Rong Wan almost didn't recognize Liu Qingzang.
Bixuan and the others all retreated, leaving only him and Liu Qingzang in the room, a bouquet of tranquilizing incense was lit on the table, and the person sitting under the water plaque with his chest upright had half-white temples, more than a little older than before. That's right, Rong Wan's past five years have been uneventful, but Liu Qingzang's side has worked hard.
Seeing Rong Wan, Liu Qingzang smiled wryly: "Mr. Xunyu, you haven't changed at all."
Rong Wan sat down opposite him: "After the Qishen realm, your appearance won't change anymore, but you, why didn't you break through the realm?"
He felt it when he came in. Liu Qingzang was able to reach the level of Qishen five years ago, but five years have passed without any progress, and he is still at the beginning level of Qishen. In recent years, there have been several people who have broken through the Qishen. Liu Qingzang will retreat if he can't advance, and now he probably can't be ranked among the top ten in Xiuxian Continent.
Liu Qingzang gave another wry smile: "Everything is entangled, how can I have the mind to cultivate? After you retreated, I didn't tell you about many details. The disciples of the Penglai Sect who have traveled abroad, but who have not returned to the northern border, will be punished. He disappeared, and his bones could not be found. After the battle of Qilin, the Penglai Sect was seriously injured, and several elders were gone. Now that it has been reorganized, a lot of waste is left to be done, but it is far worse than before."
In fact, this is not the only case of the Penglai Sect, the entire Cultivation Continent has suffered heavy casualties.
Now the development of forces is still in full swing, and I am afraid that it is the leader of the Immortal Cultivation Continent from Chuanyun Mountain.
Rong Wan learned many details from Liu Qingzang, especially many details about Sikong Zhu that Bixuan failed to tell when he visited.
It turns out that Chuanyun Mountain looks harmonious on the surface, united as one, but many sects do not support Sikong Zhu. After all, which sect does not want to take the opportunity to carve up power and establish prestige on the mainland
So this Sikong Zhu secretly did some inhumane things in order to consolidate his power.
These were already expected by Rong Wan. After all, in the original text, Sikong Zhu was known as a treacherous and cunning man. Although he could not be called a villain, he was indeed not an aboveboard gentleman.
The Penglai sect is over, Liu Qingzang assisted Sikong Zhu to reorganize the disunity of Xiuxian Continent, he saw some things in his eyes, but he could only turn a blind eye.
Now that Rong Wan was invited out by him, it was as if he had met a backer, he set up a barrier, and lifted one by one with Rong Wan. After all, the Penglai Sect can do it now, and there are not many people. However, Mr. Xun Yu came from the Penglai Sect and has a lot of connections with the Penglai Sect, so he should stand on the Penglai Sect's side.
Rong Wan came here this time only to solve the Baihu matter. As for Sikong Zhu, he didn't want to cause any trouble, so he answered Liu Qingzang's words vaguely, and only got as much information from Liu Qingzang as possible, and did not participate too much in these sects dispute.
Liu Qingzang felt helpless when he heard Rong Wan's neutral position. It seems that when he handed over the Soul Condensing Furnace to Lord Xunyu back then, it failed to get rid of Lord Xunyu's bad impression of Penglai Sect.
He sighed, had no choice but to change the subject, and asked: "Even if Sikong Zhu had already prepared a perfect plan for the second siege of the white tiger, the white tiger's power has been continuously expanding in recent years, and it has reached a terrifying level. What is the chance of our success?" Very small... what does the kid think of this?"
Rong Wan was silent for a while, with an unnatural expression: "He doesn't know yet."
Liu Qingzang's expression changed. He thought that Qi Bishu's willingness to follow Rong Wan up the mountain this time should be because he was willing to kill his relatives righteously, but who knew that he didn't know about it
That matter is even more difficult!
"Mr. Xunyu, I have already made the stakes clear in my letter to you earlier, but why did you—" Liu Qingzang frowned into a plain word, feeling slightly agitated, took a deep breath, and then restrained himself. , and said in a low voice: "Qi Bishu is the most critical part of this siege plan. Without him, it would be hard to say that the entire army will be wiped out this time!"
Rong Wan's complexion was also a bit ugly, and he rubbed his brows displeasedly: "Of course I know, but I didn't say anything, and agreed to use him as a weight to help you win this battle."
He naturally understood what Liu Qingzang said. Today, no one in the world can defeat the white tiger in terms of cultivation, even if several Qishen level monks add up, they can't defeat it. The power of the white tiger is the power to devour everything. Rong Wan had seen that terrifying power five years ago at the Great Wall of Dragons. In the past five years, I am afraid that Baihu's cultivation base has increased, and no one knows how far his cultivation base has reached.
The only way is to use Qi Bishu as bait, just like how his mother was used as bait back then. From the incident five years ago, it can be seen that Baihu still has affection for Qinglian. Although he has fallen into a demon, he still cares about his flesh and blood for Qi Bishu.
If Qi Bishu is willing to cooperate, maybe they still have the possibility of winning, but if Qi Bishu does not cooperate, then this siege will only be more tragic than the last time. Last time there was Qilin as the main force, this time it is completely a last stand.
Liu Qingzang didn't understand what Rong Wan meant, and was stunned: "I thought that you agreed to come out of the mountain this time to help, so it turned out not to be?"
Rong Wan shook his head: "I'm here to help, but how Qi Bishu chooses is up to him to decide."
Liu Qingzang almost laughed angrily, but because of Rong Wan's identity, this anger turned into a wry smile: "You raised him for so many years and forced him to do some apprenticeship for you, so what? Dayi should know what to do and what not to do when so many people died innocently."
Rong Wan thought his words were extremely ridiculous, but he knew that he couldn't understand his theory, so he kept silent.
Back then, tens of thousands of people killed Baihu alone, and Dayi stood on the side with more people. Today, Baihu slaughtered tens of thousands of people by himself, but Dayi still stood on the side with more people. And who is right and who is wrong? The massacre of thousands of people is a heinous crime worthy of death, but is it a trivial crime to massacre a family of three
Naturally, Rong Wan wanted to stop Bai Hu, but he decided not to interfere with Qi Bishu's choice, nor would he impose his own decision on him.
This time, it was all up to Qi Bishu to decide.
The words are divided into two ends.
When Rong finished talking with Liu Qingzang, Yun Hao went back to his room to rest bored.
Qi Bishu was so angry that he couldn't stop, he closed the door tightly and couldn't come out, and no one answered when he knocked on the door. In the big courtyard, only Yun Hao was left with a little movement. He was very depressed. After looking at calligraphy and painting in the room for a while, he went to practice sword in the backyard.
Not long after noon, people from Chuanyun Mountain brought food. Because there were mixed fish and dragons on the mountain, there was no hall for eating together, but the servants sent them to each yard separately.
The person who delivered meals to the courtyard next door was a servant dressed in gray and coarse cloth, but it was the girl in yellow who delivered meals to the courtyard of the three masters and apprentices. Someone opened the door for her.
Then she turned around, gently placed the food box on the stone table in the courtyard, and took out the delicious food inside.
Yun Hao felt puzzled, and stepped forward to stop her: "Wait a minute, since you are the daughter of Sikong Zhu, why are you doing these servant jobs?"
The girl didn't see anyone when she entered the yard, she thought everyone had gone out, but Yun Hao jumped out suddenly, startled her, her cheeks were red.
Yun Hao looked at her warily.
She said shyly in a very thin voice: "The owner of the mountain specially ordered that there are distinguished guests in this yard, and he is afraid that ordinary servants will be clumsy and serve poorly, so let me come."
Yun Hao asked: "Then why have you been looking for my junior brother?"
He raised his eyebrows, and said blindly and confidently: "Judging from my appearance, I should be the better one. You don't stare at me but stare at my junior brother. What's the reason?"
The girl just looked up at him, and was amused by him with a "poof". She didn't say anything more, picked up the empty food box, and hurried away.
Yun Hao was not convinced: "What do you mean? I'm not as good as Qi Bishu?"
He turned around and knocked on Qi Bishu's door.
The door remained closed.
Yun Hao rolled his eyes, opened his mouth, leaned against the door frame, and shouted to the outside of the yard: "Ah, Master, why did you come back suddenly—"
Before he finished speaking, the door of the room was opened suddenly, and he almost fell in, but he managed to stand still, and saw Qi Bishu's sullen expression.
Qi Bishu glared at him.
Yun Hao was grinning, and just about to explain a few words, he was grabbed by the collar and pushed out.
"Bang!" The door slammed heavily in front of the tip of his nose.
Yun Hao: "..." This kid is quite angry, it's been from morning to noon, and I don't know where the anger is still there! Thanks to Master for being able to bear it, if it were him, he would have kicked this kid down the mountain long ago!
It was already night when Rong Wan came back from Liu Qingzang, it didn't matter if the cultivator ate or not, what's more, his cultivation had already reached the peak, so he didn't feel hungry at all. When I came back, I saw unfinished food and cakes in the yard, the light in Yunhao's room was on, but the light in Qi Bishu's room had long since gone out.
Already asleep
How did you go to bed so early today
After remembering what happened in the morning, Rong Wan walked outside the door of Qi Bi's tree house, wanting to have a word with him, but this is not a good time. One matter was interrupted, and he brought it up again. No matter how I thought about it, I felt a little embarrassed. What should I say after entering? Could it be possible to just say "Are you jealous?"
No matter how I think about it, it makes people blush.
In this life, Rong Wan has raised Qi Bishu by his side for six years. For him, he has experienced four lives, and his relationship has become long-lasting, and he is not in a hurry. He has no doubt that he will end up with this person in every life, but how the process is progressing, whether Qi Bishu is more dependent on his feelings now, or more in love with him, he is not clear, and feels that he still has to wait. Let's talk about it when it happens.
Even though he made up his mind like this, there were actually slight ripples in Rong Wan's heart. His heart beat a little faster, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth unconsciously, but it was not obvious in the night.
He thought about it, and didn't know how long Qi Bishu would be angry, so he decided to give in a step, so he went down the mountain.
Qi Bishu listened to Rong Wan's footsteps in the room, approached, but turned away again, feeling extremely wronged.
His heart jumped into his throat just now, and he almost couldn't help jumping over to open the door, but he wondered if Master would open the door and come in, so he lay on the bed and pretended to fall asleep, but Master left just like that!
He was so angry that he jumped out of bed and opened the door, and the cold moon was empty outside.
So I went back to bed, pulled the quilt over my head, and covered my head, feeling extremely bad.
Qi Bishu naturally knew that he was making trouble out of no reason, but the master's indifference when he saw a girl showing affection to him really hurt him. If the master had one ten-thousandth of his thoughts about him, the master would not be so indifferent.
Master doesn't care if there are other girls around him, it's just because he doesn't care about him at all.
Now Qi Bishu lost all the courage that he had quietly built up for the past few days.
He touched the exquisite box in his bosom, staring blankly at the bed curtain, almost already foreseeing the consequences of his confession to the master, and he was afraid that he would frighten the master and be driven down the mountain by the master! The best result is that the master treats it coldly as if he didn't hear it.
Qi Bishu's eyes were red, he turned over and buried his face in the pillow.
I thought I couldn't sleep all night, but I didn't expect to think wildly, and I had a nightmare all night, but I fell asleep.
next morning.
Qi Bishu rubbed his eyes and sat up, cross-legged on the bed to meditate, but his heart was still full of melancholy and he had no thoughts, so he frowned and got up to get dressed.
There is no way to go on like this. Since the master will not come, he can only go to the master first.
Qi Bishu felt aggrieved in his heart, why has it been like this since he was a child, the number of times his master coaxed him was very rare, and it was not flattering for him to lose his temper, and he had to apologize in the end. But after a night, he also felt that his awkwardness yesterday was unreasonable, and it was normal for the master to ignore it.
While apologizing for Master, he opened the door.
It rained last night, and the yard outside was flooded. In the dog days, the sky was so dark that it was about to collapse, and raindrops fell from the eaves like beads. Looking along the rain, his vision suddenly stopped.
On the gray window frame, three bright red candied haws were inserted.
Qi Bishu walked over quickly and picked up the candied haws. He was in a daze for a while, and then blood rushed to his scalp, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest, beating so fast and so fast.
