Cultivation starts with time management

"If Jiang Xiao doesn't come to rescue, no matter whether Jiang Xiao cuts off his feelings or not, he won't have half a good opinion of Shushan Shangqing faction; if he comes to rescue, we will have a chance to seize the sword...Of course, before that, we need to kill him first. Only if the charge of treason is completely settled."

"Leng Quan, you have never been involved in anything related to Qingluo Peak before. With you as witness, no matter how suspicious Headmaster Yujing is, there is absolutely no evidence to refute it."

Chapter 3 Let's make a choice

Traitor.

Hateful traitor!

Ling Yunpo has never hated the existence of traitors more than now.

Hell Road, what kind of underworld sect!There is also Mount Shu, the majestic peak master is actually a dark son of hell, and even wants to kill a young and promising Jindan real person like me, I think you Shushan... I am afraid it is a pill!

"Is there a possibility that he didn't want to kill you, but wanted to seize your sword?" Kunlun Mirror reminded him.

"Is there any difference?" Ling Yunpo asked back, "If you snatch my sword, don't you want to kill me as well?"

However, after such a reminder from Kunlun Mirror, Ling Yunpo reacted immediately:

Wait, my Qingping Sword...Qingping has already gone with Yuhua Shengxian?Then what exactly is my Qingping sword?

"Qingping, um, I want to ask you something." Ling Yunpo took Qingping's sword out of his body and asked.

Qingpingjian remained silent, obviously pretending to be dead.

"I don't understand what Elder Minghua said earlier." Ling Yunpo continued to ask, "You are not my Qingping, what kind of sword can you be? Ruping?"

"Who is Ruping?" Qingping asked curiously because the stalk was so out of time and space that Qingping's sword didn't hold back.

"Ruping is..." Ling Yunpo pondered for a moment, then said, "Why don't you tell me who you are, and I'll tell you who Ruping is."

"Master Sword Master, instead of trying to find out who I am, you might as well think about how to save your Senior Sister An." Qingpingjian said in a long voice, "After all, Elder Minghua dared to fight in Sichuan. If Yamanouchi made a move against you, he must have been certain that An Zhisu would not come to rescue you, or he would report to Headmaster Yujing for help for you, right?"

correct!The first task now is to find out what happened to Senior Sister An!

Ling Yunpo thought up to this point, he was extremely anxious, and he didn't care to continue sharpening his Qingping sword, he just left the border of Shushan quickly, found a nearby market, concealed his identity, and inquired about news.

Soon, a bigger tragedy was learned:

Master Qing Heng is suspected of killing his fellow disciple Sima Changyan, and is currently being wanted by Shushan for a reward. Anyone who brings him back to Shushan alive can get a generous bounty from Shushan.

"Suspected" and "wanted to live" instead of "confirmed" and "shoot to kill", it shows that the senior officials of Shushan did not fully believe in the framing by the elder Minghua, so they still wanted to arrest real Qingheng to learn the truth.

But since Elder Minghua was able to kill Sima Changyan to blame him, he might not have a countermeasure. If he returned to Shushan at this time, he would most likely fall into the trap of himself and wait to die.

Have to figure out a way.

Ling Yunpo was trying to think of a way, and found that there were many unidentified monks in the square city.

Is it the Shushan monk who came to arrest me?No, according to the scan results, some of them are casual cultivators with completely different skills from Shushan, and they presumably came here for the bounty.

With the help of the A-mirror illusion, he skillfully escaped from the hunt of these monks, and no one could notice his existence.

Turning into a sword light and heading south, the frontier is the border of the southern border.In this season, peach blossom miasma is everywhere in southern Xinjiang, and it is difficult for high-ranking monks to stay in it for a long time.

But Ling Yunpo has already mastered the innate chaotic great five-element divine light. Now, for him, the five-element change is as simple as breathing. Immediately, he operates the magic method to clear away the peach blossom miasma around him, leaving a safe area for passage.

Hiding deep in the miasma in southern Xinjiang, Ling Yunpo was relieved.

It is impossible for monk Shushan to catch up here, but what should he do next?

Not hearing from Senior Sister An made me uneasy after all.

But as Qingpingjian said, since Elder Minghua dared to attack me, the situation of senior sister may not be much better.

Wait, are they going to convict Senior Sister An and execute her publicly?

If so, it would explain why Wei Dongliu on the future timeline got the news in the base camp of the Demon Cult—because Shushan wanted to use the news of the execution of Senior Sister An to lure me back to the sect!

Damn, how could I be fooled!

"Really?" Kunlun Mirror suddenly asked, "But if you don't go back, if they really execute An Zhisu, wouldn't you regret it for the rest of your life?"

"Senior Sister An is a second-grade golden elixir." Ling Yunpo replied, "Unless Changmei Immortal was taken away by a demon, how could he possibly execute a second-rank golden elixir?"

"In this way, you are [-]% sure that even if you don't go back, the senior sister will never have an accident?" Kunlun Jing asked in surprise.

Ling Yunpo remained silent.

Kunlun Mirror's question just now is actually the deepest worry in his heart:

From a rational analysis, it is impossible for Shushan to destroy the Great Wall by itself and execute a second-grade golden elixir.How many thousands of years would it take to get a second-grade golden elixir!

But the development of the current situation is too paradoxical. First, Senior Sister An was taken away inexplicably, then Elder Minghua, a traitor in the hell realm, blew himself up, and then he was framed and framed, and was even wanted by Shushan...

Even if the senior sister is good-natured, or there is no traitor like Elder Minghua, I will go directly to the head teacher Yujing at this time, and confess my confidant to prove my innocence.

But what if... Combining the above two points, what if Immortal Changmei is deceived by ghosts in hell and really wants to kill our Qingluofeng lineage?

The senior sister is now in prison, and I am the only one who can make a choice!

Be careful!If you easily choose to return to the faction, but fall into a state of death, the consequences will be irreparable!

After thinking about it, Ling Yunpo felt his scalp go numb and couldn't make up his mind at all.

……

Every once in a while, Ling Yunpo would leave the cover of miasma in the southern border, and go out to Fangshi to inquire about news.

The new news this time was expected.

The real Jiang Xiao was sentenced to a month later for murdering his fellow disciples, and he was interrogated in Tianji Square in Jinding, Emei.

Killing the same sect without authorization, if it is placed in other sects, it is basically a life for a life, but because of the fierce introversion and too many private fights here in Shushan, it is hard to say how it will be judged.

It may be the death penalty, or it may be a fixed-term imprisonment of hundreds of years, or even more likely, it is not intended to be sentenced, just to trick me back!

How could I be fooled by such a small skill?I bet you guys won't do anything to Senior Sister An!

"By the way, haven't you thought about it yet?" Kunlun Mirror asked aloud, "If you think this is a trick to lure you back, then Shushan Lingyunpo's identity will be temporarily sealed up."

"As long as the suspicion on your body is not cleared for a day, it is impossible to get the fragments of the sky-replenishing stone from the immortal Changmei. It is better to focus on other identities first."

"What do you mean you haven't made up your mind yet? I just plan to proceed with caution." Ling Yunpo was still stubborn.

Kunlun Mirror sighed and remained silent, knowing that Ling Yun Po spoke of acting cautiously, but in fact he was still hesitant.

What if An Zhisu was sentenced to death and asked to be executed in public?In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, Ling Yunpo must go back to save people.

But how to save people?Fighting against the entire Shushan Shangqing faction, head-on to the Liangyi Mochen Sword Formation?

As long as he goes back, with the cultivation level of his little Jindan Daoist, it is obvious that the fish and meat on the chopping board will be slaughtered.

"Hey." Kunlun Mirror sighed, "If you want me to say, it's better not to go back."

"Once you are exposed to the entire Shu Mountain, I will not be able to rescue you and An Zhisu together, and even if I want to take you away, my ability will also be exposed to the risk of the public."

"Anyway, you and An Zhisu are just acting on occasion. The real goal is to collect fragments of the sky-replenishing stone, right?"

Ling Yun broke silent.

Chapter 4 almost done

Ling Yunpo often wonders if the relationship between him and An Zhisu is just a joke.

If not, then the countless affectionate interactions in the past, as well as An Zhisu's almost unlimited trust, tolerance and dependence on him, are they all fake?

If yes, then how to explain that as a traitor, he will betray Shushan sooner or later, and An Zhisu has never been aware of this?

Here again a more difficult essential question is involved:

What exactly are you planning?

If you still set the goal of collecting all the sky-replenishing stones, then you should avoid getting yourself involved in unnecessary dangers.

What is an "unnecessary" danger?Even if you go back to Shushan to rob the execution ground, even if you have a first-grade golden elixir, many fairy-level secrets, and no matter how superb your swordsmanship is, facing the vast number of Yuanying elders in Shushan, and the long-browed immortal holding the Liangyi Weichen sword, you are basically defeated by a group of people. Slap to death, don't do what it wants.

This is unnecessary danger!Chen Guanshui, what can you do if you go back?

If An Zhisu will really be sentenced to death, you will only go to Huangquan Road with her when you go back;

But if Shu Shan didn't intend to punish An Zhisu, then whether you go back or not will have the same result.

Ah Jing is right, I can't do anything when I go back, it's better to temporarily seal up the trumpet on the Shushan side, and wait to see how Shushan will deal with Senior Sister An.

but……

However, if Shushan really intends to...

In the cave where he was hiding, Ling Yunpo violently pulled his hair, bloodshot eyes had appeared in his eyes.

He looked out of the cave with a stiff expression, his eyes were dull, like a wild animal struggling in vain in the mire.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Ajing and Qingpingjian looked at each other, speechless.

Ling Yunpo's analysis of the situation is naturally approved by every mirror and sword.

What happened to An Zhisu in the end depended on Shu Shan's true attitude towards her.Whether Ling Yunpo chose to go back to save her or not, the possibility of connection is probably less than one tenth of one percent.

If you don't believe me, just ask if a thousand Ling Yunpos gathered together can rescue Senior Sister An from Shushan?

Even if 1 Ling Yunpo were tied together, in the hands of Immortal Changmei, they might not be able to move even a single move!

Rescuing or not rescuing is of no avail. Jin Dan's cultivation level is too weak. Facing a giant like the Shushan Shangqing School, it is as vulnerable as a praying mantis trying to stop the wheels from advancing.

If you want to do it purely rationally, you should choose not to go back for rescue.

In this way, if Shushan really wanted to kill An Zhisu, at least Ling Yunpo would not die along with him.

However, if Ling Yunpo could really think rationally, then he wouldn't be entangled here for so long.

Since he was entangled, no matter whether he admitted it or not, deep down in his heart he longed to save Senior Sister An—even if he couldn't convince himself rationally at all.

"Watching the water." Kunlun Mirror said with a sigh, "Or we can switch to another trumpet and find out what Shushan's attitude is like in the future, how about it? It's not a solution for you to sit here and struggle."

"What if other trumpets go to inquire and find out that Shushan has already executed the senior sister, what should we do?" Ling Yunpo said indifferently, "It's too late."

His voice was a little hoarse, which made Kunlun Jing very unbearable, so she was silent for a long time and asked:

"Guan Shui, you actually..."

"... have fallen in love with An Zhisu, right?"

At that moment, Ling Yunpo's figure suddenly froze.

Before revealing his identity, he could chatter with Ah Jing, saying how could I not love Senior Sister An with her big breasts, thin waist and long legs, and that I was a disciple of Qingluo Peak from the first moment I saw Senior Sister... But then It's just rhetoric to fool the past.

If you really fell in love with her, how would you face her after you brazenly conspired to seize the Heaven-Bending Stone and really betrayed the Shushan Shangqing Sect?

Let the senior sister face the pain and despair of being deceived and betrayed. Is this what you call "loving her"?It's really touching.

To some extent, the grave crisis brought about by Elder Minghua this time is just to advance the future crisis, allowing Ling Yunpo to suffer the psychological torture he deserved first.

"Or." Kunlun Jing said slowly, as if she was making a very difficult decision, so that her voice trembled a little, "Or, let's forget about the matter of taking the Sky-Mending Stone."

"What about you, continue to be your Shushan Sword Immortal Ling Yunpo, and I will find another host to start from scratch, so as not to ask you to betray Shushan later, and have to part with your beloved senior sister, making me seem to be tormenting the host Like an evil magic weapon..."

"I don't know." Ling Yunpo replied in a low voice.

"Huh?" Kunlun Mirror asked in a daze.

"I don't know." Ling Yunpo looked at the sandy ground and repeated, "I don't know if I fell in love with her or not."

Of course.Kunlun Jing suddenly remembered that when this guy was in the Wenxin Cave in Shushan, there was no way to prove the love flow at all.

Of course he's going to put on a show, which is what he's good at anyway.He could hug Xu Yinglian, Shi Liuli, and Jiang Li and call his wife, and he could tell Longhu that I will protect you for the rest of his life, but he never said the three words "I love you" to any of them. words.

Maybe it's because I feel hypocritical, maybe I'm afraid of showing my flaws, or maybe I can't say it at all, who knows?

Maybe even he himself doesn't know the answer...

Kunlun Jing was thinking in a daze, and suddenly heard Qingpingjian sigh and say:

"Master Sword Master, sometimes, it may not be right to act according to instinct."

"It's like a mother with a child facing a wolf. Even if she bravely rushes up to fight the wolf, she will die or die. It's better to leave the child and run for her own life. The wolf is busy eating the child. Come to kill mother, right?"

"Hey! It's almost done!" The Kunlun mirror was full of black lines, and quickly interrupted it, "You can talk less if you don't know how to speak!"

"But." Qingping Jian giggled, "Oh, after all, human beings are such stupid creatures. They clearly know that hiding is the best choice, but when it comes to critical moments, they still rush out."

"Master Sword Master, you shouldn't be such a fool, right?"

Ling Yunpo didn't answer, but continued to look down at the ground.
