Taoist cultivation needs to go through foundation building, qi refining, concentration, exiting the body, golden elixir, Hinayana, Mahayana, and finally transcending tribulation and ascending. Qin Mingxi has practiced for twelve years and is still in the initial stage of concentration. His aptitude is really poor. Qin Mingxi's skin is very white, and he has a pair of almond eyes. He is obviously twenty-two years old. He looks several years younger than he was born, and his personality is also cowardly and timid. No wonder he is easily bullied by his peers.
Zhong Yan sat in front of the table and stared at a bowl of concoction that could reveal a person's silhouette for a long time, then sighed.
The system finally couldn't help but say, "You've sighed seven or eight times this morning, what are you thinking?"
Zhong Yan said quietly, "I'm thinking that my agent should have died..."
System: "...It's been almost a month, you're still thinking about this?" Then he said, "It's okay, you're dead anyway."
... Zhong Yan was expressionless: "What do you know, we will get results today." Then he said worriedly: "I can't sleep well every night now, and I'm afraid that one night Gu Xuanyan will appear at my bedside and give me A sword."
The system had to comfort him: "Now Qingyan is on guard up and down, and there are patrolling disciples at all times. Besides, only the elders of the sect and the chief disciples of each sect know what happened to you that night. It's easy to expose you to silence now. , Gu Xuanyan is not that stupid."
When Zhong Yan thought about it, he breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the medicine bowl and was about to drink it. Before he finished, someone suddenly said, "Senior Brother Qin, are you drinking medicine?"
"Cough cough cough!!!" Zhong Yan was choked to death, his face was red from coughing, and when he looked back, he saw Gu Xuanyan frown slightly, and quickly walked over to pat him on the back, while blaming himself: "I saw Senior Brother open the door. , and came right in - it was my fault."
Zhong Yan suspected that he was doing it on purpose. He coughed and waved his hand, indicating that he would not be in the way. He waited until he had calmed down and said, "Why did Junior Brother Gu come here?"
Gu Xuanyan withdrew his hand: "I heard that Senior Brother Qin is almost in good health, and the head asked me to take you to the conference hall."
Tell me to come and expose you? Zhong Yan replied obediently and followed behind Gu Xuanyan. It is not a short distance from where Zhong Yan lives to the council hall. Swords are not allowed in the sect. Zhong Yan is walking on the road, feeling uneasy in his heart. The two elders will definitely be able to beat Gu Xuanyan together, and then find a cave and lock him up for decades, will he be able to soar?"
"..." The system said speechlessly: "Are you sure he won't be blacker? The first thing you will do after cultivating for more than ten years will be to seek revenge from you. Besides, didn't you say you wanted to influence him with your sincerity?"
Zhong Yan said embarrassingly: "Of course I know that I want to influence him, but if he and I were ordinary brothers, I would still be able to boil frogs in warm water. Now that I am close to him in this relationship, wouldn't he take the opportunity to kill me?"
The system has no solution, and can only say: "It's okay, now Gu Xuanyan doesn't know if you saw him clearly that night, you just insist on pretending to be dead."
Zhong Yan still has to ask, what if he doesn't care if I see it or not, what if he directly strikes with a sword to avoid future troubles, he slams his head into Gu Xuanyan's back before he can speak.
Zhong Yan: "..." It hurts! Your head must be red!
Gu Xuanyan is probably the first time to encounter such a thing, and when he turned around, he had a little more smile on his face: "Senior brother, here we are."
Zhong Yan felt extremely ashamed, covered his forehead and entered the hall, where there were only the head and two elders. Zhong Yan bowed and saluted in an orderly manner, Gu Xuanyan stood outside the door and was about to close the door for them when the door leader said slowly: "Xuanyan, you are the most proud disciple of Wanji, and now that he is killed, I think you are also very uncomfortable, stay and listen together."
Zhong Yan was startled, and quickly turned to look at Gu Xuanyan at the door, only to see that the other party was stunned for a moment, then his eyes quickly turned red, and he whispered, "Yes." Then he entered the door and stood aside.
Zhong Yan: "..." Niu X.
Li Xunji coughed heavily and looked at Zhong Yan: "Is Mingxi's injury healed?"
Zhong Yan hurriedly said, "It's almost better."
The three old people in the hall looked at each other, and the first elder, Li Wenji, asked, "How much do you remember about that night?"
Zhong Yan clearly felt that Gu Xuanyan's eyes also fell on him, and gritted his teeth: "It was too dark that night, and the disciple was unprepared.
The second elder Xuanji was furious, and his voice was like thunder: "Don't you see it at a glance?!"
Li Xunji stared straight at Zhong Yan in the hall, his eyes were like a thousand pounds. Zhong Yan's forehead was sweating, and he lowered his head and did not dare to say a word. When this look fell in the eyes of several people, he naturally thought that the disciple was scared. gall. Li Xunji retracted his gaze and sighed heavily: "Which of the five cultivations the villain is, can you always detect it?"
Although Qin Mingxi's cultivation base is poor, he is still absorbed in it anyway. If he doesn't even know this, it would be too fake. Zhong Yan said, "The disciple is stupid... I just think... maybe it is a demon cultivator."
In the book, Li Yunji was unable to break through in the Jindan period for a long time, and was eager for quick success, so he began to turn into a magic cultivator. In fact, Gu Xuanyan only has Dao Xiu's lineage, but when Li Yunji died, his demonic energy was scattered, and he covered him. Zhong Yan said this because he wanted to give Gu Xuanyan a cover in front of the head. It is to reduce suspicion in front of Gu Xuanyan. Sure enough, as soon as Zhong Yan said this, the atmosphere in the hall became solemn. Li Wenji looked at the sect master and said, "There is indeed a little devilish energy in the room."
The plot party saves everything. After all, who would have thought that the elder Qingyanfeng would actually fall into the devil, and although the five major cultivations belong to the various realms of the Great Wilderness, there were once wandering demons who murdered and stole the cultivation base, which can also make sense.
Zhong Yangang gave a thumbs up in his heart, but Gu Xuanyan suddenly stepped forward and said: "There is a post from Bukong Zenyuan, saying that Master Shiyin has entered the lotus platform, and he will lead the West to Zizaitian before next month. Going to congratulate." After saying that, he looked at Zhong Yan and smiled: "There will be many cultivators at that time, it is better for Senior Brother Qin to go with me, if I encounter the villain, Senior Brother may remember it. "
After listening to his words, the head and the elder looked at each other and pondered. Zhong Yan was shocked. There were many disciples in Qingyan who took turns to inspect, as well as the head and the elders. Gu Xuanyan thought about killing himself, the risk was extremely high. It would be much more convenient to go outside. Gu Xuanyan thought it would be easy for him to die, so Zhong Yansi hurriedly knelt down, and before the sect master opened his mouth, he said, "The disciple's aptitude is mediocre, and he does not dare to go out and lose Qingyanfeng's face. ."
Gu Xuanyan said: "It's just to congratulate, senior don't have to worry."
Zhong Yan looked sincere: "Junior Brother, I'm afraid that if I meet that villain and see that I'm not dead—"
Gu Xuanyan looked at Zhong Yan, his eyes were like a spring breeze: "Brother Qin, don't worry, although the younger brother is not good at cultivation, as long as I am here, I will do my best to keep the younger brother safe."
... Zhong Yan was stunned by the other party's shamelessness, for fear that he would make Gu Xuanyan suspicious if he continued to say it, he was speechless for a while, at this time, the head finally opened his mouth and said, "The two of you must pay attention to this time going down the mountain. Safety."
Yes, the boss makes a decision, it is useless to say more. Zhong Yan could only look at Gu Xuanyan gratefully: "Since Junior Brother Gu said so, then Senior Brother will go down the mountain with you."
When the two of them left the door of the conference hall, Gu Xuanyan looked at Zhong Yan and suddenly raised his hand. Zhong Yan was now like a bird frightened, he immediately took a step back, and then saw Gu Xuanyan's right hand parked in the air, embarrassed. He smiled and said, "Junior brother, what are you doing?"
Gu Xuanyan said warmly: "Senior brother, your hair is messed up."
Zhong Yan hurriedly figured it out by himself: "Hahaha, maybe I messed up when I saluted just now."
Gu Xuanyan nodded, put down his hand, and showed a gentle smile: "Senior Brother Qin, after half a month, I will trouble you to go on the road with me."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and left, leaving Zhong Yan tremblingly to ask the system: "What he just said was going with me or taking me on the road..."
The system replied tremblingly: "I don't know either..."
Regardless of Zhong Yanqing's reluctance, the fact that Gu Xuanyan wanted to go down the mountain with Qin Mingxi to congratulate quickly spread throughout the entire sect. Because the death of Li Yunji has not been publicized, except for a few elders and chief disciples who knew the inside story, most people in the sect were extremely surprised. Zhong Yan wandered around in the mountains every day, and some disciples saw him and whispered to others.
Zhong Yan just pretended he couldn't see it, and let them talk, but the daring ones were no longer satisfied with gossiping behind their backs, so he stopped Zhong Yan in the middle of the road: "I heard that Senior Brother Gu wants to take you... I want to bring Senior Brother Qin down the mountain together. ?"
The person in front of him was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his eyes were full of arrogance. The system reminded in a low voice, "This is Liang Yi, the new disciple of the head."
Zhong Yan sighed: "Exactly."
The young man was even more dissatisfied when he heard the words: "In the past, Senior Brother Gu went down the mountain alone, why did he bring other people?" After speaking, Liang Yi looked up and down at Zhong Yan again, and said, "It's okay to bring others. , many disciples are alert and smart people, why did they choose you?"
This is a bit too much. No matter how low Qin Mingxiu is, he is still a senior brother. Zhong Yan raised his head and said with a smile, "I don't understand either, why don't Junior Brother Liang ask Junior Brother Gu?"
The other party did not expect that Zhong Yan would throw the question to him. The matter was decided by the head and Gu Xuanyan together. He just felt unconvinced and dared not really ask Gu Xuanyan, and stood on the spot for a while.
Zhong Yan got it cheap and sold it well: "All the brothers in the family are vigilant, and Junior Brother Liang is even more outstanding. Go and ask, maybe Junior Brother Gu can replace me and let Junior Brother Liang go—"
Halfway through the words, the system reminded: "Gu Xuanyan is here."
Zhong Yan immediately stopped, and sure enough, Gu Xuanyan's voice sounded behind him: "What are you saying, senior and junior?"
Zhong Yan turned around, and Gu Xuanyan stood behind him in a green shirt. He lowered his eyebrows and answered in a pleasing manner: "Junior Brother Liang heard that you and I are going down the mountain soon, and was curious for a while, so I came here to ask."
Liang Yi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I just want to ask - do the two brothers need anything else."
Gu Xuanyan laughed lightly when he heard the words: "Junior Brother Liang is still young, so it's normal to be curious when I hear about going down the mountain."
Liang Yigang breathed a sigh of relief, and Gu Xuanyan said again: "Just remember to be more polite when talking to senior brothers in the future. Have you forgotten the 'respect to the elders and the younger' in the door rules?"
Gu Xuanyan's tone was calm and calm, but Liang Yi immediately lowered his head like a smooth cat, and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Gu, I'm sorry."
Zhong Yan: "..." You should apologize to me.
Gu Xuanyan patted Liang Yi's shoulder lightly: "Go."
When Liang Yi was far away, Gu Xuanyan turned to Zhong Yan again, and Zhong Yan immediately smiled: "Thank you, Junior Brother Gu for clearing the siege."
Gu Xuanyan said with a smile: "Brother Qin is so eloquent, don't blame me for being meddlesome."
One or two ears are so smart.
Zhong Yan complained in his heart that the system didn't remind him earlier, and he had to pretend to be a grandson on his face: "Junior Brother Liang Yi is better than me.
Gu Xuanyan didn't know if he believed it or not, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he comforted: "Senior brother, don't worry, I'm here."
... I was too worried to have you here, but I still had to do the superficial work. Zhong Yan hurriedly slapped on the horse: "I was having trouble sleeping and eating this for the past few days, but when I think of my junior and senior brothers by my side, I feel at ease. too much."
Then, it was cold.
Even the system couldn't help saying: "It's over, it's too flattering."
... Zhong Yan was too lazy to pay attention to it, and continued to look at Gu Xuanyan. Gu Xuanyan also seemed to be stunned by Zhong Yan's words. After a rare moment of silence, he said: "Xuanyan must live up to the trust of senior brother - it's getting late, senior brother should go back to rest early, it's time to hit the road tomorrow."
Zhong Yan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "go on the road", he said bravely, "Junior brother also rest early."
On the way back, Zhong Yan asked the system, "Am I really flattering just now?"
The system is unequivocal: "Special."
"..." Zhong Yan said: "What do you know, this is the art of speaking. If I flatter the boss and make the boss happy, will he be willing to let me go?"
System: "I only know licking/dog licking to the end—"
Zhong Yan: "...Shut up."
