Chapter 68
Chapter 68
Baimen Fangdou is not only a trial meeting for new disciples in the cultivation world, but also a ranking for the cultivation of disciples above the golden core stage of each sect. Anyone who participates in the trial, the one with the highest score will be included in the record.
It's only been the first day of the competition, and every participating disciple is gearing up for it. You must know that the champions over the years are all masters in the cultivation world. For example, in the past, the first disciple back then was Feng Tingyun, and now he is Nan Territory lord.
Even though the position of lord is criticized and disdainful by various sects, the demons have no leader in the territory, and these young people have to move around and frequently disturb the Northern Territory. Feng Tingyun leads the chaotic southern land by himself, he can be regarded as the lord of the troubled times.
Although the original intention of cultivators is to seek immortality, but in the past 300 years, no one has aspired to become an immortal, and there are also some people who want to establish a sect, or seek immortality, or become famous. Feng Tingyun has gone from A newly promoted disciple who had just become famous became the leader of the monsters, and of course he also had supporters.
The most typical is the short biography of the mortal story, which almost deified the southern border lord, saying that he was born with a very high cultivation level, and the mortal saw his eyes burnt, and he cultivated the golden core for one year and broke through the small realm for three years... and said After he arrived in Southern Border, there were countless little demons who were impressed by his demeanor, and even the Fox clan wanted to give birth to him...
Rong Xin threw the script on the bed, folded his arms and sneered, "Hehe, how dare you make it up!"
"Why are you sulking?" Rong You came in with preserved fruit dew.
"How can I be sullen? You came just in time. Let me show you this script. What kind of shit is it written in? Feng Tingyun is as hard as a rock, how could he ride a crane with the little demon to see it?" Sunrise, ha, it's really insincere!"
Rong You picked up the scriptbook on the bed, opened it, and his eyes darkened immediately, "Why are you still reading such dirty words?"
Rong Xin rubbed his nose, "You came back from Miyin Peak? How is it? Did something interesting happen today?"
Rong You stuffed the preserved fruit to him, "There are no interesting things, but tragic things happen frequently. The Taixu Sect has been unstable these past few days. I heard that another disciple died today."
"Ah? Why do you say again, does it have anything to do with the previous disciple of the Peerless Sect?"
Rong You nodded, "The way of death is the same, they are all poisoned by foxes, and their energy and spiritual power are sucked up. Now the elders of all the sects are going to condemn the monsters and demon cultivators from southern Xinjiang, saying that they are Came here specifically to sabotage the Fangdou Conference."
"Is there such a coincidence in the world? Just arrived at Taixuzong, one after another died, as if premeditated. Could it be that someone wants to provoke the discord between the southern border and the northern region again?"
Rong You picked up all the messy words on the bed, "I also think this is indeed a coincidence. But someone brought the monster Moxiu to the Taixu Sect but didn't show up. Isn't this leaving something for people to talk about?"
"Huh? Feng Tingyun didn't show up?" Isn't he still going crazy in the prefect's pool today?
"How would I know." Rong You suddenly looked at Rong Xin seriously, "You wouldn't secretly go to see him behind my back, would you?"
Rong Xin's back tightened, "Hahaha, what are you talking about? Why should I go to see him secretly?" Although he did have the intention to find Feng Tingyun before, but today he made such a fuss in Taishouchi, he dare not do it again. To find bad luck.
Rong You raised his eyebrows, "Brother, don't forget what you promised me."
"Never forget, never forget!" He sneaked into Yi Pavilion that night, originally wanting to find Rong Fang, but he didn't expect to see Rong You, and was so guilty by Rong You's tears, he promised him that no matter what in the future, he would never make fun of his life , "But what does this have to do with seeing the Lord of Southern Border?"
Rong You's eyes became sharp, "Didn't brother just say that? The two dead disciples were obviously acting against Southern Xinjiang. No matter what the purpose was, they were always involved in disputes. You survived a catastrophe. You are not allowed to meddle in these things." ,Do you understand?"
"Yes, I got it, Young Master You! You and Rong Fang are not related by blood, how can you say the same thing?"
"If brother can understand our feelings, father and I don't have to worry so much." Seeing him finish eating the preserved fruit, Rong You handed him the dew, "You have been away for six years, and I have been looking for news about you everywhere, brother, we I only hate myself for being a mortal, as long as I can have a high level of cultivation, I won’t be able to look at people’s faces and protect you.”
Rong Xin smacked his mouth, "Okay, I know it is. You should also be more careful, the matter of Taixuzong will definitely not end like this."
Sure enough, on the second day, another disciple died.
Early in the morning, Rong Xin heard a disciple knocking on the door, "Senior, this disciple is ordered to come to inform you, please all the distinguished guests in the sect today to move to Miyin Peak, is senior in the house?"
Just as Rong Xin opened his eyes from meditation, he heard Rong You outside the room asking, "Is there anything important?"
Those disciples were very polite, "Young Master You, a disciple's body was found in the sect this morning. The headmaster used the nightmare mirror to find out that the man in black who was acting came to the Confucian Gate Peak and arrived near Yi Pavilion. All distinguished guests in the sect are invited to go to Miyin Peak first, especially..." The leading disciple glanced at the closed door, "Especially everyone in Rumen Peak."
Yi Pavilion is on Confucian Gate Peak.
Rong Xin had already heard it very clearly in the room, he hurriedly put on his valance and walked out the door, "We all have to go, right? Let's just go."
The leader was the first disciple of the Taixu Sect, and he apologized, "My lord, I'm sorry. It's really because there have been many miscellaneous things in the sect recently, and I have offended you a lot."
Rong Xin thought, it's not that he wants to get involved in these disputes, but troubles will come to him automatically.Besides, he didn't want to hide, even if he saw Xuance and the others, it would be fine, anyway, now that he had thought clearly, it was impossible for him not to return to Misty Peak for the rest of his life.
It's just that this time things are far from as simple as imagined.
When they arrived at Miyin Peak, they saw that the elders and disciples of the various sects had already gathered in the Yinlu Pavilion, and the leader was Yan Dingshan. Unexpectedly, Rong Xin did not see Xuan Ce, nor Feng Ting Yun, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the young man from Xi Huanzong pointing at him and asking, "It's you again? You were wearing the veiled cap when an accident happened at the Jueshimen last time, why didn't you take off the veiled cap?" ?”
Rong Xin: "..." Ye Linran is not there, why do people keep staring at him?
Rong You crossed his arms, "He puts it on when he wants to, and takes it off when he wants to. Your talkative appearance is annoying."
The female cultivator named Yuyan from the Peerless Sect spoke for him, "Young Master You are talking about this, fellow Daoists are also doing it for everyone's benefit, now the murderer doesn't know where the murderer is hiding, and he doesn't know who is the underworld. One, of course you have to be more careful."
Rong Xin tugged at the hem of Rong You's clothes, and took off the cap, "There are no debt collectors present, so it's okay to take it off, I'm kidding."
Wen Fengyin from Hongyi Valley was stunned when he saw his face, "It's you."
When everyone saw it, the face under the hood turned out to be beautiful and handsome.
But Yan Dingshan seemed very surprised when he saw him, "Aren't you Xuan Ce's disciple?"
Rong Xin bowed to Yan Dingshan, "Master Yan, I saw you in the Fangdou competition a few years ago, I didn't expect you to be so immortal."
Yan Dingshan is Xuan Ce's peer, so it stands to reason that Rong Xin would call him senior, so it is appropriate to salute him.
"It seems that I have not admitted my mistake." Yan Dingshan nodded.
Taoist Qingyang next to Yanding Mountain frowned, "Xuance's disciple? The one who crossed the sword with his body in Jialeng Temple? Didn't I hear that he died?"
As soon as Qingyang Taoist's words fell, everyone looked surprised again. So he was the one who crossed the sword in Jialeng Temple back then?
Rong You stepped forward and blocked Rong Xin behind him, "Senior, why are you bringing up the old story again? My brother crossed the sword with his body back then to suppress evil spirits, and finally woke up by luck. It is really a blessing among misfortunes."
Taoist Qingyang hated the way of evil spirits the most. When he heard that Han Shanling was disturbed by yakshas, he went alone to exorcise evil spirits. Later, he was attacked by evil monkeys and poisoned by corpses. , I can't wait to kill them one by one.
In the Battle of Southern Border, he was the one who advocated all-out resistance, but he would never be soft on anyone who got involved with demon cultivators and evil ways.
"I just heard that he is already dead. It's really suspicious that a person who died once is standing here again."
Rong You's tone was no longer polite, "What is the meaning of Taoist priest's words? Can't the dead be resurrected? There is still immortality in the mirror, and there is Huiyang Zhenshui today that can reshape the body. Why don't you think so?" My brother actually woke up with real water?"
Rong Xin frowned slightly, the reason why he didn't want Rong Xin to show up in front of everyone was like this, if a dead person was resurrected, if this person didn't use magic, then he used some panacea, the resurrection technique is just a few No matter which method is used, Rong Xin's body is a piece of cake, a good weapon for being robbed.
Not only Qingyang Taoist, but even the head of Longhumen said, "It's not that the dead can't be resurrected, it's just that the technique of rebirth has not appeared for nearly a hundred years, I'm just curious. Can this Mr. Rong tell you, what are you doing?" What kind of method was used, I will not ask any more questions when I have the bottom of my heart."
How can Rong Xin explain why?He is also confused now, "I don't know either."
Isn't it to find the murderer?Why are you staring at him?
Yan Dingshan came out to save the siege, "It doesn't matter what method Mr. Rong uses to revive, the important thing is that he has a pure heart and will never do such a cruel thing. Qingyang Taoist can rest assured about this. The demon cultivators in Nanjiang deny this completely. It was they who did it, and this person who used sorcery to kill people may have seen the cold relationship between the North and the South, and now if the murderer is not found, I am afraid that the Southern Border War will repeat itself."
Seeing that Yan Dingshan was protecting Rongxin so much, everyone couldn't ask further questions.
"The cultivation methods of the demon cultivators are not correct. Even if they participate in the big competition, they can't change this fact. It's better to ask them to come and confront each other. Anyway, the disciples of the other sects have already gathered at Miyin Peak. Even if another disciple dies today, we can know Who did it!" Taoist Qingyang said.
Rong Xin understood that he called everyone together until something happened and then ruled out the suspects one by one.
In the case of a large number of people, this is indeed a good way.
Another human said, "In yesterday's big competition, both the monster and the demon cultivator participated in the trial very well, and did not do anything out of the ordinary. Maybe what happened this time was really not done by the demon cultivator."
Everyone started discussing again, Rong Xin heaved a sigh of relief, and heard Rong You whisper, "Brother, You are also curious, what method did that man use to reshape your body?"
Rong Xin scratched his head, "I really don't know."
Rong You sneered, "Don't lie to me, I still believed you when you said you hadn't seen him yesterday, take a look at what you are holding in your hand?"
Well, he forgot to hide the sword when he went out, and now Rongyou found out. "This, this was an accident—"
Before Rong Xinhua finished speaking, he saw a large group of dark people coming towards the Yinlu Pavilion.
It is magic repair.
Moxiu's people dressed up in various ways, some were topless, some were wearing colorful clothes, all of them looked unfriendly, and when they saw the eyes of everyone, they showed contempt.
Not long after, there was the sound of a crane chirping in the sky, and a tall white crane shuttled between the white clouds and landed gently on Miyin Peak.
"It's a white-feathered crane! It's the lord of Southern Border, that's his mount."
It is very common to use spirit beasts as mounts in the cultivation world. Fengming chickens, rafter birds, and roc wings are all common mounts. As long as there are enough spirit stones, ordinary immortal families can afford to raise them, but there are almost no monks for white-feathered cranes. It can be used, because white-feathered cranes are extremely rare, they only live on Yuze Immortal Island, and it is impossible for ordinary people to even go to the island, let alone catch such cranes.
Therefore, when Feng Tingyun's crane mount appeared, many people recognized him.
The demon cultivators stepped back one after another, and when they saw him, they all had complicated expressions—the kind of look that is arrogant in front of outsiders, but dare not show it in front of their own lord.
Rong Xin also looked over. This person was the same as yesterday, with an extremely cold expression, and his light-colored pupils looked like two glass beads. Inside was an ice field, and there was a dark bottom hidden under the ice field.
He was wearing a black robe with flying sleeves, and the hem of the clothes fluttered with the breeze. After falling down from the crane, he glanced at the crowd. Still stopped in their direction.
Rong Xin's mind skipped a beat, and he took a sneak peek. Before the eyes of the two met, he turned his eyes away when he saw Feng Tingyun.
Saw?Still don't see it?
Rong Xin struggled in his heart for a while, then heard Qingyang Taoist snort, "It finally appeared!"
There is a man in Tsing Yi in the Demon Cultivator. His face is too pale, even his lips are almost colorless, and his black eyes are staring at Taoist Qingyang, "The lord is not free to deal with trivial matters every day .”
As soon as this remark came out, all the people in the immortal sect were dissatisfied, "What is a trivial matter, three disciples have died one after another, and the way of death is related to your southern border, it is fox art, and it is draining spiritual power. Is this true?" Is it just a small thing?"
What did the man in Tsing Yi want to say, Feng Tingyun glanced over, and he immediately fell silent.
Feng Tingyun replied to Taoist Qingyang, "It wasn't done by the demon cultivators. At least it wasn't done by the demon cultivators from the Scarlet Flame Territory."
Taoist Qingyang saw that Feng Tingyun was so sure, he couldn't help asking, "Why are you so sure?"
Feng Tingyun replied, "Whether it's a demon cultivator or a monster, after the battle in the southern border, the people in the frontier swore a blood oath to follow the cycle of karma, and those who break the precepts will never leave the frontier. Therefore, all the people in the frontier, I will not kill indiscriminately."
The elders of several major cultivation sects were very surprised—it is common in the cultivation world that the strong prey on the weak, not to mention monsters and demon cultivators, even well-known and decent monks will compete for resources regardless of cause and effect.Demon cultivators and other apprentices have extreme methods of practice, and are very prone to bloodthirsty. If they pay attention to cause and effect all the time, then it can somewhat check and balance the murderous nature of demon cultivators.
Yan Dingshan said, "Since that's the case, I won't be suspicious any more. It's just that I am thinking patiently about using such a sinister method to kill people."
"Three disciples, one died in Shuxiu Peak three days ago and was a disciple of Peerless Sect; one died in Guanyun Pavilion the day before yesterday and was a disciple of Miaowu Sect; the third died near Yi Pavilion of Confucian School Peak, He is a disciple of the Taixu Sect. This morning, someone saw that the person who killed the disciple of the Taixu Sect was a man in black, staying in the Confucian Gate Peak, and then disappeared."
The chief disciple of Taixuzong took out the Nightmare Mirror from this morning, and saw a man covered in black indeed coming out from the door of the dead disciple of Rumen Peak. Although his face could not be seen clearly, it was indeed Go in the direction of Yige.
Rong Xin frowned, but there was nothing unusual in Yi Pavilion this morning.
The young man from Xi Huanzong really suspected that he and Rongyou had fallen in love, "So maybe there is a real culprit in the Yi Pavilion? Can the two who live in the Yi Pavilion give everyone an explanation?"
Rong Xin was called again, but his eyes fell on Feng Tingyun, and the other party also looked at him, but before the two met their eyes, Feng Tingyun moved away.
——Is it Rong Xin's illusion?Why do you feel that Feng Tingyun deliberately lost sight of him?
Rong Xin suppressed his doubts, and heard Feng Tingyun say to Xi Huanzong's young man coldly, "After killing someone, go back to your residence in full view. Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"
Rong You also said, "That person purposely made the situation confusing, maybe to cover up his real purpose."
"What's the purpose?" someone asked.
"Set up the formation." Feng Tingyun and Rong You actually replied the same sentence in unison.
