After walking on the mountain road for a day, Li Ping'er was exhausted.
So after Xi Zhong carried Li Ping'er back, he asked Li Ping'er to sit next to the fire and wait for the big meal.
In fact, this time in the morning was spent walking on the mountain road.
In the afternoon, I also spent walking on the mountain trail.
In addition, Xi Zhong had to carry two water spirit snakes and a small bottle in the afternoon, so his pace naturally slowed down a lot.
So when Xi Zhong returned to the outer gate, it was already afternoon.
After I gave the Water Spirit Snake to Manager Zhang and chatted with Manager Zhang for a while, it was getting late.
At this moment, only half of the sun was left in the sky, and the clouds turned from white to red.
After Xi Zhong returned to the thatched cottage, he first took a knife and cut off the head of the sleeping water snake, and then lit a fire to carry water.
After all, the water spirit snake was just comatose and not dead.
So in order to prevent the water spirit snake from waking up, Xi Zhong took a knife and killed the water spirit snake first.
Xi Zhong went to the bamboo forest again and fetched a piece of bamboo, cut it into bamboo sticks, skewered the chopped and washed snake meat and roasted it on the fire.
The snake meat on the flames sizzles and the fragrance is tangy.
Xiao Ping'er had already been shaking her calves, looking at the snake meat with a greedy expression.
Xi Zhong couldn't help laughing when he saw this, "Xiao Ping'er, other girls are so scared when they see this kind of snake, let alone eat it, but you are not only not afraid, but also like to eat it. I'm afraid you are not a
A female man."
Xiao Ping'er blushed when he heard this, and then asked in a low voice: "Brother Xi Zhong, doesn't Ping'er look like a girl?"
"It looks like it. If we talk about appearance, it definitely looks like it. So cute." Xi Zhong said while roasting snake meat.
"No way." Xiao Ping'er's pretty face became more and more rosy, and she didn't know whether it was from the fire or the heat.
Then she asked again: "Brother Xi Zhong, you still say that I am a tomboy."
Xi Zhong smiled and said: "It's just that they have similar personalities. They are strong, smart and not weak."
Xiao Ping'er asked: "Then should I change it?"
Xi Zhong shook his head, "What should I change? This small bottle is just right."
After a pause, Xi Zhong asked: "By the way, Ping'er, when is the strength test for the outer door to enter the inner door?"
Li Ping'er thought for a while and replied: "I heard from Manager Zhang that it seems to be in three months."
"Three months." Xi Zhong looked up at the sky and murmured, "I don't know if I can get a spiritual root in three months."
Li Ping'er blinked and said nothing.
Xi Zhong sprinkled cumin on the roasted snake meat and handed it to the small bottle.
The small bottle happily took it, and then ate it in small sips, very politely, but very quickly.
Xi Zhong smiled when he saw this, didn't think too much, and just enjoyed the delicious food.
Take a bite of a piece of sizzling, oily and fragrant snake meat, and your mouth will be filled with fragrance.
This is the first time Xi Zhong has eaten the meat of spiritual animals. It tastes really good, much better than the pigs, chickens and ducks raised by individuals.
A water snake is just enough to fill the stomachs of two people.
This is also the reason why Xi Zhong gave a water spirit snake to Manager Zhang.
Because Xi Zhong and Li Ping'er couldn't eat that much, and because meat couldn't be stored in this hot weather, the meat would easily stink.
After all, there are no refrigerators in this world.
And Xi Zhong doesn’t have that kind of high-end storage bag.
The only storage bag obtained from Han Lue cannot be used casually, because it belongs to Han Lue. After obtaining it, Xi Zhong put the storage bag and the iron armor talisman under his bed.
Take it out easily...
Thinking of this, Xi Zhong was a little worried again.
I don’t know how Han Lue’s story has spread in the inner sect, and how the elders will deal with Han Lue’s disappearance.
…
Fall into the inner gate of Zen sect, inside the elder sect hall.
All ten elders of Luo Chan Sect were present.
Sitting at the head were a middle-aged man in purple robe and an old man in yellow robe.
Among the remaining eight elders, Li Muran and the woman in green were present.
The middle-aged man in purple robe is Wen Xinyuan, the first elder of Luo Chan Sect, and the old man in yellow robe is Yue Bin, the second elder.
Although the Great Elder Wen Xinyuan only looks middle-aged, he is actually older than anyone here, and half of his feet have already entered the spiritual realm.
As long as you step into the spiritual realm, your appearance will last forever.
The reason why the leader of the Luo Chan Sect is wise and senile is because of the sequelae left behind when he accepted the inheritance from the ancestors of the Luo Chan Sect. At the same time, his lifespan is limited, so his appearance cannot last forever. At the same time, he will never be able to break through the spiritual realm and step into the Bigu.
territory.
A normal person like Wen Xinyuan, who has only half a foot in the spiritual realm, can maintain his appearance and have a long life span of seven hundred years.
At this moment, the Great Elder looked around at everyone, and then slowly said: "This time you are gathering in the Elder's Hall to discuss the matter of Han Lue's defection."
"Then why did Han Lue defect?" asked a young man in white. This young-looking elder was named "Xia Yuchen" and was the youngest elder in the Luo Chan Sect.
After Xia Yuchen asked, Li Muran smiled and replied: "I heard that he obtained the legendary famous sword 'Long Yuan' in that sword tomb. He refused to continue to be an elite disciple in our sect, so
Then he defected, probably thinking of using the famous sword 'Long Yuan' to train his Taoist mind, increase his cultivation level, break through the Foundation Establishment Realm, and enter the Consecrated Light Realm."
Another old man in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "According to the rules of our Luo Chan Sect, any disciple who has entered the Consecration Realm is qualified to enter the Elder Sect Hall and become an elder. If Han Lue can step into the Elder Clan with the help of the famous sword Long Yuan,
If you enter the enlightenment realm, you should be able to become an elder in the Luo Chan Sect. If you don't want to be a disciple, then we can naturally give you the role of an elder, so why should he defect?"
Li Muran smiled again and said: "Perhaps his ambition is not to be an elder?"
As soon as this statement came out.
The elders in the ancestral hall were stunned for a moment.
"Mu Ran, do you really mean what you said?" Wen Xinyuan asked aloud.
"It's just a guess." Li Muran smiled.
At this time, Yue Bin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled and asked: "Are you really sure that Han Lue's defection is true? Isn't that disciple lying?"
As soon as Yue Bin said this, the other elders nodded slightly, yes, it is hard to say that the disciple was not lying about this matter.
"What's that disciple's name?" Xia Yuchen asked.
"My name is Xi Zhong, an outer disciple. I have only been in the sect for a few days."
Xia Yuchen asked again: "Since he is an outer sect disciple, how come Han Lue, who is an elite disciple of the inner sect, inexplicably went to find an outer sect disciple and brought this outer sect disciple into the sword tomb of the inner sect?
"
Li Muran smiled and said: "The disciple explained that Han Lue took him into the inner sword tomb in order to awaken the famous sword Long Yuan."
Xia Yuchen frowned and asked again: "Is Xi Zhong a swordsman genius? Can he actually awaken Long Yuan?"
Li Muran shook his head slightly, "I don't think so."
The second elder, Yue Bin, looked at the elders and said with a smile: "Do you think you should bring Xi Zhong to the inner gate for investigation?"
The woman in green said coldly: "I don't think it's necessary."
The other elders looked at each other, shook their heads, and expressed their attitudes: "I'm just an outer disciple, there's no need to make such a fuss."
After hearing Xinyuan's situation, he smiled and said, "That's it? Is this how Han Lue's defection is settled?"
"Of course we can't forget it like this." Li Muran said with a smile: "Why do we say that Han Lue is an elite disciple of our Luo Chan Sect's inner sect. We can't figure out whether he really obtained Long Yuan, so we should send someone to sword
Zhong will investigate first, and then issue a wanted order to arrest Han Lue. After all, this matter is related to the face of our Luo Chan Sect, and we still have to pick up the face."
"So, do you think what the fifth elder said is feasible?" Wen Xinyuan turned to look at the elders and asked.
The elders stroked their beards and thought deeply.
The twelfth elder Xia Yuchen said with a smile: "I think what the fifth elder said is reasonable."
As the fourth elder, the woman in green clothes was still extremely indifferent and said: "I have no objection."
After saying that, he got up and walked outside.
She didn't want to pay attention to these complicated affairs of the sect.
When she got up and walked outside, the elder Wen Xinyuan's eyes narrowed. When he looked at the graceful body of the woman in green, his pupils flashed with an extremely secretive look of greed, and then he smiled and said: "Since
If the fourth elder doesn’t have any objection, then according to my opinion, let’s follow the fifth elder’s approach.”
Yue Bin just laughed.
Seeing that the great elder had set the tone for this matter, the other elders stood up and left.
Li Muran did the same, with his big sleeves fluttering and walking away in the wind.
In the end, only the eldest elder Wen Xinyuan and the second elder Yue Bin were left in the elder sect.
"Everything about this matter is fishy. Do you really want to check it carefully?" Yue Bin asked with a smile.
Wen Xinyuan shook his head and said: "Actually, I have sensed Long Yuan's disappearance. In fact, it doesn't matter whether Han Lue defected or not. He is just an elite disciple. If he loses it, he will lose it. Just send someone to chase him.
, it’s just that losing Long Yuan really makes me feel uncomfortable.”
Yue Bin said: "In the past hundred years, we have made enough efforts, but we still cannot awaken Long Yuan. Now that Long Yuan has disappeared, doesn't it prove that Long Yuan has indeed been awakened? For us, this is
Good thing, Han Lue is only at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he is still far away from the Consecrated Light Realm. Even if he obtains Long Yuan, he will not be able to break through to the Consecrated Light Realm in a short time, so we will just send people to find him."
Wen Xinyuan nodded, "After what you said, is Han Lue's defection still a good thing for us?"
"Of course it's a good thing." Yue Bin said: "As for the outer disciple named Xi Zhong, let's not care about it for now. Let's capture Han Lue first. As long as Long Yuan gets it, we can ignore other things."
Wen Xinyuan asked: "What if Long Yuan is not with Han Lue?"
Yue Bin smiled slightly, "If Long Yuan is not with Han Lue, then we can talk to the disciple named Xi Zhong. Anyway, that Xi Zhong is just a waste with no cultivation and can be manipulated by us at any time. On the contrary,
After all, Han Lue is a monk at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If he is really determined to escape, it will be really difficult for us to catch him, so the top priority is to capture Han Lue first."
