"Senior Brother Lu! What are you talking about!" Wang Linghuan's eyes widened in horror and she looked at Lu Jin'an who spoke astonishingly. In her impression, this third senior brother who always treated her tenderly and considerately was always an easy talker, even to other disciples.
, is also strict and strict, but whenever she makes a mistake, nine times out of ten, it will be Lu Jinan who will take the responsibility for her, and the remaining time, it will be her senior brother Hou Xingyuan who will take the responsibility.
So when this third senior brother, who was kind to others and had a harmonious smile every time he saw him, claimed that he wanted to invite people to die, and he was their common preaching teacher. Wang Linghuan couldn't believe that these were the words coming from Lu Jinan's mouth.
The Taoist nun's face turned pale in an instant, because she spoke hurriedly and slurred: "Senior brother... you said the wrong thing... are you too tired... or have you had too many things lately?
Too much pressure..."
Lu Jinan shook his head and said resolutely: "I'm not joking, little junior sister. You may not understand it at first, but Master has his reasons for dying."
Xi Huan listened to the argument between the two senior brothers and his sister, and his eyes on the young Taoist changed again. Even the young man himself did not expect that Lu Jinan would go to such great lengths and even spend several precious talismans to call him out, just for the sake of
Such an act of deceiving one's master and destroying one's ancestors.
Xi Huan looked at Ah Qing next to him with a strange expression, and said with emotion: "It seems that this Honghu Mountain View does not support idlers."
After coming into contact with the disciples of Honghu Mountain Temple these few times, the most intuitive feeling given to the young man is that this mountain temple... is very down-to-earth. Yes, even if there is a senior brother like Hou Xingyuan, he has met with Xi Huan more than once
There were life-and-death battles, but overall, Xi Huan couldn't say how much he disliked this mountain view.
The main reason is still because of the existence of Wang Linghuan. Although the little Taoist nun did not deal with them at all, and even tended to cause trouble, but if you really want to evaluate this young woman who has never experienced anything in the world, Xi Huan can only say that her elders will treat Wang Linghuan.
Very well taken care of.
This kind of goodness can always be reflected in many details. Whether it is the bundle of fine fairy-binding ropes around the waist or the girl's talk in the mountain view life, it proves that no matter how harmful the Honghu Mountain View is to the outside world,
Even if everything is done, at least he still cares for the disciples on the mountain.
Such a Taoist temple may be suppressed by external forces and eventually be submerged in the torrent of history, but Xi Huan never imagined that it would begin to disintegrate from within. Therefore, the young man naturally felt that there was something wrong with Lu Jinan, the third senior brother.
Reasons for people to say.
Xi Huan glanced at the young Taoist vigilantly and said coldly: "Taoist Master Lu, you have to talk about reasons and consequences when doing things. You threatened to ask Dongling to help you deceive the master. Let's not talk about the reasons. This thing itself is against the right path. We and our group
You still have important things to worry about now, and it is difficult for the Clay Bodhisattva to cross the river to protect himself. It is really unintentional and powerless to ask us to involve you in the affairs of the inner gate of the mountain temple."
Lu Jinan, however, seemed to be expecting it, and smiled mockingly, not caring at all about the clear rejection in Xi Huan's words. He no longer cared about his junior sister's temper. At this time, the young Taoist's eyes changed, and his temperament became gentle and reserved.
Nothing was left, only a sharp breath was released, and two rays of cold light shot out from those narrow eyes.
Wang Linghuan, who was closest to Lu Jinan, subconsciously took two steps back. She couldn't hide her sadness when she looked at this senior brother who was completely different from the past.
Different from this side, the demon girl on the other side took a step forward, stood guardly in front of Xi Huan, looked at the young Taoist surrounded by the three of them, and reminded the young man behind her: "Master, be careful! He has broken through.
sign."
Xi Huan suddenly remembered that when they met on the reed plain, Ah Qing had said that this Taoist had the cultivation to climb to the eighth floor of the Tower Realm. Breaking the realm at this time also meant that with the strength of the ninth floor, he had a chance to compete with Ah Qing.
bump.
The demon girl is not worried about this. Although her realm is the ninth floor, her ninth floor is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary monks. Coupled with her fire skills and natal magical powers, even the Yuan Shan who went to Honghu Mountain Temple can
Taoist, the girl is also confident that she can run away if she can't be beaten.
Lu Jinan, who was stared at by three pairs of vigilant eyes, sighed, and finally stopped breathing out. Then the aura around him actually dropped, and soon the surging aura of the monk when he broke through completely dissipated. Young
The Taoist seemed to have suffered backlash from this move, and he groaned, his still sharp face turning pale for a moment.
Monk Ah Qingzhang was confused and looked at the Taoist in front of him like a fool. He said in puzzlement: "Master, he is in trouble, and there are still people who take the initiative to give up the opportunity to break through. He must not be a fool. Cooperating with this kind of thing,
I'm afraid, Master, you will be cheated."
Xi Huan twitched his lips and looked a little embarrassed. He was very familiar with what Lu Jinan was doing at this time. He had experienced pressure in Nanhuai City before, but Aqing was not there at the time. So Lu Jinan's experience,
Xi Huan can generally feel the same. Now that the demon girl is openly scolding him for being stupid, Xi Huan feels that he has also been affected.
"Now is not the time," Lu Jinan muttered to himself, then looked at Xi Huan and said, "Xi Huan, I know you can't trust me, which is why I brought you here."
As he spoke, the young Taoist pointed to the group of people in the distance behind him, and said with a gloomy look: "These dead people are more or less related to Honghu Mountain Temple, and among them are my disciples of Shanguan who are buried here. My master and the imperial court
Do you know what he did?"
Xi Huan recalled the secrets of the imperial court that Pu Yu had mentioned at that time and nodded hesitantly.
Wang Linghuan's expression was complicated. Lu Jinan said this matter so straightforwardly, which also meant that the previous dispute about this matter in the Jin Mansion had already been broken.
Lu Jinan continued: "Then do you know, aside from the matter of colluding with the imperial court, what shameful things has Shanguan done secretly over the years? Senior Brother assassinated Young Master Jinlu, and hiring someone to kill someone was just one of them.
, Master, why was he able to vouch for that Master Jin back then, paving the way for Master Jin Lu to cultivate immortality? How many lives had to be sacrificed behind this? You sword cultivators in Dongling were born shouting "Golden Spoon" since you were young. You must have never seen it.
."
Xi Huan frowned. He had never been involved in the matter of giving ordinary people spiritual roots and immortal bones, so [expression] Lu Jinan said he could not imagine the bloody and shameful things behind the scenes.
"I don't know..." the young man admitted, "but this is still your Shanguan's own business. Just because you, Lu Jin'an, have a thousand reasons and ten thousand reasons to kill people, it doesn't mean that we are also obliged to act chivalrously.
"
The young Taoist couldn't help laughing: "That's right! You really have no obligation to help. The practice of Taoism is basically about the jungle. It's not much more noble than the intrigues of the secular dynasties at the foot of the mountain. In order to take one more step to reach the path of immortality, how many fellow disciples fought to the death and how many?
Relatives and friends turn against each other?"
Xi Huan looked away from the young Taoist who was smiling gradually crazily, and said in a dark tone: "In this case, then Taoist Master Lu also understands that this cooperation cannot be negotiated."
Lu Jinan still smiled widely and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, Xi Huan, the reasons mentioned above are just my reasons. The reason why I say so much is to let you know, the reason why I, Lu Jinan, did this shameful thing
The reason for the human thing is that I can't understand it! I can't understand that this century-old mountain temple has been reduced to a lackey of the secular dynasty step by step under the leadership of Master. I can't understand why a Taoist temple with a clean facade has so many bloody people behind its back.
Transaction. Among the people who pay homage to their loved ones, many of them have never seen their own flesh and blood again since they were born. Just because their children have so-called spiritual talent, the mountain view euphemistically calls them to take disciples and take them away...
..."
Lu Jinan thought of the immortal ancestor Honghu. Originally, he planned to hide these words in his heart and never tell anyone for the rest of his life. He would just be a mountain temple Taoist priest. But that night, he saw what he had originally said for the rest of his life.
When a founder who could shock the entire Eastern Continent unexpectedly appeared in the small mountain temple with no hope of success, something that had been silent in Lu Jin'an's heart began to sprout.
