Mingxin Bamboo is red in color. It is a very expensive and scarce medicinal material. If a practitioner becomes obsessed with it, causing brain damage and mental confusion, taking Mingxin Bamboo will cure the disease.
Mingxinzhu is included in the medicine list for refining "Tongsheng Pills".
When Chen Dong wanted to find Ming Xinzhu, Pang Chengye mentioned Ming Xinzhu, which had to make Chen Dong feel confused.
But he still asked calmly: "I heard about it, what's the matter?"
Pang Chengye cried and said: "Senior Brother Chen, you also know that Junior Sister Bai and I are from the Jinding Sect... But in the past month, almost half of the Jinding Sect has been slaughtered because of this inexplicable Ming Xinzhu!"
Of course Chen Dong knew about the Jinding Sect. When he first entered Qingyun Temple, he participated in the recruitment in the name of a "disciple of the Jinding Sect".
Although Chen Dong has never been to the Jinding Sect and has never met the leader of the Jinding Sect, everyone thinks that he is from the Jinding Sect.
Hearing that the Jinding sect had almost been massacred, Chen Dong was naturally very surprised: "What's going on?"
Pang Chengye started crying and talking.
The Jinding Sect is located in the Taihang Mountains of Sanjin County. It is considered a medium-sized sect in the local area, with about five hundred members from top to bottom.
Bai Jialiang, the head of the Jinding Sect, who is also Pang Chengye's father-in-law and Bai Siying's father, is a fifth-level psychic master.
There are also protectors and elders, ranging from psychics to psychics.
In Sanjin County, the Jinding sect is not the strongest, but it is not weak either, and they live a harmonious and beautiful life.
But starting a month ago, a guy named "Liao Weicai" suddenly came to his door and said that the Jinding Sect had secretly stolen his Mingxin Bamboo and asked Bai Jialiang to hand it over.
Bai Jialiang had never seen any Mingxinzhu before, so of course he said there was none.
Liao Weicai became angry and said: "If you don't hand over Ming Xinzhu, I will kill ten of your disciples in one day!"
This Liao Weicai was quite powerful, and he was an eighth-level psychic. Bai Jialiang was no match for him, and he could only watch helplessly as he killed his own disciples.
Now a month has passed, and he has killed most of the Jinding Sect's disciples!
In desperation, Bai Jialiang had no choice but to send a letter to Pang Chengye and Bai Siying to see if he could ask an expert from Qingyunguan to help.
Pang Chengye and Bai Siying are just outer disciples. They watch people in Qingyun and talk lightly. How can they hire any masters?
The only master they know is Chen Dong!
But Chen Dong is getting more and more powerful now. He ranks first among the inner disciples and has long been beyond their reach. How could Pang Chengye and Bai Siying dare to disturb him easily?
If Chen Dong hadn't invited him to dinner tonight, they still wouldn't have had the courage to say these words!
After listening to the whole process, Chen Dong was also furious. Although he had no relationship with the Jinding Sect, he was a disciple of the Jinding Sect in name only, and he was a brother-in-law with Pang Chengye and Bai Siying. How could he sit idly by and watch?
Chen Dong jumped up and said angrily: "Liao Weicai, you are too arrogant! Let's go to the Jinding Sect now and find that person named Liao to settle this account!"
Chang Kong, Chang Liuyan and others also stood up and asked, "Do you need our help?"
"No, it's just an eighth-level psychic. I can kill him with just one finger. Everyone, let me take my leave first. Let's meet again later." Chen Dong walked out of the door, holding Pang Chengye in one hand and Bai Siying in the other, "Huh.
"It flew towards Sanjin County at once.
Although Sanjin County is right next to Zhongyuan County, the world here is very big after all, and even by flying, it would take several hours.
During this process, Chen Dong gradually calmed down, and some doubts arose in his heart unconsciously.
So he asked while flying: "You two are from Qingyun Temple, and Sect Leader Bai must have reported it. Logically speaking, most people should not dare to provoke him. What is the origin of this Liao Weicai, that he doesn't even take Qingyun Temple seriously?"
"
Pang Chengye sighed and said, "I don't know where this Liao Wei comes from. My father-in-law didn't tell me, but Junior Sister Bai and I are of low ability, so it's normal not to take us seriously."
Chen Dong was silent for a while, then asked: "Why did Liao Weicai believe that the Jinding Sect had stolen his Mingxin Bamboo?"
Pang Chengye said: "My father-in-law didn't say this either...but I guess it has something to do with my father-in-law's illness."
Chen Dong asked again: "What happened to your father-in-law?"
Pang Chengye hesitated, and finally said: "A few years ago, my father-in-law became obsessed with practicing martial arts, but he could suppress it with his own internal strength. However, this matter was a hidden danger for him, so he also looked around for it.
Ming Xinzhu... maybe it was because of this that Liao Wei thought it was him who did it."
Chen Dong said solemnly: "Did he do it?"
Pang Chengye immediately said anxiously: "Absolutely not! My father-in-law has been upright and aboveboard in his life, and he will never do such disgusting things!"
Bai Siying also said: "Yes, my father would never do such a thing!"
Chen Dong nodded and said nothing more.
A few hours passed quickly, and the three of them had entered Sanjin County. Following the instructions of Pang Chengye and Bai Siying, a long mountain range came into Chen Dong's sight.
Although it was already late at night, with the help of the moonlight and Chen Dong's strong eyesight, he could still see the entire mountain range clearly.
Taihang Mountain has arrived!
Yanzu created the Yanxia Continent in this world. Not only did the names of the cities imitate those of the Earth, but even the mountains had many identical names.
Under Pang Chengye's guidance, Chen Dong landed on a mountain peak. There were many scattered houses here, surrounded by walls as far as the eye could see.
Settling under the mountain gate, three big characters "Jinding Sect" hang on the beam.
As soon as they landed, Pang Chengye and Bai Siying hurried forward, pushed the door open and stepped inside.
"Father-in-law!"
"Father!"
The two of them ran into the door, with Chen Dong following closely behind. They saw darkness and silence in the entire Jinding Sect, with not even a ghost in sight. It was so empty that it made people feel chilled all over.
There is also a strong smell of blood floating in the air.
Is it possible that the Jinding Sect has been completely killed by Liao Weicai?
All three of them had a bad premonition in their hearts, but at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded, and an old man with a stooped figure was running out.
"Father-in-law!"
"Father!"
Pang Chengye and Bai Siying ran out at the same time and hugged the old man.
Obviously, this is Bai Jialiang, the leader of Jinding Sect.
The three of them hugged each other, each bursting into tears. Pang Chengye cried and asked: "Father-in-law, what is going on? Where are the others?"
Bai Jialiang was also in tears: "In the past month, most of the Jinding sect has died. How dare I let them stay any longer? I asked them all to go down the mountain yesterday!"
If you can't afford to offend, it's also a strategy to hide.
Bai Siying said: "Father, why don't you leave?"
Bai Jialiang shook his head and said, "I can't leave. This is my home. Where else can I go? Besides, Liao Weicai is just staring at me. No matter where I go, he will come for me!"
Pang Chengye gritted his teeth and said: "Father-in-law, you don't have to worry, we have invited experts from Qingyun Temple!"
"Oh? Where?"
"This is the master of Qingyun Temple!"
Pang Chengye turned his head, pointed at Chen Dong and said: "Father-in-law, he is the Chen Dong I told you about. Now he is the strongest inner disciple of Qingyun Temple!"
Chen Dong initially joined Qingyun Temple in the name of a "disciple of the Jinding Sect". Pang Chengye and Bai Siying wrote about this before, so of course Bai Jialiang had heard of him.
"You...are Chen Dong?!" Bai Jialiang looked at Chen Dong up and down, his expression naturally a little excited: "Are you now the strongest inner disciple of Qingyun Temple?"
Chen Dong took a step forward and said respectfully: "Master Bai, the 'strongest disciple' is just a false name. I am lucky enough to be ranked first for the time being..."
"Okay... okay..." Bai Jialiang became even more excited, holding Chen Dong's hand and saying, "With you here, you don't have to be afraid of that Liao Weicai!"
Then, Bai Jialiang took several people to his house.
Bai Jialiang was the only one in the entire Jinding sect, and even the work of making tea and pouring water had to be done by himself. Fortunately, Chen Dong and others came, which finally added some fireworks.
An oil lamp lit up, and Bai Jialiang talked about the past again. This month, the Jinding Sect has been living like hell!
"Every morning at dawn, the devil will come, kill ten disciples and then leave... He said that if I don't hand over Ming Xinzhu, I will kill all the Jinding sect!" At this point, Bai Jialiang burst into tears again.
, beating his chest and stamping his feet: "I've never seen any Mingxinzhu!"
Chen Dong and others were also furious upon hearing this.
"Master Bai, don't worry. When that guy comes tomorrow morning, I will kill him!" Chen Dong gritted his teeth.
"Thank you then..." Bai Jialiang stood up tremblingly, intending to bow to Chen Dong.
"Master Bai, you can't do it!" Chen Dong immediately stopped him.
But Chen Dong didn't stop him, but when he did, Bai Jialiang fell to the ground and started twitching all over.
"Father-in-law!"
"Father!"
Pang Chengye and Bai Siying were both extremely shocked. Chen Dong was also startled and quickly went up to help.
"It's okay...it's okay...the old habit happened again, I just need to suppress it..." Bai Jialiang secretly lucked out for a while and finally returned to normal.
Watching this scene, Chen Dong remained silent.
Pang Chengye had said before that Bai Jialiang had some signs of going crazy, but fortunately he was able to use his own inner strength to suppress it every time.
At this time, there was still some time before dawn, so everyone took a rest first.
Pang Chengye arranged a guest room for Chen Dong, and arranged Bai Jialiang and Bai Siying properly, then patrolled the yard to be on guard against Liao Weicai's sudden climb up the mountain.
In a certain room.
Bai Jialiang lay down and slept for a while, then suddenly sat up again and looked out the window. Only Pang Chengye was sitting in the yard.
A piece of bamboo, exuding fragrance and red in color, suddenly appeared in his hand...
