After that, Gu Xuanyan didn't speak anymore, and Zhong Yan didn't think he should speak. Fortunately, he didn't feel deserted, and he had reached the top of the mountain in a blink of an eye.
Climbing high and looking into the distance, the valleys that they see are endless, as if they are connected to the sky. The two of them don't know what this place is called, but Gu Xuanyan tried it, and he could actually control the sword.
The two identified the direction with the rising sun, and after walking southwest for an unknown amount of time, Zhong Yan saw the faint outline of Qingyan Mountain. The mountain was extremely quiet, and the two of them didn't meet a single disciple along the way. When they arrived at his bamboo courtyard, Zhong Yan only saw Qingyou rummaging through medicinal herbs in the courtyard. Seeing the two of them, Qingyou was so surprised that he straightened up immediately, almost knocking over the dustpan that was drying the herbs.
Zhong Yan had the feeling of seeing a fellow countryman, and couldn't help but said enthusiastically, "Qingyou, I'm back with an injury."
"..." The surprise in Qingyou's eyes immediately turned helpless.
Gu Xuanyan sighed softly and saluted warmly: "Senior Brother Qingyou, I'm going to trouble you again."
Qingyou only glared at Zhong Yan at this time, then turned to Gu Xuanyan and said, "It's easy to say." After speaking, seeing that the two of them were fine except for the trauma, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior brother and brother who went with us. They were worried when they said you were gone, but fortunately they came back intact. You two really—"
Seeing that he was going to nag again, Zhong Yan quickly interrupted him and said, "Okay, okay, we were wrong. Let's quickly show Junior Brother Gu the wound on his chest."
Gu Xuanyan said: "Don't worry. Brother Qingyou stayed in the mountains this time, but did you encounter a magic cultivator?"
Qingyou's expression also became serious: "After you all went to Beihuang, there are indeed some demon cultivators in the mountain. But there are not many people, and the remaining disciples have dealt with them, and they have not caused any major troubles."
After he finished speaking, he paused, and then hesitantly said, "But those demon cultivators are quite familiar with the environment in the mountains. The location of the master's residence, the disciple's residence, and the main hall and the study house are actually clear."
Zhong Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood - there was an elder in the former door who was in trouble with the demon cultivator, can you not understand? It is estimated that Cang Luan has long regarded Qingyan as his back garden.
But of course these can't be said, and Qingyou only said it was useless, and instead said: "Let's take a look at the injury first."
However, before a few people could enter the room, a disciple entered the courtyard and bowed respectfully to the three of them, saying, "Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Gu. The head learned that you are back, please go to the council hall."
Zhong Yan suspected that he had heard it wrong, and asked, "I'm going too?"
Seeing the other party nod his head, Zhong Yan said again, "Can you wait for Junior Brother Gu and I to heal the injury first?"
The other party didn't speak, but there was a very difficult look on his face. Seeing this, Gu Xuanyan said softly: "It's okay, after returning to the sect, Li should go to see the sect master first."
The disciple was relieved and said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Gu Xuanyan tilted his head to look at Zhong Yan, and said softly, "Senior brother, let's go."
No matter how urgent the matter is, he won't even let the disciple heal his wounds. Zhong Yan felt that there would be no good fruit to eat. But seeing Gu Xuanyan's calm look, he nodded and followed.
Anyway, when the sky fell, there was this chief disciple to bear it. Zhong Yan thought so, but he didn't want to enter the hall, and the eyes of several elders and the sect master all fell on him.
Zhong Yan couldn't figure out what those eyes meant, so he didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhong Yan was stunned for a while before realizing that he was calling himself, and quickly replied, "Yes."
The head's voice was vigorous and strong: "Above the ice field, where have you been?"
-Is not this nonsensical? Can I still run by myself
Zhong Yan knew that this was the Hongmen Banquet, but he didn't expect it to come for himself, so he didn't dare to make a fool of himself.
Li Wenji frowned and asked, "There are many chief elders present, why did they capture you?"
... It's almost useless to say you directly. Zhong Yan couldn't answer him, "I was arrested because the demon cultivator thought I was Gu Xuanyan's Taoist companion and wanted to use me to threaten him." At that time, he didn't know what the earth-shaking would be, and he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation for a while. So he simply stopped speaking and stood on the spot.
Who knew that Gu Xuanyan on the side raised his head, looked directly at Li Wenji, and asked, "What does the elder mean?"
Gu Xuanyan's tone was gentle, as if there was no disrespect. But it was the first time that a disciple dared to ask the elder. For a time, the faces of the people sitting in the hall sank, and the head of the hall looked like a torch, and said solemnly: "Xuanyan."
The warning contained in this voice is self-evident, the elder Li Xuanji snorted coldly, but he was unwilling to say anything harsh to this extremely outstanding disciple, and only said slowly: "This time the demon cultivator has committed a crime, I will deal with all Qingyan. It's a good place to go - you must know it too. We suspect there's a traitor in the door."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhong Yan and said, "It was in the late stage of Jindan when the accident happened, but his head was in a different place. And Qin Mingxi was only concentrating at that time, but he was able to escape the disaster. I didn't want to easily doubt the door. Middle disciple. But this time I was captured on the ice field and came back intact—"
Gu Xuanyan interrupted him and said loudly: "My brother was captured by the demon cultivator this time. I witnessed it with my own eyes, and it was also the person I saved. If you have any questions, just ask your disciple."
After speaking, Gu Xuanyan knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "If there is any problem, disciple Gu Xuanyan will take care of it all by himself."
This time, not only the people sitting in the hall, but even Zhong Yan was startled.
In the end, the head Li Xunji coughed lightly: "I called you here this time, one is to see if you are in serious trouble, and the other is to ask the reason. There is no intention of conviction and accountability, since Xuan Yan said so, then Let’s talk about it later.”
Even so, since this matter has been raised high, it shows that there is already a lot of doubts among the head and the elders, and it is impossible to put it down lightly. To say these four words in the future sounds quite a bit of meaning to settle accounts after the fall.
Gu Xuanyan saluted and got up, and quickly glanced at the people in the hall. When he turned around, his eyes flashed, but there was no trace immediately. The two exited the hall door. On the way back, Zhong Yan couldn't help but said, "If you tell the head that I have a blood oath with Cang Luan—"
Gu Xuanyan glanced at him and said warmly, "Senior brother, if that's the case, it's even more unclear."
Zhong Yan also reacted. A Daoist disciple and the Demon Lord made a blood oath, which sounded a bit like doing evil. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it was confirmed that Zhong Yan was not a traitor, Qingyan would not leave behind a disciple who was implicated in the demon cultivator.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yan only felt that it was imminent to break his oath, and he couldn't help sighing. Gu Xuanyan on the side suddenly said: "I'm the one who dragged down the senior brother."
Gu Xuanyan's voice was slightly lower, but it sounded real with a sense of guilt. When Zhong Yan heard the words, he felt awkward first, but instead comforted Gu Xuanyan and said, "I can't say that..."
Zhong Yan has been here for almost half a year. If it was this point in the original book, Gu Xuanyan would have been completely black. But now, apart from revenge, he can't see any other signs of blackening, and he has saved his own life, which makes Zhong Yan often feel that "this person seems to be pretty good" from time to time.
Zhong Yan didn't know what was wrong with him for a while, it was probably Stockholm.
