Not long after Bai Liming and Niu Erhu returned to their residence, Zuo Sisi hurried over.
After exchanging greetings and greetings with each other, in just a few days, it felt like they were in another world, almost separated from each other, and the three of them were filled with emotion.
While they were talking, Cui Bingwen and Tan Zhenzhen ran in panting, and they seemed to be running all the way without stopping.
Looking at the beautiful figure who was concerned about him, Bai Liming stood up in a hurry and was about to say a greeting.
That beautiful figure flew into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Bai Liming's body stiffened. He did not expect that Tan Zhenzhen would make such an intimate move in front of everyone.
For a moment, he felt a little embarrassed, holding his hands half-raised stiffly, not knowing how to place them.
At this time, Tan Zhenzhen also realized that this move was a bit abrupt. He let go of Bai Liming with a blushing face, and said softly with lowered eyebrows:
"Brother Ming, it's good if you come back. I heard that you were injured. I was in a hurry and lost my temper."
"It's true, I'm fine now, don't worry." Bai Liming's face turned red and he was completely embarrassed.
Cui Bingwen laughed, broke the awkward situation, stepped forward and patted Bai Liming's shoulder affectionately:
"Brother Baili turns disaster into good fortune. If you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune in the future."
Then he asked: "I heard that the demon killed many Taoist disciples this time, especially took out the golden elixir of the disciples of the Seventh Palace of the Taoist sect and used it to perform an evil ritual. Is this true?"
Bai Liming nodded and explained what happened. From the escape of the old demon Suixing, to the sowing of spiritual seeds more than ten years ago, and the experiments of "turning humans into monsters", "turning monsters into shapes" and other conspiracies, and finally to Xijing
A series of plans including closing the net, unsealing the physical body, taking away half of the heart of the Fuyao sacred tree, etc. were all described.
It just omitted the final battle, in which the Patriarch and the two leaders were almost killed on the spot.
Finally, he sighed: "Alas, my golden elixir was also taken away by the old devil Suixing and used to open the seal of Youbi Ding. Fortunately, my younger brother planted a spiritual seed in my Dantian, and I was able to save my life."
You have to take my life, otherwise, I will be separated from you forever and never be able to see each other again."
Hearing this, Tan Zhenzhen was shocked and asked: "Brother Ming, can you still condense the elixir again?"
Looking at the concerned eyes, Bai Liming suddenly remembered the previous dream, in which Tan Zhenzhen was very disappointed with his loss of the golden elixir.
For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. After hesitating and hesitating for a long time, he told the truth:
"Chief Li of the Five Elements Hall said that it is difficult to condense the elixir again. However, even if the elixir cannot be condensed, the spiritual seeds in my Dantian can still cast spells and it will not affect my practice. Zhenzhen, you don't have to worry."
Tan Zhenzhen felt a little more relaxed, but her face was still gloomy. She forced a smile and said: "As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
Zuo Sisi was good at observing people's behavior. When she saw Tan Zhenzhen behaving like this, she felt a little angry. However, she also understood her situation. She had been unable to condense her elixir for a long time. Both her family and herself were under heavy pressure.
In order to lighten the atmosphere, he changed the subject and talked about the scene of fighting the demon at Zhennanguan:
"Although we, as a reserve team, were responsible for repairing the city defense formation on the city wall, we did not face the monsters directly. But seeing those vicious beast monsters climbing up the city, I, Yuan Chaoxi, and Lu Xiaoyao were all frightened. However,
, there is no room for retreating at the moment of life and death..."
Hearing this, Bai Liming seemed to have remembered something, and he was still doubtful, so he interjected: "By the way, why didn't they come in Chao Xi?"
Zuo Sisi was stunned when he heard this, then pretended to be sad and sighed: "I was implicated by his father and was placed under house arrest by the Taoist sect."
"What? She was imprisoned by the Taoist sect in the morning and evening? What should we do? We have to find a way to save her!"
Baili Ming's mind flashed to another scene from another previous dream, in which Yuan Chaoxi was bound by iron chains and begging for him, and he suddenly became confused.
Zuo Sisi laughed and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, I was just joking. She is fine. She is not detained, but under house arrest, more precisely, grounded. After receiving the news of Yuan Jinsheng's rebellion that day, Yuan Chaoxi was arrested by the Taoist sect.
We are under surveillance. I thought I would come back to discuss the rescue with you, but I never thought that things would take a turn for the better."
"What's the turning point?" Bai Liming couldn't help but ask.
"As soon as she came back yesterday, her aunt, the head of the Kaiyang Palace Yanfa Hall, went to the Patriarch to argue. The Chief Wen was quite tough. He cried, made trouble, and hanged himself. The Patriarch couldn't resist and promised not to investigate Yuan Chaoxi anymore. It's just that.
In order to appease the disciples of Shengyang Xingjun, we have to wait until the Xingjun's emergence ceremony is over before announcing this matter. During this period, Yuan Chaoxi is temporarily hiding from the limelight at her aunt's house, and Xiaoyao is accompanying her."
"That's very good." Bai Liming let out a sigh of relief as the boulder in his heart fell to the ground.
Listening to the conversation between the two, especially Bai Liming's affectionate name of "Chao Xi" and his expression of concern from the bottom of his heart, Tan Zhenzhen became very jealous.
She was on pins and needles, and her already depressed mood due to the bleak future became even more depressed. Suddenly, Tan Zhenzhen stood up and said:
"Fellow Taoists, I'm sorry. I've been practicing so hard recently that I have some qi and blood stasis, and I feel uncomfortable. You guys can chat first, and I'll go back first."
Bai Liming took out a jade bottle with concern and asked hurriedly and with concern: "Zhenzhen, I have a pill to regulate the meridians. After you take it, it will be safer to rest here."
Tan Zhenzhen shook his head and said in a calm tone: "I am an outer disciple. I can't stay on Kaiyang Island for a long time, so I won't spoil everyone's sex."
With that said, he stood up to leave. Seeing that he couldn't hold him back, Baili Ming hurriedly stepped forward to see him off.
Tan Zhenzhen couldn't resist, and didn't want to embarrass him in front of everyone, so he didn't refuse.
When the two of them left the courtyard, they didn't expect that Tan Zhenzhen said coldly:
"Brother Ming, you have just recovered, so don't send me away. I can go back by myself and come to visit you another day."
Bai Liming said sincerely: "Zhenzhen, I'd better take you back to Longmen Island. You are sick. If there is an accident along the way, I can take care of you."
Tan Zhenzhen was irritated and said angrily: "Brother Ming, if you really like me, can you just leave me alone?"
Hearing this, Baili Ming froze on the spot, and was in a dilemma for a moment.
When Tan Zhenzhen saw this, she felt a little guilty. She reached out and touched Bai Liming's face and said softly:
"Don't think too much, I just need some space and time. I'll be fine in two days."
Bai Liming wanted to hold her hand and say something. Tan Zhenzhen quickly pulled it back and turned away, leaving him standing there blankly.
…
Tan Zhenzhen almost jogged all the way to the trestle by the lake, staring blankly at the sparkling lake, lost in thought.
Suddenly, a frivolous voice sounded from behind:
"Hey, when I went out today, there was a magpie chirping on the branch. It turned out that I was lucky enough to meet fellow Taoist Zhenzhen. Ah, what a wonderful day."
Tan Zhenzhen looked up according to the reputation, but he was met with a salivating look on his face.
