A battle of exterminating demons took place in Chaonan City by the muddy water.
The battle lasted from twilight to early morning, and the imperial court dispatched divine guards to clear the field in advance. The people in Chaonan City could not see what happened, but could only see dozens of sword lights illuminating the night sky from time to time until the first day. The next day, the bloodstains on the rocks on the opposite bank could still be seen.
The big monster hiding in the depths of the muddy water was seriously injured, or died quietly, or had already sneaked away, so it should not come out to make trouble again.
The extermination of demons in Liangwang Peak went very smoothly this time, but no one expected that there would be an accident in the end.
Liu Shisui was seriously injured and was still unconscious until he was sent back to Qingshan.
"When I went back to the mountain, many disciples saw it. It is said that his whole body was red and extremely hot. The snow fell on his face and turned into white mist before it could melt."
Gu Qing looked at Jing Jiu, hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm a little worried... He doesn't seem to be injured, but more likely to be poisoned."
Logically speaking, the first time for young disciples to follow Liangwang Peak to go out to eliminate demons is more about experience. When the battle situation is critical, they will definitely be left behind those senior brothers who have advanced realms. He plays.
Liangwang Peak has strict requirements on its disciples, they pay attention to raising swords by fighting, and they will not act recklessly, not to mention that Liu Shisui is a natural Daoist, and is highly valued by the sect.
Jing Jiu listened quietly, disapproving of Lu Qing's judgment.
Ascetics focus on body training first, and Dao seeds provide an endless supply of true energy, ordinary poisons have no meaning at all.
Liangwang Peak really should have taken good care of Liu Shisui, but if his guess is correct, this might be the beginning of that story.
Zhao Layue asked: "What's the situation now?"
"The masters and uncles of Shiyue Peak are looking for the reason, Elder Bai Rujing lost his temper a lot."
Gu Qing said: "Senior Brother Jian, who led the team, was punished by Shangde Peak and sent to the stone chamber. I have been thinking about it for half a year."
The senior brother Jian he was talking about was called Jian Ruyun, and he was the fourth senior brother of Liangwang Peak. He was born in Yunxing Peak.
Zhao Layue felt that something was wrong. Now that the cause of Liu Shisui's injury was not found out, Jian Ruyun was punished so severely. Who would be convinced? Are they not worried that such a disposition will cause criticism? Moreover, it is easy for ordinary disciples to feel disgusted with Liu Shisui.
Jing Jiu walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the peaks in the wind and snow, and remained silent.
Zhao Layue looked at his back and asked, "When are you going?"
This naturally refers to going to Tianguang Peak to visit Liu Shisui.
Jing Jiu was silent for a while, then said, "No."
Gu Qing was a little surprised, Zhao Layue asked: "Why?"
Jing Jiu said, "This is his own choice."
Gu Qing didn't understand the meaning of his words.
Zhao Layue vaguely felt something.
She knew that Jing Jiu was not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and she never deliberately pursued being too ruthless.
Gu Qing left, only the two of them were left in the cliff.
Zhao Layue asked: "What are you doubting?"
"Just a little thing."
Looking at the peaks in the wind and snow, Jing Jiu suddenly felt a little bored, and said, "I'm going to go for a walk."
Zhao Layue looked at his back and asked, "Where are you going? Facing Nancheng?"
Jing Jiu said, "No, just walking around."
Zhao Layue said: "You are not a disciple of Liangwang Peak, so you can't go out of the mountain at will."
Jing Jiu said: "Slaying demons... is a good reason, um... although I haven't done this kind of thing before."
Zhao Layue said: "I have done this kind of thing a lot."
When she was in Nansong Pavilion, she often took the outer sect's younger brothers and sisters to patrol around Qingshan.
But the hidden meaning in this sentence is that if you want to leave, I will go with you.
Jing Jiu turned around and looked at her, without saying a word.
Zhao Layue said: "Don't think too much, I just have something to do, so I happened to be traveling with you."
Jing Jiu said, "Your sword practice is at a critical moment, so you can't be distracted."
Zhao Layue said: "Last night I broke through."
Jing Jiu scanned it with his sword sense, and found that she had really reached the state of Wuzhang, a little surprised.
Entering the Wuzhang Realm, the lifespan increases greatly, the flying sword is like a god, and you can truly be called a sword fairy. For Qingshan disciples, this is the most important dividing line.
To Zhao Layue, it was as casual as if she ate a few fruits last night.
"As expected of a natural born Taoist. I thought it would take you two years, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Jing Jiu looked at her and said with a smile, "I'm not mistaken, you are really suitable for this set of sword skills."
This is naturally the Nine Deaths Sword Art left by Master Jingyang.
No matter how amazing Zhao Layue's talent is, without this set of real swords that are very suitable for her, it would be difficult to break through in such a short period of time.
"You think I'm more suitable than you?"
Zhao Layue looked into his eyes and asked, not hiding her tentativeness.
"Yes, because I don't like Nine Deaths Sword Art."
Jing Jiu's tone was very natural and calm.
Then he was silent for a while.
"But someone likes it."
…
…
In the middle of the night, Jing Jiu went down the mountain in the wind and snow.
He didn't go to Tianguang Peak to see Liu Shisui.
If he wanted to go, no one would stop him. He is now the uncle of Shenmo Peak, and he is higher than the three generations of disciples headed by Guo Nanshan.
The place he went to was Bihu Peak.
The sword formation of Bihu Peak still failed to detect his arrival, he came to the peak like a walk, and stood on the shore of that piece of Bihu.
Snowflakes fell from the night sky and disappeared into the lake without a trace.
He stood quietly by the lake, and after waiting for an unknown amount of time, the wind and snow finally subsided, and several bolts of lightning suddenly appeared in the night sky.
This time he didn't hide his whereabouts, and walked directly from the lake.
When the lightning fell, he skimmed lightly on the lake, his white clothes fluttering like a fairy.
Dong Lei shook, and the wild cats on the island did not know where to avoid it.
The lightning fell into the depths of the temple, and was swallowed by the soul wood for nourishment, without any sound.
The palace looked lonely and eerie.
The white cat was lying on the window sill, squinting its eyes, and its long cat hair was drooping, looking very sleepy.
Just looking at its appearance, who would have thought that it was the coldest and most terrifying white ghost among the four guards of Qingshan
Jing Jiu sat down on the window sill, his right hand naturally fell on the white cat's body, and began to rub from front to back, the movements were very skillful, as if he had done it for thousands of years.
The white cat's body was a little stiff at the beginning, but gradually became softer, as if accepting its fate.
"Neither you nor Layue like being touched on the head, only ten years old likes it."
Jing Jiu rubbed the white cat's head, fell silent for a while, and said, "Well, maybe he doesn't like it either, but he doesn't know how to oppose me."
The white cat ignored him.
"Ten-year-old is a child I met this time. A few days ago, I went to Zhuohe to eliminate demons, and something went wrong."
Jing Jiu said to himself: "The children in Liangwang Peak think that they have done this matter meticulously and skillfully, and they have laid the groundwork for a long time, so they will definitely succeed, but they are still too young, unlike you and I know it all. Almost exactly the same thing happened hundreds of years ago."
The white cat remembered what he said, and his eyes were slightly cold.
