Pei Jing was stunned and leaned back subconsciously.
Chu Junyu's pale fingers paused on the sword, and the stiff look disappeared in an instant. His eyes fell back on Pei Jing's face and he said, "I don't use the sword often."
Pei Jing sat cross-legged, not paying attention, and just smiled: "That's really strange, a sword cultivator doesn't use the sword often."
Changtian Secret Realm is a very ordinary forest valley, with trees hugging each other and blocking out the sun. There is no danger, so there is no need to form a team. After entering the secret realm, everyone said goodbye and acted separately. After all, no one knows when the opportunity will come.
Pei Jing asked Chu Junyu if he wanted to join them. Chu Junyu looked at him and turned away.
Pei Jing stood in front of a tree, stuffed a candy into his mouth, and said helplessly: "Okay, I hope you can find adventures in there."
The aura of Taoist Yunxiao remained in the Changtian Secret Realm, and Pei Jing had met him several times and received his enlightenment, so he felt a sense of familiarity with the plants and animals here. Therefore, many spirit beasts came to him and touched him intimately.
He had been here when he was young, and had seen the place thoroughly inside and out, so he had no interest in exploring it further.
As time went by, Pei Jing tasted all the fruits in the forest. When he was washing his hands by the river, a five-colored deer suddenly jumped out of the forest. It looked panicked, and there was a wound on its leg that was slashed and bleeding. Seeing Pei Jing like a relative, the deer came over with tears in its eyes and hid behind Pei Jing.
Pei Jing was stunned, rubbed its head with his hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The Five-Colored Deer whimpered and did not answer him. However, the monk who came hurriedly behind him confessed first.
"Zhang Yiming, go away! We found the deer first!"
The aggressive leader was the one who wanted to teach Chu Junyu a lesson that night. The four younger brothers behind him did not change either, and everyone held a longbow in their hands, which showed that they had secretly made preparations before entering the Changtian Secret Realm.
Pei Jing patted the head of the five-colored deer soothingly, and his eyes fell on the bows and arrows in their hands, and he said coldly: "What are you doing with the bows in your hands?"
The leader was furious: "What do you care? Just get out of here! This deer is our prey, get out of here!"
"prey?"
Thinking about this, Pei Jingqi laughed: "I sent my ancestors to leave this secret place for the benefit of the younger generation, and you treat it like this?"
These people hated Chu Junyu very much, but they were helpless as the strength gap was too big and they could not defeat him. They could only hide their hatred in their hearts. After holding it in for a long time, they began to dislike Pei Jing, who was very close to Chu Junyu.
The eldest brother looked back and saw that the four younger brothers were holding weapons in their hands. With more people and more momentum, he felt confident and turned back to Pei Jing and shouted angrily: "Why are you talking so much nonsense! I just want to ask you if you want to leave or not. If you don't, don't blame us for being rude! In the Changtian Secret Realm, it is not against the rules to fight with fellow disciples!"
Pei Jing smiled when he heard this, and whispered to the Five-Colored Deer, "Go," letting it go first.
"Oh my god!" The other five people saw this and said, "You really have to go against us, don't you?"
"Don't let it get away!"
The monk drew his bow and shot an arrow at the running silhouette of the five-colored deer.
The long arrow was shattered by a cold sword light.
With a click, the arrow split into two halves in midair and fell. Pei Jing reached out and caught one end of the arrow tip. Then he threw the arrow back in a flash.
His movements were extremely fast and accurate. Before the boss could react, his leg had been pierced by an arrow.
"Ah—" He screamed and held his bleeding leg, shouting: "My leg! My leg!"
The other four were stunned and had no idea what had just happened.
Pei Jing thought to himself: I haven't even touched any of your bones or muscles, I don't know why you're yelling.
This batch of disciples has poor abilities and bad mentality, but they have many evil thoughts. They are spoiled and lack lessons.
The eldest brother couldn't close his mouth in pain. He took a deep breath and pointed at Pei Jing, gritting his teeth and saying, "You guys should avenge me! Chu Junyu is not here. How can we lose when four fight one?"
The four of them reacted and hurriedly drew their bows to shoot Pei Jing. They were all in the Qi Refining Stage, and it took them a long time to recite basic spells. Their sword moves were not as smooth as flowing water, so when they really fought, they could only rely on weapons and brute force.
Pei Jing sneered: "You're talking as if I can't beat you without Chu Junyu here."
Long arrows rained down. He walked over, the arrows brushed his hair and clothes, and none of them hurt him at all. He swung his sword and cut all the arrows in half, holding them in his hand and throwing them back.
The five men screamed and panicked, but they could not avoid the arrows and were shot like hedgehogs. The arrows did not penetrate deep into their flesh, but they still felt excruciating pain.
Pei Jing walked over, wiped the wet water off his hands, and looked at him coldly: "Now you can tell me, why are you carrying a bow? If you don't tell me, your fate today will not be just this."
The old man was hit by an arrow on his thigh and a wound on his arm. He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak clearly. He now understood that the five of them combined might not be Zhang Yiming's opponent. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, crying and snotting: "Hey, Brother Zhang, please let me go! Don't blame me! This is all the bad idea of that bastard Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen said that he asked a lot of senior brothers and sisters, and none of them had any adventures in the Changtian Secret Realm. We may only be able to come here once in our lifetime, so we can't come here in vain. In the secret realm left by the great masters of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, the animals and plants are treasures that are worth a fortune outside. Take as many as you can! It's all his fault! He instigated me!"
Pei Jing touched his chin: "Xiao Chen?" This name sounds familiar.
The eldest brother cried until he lost all his face. He hated that bastard so much that he said hurriedly, "He was the one who was punished by the peak master to work in the spirit garden! He had a head full of evil ideas! I really believed his lies!"
Pei Jing remembered the stupid disciple who was tricked by him. He didn't expect that after farming in Lingpu for a few months, he didn't correct his crooked thoughts, but even worsened and came to Changtian Secret Realm.
interesting.
"Where is Xiao Chen?"
Pei Jing held down the sword and asked coldly.
The eldest brother's face wrinkled into a ball: "How should I know? He left alone, and seemed to be heading north."
North.
Pei Jing turned around and looked to the north, before he could remember what was in that direction.
There was a loud explosion in the north, and the mountain was rumbling and sliding down, followed by the roar of a wild beast, which made the whole land tremble. At the same time, there was the sound of a group of monks running for their lives, crying and screaming, and being chased by wild beasts.
"It really stirs up trouble."
Pei Jing sighed.
There is no danger in the Changtian Secret Realm because the wild beasts in the secret realm have no hostility towards the Yunxiao disciples and will not deliberately attack them.
But if someone deliberately provokes them, the spiritual beasts here will not be pushovers.
When he rushed over, he saw a group of people screaming and running down the mountain with pale faces.
Behind him was a monster that looked like a crocodile. It was three meters long and half a person tall, with a big mouth and red eyes. It looked very ferocious. With one sweep of its tail, it cut through several trees. It opened its mouth wide, revealing three rows of teeth.
Everyone was so scared that their scalps went numb.
Pei Jing grabbed a random person and said, "Where did you alarm this monster?"
The unlucky guy who was caught turned pale with anxiety and looked back frequently. Seeing the monster getting closer and closer and unable to break free, he said in a very frustrated tone: "Don't ask me, I don't know anything!"
Pei Jing said directly: "If you don't want to tell me, just stay here and feed it."
The unlucky guy couldn't believe it, as if he had just met Zhang Yiming for the first time. He almost cried, "It's none of my business! They chased a bird into this mountain. There was a cave in the mountain. I don't know who triggered some mechanism when they went inside. As soon as the stone wall opened, the monster opened its mouth and rushed over."
Cave.
Pei Jing remembered.
He glanced at his young disciples with a half-smile and said, "You guys are quite capable, aren't you?" They were promising and had accidentally entered the Pagoda Temple.
The Buddha Hall was where Taoist Yunxiao defeated his inner demons. Our ancestors believed in fighting poison with poison, so the hall is full of evil thoughts and the origin of inner demons. Although it can't cause any real harm, if people with distracting thoughts enter, their spirits will be cut into pieces.
This monster was guarding the door and chasing them out, which was actually a form of protection, preventing them from entering. It was just to scare them. Once they left the mountain, it would stop chasing them.
Pei Jing let him go, and the disciple ran away without even taking a breath.
The crocodile chased to the foot of the mountain, and when it saw that everyone had left, it rolled its red eyes and immediately changed from a ferocious man-eating monster to a dejected and lazy salted fish. It closed its mouth, drooped its eyes, retracted its claws, and crawled as slowly as an old man.
Pei Jing looked around at the trees that were knocked over by its tail, and couldn't help but teach it earnestly: "Can you change the way you scare people next time? Don't always swing your tail, breaking several trees at a time. If you do this every time, sooner or later all the trees in this forest will be destroyed by you."
The crocodile raised a corner of its eyelids and glanced at him, with deep contempt in its red eyes. It said nothing. It slowly moved forward on all fours, looking like it wanted to crawl back on its belly.
Pei Jing complained: "You are so lazy, no wonder you have gained so much weight in the past few hundred years."
The crocodile turned a deaf ear to him and let him follow behind.
Pei Jing planned to follow it back to the Buddha Hall.
If the gatekeeper beast could be alarmed, the group of disciples must have destroyed something inside. He would go over to take a look, clean up the mess first, and then come out to deal with them.
The last time Pei Jing entered Changtian, he also entered the Buddha Hall, but he was not affected at all. Taoist Yunxiao said that it was because his mind was pure and he had no distracting thoughts. But now standing at the entrance of the cave again, he had a strange feeling in his heart.
The entrance to the cave was hidden among the flowers and plants and was pitch black.
The grass is green, the flowers are red, the aura is dense, and a faint purple light lingers in the depths.
Pei Jing asked the crocodile: "What's the situation in this cave?"
The crocodile slowly stretched out its claws and drew a cross on the ground with a sleepy look on its face.
"You don't know either?"
The crocodile thought for a moment, and then looked at Pei Jing with its red eyes—and then began its performance. It closed its eyes, stretched its body flat, and placed its limbs comfortably, making a sleeping posture. Pei Jing was wondering what this psychic crocodile was going to do, when he saw it immediately open its eyes and pat the cross it had just drawn with its claws.
Pei Jing finally understood: "You mean you have been sleeping and don't know anything?"
The crocodile blinked sleepily and lazily.
Pei Jing laughed and scolded: "What's the use of you!"
He stepped inside with Lingyun Sword in hand.
As soon as he entered, he felt a cold, evil aura, which was not what he should have on this land of cultivation. It was a little familiar, and very similar to the Thousand Faces Woman. Thinking of the Thousand Faces Woman, Pei Jing's vigilance was raised, but after thinking for a while, he felt that it was impossible. The Changtian Secret Realm was inside the clouds, and it was not easy for dirty things to sneak in. Even if there were, why did they come in
"Take me to the main hall first."
Pei Jing ordered.
There are several black water mirrors placed in the main hall, which can illuminate every corner of the pagoda hall clearly and see everything happening in the whole hall.
The door is next to the pool where the crocodile lives and can only be opened by its tail.
The stone wall opened up, and a faint green light poured down from above.
Pei Jing entered the main hall.
The crocodile at my feet seemed to be almost trapped to death and could not open its eyes.
Above the main hall, a black water mirror reflects all directions.
Pei Jing stopped and his sight fell on the most central area - in front of the secret room where his ancestors had been in seclusion, in a dark and silent corridor filled with evil thoughts. The young man stood still, his pale green clothes fluttering, his expression cold and his eyes violent.
