Chapter 34: The night was deep

Views:

When Chu Zhiyuan and others looked at him, Baili Shu raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qiusheng calmly: "The Taishangzong sent you to investigate, you shouldn't be here in Yanmen County."

Ye Qiusheng never mentioned what he was going to do when he learned of the changes in Bingzhou Qingming Pagoda, but Bailishu directly stated his mission in a declarative tone.

Ye Qiusheng was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Young Master Baili is really smart."

His words undoubtedly acquiesced in Bailishu's statement that Taishangzong sent him to investigate Qingming Pagoda in Bingzhou.

"I can't help it. Whoever told me to be the closest to Bingzhou was sent to perform this thankless task." Ye Qiuchang sighed, quite heartbroken, "If I had known this, I should have run far away and toured the mountains. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to play in the water and search for ancient sites than this drudgery. However, isn't this just the destiny between me and Mr. Baili... Wait, don't use the sword casually!"

Ye Qiusheng's tone was a bit exaggerated, but with a slight kick, he slid back with his chair, avoiding the sword that Jun Wanbai slashed at him.

"It is said that women turn their faces faster than anything else. The ancients never deceived me."

Seeing the sharp trajectory of the sword light, Ye Qiusheng said with lingering fear.

"It's not necessarily slow for a man to turn his face." Shen Changge unfurled his fan abruptly.

"I've heard about Jiuxuan's high reputation for a long time, and I'm here this time to cooperate with you all." Ye Qiusheng's expression straightened instantly, with the appearance of a dignified scholar, exactly in line with Shen Changge's words, and the man's complexion changed quickly. .

Bailishu slightly raised his hand, motioning for everyone to stop and listen to what Ye Qiusheng had to say next.

"Since Mr. Baili has already known about the changes in Bingzhou Qingming Pagoda, presumably he has already contacted the master of the sect." When Ye Qiusheng's expression became serious, he had a bit of a Confucian temperament with the world in mind, and his eyes were filled with awe. , "The Royal Beast Sect is not far from Bingzhou. Their speed should be faster than ours. You Jiuxuan Taoist friends are no strangers to their actions. You are injured right now, and I am alone. It’s probably not a good thing for them to face each other. In that case, why don’t we go together?”

Although what Ye Qiusheng said before was unreliable, what he said about the Beast Sect was true.

Liang Zi of the Emperor Beast Sect and the Taishang Sect can be traced back hundreds of thousands of years ago, when Qingming Pagoda almost caused a disaster that affected the entire world of cultivating immortals. Liang Zi between Jiuxuanmen and Yushouzong did not have such a "long history", but there were also various frictions between the two families, and they were only a little short of completely tearing their skins apart.

Right now, all the members of Jiuxuan are wounded because of the misty prey they encountered before, and the main core disciples are injured. In this case, if he fights with the Beast Master Sect, he might not gain the upper hand. For some unknown reason, Ye Qiusheng was alone at this time, and he might not be able to benefit from the group of half-crazy guys from the Beast Control Sect.

As Ye Qiusheng said, under such circumstances, it would be beneficial for both of them to unite.

only…

Jun Wanbai's finger brushed slowly across the sword, her eyes were sharp as a knife looking at Ye Qiusheng who was smiling. She didn't know much about Ye Qiusheng, but from these few half-truths and half-tests, Jun Wanbai had already noticed that this person's strength might not be as harmless as he seemed.

The others thought the same as Jun Wanbai, no one spoke for a while, they subconsciously waited for Bailishu's decision.

Bailishu didn't say anything, instead he took out a sound-transmitting jade talisman, he injected a trace of true energy into it, Yi Heping's voice came out, it was an order for them to search for the changes in Bingzhou Qingming Pagoda first.

"Rest here first, and leave the next day."

Bailishu said softly, but did not reject Ye Qiusheng's proposal.

Ye Qiusheng didn't have any objections to Bailishu's rest and recuperation. Yanmen County is originally a county under Bingzhou, and it is also the nearest city to Bingzhou Qingming Pagoda. The original plan of coming to Bailishu was to rest near Bingzhou Qingming Pagoda. .

After the conversation, Ye Qiusheng seemed to have finally learned to wink. Under the unfriendly gazes of He Zhou and others, he made a dejected return to the room provided by the Jiuxuan branch.

……………………………………………………………

When Bailishu and others rushed to Yanmen County with Ye Qiusheng who appeared halfway, it was already dusk, and Bi Qiongye was shrouded in darkness after talking. In Yanmen County, except for the brightly lit city and official temple mansions, the surrounding area is very dense. This place is also the pass of the dangerous pass, not far from the Guomen, there are mountains like knives.

In the night, the mountains are like crawling ancient beasts, peeking at this small town.

Jun Wanbai woke up from meditating to heal his wounds, and the flow of true energy was much smoother than before. She breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, put on her robe, and walked to the window.

Her room is on the east side of the courtyard, looking out from her window, the south-facing room is separated by the locust trees in the courtyard, and the light from the window faintly leaks out. Except for Bailishu's room, the lights in the others' rooms were all turned off. Jun Wanbai frowned, sneered for a while, and closed the window to rest on his own.

Just when Jun Wanbai was about to close the window, a fallen leaf fell in front of her.

Jun Wanbai's expression moved slightly, the hand that closed the window paused, and he withdrew abruptly, the hilt of the sword slipped out of his sleeve quietly, and he held it in his hand.

At night, the air was cold, and there was a faint breeze in the courtyard. Jun Wanbai listened attentively, and the next moment she moved, she fled silently from the room.

The navy blue robe was made of unknown material, and the surface of the robe fluttered in the air like water, melting into the breeze without a sound, without making a sound.

Although there was wind in the courtyard, it was impossible for the wind to cause the fallen leaves to fall in front of them in that manner.

Someone left the room in the middle of the night.

who

Almost instantly, Jun Wanbai thought of Ye Qiusheng who lived in the north facing room. She followed the traces captured by her spiritual consciousness, and the two swords clenched in her hands were ready to be swung at any time.

When she passed the roof of Bailishu silently, she vaguely heard Bailishu's low coughing under the roof. Before Jun Wanbai could listen carefully, in her perception, a figure quickly flitted out from the left. That figure was extremely fast, and if Jun Wanbai hadn't just realized the artistic conception of "impermanence" a few days ago, he wouldn't have been able to capture it at this time.

Before he had time to think about it, Jun Wanbai chased after him.

The black shadow, like a ghost in the night, went out from the Jiuxuan Branch Gate, passed the official house and rushed all the way to the Guomen Gate. Jun Wanbai lifted his breath and hid his figure, followed closely behind. After leaving the inner city, there are a lot of low-rise houses with almost no lights. The figure passed under the eaves of a farmhouse.

Jun Wanbai followed and swept past the low eaves of the farmhouse.

After turning around, the black shadow in front disappeared. Jun Wanbai was slightly taken aback, and his figure paused.

At the moment of her pause, a figure hangs down from the corner of the eaves behind Jun Wanbai silently, and a knife light twists and flicks across the darkness, heading straight for the back of Jun Wanbai's head.
