I plant love Gu for Xianjun

The light of the torch has gone away, and the glow of the cold moon has gradually disappeared.When his body was completely surrounded by mist and darkness, Lian Zhu Xian began to summon Feng Que Sword.

The divine soldier who had already recognized him as the second master quickly obeyed his orders and slowly supported him.Of course, Lian Zhu Xian also tightly held Feng Zhangjun in his arms.

Not long ago, Yun Cang, who had violently leveled the top of a mountain, seemed to have exhausted all his strength and fell into a semi-comatose state.

Lian Zhuxian sniffed his breath, touched his heart, and made sure everything was normal, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

After a little relaxation, Lian Zhu Xian immediately felt the pain coming from his right shoulder—during the hasty escape, the wound on his shoulder had been torn for the second time, and the whole sleeve was stained red with blood.

Although he was far from escaping to a safe zone, Lian Zhu Xian didn't dare to take the risk to continue forward, he was afraid that if his blood-soaked hands slipped at some point, he would not be able to grasp Feng Zhangjun in his arms, and instead Left at the bottom of the cliff valley hundreds of feet below, his body was smashed to pieces.

After a short consideration, he urged the Phoenix Sword to land in a dense forest halfway up the mountain.

There are few people here, and the vegetation is dense enough that it should be difficult to notice for a while.However, Feng Zhangjun is in a coma and cannot hide his disordered aura. He must be awakened as soon as possible and transferred in time, otherwise his whereabouts will be exposed sooner or later.

Even though the plan was like this, Lian Zhu Xian's first thought when his feet hit the ground was "What the hell, I really don't want to go anymore".

It was no wonder—at this moment, his entire right sleeve was dripping with blood.The loss of so much blood left him tired and cold.If possible, he just wanted to collapse on the ground immediately, close his eyes and fall into a coma.

But, no.

After a moment of confusion, Lian Zhu Xian suddenly widened his eyes, clenched his teeth, and dragged Feng Zhangjun with one hand, dragging him into the bushes bit by bit.

"Fengzhang-jun, Fengzhang-jun... Xiaohua, Xiaohua..."

I don't know how many times he called, Feng Zhangjun's eyelids finally moved, as if he was about to wake up.Lian Zhuxian was overjoyed, and was about to make persistent efforts, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of some faint lights in the distant valley from the corner of his vision.

It's Feijian, the pursuers sent by Yuncang are here!

Lian Zhuxian fell silent for a moment, and continued to exert all his strength, dragging Feng Zhangjun to crawl deeper into the woods.

Fortunately, there is an unremarkable earth cave hidden in the depths of the mountain forest. Although it can barely accommodate two people, it is already an extremely rare hiding place.

When Lian Zhuxian tried his best to drag Fengzhangjun into the earth cave, Fengzhangjun had managed to recover a little bit of consciousness, muttering as if he wanted to say something.

"Shh, don't talk yet."

Lian Zhuxian stroked Feng Zhangjun's forehead, then took out all the bamboo tubes from his arms, and released all kinds of pets.

I don't know what method he used to give the order, and all the snakes and insects scattered away in an instant, leaving only a dozen spiders of different sizes, and began to spin their webs at the entrance of the cave.

In a short while, a fine gray spider web is done.Lian Zhu Xian dipped in his blood and drew a complex magic circle on the Internet, temporarily covering up Feng Zhangjun's disordered aura.

"Ah..." Feng Zhangjun finally made a sound, and stretched out his hand to grab Lian Zhu Xian's sleeve: "You..."

Lian Zhuxian immediately hid his injured right arm in a dark place.

"I'm fine." He turned his attention to Feng Zhangjun, "How do you feel?"

"...I feel very messy." Feng Zhangjun tried to sit up, only to find that the surrounding area was extremely narrow, "What kind of place is this?"

"The earth cave may be a tomb that has been removed. We are still in Yuncang Mountain."

Lian Zhu Xian didn't intend to explain too much, he was more concerned about what to do with the next two people: "Try to adjust your breath, stabilize your mind, and see if you can restrain your breath. Otherwise, as long as you leave this cave, we will soon will be discovered."

Feng Zhangjun nodded, and immediately adjusted his sitting posture with the help of Lian Zhuxian.And he soon smelled a strong smell of blood, and touched Lian Zhu Xian's drenched sleeve.

"Your hand?!" He gasped.

"Don't let your emotions affect you!" Lian Zhuxian pressed his shoulders and said sharply, "I have a strong recovery ability, so this little injury is nothing. But if you don't calm down, it will be very difficult for us to get out!"

In the dimness, he saw Feng Zhangjun slowly closing his golden eyes, followed by the sound of breathing.

Breath adjustment was indeed effective, and Lian Zhu Xian immediately felt that Feng Zhangjun's disordered breath began to converge and weakened rapidly.

At the same time, the pets he sent out returned one after another, but they brought bad news one after another——

Everyone in Yuncang is searching the vicinity, it is hard to tell whether they are looking for the monster that slipped through the net, or looking for the "besotted" Feng Zhangjun.

Lian Zhu Xian didn't tell Feng Zhangjun about the outside situation, he just analyzed whether there was a possibility of escape by himself.

But I have to admit, it's hard.

Just when he felt helpless, Feng Zhangjun let out a long breath slowly and ended his breath adjustment.

"Master's seal has completely failed... I can only control it to this extent by myself."

Feng Zhangjun's voice was heavy, but in a dim environment, at least Lian Zhu Xian could no longer see the light from his golden eyes.And the original strong aura has almost completely subsided, leaving only wisps still lingering in the cave.

"That's enough, you've done a good job." Lian Zhu Xian applauded half-comfortingly, "Next, we must find a chance to leave here."

"Leave it to me." Feng Zhangjun said in a deep voice, "As long as I can fly to the sky with my sword, I guarantee that no one will be able to catch up with us."

After finishing speaking, he touched Lian Zhu Xian's cheek and kissed him: "You have worked hard, let me take over."

"..." Lian Zhuxian hesitated to speak, when the last little snake guarded outside the cave also swam in, but it brought even worse news.

"We can't go out for the time being." Lian Zhu Xian said softly, "There is a team of Yuncang near the entrance of the cave at the moment. We continue to hide, they may not find this place. But if they venture out, they may encounter it head-on."

Saying that, Lian Zhuxian pushed Feng Zhangjun to shrink back into the depths of the cave.

Sure enough, a moment later, there was a sound of footsteps in the woods outside the cave, and it sounded like at least ten people.The red light of the torches quickly shone over, but judging from the intensity of the light, there were still a small number of people who were really willing to leave the main road and go deep into the dense forest.

"Senior brother, there seems to be a hole in the ground over there?" Vaguely, it seemed that someone said so.

"Ah, there, people used to bury the dead." Another voice seemed to have glanced here, "In the past, it was popular to pick up bones for burial in the vicinity, and the coffin had to be opened for ten years. If the corpse doesn't rot, Even if it is burned, it must be burned."

"I didn't ask these... Do you think people will hide in caves?"

"Are you stupid? The entrance of the cave is sealed by spider webs. Think about it, how can people run in?"

"Oh……"

While talking, footsteps sounded again, this time it seemed to be drifting away.

Lian Zhuxian was secretly happy, but still suppressed his emotions until the light of the torch disappeared and the sound of footsteps completely disappeared.

"They're gone." Feng Zhangjun said, "Let's go out."

"hold on."

Lian Zhuxian signaled him to be calm and calm, and let the little snake out again.

This time the little snake swam back quickly, raised its head and hissed at Lian Zhuxian.

Lian Zhuxian's face changed drastically: "...there are still people outside!"

Feng Zhangjun quickly pulled Lian Zhu Xian behind him, and at the same time urged Feng Que sword.

As if sensing the murderous aura coming from the cave, the people outside the cave opened their mouths unhurriedly: "You two, be safe and don't be impatient. I'm here to help."

-

The disciple Yuncang who was in charge of searching the mountain gradually went away. When the mountain was so quiet that even the echo could not be heard, Lian Zhuxian and Feng Zhangjun left the cave.

"It's quite a spectacle to be able to see the head of Yuncang and the protector of the Five Immortals coming out of the earth cave." The person standing at the entrance of the cave said so.

"……It's you?"

Lian Zhuxian and Feng Zhangjun saw this person clearly at the same time, and at the same time showed surprised expressions.

I saw that the visitor was thin and thin, but he was wearing an elegant embroidered green robe—it was the envoy of Huajiantang who participated in the Dongxianyuan Conference.

Seeing the suspicious and confused faces of the two, the man emphasized again: "I definitely don't want to fight against you, let alone harbor evil intentions. I just came to help you as entrusted by others."

"Who is it?" Lian Zhu Xian asked, "Why should we trust you?"

"With this." The man immediately reached into his arms and took out a silver mask.

Feng Zhangjun's expression changed drastically, while Lian Zhuxian had already stepped forward and asked for him, "Where is the mask owner?"

The man looked around and shook his head: "It's not convenient to talk here, I know there is a place where you can talk about things with peace of mind, please come with me."

-

The place where Huajiantang's envoy said "you can talk about things with peace of mind" is in the small town at the foot of Yuncang Mountain.Due to the need for exchanges, many sects in the Central Plains have set up residence halls in the city, and Huajiantang is naturally no exception.

Taking advantage of the still light, the three of them walked through the secluded alleys and jumped over the wall near the back door into the backyard of the guild hall.

It is worthy of being a wealthy Huajiantang. Although it is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the backyard still has the style of a water village garden. Looking at the mountains and stone households, it seems that they were all transported from the south.

The messenger led the two into a secluded courtyard deep in the shade of crape myrtle flowers, locked the door and opened the barrier, and waited carefully for a while, making sure that no one was following and watching, before turning to look at Lian Zhuxian and Feng Zhangjun.

"Please allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Zhao Xiangchuan, and I am the special envoy of the main hall of Huajiantang. Before that, I was the regular attendant of the hall master Li Ruhai."

"I know who you are." Feng Zhangjun nodded, but he was not in a hurry to talk to him. Instead, he pressed Lian Zhuxian on the chair, "Your injury is a bit serious. Treat the wound first, and then talk about other things."

The only way to practice Zhu Xian is to be obedient.

Zhao Xiangchuan immediately brought Huajiantang's medicine box and two sets of replacement clothes.But Feng Zhangjun refused to let him handle it, and personally tore off Lian Zhuxian's blood-soaked sleeve, washed the blood and sand from the wound with high-concentration spirits, applied gold sore medicine, and then carefully bandaged it.

"I'm a little sleepy." Lian Zhu Xian asked after the bandage, "Can you change the place, I want to rest for a while... just a little while."

So the three of them moved from the main hall to the inner room.Lian Zhuxian was leaning on the bed, Feng Zhangjun was by his side, and Zhao Xiangchuan was sitting at the tea table opposite them.

Gently holding Lian Zhu Xian's right hand to sense changes in body temperature at any time, Feng Zhangjun finally looked at Zhao Xiangchuan.

"So, how on earth did you get this mask?"

"It was handed over to me by the owner of the mask." Zhao Xiangchuan replied, "He said that if something goes wrong, this mask will be the most effective thing to prove my identity to you."

"Extraordinary problems?" Feng Zhangjun noticed the word, "So, the current development is not planned in advance?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure." Zhao Xiangchuan replied mysteriously: "But from my personal point of view, the plan has indeed been seriously disrupted."

Feng Zhangjun asked: "Then what is your plan? Could the Huajiantang fire be related to you?"

"It has nothing to do with me." Zhao Xiangchuan shook his head: "My plan failed from the very beginning, so I followed the second plan he left me, and came to Yuncang to wait to hand over the mask to you."

"Failed at the beginning? What's going on?"

"Do you still remember Zuo Yanye?" Zhao Xiangchuan suddenly mentioned the criminal disciple of Dongxianyuan: "Originally he had another important task, which was to gather up the corpse in the underground secret room of Xixianyuan and hand it over to me. In his hands. But he failed to do it, and the body was taken by someone else before he recovered it, so my plan was forced to run aground from the beginning."

Someone stole Ye Hao's body first?

The possibility that had been discussed privately with Lian Zhu Xian became a reality.Feng Zhangjun was only slightly taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized something.

"So, what were you going to do with that corpse?"

Suddenly being asked the most critical question, Zhao Xiangchuan took a silent breath, which immediately turned into a dignified sigh.

"I, I wanted to use it to kill an enemy."

"Who?"

"Li Ruhai."

"The Hall Master of Huajian Hall?" How could Feng Zhangjun not know this name, "But why? He is not only the Hall Master of Huajian Hall, but also your benefactor, isn't he?"

Zhao Xiangchuan laughed out loud because of the word "mentor": "Teacher, he is also the one who preaches and solves doubts. Li Ruhai may indeed have taught us a lot of lessons, but if we talk about preaching and solving doubts... I am afraid it is the opposite."

"The word you used was 'we'."

Feng Zhangjun grasped another key word: "So, who else is involved in this matter?"

Zhao Xiangchuan lowered his eyes, showing an expression of nostalgia or sadness: "Since Feng Zhangjun knows me, he must have heard of Du Linghe."

Feng Zhangjun nodded: "Yes. He was Li Ruhai's disciple just like you, and he also served as the head's regular attendant. But I heard that he became a traitor later, fell off a cliff and died."

"No." Zhao Xiangchuan shook his head, while slowly raising his right hand: "Linghe is not a traitor, and... he was killed by my own hands."

To be honest, Feng Zhangjun is not surprised by this - as the leader of various factions in the Central Plains, Yun Cang also received a private report about that incident back then.The report pointed out that although Zhao Xiangchuan and Du Linghe were from the same family, they had always been at odds, and they did not rule out that Du Linghe's death was caused by Zhao Xiangchuan.

Now, this conjecture has been confirmed, but the truth is clearly hidden.

I only heard Zhao Xiangchuan continue to say: "I was born in the same village as Du Linghe. His surname is Zhao, and my surname is Du. When we escaped from the village, we exchanged each other's surnames and were ready to live for each other at any time. Because we It is agreed that whoever dies first will become the other party's ration."

It was the longest winter ever.

The two countries are fighting each other, and blood is flowing.Walking corpses wander around, endless ghosts.The once remote and peaceful small village was full of corpses overnight, except for the remaining two playful children who returned home late, survived by luck, but lost everything.

Zhao Xiangchuan couldn't remember exactly how he and Du Linghe survived that cold and desolate winter.He only remembered that when they were hungry and cold, they vaguely made an agreement to exchange names, let the other party eat their own flesh and blood once they died, and try to survive no matter what.

Later, although they exchanged names, they miraculously survived the winter together.When spring came, they traveled long distances and came to the prosperous Jiangnan, where they worshiped Huajian Hall together.

"Linghe said that they are all children who have lost their families anyway, and their surnames don't seem to matter. But I think that after exchanging surnames, we have a more unbreakable bond. All in all, this surname has never been changed back. .”

There was a flash of warmth on Zhao Xiangchuan's face.

"In a sense, we should be regarded as each other's family members. For a long time after we started, we also relied on and supported each other. Even real brothers are not as tacitly united as we are."

Speaking of this, his face suddenly became gloomy again: "...But, all this changed after Linghe joined Li Ruhai's sect."

The year Zhao Xiangchuan and Du Linghe started, Li Ruhai had not ascended the throne of the Hall Master of Huajian Hall.However, he is already the second in command in Huajian Hall, and his status is similar to today's Feng Zhangjun.

Huajiantang holds an apprenticeship ceremony every spring, and a high-ranking dignitary like Li Ruhai only accepts apprentices every five to ten years.It is precisely because of this that one must pass a series of extremely strict examinations if one wants to become a disciple of Li Ruhai.

As a leader among ordinary disciples, Du Linghe stood out as expected and became Li Ruhai's disciple.However, Zhao Xiangchuan temporarily changed his mind and joined another important person in Huajiantang.

"At that time Linghe thought I broke the appointment and was very angry. But he didn't know that it was Li Ruhai who talked to me in private and instructed me to do this."

Zhao Xiangchuan's expression slowly darkened.

"I have been under that person's door for a full ten years, but secretly became Li Ruhai's most powerful eyeliner. He instructed me to come forward and expose that person's secret learning of forbidden techniques, and gained a key bargaining chip for Li Ruhai in the power struggle.

"Ten years later, Li Ruhai became the head of Huajian Hall as he wished, and I returned to his name. In the eyes of others, Li Ruhai only took me in because of 'cherishing talents'. But I have become a lot of people. In the eyes of people, it is a grassroots of 'seeing the wind and making the rudder'."

Having said that, he paused heavily.

"I don't care what others think of me. But Linghe has a straightforward and simple heart, and he thinks that I did something wrong, and I am concerned about Li Ruhai's power, but I can't even explain it properly."

After that, Zhao Xiangchuan and Du Linghe became Li Ruhai's most capable disciples.Zhao Xiangchuan is calm and wise, Du Linghe is cheerful and upright.The two people's personalities and abilities complement each other, but they also complement each other.

But the real tragedy was just beginning.

Other sects pay attention to harmony and friendliness internally, and they are most afraid of brothers fighting against each other and fighting in the same room.However, Li Ruhai didn't think so - after he became the head of the sect, he not only provoked the relationship between the various branch halls, but also separated all the important officials in the hall, and even his own disciples.Under his instigation, the relationship between Du Linghe and Zhao Xiangchuan began to drift away, as if they were involved in business.

"Li Ruhai is afraid that others will seek power and position."

Feng Zhangjun saw clearly: "In the past, in order to consolidate the regime, the emperor would often do such things as killing a rabbit to the death and killing three scholars with two peaches. It's just that, for the mere position of the head of Huajiantang, why do this? That's it. Internal friction is not a long-term solution after all.”

"That's why Huajiantang keeps opening branches in various places." Zhao Xiangchuan said, "People with discerning eyes long to leave the Jiangnan main hall and avoid being harmed. The rest are those who have little ability but are submissive It’s also quite usable.”

Feng Zhangjun asked again: "The group of people who occupied Biyunju were also driven out by Li Ruhai?"

"No."

There was a hint of sharpness in Zhao Xiangchuan's dull eyes: "That's exactly what I'm going to say next."
