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, how 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 said slowly: "Then have you ever thought that by joining my Yungang sect and enjoying the sect's resources, you have suffered the karma of the sect. Now that my fellow sect brother is in trouble, you
But he only cares about his own safety and interests, and ignores the life and death of his fellow disciples. Don't you feel guilty?"
Liang Yan felt angry and said with a slightly angry expression: "I saved you and still have to be lectured by 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 had been hanging out with the village children in the wild since he was a child, and he had a bit of a gangster in his personality when he was a child. Later, when he entered cultivation, he experienced several intrigues, especially Zhuo Bufan, 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 you have to do something in this world if you have attachments."
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 stunned for a moment 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, her figure was upright, and the light sunlight filtered through the gaps in the treetops.
The photo cast a different kind of warmth on the cold-tempered woman in front of him.
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 brought me into the sect and taught 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 have a drink while chatting with you. 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 bowed slightly to Liang Yan and was about to turn around and leave. However, after she took 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!"
"Accounting?"
Shui Linglong curled her lips slightly and looked at Liang Yan from a distance. The two met their eyes and both smiled knowingly.
One day later, in the killing forest.
A young man in gray clothes and a young 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 on his back.
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 man was too seriously injured. 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, while looking for other brothers and the murderer.
traces.
"Junior Brother Xu's injury is too weird, and I can't tell whether it is true or not." 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 my back 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! As for your cultivation, 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 blame me. You don't know something. In fact, it was because of the snow that day that Senior Brother Yuxue 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? 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. It was obvious that she was not joking.
"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 it, 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.
