Chapter 2060: Stay
When everyone's eyes fell on the remaining people, the middle-aged couple in the Qi Condensation stage couldn't help but tremble. They were the lowest in cultivation and were frightened to be looked directly at by so many Foundation-building monks. The young man in purple shirt was... The hunchbacked old man stood behind him. Although his face was embarrassed, he did not bear the pressure. Li Yan looked pale.
The middle-aged couple was trembling. The male cultivator quietly pulled the female cultivator behind him. Although his face was pale, he still managed to speak, "Wan...Junior 'Songyue Sect' Zhang...Zhang Peng, this is Zhuo Jing, She is also a junior junior sister. Yesterday she came to the market to buy medicine for her master, and she returned to the sect today, but...but she had been staying in the side room to rest because Zhuo Jing was not feeling well before, but...but she really didn't Those who have left the room, please have mercy on me, senior, and let us go back. Master, he is still waiting for this medicine to heal his injuries. Seniors can also check the storage bags of the two juniors. "After that, the male cultivator was in a hurry. He hurriedly took out two cyan porcelain bottles from the storage bag, and then took off the storage bag on his body. At his signal, the woman also took off the storage bag on her waist in a panic, but she wore it on her face. Blushing, it was obvious that there were items in the storage bag that women often use, and they didn't want others to know.
The two of them were helpless. When they came here, they all relied on spiritual weapons to fly, which was a waste of time. After buying the necessary medicines yesterday, they thought that they were running out of time to go back like this. After gritting their teeth, they decided to use the teleportation array early this morning. , who would have thought that he would be involved in this troubled water, and misfortunes never come singly. In fact, if they had really checked the storage bag before, it would have been OK for him and his wife. Anyway, no one would look down on the contents of their storage bag. However, one of the couple had wood spiritual roots and the other had water spiritual roots. He was under suspicion, so he didn’t dare to open his mouth.
When the Taoist heard this, he did not take the storage bags from the two of them. He just waved and two cyan porcelain bottles flew into his hands. He uncorked the bottles and checked them with his consciousness, then capped the two cyan porcelain bottles. , the cyan porcelain bottle flew back with a wave of his hand.
His expression softened a lot, "You two, take out the sect tokens and let me have a look." After hearing this, the middle-aged couple felt uneasy. Seeing that no one else had taken out their tokens, they didn't know who the Taoist Gong was. What do you mean, but I saw that the Taoist priest's face softened, and he felt a little relieved. He quickly took out two small tokens carved like pine trees from his storage bag.
This time, Taoist Gong just scanned his consciousness and nodded, "It is undoubtedly the token of the Songyue Sect. Is Min Songzi your master?"
When the middle-aged couple heard the Taoist priest speak like this, they seemed to know his master, and they couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. The male cultivator quickly said, "It's my master. It turns out that the senior knows him."
"Oh, is he injured?" Gong Taoist asked calmly.
"Senior, my master was injured while exploring a secret cave with some friends four years ago. He has been recuperating in recent years. This time it is at the last moment, so he needs some elixirs to assist him, so he The two of us were sent to the market to purchase elixirs." The male cultivator replied, but he looked a little sad afterwards, thinking that he was not a member of the sect. Originally, there were only about twenty disciples. After the master was injured, it would take a few years. When we came down, there were less than ten people left in the sect.
The Taoist priest didn't care what the male cultivator thought. He nodded again after hearing this. In fact, he knew that Min Song
It was he, Min Songzi and a few others who went out to hunt for treasures four years ago. Min Songzi's cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building and was very strong. He was just asking about it now. But Min Songzi was really awesome. During that treasure hunt, the last few people encountered a third-level early stage white jade spider. Although they finally got something, two of them died. However, Min Songzi resisted. Even Gong Taoist himself was seriously injured, but he was the head of a second-rate sect and had Master Jindan, so his injuries had long since healed. Min Songzi was just a casual cultivator in his early years. The sect that was founded many years ago has no one to rely on but itself.
"Okay, you two can leave. Master Ling and I are still acquaintances, and I also know his skills. This matter has nothing to do with you two." Gong Taoist said slowly, and the middle-aged couple Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Then he stood aside with a happy face and distanced himself from Li Yan and others. Although this time frightened them, they also saved a lot of spiritual stones. Okay, this is a big expense for his sect.
Seeing that many people were telling the difference at this moment, the purple-shirted young man suddenly looked anxious. He couldn't stay for a long time, so he hurriedly said, "Although my master and servant live in the side room,..." But he didn't wait. After he finished speaking, the hunchbacked old man pulled his sleeve, and an old voice said, "Master, we have no evidence whether he left the side room at that time. Let's rely on the Jindan Daxiu to come back and investigate." Although in his heart He was anxious, but also helpless. He knew that his master and servant could prove it to anyone, so leaving in such a hurry made people suspicious.
After hearing this, the young man in purple shirt looked outside the courtyard door with an even more anxious look. He knew for a moment that he could find no reason to leave. In the end, he had no choice but to lower his head angrily and kept whispering, "I would have been in the hall if I had known it." , I had known earlier..."
Seeing this, the monks in the Qingxuan audience looked at him with more vigilance, especially since the hunchbacked old man always had an indifferent expression, making others wonder what he was thinking.
"Haha, the two of us also went to the side room after arriving. There is no evidence whether we left." Just when everyone was still looking at the master and servant, a sinister voice sounded. It was the two men in black robes. One of them, they actually admitted it directly without any intention of defending, and they seemed not to be afraid that the golden elixir master would come back to investigate, which was quite simple.
After hearing this, Li Yan had an uneasy look on his face, and even said timidly, "I...I can't prove that I didn't leave the side room..."
As soon as Li Yan opened his mouth, everyone was finally divided into two areas. Although some people stared at Li Yan, after a quick glance, they finally focused on the young man in purple shirt and the man in black robe. After all, a hunchbacked old man and two foundation-building monks whose cultivation is hard to see through are what attract people's attention. Luo Sanpang and Qin Chengyi have cold eyes in their eyes. Although they are not in trouble for the time being, they are still the most suspicious people. .
When the palace Taoist glanced at Li Yan, he remembered that this person was recorded in the jade slip as a disciple of the "Blood Leaf Sect". Master Blood Leaf knew this person, but he had never met him, so he couldn't let him go. Li Yan left casually.
"This guy's cultivation is not bad at all. Although he is a little scared under the pressure, he is generally pretty good." Taoist Gong gave Li Yan an evaluation in his heart.
At this point, the Taoist priest turned to Kong Nantai and said, "You can take fellow Taoist Lin and Master Yue to the teleportation array. All the spiritual stones will be paid for by the sect." After that, he flew the sickle towards the bloody hand again. The Confucian scholar and others said, "Fellow Taoists, I won't delay you all, please!"
The Confucian scholar and the others stood opposite Li Yan and the other five, and there seemed to be a barrier between them. Seeing this, they all bowed their hands to the Taoist priest, and then followed Kong Nantai out of the courtyard. However, when they walked out, they all looked at Li Yan and others, some with sympathy in their eyes, like the pair in the middle. A young couple; some are indifferent, like the Confucian scholar Gui Liugang, etc.; some are actually excited and seem to take pleasure in others' misfortunes, such as the male and female disciples of the head of Yue, who were once a couple. He looked frightened and frightened, but now when he looked at Li Yan and others, his eyes revealed excitement.
Seeing this scene, Li Yan thought to himself, "There are some cultivators who are indifferent and ruthless, and there are also those who add insult to injury. It seems that the middle-aged couple may have been living at the bottom of the cultivator, but they have not lost their sympathy. It seems that with the cultivation level, With the increase, many immortal cultivators will cut off more things and become more and more ruthless and unrighteous."
However, the palace Taoist no longer looked at the Confucian scholar and the others, and looked up at the sky. It was already evening. In the evening of July, the stars appeared early and matched the sunset. Even in summer, this courtyard It looks cold in the middle.
He looked at Qin Chengyi and Luo Sanpang behind him, "Junior brother Luo, you will pick out a few clever disciples later. Junior brother Liu will be guarded by you until the master comes back. Nothing can be moved." , so as not to lose the clue. If something goes wrong again, it is up to you to explain everything to the master."
Luo Sanpang couldn't help but shake the fat on his face after hearing what Master Gong said. He was not stupid, he knew that his senior brother was blaming the blame. Senior Brother Liu's identity was very different, although he also had his great-grandfather Yu Yin. But how can it be compared with Senior Brother Liu, who has a blood relationship with the Master? Now that something happened to Senior Brother Liu, I don’t know how the Master will deal with them when he comes back. They are guarding the murder scene here. To say the least, they are just guarding here. , the murderer has been killed, so there is reason to go back. But at the end of the day, if the murderer could not be found and someone needed to bear the master's anger, he believed that the Taoist priest would just find a reason why the clues were missing, plus the fact that he was the first to appear at the scene of the crime during the day. No matter what, I can't get rid of it. But he knew he knew it, but he didn't dare to refute it. He had no choice but to agree and went to select people with a grimace. However, he was not a kind person. He had already made a plan in his heart and went to select a few people who he usually disliked for a long time. Disciple, he can also throw away the blame.
Seeing that Luo Sanpang had gone to select people, the palace Taoist turned to Qin Chengyi and said, "Junior brother Qin, go and arrange the residence of these fellow Taoists."
Come on, I still have things to discuss with several other junior brothers and junior sisters. "
After hearing this, Qin Chengyi hurriedly responded. He knew that he started late and had low cultivation. He had to be more diligent in doing these errands, and his situation was much better than that of Senior Brother Luo.
He was about to take a step when he suddenly stopped again and looked up at the Taoist Gong. This time he used voice transmission instead, "Brother, head master, do you need to arrange for disciples to guard the place where they live?"
The palace Taoist was greeting several junior brothers and sisters for discussion, and without looking back, he transmitted the message and said, "Now all the sect's formations have been opened and entry and exit are not allowed. How many formations can they get out of? I will let more people patrol. Watch out for them there.”
Qin Chengyi felt relieved and thought, "That's right. I guess if they walk out randomly, they won't be able to go very far before they fall directly into the attack of the formation."
Li Yan and the others have been quietly watching the arrangements of the Taoist priests here without making a sound. Qin Chengyi came over at this time and smiled slightly at them. "Fellow Taoists, today's incident is something we didn't want. I can only feel sorry for you to condescend to stay here for one night. Please come with me," he said. After that, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Li Yan and the young man in purple shirt looked at each other, but the two monks in black robes and cloaks didn't even look at them and followed Qin Chengyi first.
So Li Yan and the other three followed, but they still maintained a certain distance between them.
After leaving the courtyard, Li Yan saw Luo Sanpang coming towards him with several Qi Condensation disciples. Luo Sanpang helplessly waved to Qin Chengyi, passed them by, and looked at Li Yan and others with unkind eyes. He glared fiercely at him, and then made arrangements to guard this place with a fierce expression.
Qin Chengyi, Li Yan and the other five people did not go too far. They just walked a hundred or ten meters further along the row of houses and stopped at the entrance of a courtyard. He stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. Then he turned around and said to everyone, "Although there are many disciples in my temple, they are not as good as in the past heyday, so there are still a lot of empty houses. Many of these houses have been converted into receptions for guests. The courtyard here is It’s one place, but although there is a large formation covering the entire courtyard, it is not turned on when there are no guests. After all, the formation requires spiritual stones to operate at all times. "
While he was talking, he had already led Ta Yan and others into the courtyard. There were four towering ancient trees in the courtyard, and a row of six houses behind it. As night fell, white lights also lit up in the rooms, and Qin Chengyi Pointing to the building at the back, "Because this place has been changed to receive guests, a small protective formation is also installed in each room. The spiritual stones to activate the formation have been placed. You just need to activate it yourself. After all, This formation is also an ordinary protective restriction. It is an ordinary method to activate. It mainly serves the purpose of sound insulation and early warning. There are also disciples patrolling the temple at night. As long as there is any movement here, someone will come soon, so this is the reason. The formation still has a certain effect. Of course, if fellow Taoists are worried, you can arrange another set of formation protection in the room. "
Qin Chengyi said with a slight smile.
