no signs of spirituality

Xie Ling Zheng abandoned the sword, bowed his head and stood in front of the blood-splattered bed.

His complexion was terrifyingly ugly, Cheng Lingqi didn't dare to open his mouth for a moment, he cleared his throat after a while, and said in a tone: "Master sent me and Lingxi to take you back to Yingtai Mountain, and go to Tongtianzhu to think behind closed doors. The letter should arrive in no time."

Xie Lingzheng lowered his eyes halfway, and all he could see was the scraps of flesh and blood on the ground. After a long silence, he suddenly asked: "...What did I do wrong?"

Cheng Lingqi didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"

Xie Lingzheng repeated in a hoarse voice: "I am saving my friend, but beheading an adulterer with my sword, what's wrong with that?"

Cheng Lingqi didn't expect him to say this, and said sharply: "How dare you disobey Master?"

Xie Lingzheng ignored him and only asked, "Where is Master now?"

"Master went to Law Enforcement Venerable overnight to eliminate your crimes." Cheng Lingqi sneered, "You are really lucky."

Xie Lingzheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing: "He actually wanted to erase my crimes, did these people's deaths justify my crimes?"

"Xie Lingzheng, you are presumptuous!" Cheng Lingqi said angrily.

Xie Lingzheng ignored him, and suddenly picked up the bamboo stick on the ground, slapped and slapped his ears in lightning speed, and hit the Chengling Artifact directly on the shin bone, knocking him to the ground, and then the stick slammed it down. A silver arc slashed across the snow blade on the ground, and the blade was re-inserted into the spiritual weapon in an instant.

Cheng Lingqi was covered in cold sweat in an instant, touching Xie Lingzheng's sharp eyes, his thighs trembled for a while, and he was speechless.

But Xie Lingzheng didn't look at him, he just leaned on his staff and walked outside, step by step, turning to the northeast, the northeast corner of the heaven is the head of the three kings, the law-enforcing deity and the execution of the law.

He thought to himself: I want to find the Law Enforcer before Xianjun, how can I use my friend's death to block the crime?It's time to pay his life with my life.

Thinking like this, he tried his best to quicken his pace, but before he could go out, he bumped into a pretty girl, it was his third junior sister Mu Lingxi.

I saw Mu Lingxi with her hair in her hair, wearing a bright red dress, no makeup on her face, but she fainted a red cloud when she saw Xie Lingzheng. When she touched her vermilion lips, her voice was as clear as a silver bell shaking: "Eldest brother, master respects me!" I'm here to take you home!"

Xie Lingzheng didn't speak.

But Mu Lingxi didn't notice that something was wrong, and went to hold his right arm as usual: "I said that Master still loves you. Last time he was angry. Now it's not all right. The injuries on your hands and feet will take time , Master will always find a way to go for you, Xuexue Sword is the half body of his old man's immortal soul, there is no way for others, but he will always have a way."

Xie Lingzheng flicked his sleeves lightly, avoiding Mu Lingxi's touch, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mu Xianjian, please let me go, I'm going to the court."

Mu Lingxi opened her eyes wide, as if she didn't understand what he was talking about, she turned her gaze to Cheng Lingqi.

Cheng Lingqi sarcastically said: "Last night, the master personally came to the mud road, and advised our senior brother to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and killed the general Bohu to make atonement. However, the senior brother is arrogant and does not want to dirty these precious hands. I condescended to take care of this matter for him, and used his hands to kill this evil family, so that he could get rid of his guilt by doing meritorious service. But right now, our elder brother seems a little ignorant, probably trying to show off and violate the order of the master. "

Mu Lingxi blinked her eyes, and glanced into the inner room with her probe. When she touched the blood stains on the floor and Hu Er's half-human, half-animal body, she slightly curled her mouth: "No wonder the big brother hates it. What a mess, senior brother, the master has indulged you like this, are you still angry with him?"

The girl's voice was tender and sweet, but to Xie Lingzheng's ears, it was extremely absurd. There was a stabbing pain in his heart, his lips were glued together and he couldn't make a sound, so he had to use a bamboo stick to signal Mu Lingxi to get out of the way.

"Stop him!" Cheng Lingqi yelled, "Master has orders, the two of us have to take him back today no matter what, don't let him get away!"

Mu Lingxi subconsciously fluttered when she heard the words, and stood up in front of Xie Lingzheng like a swallow: "Senior brother, where are you going?"

Xie Lingzheng said: "I can't do the business of selling friends for glory. I'm going to meet the Law Enforcer, Lingxi. I beg you to remember the old friendship, so let's go."

"Kill a few treacherous and evil ghosts, what kind of traitors are asking for glory," Mu Lingxi looked embarrassed, "Senior Brother, Master has an order—"

Xie Lingzheng didn't wait for her to finish speaking, he stretched out his bamboo stick suddenly, and touched the door on her waist, while Mu Lingxi dodged to dodge, he waved his left hand and wanted to go out of the door, Mu Lingxi didn't hesitate, and immediately untied her waist With a long sword in the middle, he used the hilt to block the person across his body, Xie Lingzheng waved his bamboo stick away, the two of them passed more than ten moves in an instant, Mu Lingxi was amazed, worthy of being a big brother, even if he was seriously injured, this way The power of the left-handed sword remains the same as before.

"Senior brother, you have to fight. There will be plenty of opportunities after you go back." She smiled, "Why don't we accept it first..."

There was a flash of light and shadow in front of her eyes while she was speaking, followed by a sharp pain on her face, the bamboo stick took advantage of the momentum and slammed her left cheek heavily, and a bruise suddenly appeared on the girl's fair and clean face.

Xie Lingzheng shook her away with a stick, and strode away, at this moment, he heard a gust of wind behind him, Cheng Lingqi shouted: "Lingxi, attack his right leg!"

He subconsciously backhanded to parry, but unexpectedly, Mu Lingxi drew his sword and tapped his right foot, and at the same time, it turned into a spiritual weapon and rolled up his right wrist at the same time. His useless hands and feet were powerless to parry. With one blow of sword and one dust, his body softened under the severe pain, and he was dragged to the ground in a state of embarrassment.

"Lingxi!" Cheng Lingqi shouted, Mu Lingxi quickly took out the fairy lock from his bosom, covered Xie Lingzheng's body with his head in his pocket, the two rushed up and pressed his hands and feet, Cheng Lingqi took out a pair of Lock it again, and put it on Xie Lingzheng's neck like an animal.

"I think you are still running away. I don't know what is good or bad." He grabbed Xie Lingzheng's hair, wanting to see his expression, only to see that his face was pale, his lips were blood stained, and the pair of eyes that were as bright as peaches in the past were now Depression is like a dry field, with faint tears that are almost dry.

Xie Lingzheng let them play around like a puppet, there was nothing left in his dark eyes.

Nine layers of green clouds go up the Nixia Road, and you cross the sea of ​​clouds for hundreds of miles. The little emerald green in the snow waves is Yingtai Mountain.

Although Mount Yingtai is named after a mountain, the Immortal Gate of Yingtai was actually built on the side of the mountain with clouds as its foundation.The heavier the identity, the deeper the cloud and fog where Xiao Wuyin lives, and the Yuntai Hall where Xiao Wuyin lives is hidden in the deepest sea of ​​clouds. When summoning outsiders, he uses red thread paper lanterns as a guide, otherwise there will be no trace.Cheng Lingqi, Mu Lingxi and other disciples lived together in the large floating cloud top at the foot of the mountain, where food, clothing, daily life, morning classes and evening exercises were all carried out here. On weekdays, Xiao Wuyin lived in seclusion, and this group of disciples wanted to see their master. Nor is it easy.

Xie Lingzheng is naturally different from them, he is Xiao Wuyin's only direct disciple, Xiao Wuyin didn't like him to live with other people at the foot of the mountain, so he personally took him all over Yingtai Mountain, and found a wonderful scene at the source of the mountain spring, two jagged The sound of water is gurgling between the boulders, and the crevices are warm in winter and cool in summer. Therefore, a tree growing slantingly embraces red cherry blossoms and always blooms undefeated. Falling flowers are colorful in four seasons. Xie Lingzheng can't move when he sees it. He sent hundreds of skilled craftsmen to carve and build an elegant small building on the branches of this flower tree in a few days, with spring water within reach, and flower branches that can be touched by leaning over, so that his disciples can live happily.

Xie Lingzheng was naturally overjoyed at that time, but at this moment when he revisited the old place, the mood in his heart was quite different.

He felt tired, as if his heart was numb due to the pain, and he lost the ability to think and imagine, and could only experience the stagnation and sadness of throbbing.

Cheng Lingqi pushed him to get out of the carriage, together with Mu Lingxi, he untied the heavy shackles on him, carried him into the hut, found a random place and threw him on the spot like throwing a sack, and then said: "Master, soon Come on now, Junior Sister Lingxi, you and I will guard the door."

Mu Lingxi nodded, but she could not bear to look at Xie Lingzheng.

Cheng Lingqi snorted heavily: "Junior Sister, the wound on your face hasn't healed yet."

Mu Lingxi let out an "Ah", hurriedly took a photo at the stream, and when she looked up at Xie Lingzheng, there was a bit of aggrieved resentment in her eyes.

Xie Lingzheng didn't see it, he was thrown to the ground, he had no support for the moment, couldn't stand up, and was not embarrassed, he just supported the wall with one hand, moved to the window with difficulty little by little, and leaned against the window sill.

He wants to blow the air.

The red cherry blossoms are as gorgeous as red flames, and they are very fragrant. The smell is not pungent and fragrant, but slightly green and cold. It flows into the heart and spleen with the breeze, making people sober to the extreme, but giving birth to a bit of drunkenness .

Xie Lingzheng suddenly realized that he hadn't drank alcohol for a long time, and his throat was very dry and hoarse, so he said casually: "Junior Sister Lingxi, I bought two jars of wine under the red cherry tree, please help me get them."

Cheng Lingqi said coldly: "It's a shame that you still dare to order people around here. There are no servants of yours here."

But Mu Lingxi tugged at his sleeve: "It's good that senior brother is willing to stay here with peace of mind, other things are no big deal. Senior brother Cheng, you look at him, I'll fetch wine for senior brother."

"Thank you." Xie Lingzheng thanked softly, his gaze was vainly chasing the flowing water outside the window, but he couldn't help but think of the stick he slapped Lingxi's face the other day.

Mu Lingxi's ancestors belonged to a family of exorcising demons. Before the century-old war between immortals and ghosts, he walked in the world to eliminate the demons and ghosts that caused harm to the world. When ghosts gained power a hundred years ago, the Mu family was the first to be attacked. They took turns going in to kill and kidnap. At that time, Mrs. Mu was pregnant with Lingxi, the ghost Taoist priest broke into the tent and raped her, and planted a ghost in her belly. The sound came out of the mountain, the ghost Taoist priest was executed, and the immortals tried their best to save the Mu family. The last drop of blood was entrusted to Yingtai Xianmen, and the spiritual energy of Yingtai Mountain was used to cleanse Mu Lingxi's soul body. It took nearly a hundred years to consume the half body of the ghost. , complete the black birthmark on Lingxi's back.

Although Mu Lingxi was lucky enough to recover her life, she would turn pale every time she mentioned the birthmark on her back called "ghost belly". Therefore, even though she was pure-hearted, dexterous and kind, she would never show any mercy to this ghost .

Xie Lingzheng understands this truth, but since he pities her life experience, he also pities the pale and thin Bo Lingyu. When Mu Lingxi was rescued, Bo Lingyu was suffering from the snow cut. One day, one searched for a good medicine and there was no cure, and both sisters opened their eyes to see the light of the sky after their birthdays for a hundred years, so why did they have to separate one good and one evil, one respectful and one humble?

The way of heaven believes in self-denial and ritual abstinence, while the way of ghosts always upholds nature and is unrestrained. Therefore, there are many saints in the way of heaven and evil in the way of ghosts. , don’t ask where you came from, don’t ask where you’re going, if you talk happily over wine, at least at this moment, you can be regarded as congenial and connected with each other. .

He knew that he had a ghostly temper, so he didn't dare to say it in front of Xiao Wuyin, he had to do his best to displease the master, but he hoped that the master would take half a step out of the rules, so that he could go to his own world Leaning even a little bit, that's why he had the snow crane cloak that made him spend so much effort, and then the hangover kiss after the snowy night in Yaotai.

Thinking of this, Xie Lingzheng touched the corner of his lips blankly, only to feel that the cold touch that had lasted for many years had not dissipated, and he could still imagine that vigorous and cautious self, in the hall, in front of hundreds of immortals, putting himself together The overflowing thoughts were contained in a bamboo basket, and they were stuffed into Xiao Wuyin's arms.

"Brother, your wine is here."

Mu Lingxi's voice interrupted his thoughts, his body trembled, he suddenly fell from the light clouds, and fell heavily into the bone-chilling quagmire.
