A gentle and beautiful woman sat on a stone bench, closing her eyes slightly to relax.
She took the teacup and took a sip.
He said with a somewhat reproachful tone, "Knowing that Jin Wushang is going north in person, you still staying here are taking a bit of a risk."
Bai Lingyu didn't feel nervous at all, "The disciple also sensed that the teacher was nearby, so he stayed to wait for him."
"Uncle Jin is also very interesting. He always wants to create trouble for the teacher through his disciples, but he doesn't know that the teacher has another identity, that is, the secret elder of the Qinglian Sect.
Everything he did was so clear and obvious, yet he thought it was so well hidden."
The beautiful woman sighed, "Junior Brother Jin's methods are too ruthless, and he dares to risk the disapproval of the world and prepares to use the people of a city for blood refining.
As a result, I had to rush to stop his plan. If he successfully implemented it, it would definitely cause a shock to the sect. Not to mention the Red Lantern Society, the entire Qinglian Sect would probably be destroyed..."
Speaking of this, the beautiful woman suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise, "Did you just say that you were aware of my arrival before you were summoned as a master?"
"Teacher Mingjian."
She was smiling like a coquettish girl.
"Okay, okay, okay!" The beautiful woman opened her eyes and said three good words in a row, her eyes shining brightly.
"As a teacher, I never expected that Ling Yu's progress in practicing Tongxin Knot would be far beyond my expectations."
She drank the scalding tea in the cup in one gulp, "In this case, I can rest assured as a teacher."
Bai Lingyu said, "Disciple can go back with you now and help the teacher open the door to the martial arts master."
Gong Yuan smiled half-heartedly and raised his eyebrows, "Why do you want to go back? I think this place is very good. It's remote and secluded, and no one will disturb you."
"Teacher, what do you mean, are you going to retreat here?"
"Death barrier is just a term. It does not mean that people can't escape and cut off contact with the outside world.
Your master, back then, was observing all things in the world, appreciating the various conditions of the world, and then he went to the shores of the East China Sea to sit and watch the ebb and flow of the tide, and finally transcended the realm of mystery and became a great master."
Bai Lingyu frowned and said thoughtfully, "Disciple rarely mentioned the teacher's affairs in the past."
Gong Yuan's face turned gloomy, as if he was recalling some bad past events, and he just sighed softly, "I won't tell you because there is no need to say it. From now on, don't mention this matter again."
"Disciple understands."
Bai Lingyu refilled the cup with tea, "Since the teacher is planning to retreat here, why didn't he keep Uncle Jin behind instead of letting him escape with his life?"
"With this person on my side, I feel that it is not safe after all."
Gong Yuan slowly shook his head.
"No matter what, he is also a warrior who has passed the sixth level of Qi and blood. After the sixth level, he has practiced hard on the turtle and snake energy, reaching the perfect level of entering the energy where the energy covers the body and the Hunyuan is unified;
The year before last, I started practicing internal organs training again, and I can be considered a great martial artist.
It is not difficult for me to hurt him, but if I want to take his life, I still have some concerns about his deathbed counterattack.
This may break the long-standing Shuiyue state of mind, which is completely worth the loss."
"But my master has already broken his turtle-snake energy, dispersed the energy and blood in his acupoints, and injected a force into his internal organs.
If Junior Brother Jin doesn't want to die, he will never come to look for me again in the near future, and he can't take action with all his strength, otherwise it will be self-destruction, and it will be difficult for Daluo Immortal to save it."
"The tortoise and the snake are intertwined, and life is stronger than gold." Bai Lingyu sighed with emotion, but also had some doubts, "The disciple has always wanted to know whether the tortoise and snake strength of our sect is related to the Xuanwu True Solution of Xuanwu Tao."
"Of course there is a relationship. This matter can even be traced back many years ago. When the Zhou Dynasty was first established, it was already unclear who was right and who was wrong."
Speaking of this, Gong Yuan let out a faint sigh, "Junior Brother Jin is still wandering in the wilderness before he can really leave. I guess he is extremely angry in his heart, but he doesn't dare to get close to this place at all."
Bai Lingyu's eyes widened, "Teacher can actually sense Uncle Jin's position?"
“Of course we can’t determine the exact location, we just know he’s still nearby.
Once you enter the realm of profound senses and reach your current level as a teacher, you will be able to feel the power of your own energy and blood..."
Bai Lingyu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked, "Teacher just said that he didn't want to break his mood, but why did he still go to find the whereabouts of Sun Xiyue? Her strength level may still be higher than that of Master Jin."
"I went down the mountain to look for Sun Daozi because I wanted to see the path she took. Even if I get into trouble by fighting her, it's still worth it."
"Even the teacher is not sure of victory?"
Bai Lingyu's pupils shrank and her eyes were surprised, "Then Sun Xiyue is so powerful!?"
"As the most high-profile Taoist disciple of Xuanwu Tao for decades, her understanding, talent, and strength are naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
If she had not been injured and her strength had not been compromised, I wouldn’t dare to say whether I could defeat her..."
When the beautiful woman said this, she asked as if unintentionally, "Lingyu, where are the rubbings you took from my study?"
Bai Lingyu's smile suddenly froze, and after a moment he said coquettishly, "My disciple studied for a long time and found that those things were of no use, so he gave them away casually."
"Giving it away?"
"Who did you give it to?"
The beautiful woman's hand holding the tea trembled slightly, and she involuntarily raised her voice.
"A disciple from a martial arts school in Cangyuan City. I'll look for him when I get back and get my things back."
She smiled awkwardly, "Teacher, what is that rubbing called, and what is its use?"
"I don't know what they are for."
The woman looked up at the dim sky, seemingly in a trance, "A long time ago, before Sun Xiyue defected, my teacher saw her holding the same things while observing and playing with them, so he tried to find some.
Unfortunately, after studying for a long time, I found nothing, so I casually put it as a bookmark.
What’s interesting is that Junior Brother Jin discovered that I was like this, so he also made great efforts to collect some rubbings, but in the end he gained nothing.”
Speaking of this, she glanced at her disciple and said, "You stole those rubbings, my master knew it from the beginning.
I originally thought that if you were the one to do the research, you might actually be able to figure out some secrets from it.
But I never expected that a prodigal child like you would be given away directly."
Bai Lingyu said categorically, "Teacher, don't worry, I will find that person when I get back and ask for the things back intact."
Gong Yuan nodded slightly, "Although I don't know what the use of those rubbings is, but they allow Sun Xiyue to observe and play with them all the time, so she must have a reason..."
She suddenly shut up and looked outside the courtyard.
There was a faint noise, mixed in the wind.
"Is there anyone else in this village?" she asked.
"Just a young apprentice from a martial arts school in the city."
Bai Lingyu said, "The disciple originally planned to kill them directly, but after thinking carefully, he decided not to mess with their toys, so as not to cause too much emotional fluctuations in them.
At that time, it will be a trivial matter to disturb the disciple's state of mind, but if it affects the teacher's plan, it will be completely worth the loss."
"Well, you did a good job...huh!?"
Gong Yuan's expression suddenly changed mid-sentence, and he immediately closed his eyes and thought quietly.
After a long time, she slowly exhaled a breath, "Jin Wushang, he is dead."
"I never expected that in this remote wilderness, someone could really force him to the point where he had to use all his strength.
This triggered the force that I penetrated into his body, causing his internal organs to break and he died."
……………………
Black clouds are rolling in and the cold wind is howling.
The temperature drops sharply.
Not long after, another snowflake fell,
The world between heaven and earth is completely white.
However, in such bad weather, a graceful and graceful figure quietly arrived.
The palace and garden are walking in the depths of the wilderness.
Although he was wearing a thin layer of single clothes, he turned a blind eye to the wind and snow in the sky, as if it was just the breeze blowing on his face and he was not worried about it.
She seemed to be walking in the back garden of her home, with a relaxed expression and graceful demeanor.
But with a single step, you can directly cross a distance of several feet.
Silent and silent, as if the ground had shrunk to an inch.
One moment he was still in the woods, and a moment later he was crossing the river.
And ten feet away behind her, there was a figure in white clothes and a white skirt running wildly.
Bai Lingyu's body was filled with qi and blood, and the muscles in his legs were trembling rapidly. Every time he landed and jumped up, a large mass of mud and rocks would explode.
Only in this way can we catch up with the wandering courtyard of the palace garden without being pushed too far away.
Click!
The shoes without any trace of moisture fell down and stepped on a broken long knife.
Gong Yuan suddenly stopped and turned his head to look to one side.
"Teacher, there are corpses here." Bai Ling Yuxiang was dripping with sweat, her whole body was steaming with heat, and she landed among a pile of corpses with severed arms.
Suddenly her eyes narrowed, "Long Sheng is also dead. His bones were broken with fists and feet, and his neck was cut off with a long knife."
Gongyuan just glanced at the corpse in the distance, then looked away, turning her head to observe the footprints that were about to be covered with snow.
Each footprint is several inches deep.
It extends all the way into the distance.
The two of them followed the footprints and finally stopped beside a pile of rocks.
Gong Yuan observed carefully for a moment and then said directly, "Jin Wushang died here."
She kept walking around, checking for traces left after the battle.
As time goes by, the originally blurry picture is becoming clearer little by little.
"There is only one person who fought against him. His strength level is not that strong. He should be at level three of Qi and Blood, and at most he should not exceed level four."
"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be..."
Gong Yuan frowned, with a confused expression.
"Given Jin Wushang's physical condition, if he wants to leave, it is almost impossible for that person to stop him."
"Even if that person's body skills are outstanding and he can catch up with Jin Wushang's speed, as long as he dares to get within ten steps of Junior Brother Jin, he will just die in vain."
"However, my junior brother Jin actually gave up his life and burst out his energy and blood to fight for his life. It is really puzzling."
Suddenly, a shout came from afar.
"Teacher, there are a lot of hidden weapons scattered here."
Gong Yuan's eyes flashed, and when he looked at the pile of rocks, all the doubts in his heart were immediately solved.
"It seems that Junior Brother Jin is really unlucky to encounter such a strange enemy.
He kept wandering around the perimeter with his quick movements, and kept firing hidden weapons to harass him, without giving him any chance to make a sudden move.
Considering Junior Brother Jin's physical condition, if time drags on for too long, he will indeed collapse.
Either you will be eaten alive, or you will have no choice but to risk your life and try to die with that person."
She stood still, bowing her head in silence for a long time.
