After seeing Cangsong leave, Taoist Tianyun told Daoxuan about his purpose of coming.
···
After leaving Yuqing Palace, Cangsong walked casually on Tongtian Peak.
After a while, we reached the back mountain.
In the Qingyun Sect, Cangsong is in charge of the punishment of the entire sect. In addition, the leader Daoxuan does not deal with common affairs on weekdays, so Cangsong often handles matters on Tongtian Peak.
Now he is wandering alone on Tongtian Peak and no one dares to come and take care of him.
There is a winding path leading deep into the back mountain. Cangsong stood in the middle of the path, looking ahead at the tranquility hidden deep in the forest.
He knew that if he went deeper, the path under his feet would lead him to the ancestral hall.
Cangsong has been to the ancestor's ancestral hall several times over the past century, but he has never seen the one-armed old man who was punished for what he did.
If that person was really his senior brother, he probably wouldn't want to see him like this.
After standing on the forest path and thinking for a while, Cangsong left the path and walked into the dense and deep mountain forest.
The figure gradually disappeared under the shadow of the mountain forest.

On Luoxia Peak
The master has gone to Tongtian Peak, and several uncles are practicing in the back mountains. Now the small village of Luoxia Peak is filled with an atmosphere of celebration.
Because few people usually walk down the mountain, every time a senior brother comes back from the mountain, many people will gather in the courtyard of that senior brother to listen to him talk about what happened during the time when he went down the mountain. On the one hand, they are curious about the outside world, and on the other hand, they are curious about the outside world.
It adds a bit of cheerful popularity to the cold monastic atmosphere on Luoxia Peak.
Qin Chong's small courtyard looks like this at the moment.
The courtyard is now full of people. The square stone table in the small courtyard has been placed somewhere. Now there is a large rectangular dining table placed in the courtyard, which is enough for dozens of people to sit at the same time.
At the table.
Even so, there was a large table set up outside the courtyard near the gate.
Most of the brothers and sisters on Luoxia Peak have come to Qin Zhong's small courtyard. However, the courtyard is too small, so more than half of them are sitting outside the courtyard now.
The last time Qin Zhong went to Kongsang Mountain for training, only a dozen senior brothers came to listen to his story. That was because three or four people went out for training in a small group like last time, and there were still more and more people on Luoxia Peak every few years.
Once.
Although the last experience was a bit special for Qin Zhong, it was just an ordinary thing for the senior brothers on Luoxia Peak and did not attract much attention.
But this time the experience is different. The Liupo Mountain incident mobilized the elites of the four peaks of Qingyun Sect and the leader of the two strands.
Such a huge deployment of personnel was the first for the Qingyun Sect in a century.
Therefore, the brothers and sisters on Luoxia Peak are very interested.
So, now almost all the brothers who heard the news on Luoxia Peak came over to listen to Qin Zhong's storytelling.
As for why we didn't find a more spacious place to gather, it was because at the beginning, no one expected that so many brothers and sisters would come over.
So we only set up one table in the courtyard. More people gathered behind it, but everyone was a Qing Xiu from the mountains and didn't care about ostentation, so we set up a few more tables outside the courtyard.
Qin Chong did not talk about all the things on Liupo Mountain one by one, but only selected the happy, spectacular things that were useful to the atmosphere of the scene and shared them with everyone.
Laughing and joking with everyone, enjoying the happy time on the mountain.
"Speaking of which, the strange beast Kui Niu is more than ten feet tall. It is majestic, ferocious and ferocious. One of its legs is as tall as the giant pillar holding up the sky!"
Qin Zhong got up as he spoke, and slapped his palms hard on the table with a loud bang.
The second senior brother who was sitting nearby said at this time: "Sixth senior brother, what you said is wrong."
The large piece of chicken drumstick he had just bitten was still wrapped in his mouth, and he said this with a whine and a slurred voice.
"I'm telling you, how can this majestic and spectacular thing be used to describe animals? You're using the wrong adjective. And, then..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Zhong: "Okay, Second Senior Brother, let me tell you, I have tolerated you for a long time, can't I control your mouth after eating so much?"
Yuan Zhen struggled to swallow the chicken in his mouth, and took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and said to Qin Zhong: "Sixth Junior Brother, you are wrong again. How can you not let me point out your mistakes?"
"Come on, come up and talk."
Qin Zhong sat down immediately: "I'm just tired of talking. Let's have a drink and eat something first."
The other brothers and sisters around him stopped and started shouting.
"Junior Brother Qin, don't just eat. Keep talking."
"That's right, no one talks about storytelling when eating this kind of food, so it tastes bad no matter what."
···
Qin Zhong replied while holding dishes: "Let the second senior brother speak, he can speak much better than me."
Xie Sanming said: "Forget it, the stories told by Junior Brother Yuan Zhen are very boring. He was telling bedtime stories, hehe."
The others also laughed.
Yuan Zhen said: "You guys, what's so funny? My stories have been carefully compiled, my words and sentences have been carefully thought out, and my literary quality can stand the test of time."
"The key is that no one listens."
"that is."
"It's very boring."
“It’s hard to understand even bedtime stories.”
"Don't delay Junior Brother Qin from telling the story, otherwise I'll have to tie you up and force-feed you today."
···
Yuan Zhen snorted: "Rotten wood cannot be carved."
Then he sat down and concentrated on eating. At this time, several senior brothers looked at each other and raised their wine glasses to drink with Yuan Zhen.
The second senior brother finally calmed down, and Qin Zhong began his life of storytelling again.
With a loud bang, he slapped the table: "It was too late to say it, but it was so quick at that time. I have quick eyes and quick hands, so I picked up the iron awl in one go!"
·····
On Dazhu Peak, Tian Buyi sent Chang Jian away, said a few words to Suru, then took the soul-eating stick with him and headed towards Tongtian Peak.
Zhang Xiaofan was still kneeling in front of the statue of the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasties.
Song Daren and others have already left.
Zhang Xiaofan was alone, with a very thin body, and looked lonely and pitiful.
Suru went up to talk to Zhang Xiaofan and asked him to get up and rest for a while.
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and kept kneeling there with determination in his eyes.
···
On Tongtian Peak, in the Yuqing Hall, Taoist Tianyun relayed everything Qin Zhong said to Daoxuan, and also shared some of his own thoughts during the process.
Daoxuan nodded frequently and occasionally said a few words. This communication seemed to be effective.
Tongtian Peak back mountain
The green pines kept moving forward in the dark woods, not far ahead was the ancestral temple.
At this moment, Cangsong restrained his aura and slowly approached.
