There was a teapot on the table, Mo Chen picked up the pot and poured a cup of tea for each of the three people.
The tea was already completely cold, but when Mo Chen poured the water into the cup, the tea was steaming, looking exactly like the freshly brewed boiling water.
Mo Chen put one of the cups in front of Linglong.
Linglong picked up the tea and said, "Thank you senior brother." But she didn't drink the tea, she just held it in her hand.
Xiaodong looked at senior brother, then senior sister Linglong.
The appearance of the senior sister is quite different from the past. Not only is she described as thin and her eyes are sunken, but her temperament has changed the most. In the past, Senior Sister Linglong was the one with the hottest temper on the mountain, she would often strike at the slightest disagreement, but if she knew she was wrong, she would sincerely apologize. It's just that she admits her mistakes, and this temper can't be changed.
But now... If someone who has seen her before comes, it will be difficult to recognize her at a glance. At most, they will think that this is a somewhat familiar stranger.
The senior sister left without saying goodbye. From the master down, everyone was worried about her, especially senior brother Jiang. Since Senior Sister Linglong left, he seldom smiled. He was always a cheerful person before. Not to mention the master, he had such a laid-back temperament, but now after taking them in as apprentices, each of them is simply the wrongdoing of the previous life, and he is here to collect debts in this life. Counting from the senior senior brother, including the outer disciples, to the youngest Xiaodong, the only one who can make the master feel at ease is Jiang senior brother. Everyone else has accidents, press the gourd to float the ladle, no stop.
Brother Xiang and him, tossing about the secrets in their bodies made the master travel north and south, exhausted. Chen Jingzhi, who betrayed the teacher, did not mention it, the senior sister ran away, and the whereabouts of the senior brother Zhai was seriously injured. This is something that the master can't let go of no matter what.
If the senior sister has gone too far and can't come back, then don't talk about it. But now she also came to Xiejiazhuang, why is she caught in the middle of ordinary guests, not meeting her master or her fellow disciples
"Who is the person who sent the letter to Master Xie?"
Mo Chen suddenly asked such a sentence, Xiaodong was startled, and quickly raised his head to stare at Linglong.
Is this related to the senior sister
"I don't know." Linglong said, "I took an invitation card, but I didn't kill it."
really.
Senior Sister Linglong got in here.
Although Zhuangzhu Xie has a wide range of friends, he will not invite all cats and dogs to hold weddings at home. Senior Sister Linglong didn't want people to find out her true identity and wanted to enter Xiejiazhuang, so she had to get an invitation.
She said she didn't kill anyone, Xiaodong believed that the senior sister probably didn't do that kind of thing.
Who is the murderer? Someone else got in
"Where's Junior Brother Zhai?"
This question is what Xiaodong wants to know the most.
Linglong was silent for a moment, then raised her hand slightly.
A figure came out from behind the curtain of the inner room silently.
Before the senior sister raised her hand, Xiaodong was completely unaware that there was another person in the inner room.
When ordinary people pass through the door, they will always raise their hands to brush the curtain aside, so they can't just hit the curtain with their face.
But this man opened the curtain with the top of his head and came in.
Xiaodong looked at the person who came out of the curtain in surprise.
This... Brother Zhai
If Senior Sister Linglong is describing a big change, then Senior Brother Zhai is completely different.
If he hadn't appeared at this place at this time, Xiaodong would not have recognized who he was if he ran into him on the road.
What was Senior Brother Zhai like before
Xiaodong still remembers it very clearly. Senior Brother Zhai is tall, fair-skinned, and has clear and gentle eyes. His robes, shoes and socks are always in good condition. He treats people kindly, no matter who asks him for help, he will not shirk, and always try his best to help.
His talent is also good.
Xiaodong had always felt that he was very guilty of being a direct disciple, at least Senior Brother Zhai was much better than him, but he didn't have a good background--Xiaodong thought that he was completely tainted by "tuogu" and age The light that was too small was accepted by Master.
But the person who came out of the inner room now is completely different from the Zhai Wenhui in Xiaodong's memory.
The person standing in front of Xiaodong now has thick cloth bands wrapped around his head and body, fragmented hair stuck to his scalp and cheeks, only his nose and one eye are exposed.
His face was blue and black, which was not the skin color that normal people would have at all. The eyebrows also seemed to be gone, and there was a void in the once bright eyes.
It looks like a walking dead without sanity.
Xiaodong couldn't speak a single word.
Messy thoughts were flying in his mind, Senior Brother Zhai's current appearance reminded him of the words he read in the book.
No matter how you look at it, Senior Brother Zhai doesn't seem to be cured.
When we parted, he couldn't move, but now... he can stand and walk, but Xiaodong really can't say that he is better than then.
It's really not good for him to look like this.
Is this person still Senior Brother Zhai
He stood so stiffly, like, like a puppet, a puppet.
He didn't respond to the person standing in front of him, whether it was a senior or a junior, he didn't even move his eyes.
Mo Chen stood up, he stared at the unrecognizable old man, then turned his head to look at Linglong.
Xiaodong sensed the wordless anger on the elder brother.
He had never felt such a strong anger on his senior brother.
"What's up with him?"
This is what Xiaodong wants to know the most.
Linglong's posture was stiff, as if struggling to squeeze out a word from between her teeth: "It's the secret art of controlling demons."
Demon control
Xiaodong opened his eyes wide in horror, and heard the elder brother ask: "Are you the descendant of the Demon Lord?"
Linglong bit her lip, nodded her head heavily: "Yes."
The senior sister became the successor of the Demon Venerable
It was just what he and his elder brother discussed a few days ago, what kind of Demon Lord
really? The senior sister is obviously their disciple of Huiliu Mountain, how could she become the successor of some demon king
Is there some misunderstanding in this? The senior sister may be involuntary, coerced and deceived by others. After all, it is not a matter of a day or two for people to learn to be bad. The separation time between the senior sister and them is not too long. Is it so easy to be the successor of the Demon Venerable? Then this Demon Lord is too worthless, right
"Eldest brother, I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding, let me listen to the senior sister to explain in detail."
He broke into cold sweat to smooth things over, but Linglong didn't understand his intention at all, and shook her head: "There is no misunderstanding. I am a descendant of Xu Wangzun."
who
"But Xu Wangzun has been dead for many years." If it is his descendant, it seems that the age is not right.
Linglong glanced at Xiaodong.
The way to extend the bloodline of the Demon Dao is not like ordinary people who want to find a woman, pass on the fetus in October, and pass on the family line. This is common sense, and obviously Xiaodong doesn't understand these things at all. (to be continued)
