Estranged - Chapter 142
Falling Cloud Mountain is an extremely small sect.
There are only three people in the sect, Li Muxing, her master, and a handyman disciple who is in charge of cleaning the inside and outside. He was abandoned because he was born deaf and dumb. Master Li Muxing took him back with mercy and taught him some rough kung fu. , barely counted as half a disciple of Falling Cloud Mountain.
Li Muxing has been smart since she was a child. She can basically watch the heart art exercises taught by her master two or three times. There are many smart people in the world. Falling Cloud Mountain is located in a remote place, but it is rare to see talents. Mu Xing’s talent is outstanding, and she shouldn’t be buried in this small sect. In the second year after she broke through the realm of inner demons, it happened that the news of Qianlinhui came. Ask Zhengrong Villa for a name card.
That old friend had some connections with Zhengrong Mountain Villa, so he asked for one after another, and sent it to the head of the sect with a letter from a flying geese. Looking at the golden invitation card, Li Muxing’s name was impressively on it. The door solemnly handed it over to Li Muxing, and told her to perform well when she went to the Qianlin Club. Li Muxing.
Li Muxing went down the mountain again with this great trust. She went east all the way, higher mountains, crossing rivers, watching the sun rise and set. On the way, she met several fellow Taoists, and parted ways due to various reasons. There are those who come from famous families but are approachable, there are also those who are young geniuses who rely on their status, and there are those who come from a small sect like her but are unwilling and feel sorry for themselves. The state of mind is much stronger when practicing in Falling Cloud Mountain.
After a year and a half, stop and go, tour the mountains, and occasionally stop to practice for a few days, I finally came to Shangzhou, and there were new fellow Taoists—four monks from the 12th floor of Baiyujing, and the other three men A woman with different temperaments. Generally speaking, she is young and arrogant, but she is also much better than those famous disciples with eyes on the top of their heads.
It’s not that Li Muxing doesn’t want to go alone, it’s just that the closer you get to Zhengrong Mountain Villa, the more monks will go to join the Qianlin Society. Xingxing has traveled the rivers and lakes for so long, and his experience is already very rich.
The four monks on the twelfth floor of Baiyujing, together with her, settled down at the inn in Shangzhou City. After preparing for a rest, they headed directly to Zhengrong Mountain Villa. Sitting together from time to time, talking freely about the scene to be seen.
“I heard that this Qianlin meeting will be unprecedentedly grand. Not only will there be a large number of masters, but also the grandmasters of various sects will be present. Those who win ten games in a row will even get personal guidance from several suzerains!”
The speaker was Qin Qian. He was the youngest and least experienced junior among the four. This was his first time going down the mountain to practice, so his tone was the most excited. Don’t fall behind in everything. If there is excitement, it is necessary to join in Looking ahead, he is a veritable gossip.
“Okay, don’t blah, talk like you can win ten games in a row, we are just going to join in the fun, as a green leaf foil, this kind of scene is still the people of Shenxiao Xianfu and Wanjian Xianzong world.”
This is Lin Wenyu, the second senior brother. He is careless, and his expectations for the Qianlin Club are much lower than that of the junior brother Qin Qian, because he went to the meeting a few years ago. We know that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.
“Could it be that the suzerains of the Shenxiao Xianfu will also go? I don’t know if the Shengjue Buddha Seat of Wanlian Buddha Land will come to Zhengrong Mountain Villa. I heard that he is not only cultivated, but also graceful, like a fairy, like a god, It’s so impressive, I really want to see it!”
This delicate and soft little girl is the third junior sister, Youyue, who warmly invited Li Muxing to go with her, because she is the only female cultivator among the four senior brothers. Leaving this void, all the brothers and sisters doted on her, and they had no objection to Li Muxing, who was alone and harmless.
In just a few words, you can see the different personalities of these people.
Li Muxing smiled slightly, thinking that this trip down the mountain, even if he didn’t have the limelight at the Qianlin meeting as his master wished, it would be worthwhile to go to these experiences, but he saw Xuanyue suddenly turned around.
“Sister Li, have you seen Sheng Jue?”
Li Muxing shook his head: “I am the same as you. I went back down the mountain and saw mountains and rivers along the way. I still don’t know enough to see the demeanor of these masters.”
Eldest brother Xia Zheng didn’t speak, as if he didn’t hear them.
While pouring tea for himself, he looked up and looked outside. The water in the tea cup was full and he didn’t pay attention until it overflowed the cup and dripped onto the edge of the table and dripped on his body.
“Brother Xia Dao, your cup!” Li Muxing reminded softly, Xia Zheng just woke up and hurriedly got up to wipe off the water stains on his body.
Li Muxing was surprised at his gaffe, so he followed his line of sight just now, and he was also taken aback for a moment.
There is a person standing at the door.
Standing against the light, with fluttering clothes and a long sword.
Although she couldn’t see her face clearly, Li Muxing couldn’t help but want to take a closer look. She realized that this might be the reason why Xia Zheng was distracted just now.
The other party looked around, as if looking for a vacant seat, and was about to leave after finding that the hall was full.
Yuyue stood up first to keep people away: “Brother Taoist, please stay here, we still have a place here!”
Li Muxing secretly supported his forehead.
Although the Eight Immortals table can seat two people on one bench, it is already a bit crowded for five of them to sit. It is enough for two girls to sit together, and it is impossible for two big men to sit side by side.
Besides, whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, and you don’t know whether you will get along well or not, it would be a bit abrupt to invite here rashly.
The person seemed to hesitate for a while, and then walked over.
“Thank you fellow daoists for your invitation. Sun Wuxia is a fledgling in Xia Jinque Taoist Palace, so I invite a few fellow daoists to give me some advice.”
When he approached, Li Muxing finally saw the other person’s eyebrows clearly, couldn’t help secretly applauding, and subconsciously took another look.
He really lives up to his name, the two girls present thought at the same time,
Words are like pearls, deeds are beautiful, isn’t it flawless?
Yaoyue said quickly, “Young Daoist Sun, are you going out alone? Are you also going to the Qianlin Club?”
Senior brother Xia Zheng gave her a reproachful look.
Sun Wuxia didn’t take it seriously: “Yes, I was going to rest in Shangzhou for a night before leaving. I never thought I would be late, and I didn’t find the inn after a few rounds.”
“Sun Daoyou’s words are wrong. It’s not uncommon for monks to go out and eat and sleep in the open. If there is no place to stay, you can go on the road overnight, and you can go to Zhengrong Mountain Villa to rest earlier.” The second brother Lin Wenyu was habitual. Argue.
Sun Wuxia smiled and said, “I’m just a servant of the world, and I’m afraid of losing face to my master, so I want to tidy up before going.”
Seeing that he not only didn’t get angry and waved his sleeves, Xuanyue also explained in a good temper, which made him feel better, so she invited him to sit with him for a rest, and then asked Xia Zheng: “Elder brother, we happen to have four rooms, why don’t we give one to Fellow Daoist Sun. “
Lin Wenyu couldn’t help but said, “I don’t want to hear my junior brother snore!”
Qin Qian was unconvinced: “Where did I snore, the brothers who lived with me never told me!”
Lin Wenyu: “Then you go and poison senior brother.”
“That’s enough, that’s enough!” Xia Zheng had a headache, and he had nothing to do with his juniors and juniors. He cupped his hands at Sun Wuxia, “The name of Jinque Taoist Palace is like thunder, and it’s a great honor to meet you. We are from the twelfth floor of Baiyujing. If fellow daoists don’t mind, we can spare a room for you.”
He thought the other party would be polite, but Sun Wuxia said immediately: “Then thank you fellow daoists.”
The “Sun Wuxia” in front of him is none other than Jiufang Changming.
The reason why he hit the snake with the stick is also very simple. Like Li Muxing, going to Qianlin alone will attract attention easily, and following the crowd is the safest and hidden way. The accident affected the fight between him and Luomei.
Except for the heartless Yueyue, Xia Zheng and the other senior brothers all felt that Daoist Sun was too familiar, and he didn’t know how to be polite at all, and everyone was not familiar with each other. After getting up and walking away for a while, Lin Wenyu couldn’t help complaining to his junior sister, saying that she shouldn’t invite others to live with her casually.
“Golden Que Dao Palace, why have you never heard of this sect?” Lin Wenyu muttered.
Yaoyue curled her lips: “I can see that you haven’t listened carefully to Elder Liu’s talk about the general trend of the world. Although the Jinque Dao Palace is not a first-rate school, it is also a top-notch second-rate school.”
Lin Wenyu: “Then why did he come alone?”
Yuyue: “Aren’t we the only big brother who got the name card?”
Lin Wenyu fell silent.
Theoretically, only those who have a name card can participate in the Qianlin Club, but if the other party brings relatives from the teacher’s school, it is impossible to prevent them from entering, but they will not be able to leave at that time, they can only watch from the sidelines. Among them, Xia Zheng has the highest cultivation level. The rest of them have been in the field for a few years, and their qualifications are neither bad nor amazing. Naturally, they have not yet qualified to compete at the Qianlin meeting, so they are only here to accompany the big brother worldly.
The Twelfth Floor of Baiyujing has a lot of background. In the past two years, some disciples made a big splash at the Qianlin Meeting. Now they are already famous monks. If Xia Zheng performs well this time, the reputation of the Twelfth Floor of Baiyujing will only go even higher. Going up, maybe he can compete with those famous families in Shenxiao Immortal Mansion in the future, so this time Xia Zheng is holding on to the hope of playing steadily and having the last laugh, hoping to win greater honor for the school and himself.
Jiufang Changming returned quickly, everyone ordered some beef noodles and steamed stuffed buns, and he ate them too, with no intention of being polite.
Yuyue asked Jiufang Changming about it, such as what kind of existence is the Jinque Taoist Palace, what fun things are there nearby, and why he came out alone this time. He is more interested in eating, drinking and having fun than in cultivation.
Li Muxing is also quite interested in Jinque Taoist Palace, mainly because she once heard from her master that after a master uncle of their previous generation married into Jinque Taoist Palace, she has not been back for many years. This gate also has some connections with Jinque Taoist Palace.
Jiufang Changming has traveled all over the world, even if he is not a member of the Jinque Dao Palace, he can still say that he is inseparable, so that the other party will not be suspicious at all, and the meal is considered pleasant. After a few people finish the meal, Xia Zheng is ready. After paying the bill, I realized that Jiufang Changming had already paid the rent and food expenses for several people when he got up and left just now. Xia Zheng was still a little bit sorry, and wanted to give the money to Jiufang Changming, but was sternly refused.
“Brother Xia Dao, what are you doing? We met by chance, and thanks to Buqi for willing to vacate a room for me, Sun is very grateful. If you can’t let me do something, then you won’t regard me as a friend.”
Xia Zheng had no choice but to say: “Then we won’t be polite, brother Sun Dao, your room is next to mine, just let me know if you have anything to say.”
There is no one who doesn’t like generous friends, not only him, the others and Li Muxing also think that Daoist Sun is not only born well, but also bold and generous in his actions, cannibalism, even the most arrogant Lin Wenyu was speechless.
This was the last night before going to Zhengrong Mountain Villa, everyone just thought it was ordinary, they didn’t expect the accident to happen so quickly.
After dark, several people went back to their rooms. Li Muxing and Yuyue slept in the same room. Li Muxing wanted to meditate, but Yuyue tossed and turned and couldn’t fall asleep. , I had no choice but to gossip with her.
After talking about it, the topic couldn’t get around Sun Wuxia, whom she just met during the day. The little girl came out and met a lot of people. Although Sun Wuxia wasn’t considered superior in terms of appearance, his temperament was very special. This kind of calm and unhurried maturity made Xuanyue’s eyes rest on him again and again.
In fact, Li Muxing also felt this way, but her Taoist heart was more determined, and she was not easily distracted and shaken like Xuanyue.
“When we met for the first time, we didn’t talk deeply to each other. Don’t say that Sun Daoyou didn’t understand us, and we didn’t understand him. I passed by Yinxichuan before, and I heard that a person was betrayed by a good brother and lost his life treasure in the end. “The implication is that this Daoyou Sun’s character is good or bad, and she is worried that the little girl will be deceived without knowing how deep she is.
Yuyue opened her eyes wide, and suddenly chuckled: “Sister Li, you are thinking too far, I am just a little curious about him, do you think I will fall in love with someone I have just met a few times? But— “
She deliberately prolonged the tone, as if to tease Li Muxing.
“Sister Li, why don’t you ask me another day, does he have a Taoist companion?”
Li Muxing’s expression changed as expected.
Youyue hecked twice, and was about to tease her, but at the next moment, Li Muxing suddenly jumped up, tightly covered her mouth, and pressed her dumb acupoint, making her unable to utter a sound.
“Silence!”
The voice exploded in the ear, suppressed very low, and Yueyue opened her eyes wide in horror, watching a large black shadow slipping by outside.
In the dead of night, the moonlight was shining brightly, the black shadow was reflected outside the door, and slowly slid across the corridor, Yaoyue shuddered, and suddenly found that she couldn’t move because Li Muxing touched her acupuncture points, but the black shadow outside, It was eerie, with indistinguishable outlines, more like a huge monster, but with an extremely heavy ghost aura, which penetrated through the doors and windows, and actually suppressed their aura, forming an overwhelming and absolute control.
Li Muxing felt that all her talent and cultivation were useless at this moment. She didn’t even have the strength to hold up a formula, so she could only tightly cover Xuanyue’s mouth to prevent her from attracting the attention of monsters by making a sound.
what is that…
Why is there such a horrible breath?
The black shadow slowly slid past the front of the room and disappeared from the sight of the two, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a painful muffled sound came from the next door.
“Help…”
It’s junior brother Qin Qian!
The two recognized each other almost immediately, Yuyue whimpered and struggled to save someone, Li Muxing hesitated for a moment, Yaoyue broke free from the restraints, and ran wildly, Li Muxing quickly chased after her.
After leaving the door, the terrifying aura increased to a higher level, and Xuanyue barely supported the wall and moved outside the open door of the next room, and saw a scene that she would never forget.
Qin Qian was lying on the ground, struggling to crawl out, but a huge black shadow covered him, which had already swallowed his two calves, and Qin Qian could vaguely see that Qin Qian’s two calves were shriveled, with no flesh left, and the bones were gone. Angry and frightened, Xuanyue subconsciously let out an ah, and the black figure immediately raised his head, a pair of blood-red eyes slowly turning in the black wrinkled skin, staring at Xuanyue.
Xuanyue only felt that her body was frozen, and she couldn’t even lift a finger. When she was flustered, a familiar sword light exploded in front of her eyes.
That is the sword of the big brother…
But the sword light fell on the black shadow, and then it was swallowed up and disappeared. The black shadow raised its hand, and the vortex appeared in the air, forming a strong suction force on them. Yuyue couldn’t help but moved forward and was sucked away. She yelled, tears streaming down her face, and said My little life is over, and my death is still unclear.
“Where is the evildoer, dare to be presumptuous!”
As the voice fell, a white light suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, and everyone felt that their bodies were wrapped in warmth, and all the coldness was completely removed.
At the same time, the vortex was cut off, and a black shadow flew up from Qin Qian’s body.
Yes, it’s Daoyou Sun!
