Tune.Xiao Ming and Xuan Yue closed their doors and lived their little life sweetly and prosperously, not caring about the endless discussions and floods outside.

Xuanyue never spends his mind on other affairs except for swordsmanship and Taoist companions. In addition to his own status and deterrent power, few people will gossip directly in front of him without looking at him—as for having this ability However, under the suggestion of the head of Luoshuizong, they all kept silent about it.

Xuanyue was unaware of the bizarre rumors about "something about the peak lord and the Taoist couple" outside, but Xiao Ming, who had a delicate mind, knew it very well.It's just that his master was involved, so he didn't want to add much, so he could only ambiguously block all kinds of temptations like Tai Chi, without leaving the slightest evidence to prove it--it's really fortunate that Xiao Ming himself is thick-skinned and used to it. He can put on airs, tell a lie without blushing, without heartbeat, and does it easily.

The ethics guidelines in the cultivation world are very strict, among which the most important thing is not to harm the sect, and the disciples must be filial to the master.As long as the master doesn't do any evil things that are beyond conscience, the disciples have to follow suit, so even if Xiao Ming is overwhelmed by his master's bad taste, he has to obediently follow behind to make up for the aftermath. Master had fun and had fun.

Fortunately, Dao Yan was also well-measured. Except for the big fight when he met Xuan Yue at the beginning, he didn't cause any difficult situation to deal with. The reason why Xiao Ming was willing to help him cover his whereabouts wholeheartedly was because He did get great benefits from Dao Yan.

Dao Yan once collected all kinds of precious pills in the Lingxiao Palace. Xiao Ming had been jealous for a long time, but due to his shallow knowledge, he didn't dare to take them carelessly.Now that Dao Yan came, he naturally chose the pill that was most suitable for Xiao Ming, which made his face radiant and full of vitality. After a while, he couldn't restrain the surging spiritual power in his body.

This retreat is not the ten-and-a-half-month retreat of the past, so it is natural to be well-prepared.Xiao Ming and Xuan Yue experienced fish for the first time.water.Of.When I was happy, I was a little entangled for a while.Reluctantly.It's a pity that Xiao Ming's barrier is crumbling, and he can't delay it for a moment. No matter how lonely Xuan Yue is, he doesn't want to hinder the entry of his family's Taoist companions. He can only comfort himself that the temporary separation is for a longer time together.

After exhorting his Taoist companion and master thousands of times, Xiao Ming finally closed the Changguan with a heart full of ups and downs, and everyone in the Luoshui Sect suddenly discovered that this time the peak master and his Taoist companion The sudden increase in the duration of the cold war made everyone who had calmly faced the separation and reunion of the two feel uneasy again.

Xuan Yue: Seeing the annoying ghosts walking around in front of him with the face of his Taoist companion all day long, I feel upset.

Dao Yan: With the status of a cultivator of the Death Sword, seeing so many beauties in the Luoshui Sect but not being able to flirt with them, there is nothing to fall in love with.

Xiao Ming: Worried that the Taoist couple and the master will have trouble with the master outside, and I can't feel at ease even in retreat. I am so tired.

Although extremely tired, Xiao Ming still overcame all difficulties and successfully advanced to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.And when he pushed open the door of the retreat room, but didn't see the Xuan Yue who was supposed to be guarding outside, he felt a "thump" in his heart, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

Seeing that the door of the retreat room was opened, the disciples of the Luoshui Sect who were guarding outside immediately greeted them. Hearing Xiao Ming's first sentence was to ask "Where is Xuan Yue?" Awkward?"

"Huh?...huh." Xiao Ming forcibly suppressed the reflexively raised tone, and wiped the farts for his master familiarly."It's my fault this time, where is Xuan Yue? I'll go look for him."

"A few days ago, there was a message for you, but you are at the critical moment of retreat, so the peak master opened it for you and went to deal with it." Luoshuizong disciple replied with a smile, trying to speak well to his peak master, "Although the peak master has always been cold and not good at speaking, he really cares about you. A few days ago, he sent a message to ask about your retreat."

"Of course I know what he's thinking." Xiao Ming's eyes softened, and he nodded with a smile, "Can I have a look at those summons?"

"It's natural." Luoshuizong disciples repeatedly agreed, asking Xiao Ming to wait for a while, then turned around and fetched two summoning talismans, one was disassembled by Xuan Yue, and the other came from Xuan Yue.

After thanking him, Xiao Ming returned to his and Xuan Yue's courtyard with the messenger talisman, but when he checked the information in the talisman, the good mood he had just left immediately dissipated.

The communication talisman given to him at the beginning came from the Tianxuan Sect.Several teams of disciples from the Tianxuan Sect who went out to practice disappeared inexplicably, and several Jindan elders sent to investigate the news also disappeared.The head of the Tianxuan Sect didn't know how to deal with it, so he sent a message to Xiao Ming. First, Xiao Ming, as an elder of the Tianxuan Sect and a Nascent Soul cultivator, should be involved in this matter. Second, he also wanted to use this to ask Luoshuizong for help. , go through the back door, after all, from Xiao Ming's mouth, Luo Shuizong's reaction will inevitably be more cautious and quick.

The head of the Tianxuan Sect said it euphemistically—or thought he was euphemistic, but Xiao Ming, who was good at extracting cocoons, saw the meaning at a glance.However, he didn't feel displeased, so he changed hands and removed Xuan Yue's summons.

Compared with the polite and respectful head of the Tianxuan Sect, Xuanyue's message was much more concise.He first mentioned that he detected the residual demon energy at the incident site, which should be the work of the demon cultivator, then changed the subject, asked him about the situation of his retreat, and said that he would deal with the matter of the Tianxuan sect so that he would not have to deal with it. Don't worry, just practice in Luoshuizong with peace of mind.

Now that Xuan Yue came forward, the matter had some clues, and Xiao Ming was not too worried.He first sent a message back to Xuanyue, saying that he had already left the customs and everything was going well, and then he told the general affairs elders from Jianming Peak to come and deal with the affairs accumulated after Xuanyue left the sect.

Although he hadn't touched these things for some time, Xiao Ming had been doing it for nearly a hundred years anyway, and he immediately became familiar with the way after a short while, which was more methodical than being driven away to put on the black axe.

Regarding this, the general affairs elder who was in charge of assisting Xuanyue in handling the affairs of the peak burst into tears with excitement——Xuanyue's methods have always been simple and crude, straightforward, and offended many people. They urgently need someone like Xiao Ming in Jianming Peak. Such a tactful, thoughtful, and gentle helm!

"May I ask Zhenjun to take a look at the affairs in the peak in the future?" After sorting out the matters according to the priority, the general affairs elder looked at Xiao Ming expectantly, and asked cautiously.

Xiao Ming smiled: "It doesn't matter to me here, but the specific situation depends on Xuan Yue's wishes."

The general affairs elder suddenly lost face, and heaved a long sigh—in fact, as early as when Xiao Ming returned to Luoshui Sect, he had made this proposal, but his own peak master rejected it straight away.

Peak Lord!You are not suitable for dealing with these trivial and complicated interpersonal relationships. Why insist on your own opinion and harm yourself and others? !

While secretly thinking about how to persuade him again, the general affairs elder thanked Xiao Ming and retreated.Xiao Ming knocked on the table, hesitated for a moment, still told the Luoshui Sect disciples that he was going out for a while, and then set off for the Tianxuan Sect.

It's not that Xiao Ming doesn't trust Xuanyue, it's just that the Tianxuan Sect's affairs are related to him after all, so it's not good to push all of them to Xuanyue.Even though he and Xuan Yue are one body, Xiao Ming's pride will never allow him to hide behind his Taoist companion and ignore everything.

——Furthermore, Xiao Ming really... misses Xuan Yue a lot.

On the one hand, he was thinking about the matter of the Profound Sky Sect, and on the other, he was thinking about his Taoist companion whom he had not seen for a long time. Xiao Ming had just rushed to the Profound Sky Sect, and saw the figure he had been thinking about at the mountain gate.

Surprised and joyful at the same time, Xiao Ming quickly walked a few steps and came to Xuan Yue, before he could speak, he was embraced by the other party.

After exchanging an intimate kiss, Xiao Ming smiled and let Xuan Yue hold his pulse door and send it into the spiritual power to investigate.

"It's full of spiritual power and solid foundation, not bad." Xuan Yue's expression became softer, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "Congratulations."

"It should be so." Xiao Ming was not modest, and replied with a smile, and then asked, "Why are you here? What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for you." Xuanyue had three parts of helplessness for being disobedient to Xiao Ming, but also three parts of pride that he knew Xiao Ming deeply, "I knew it, even if I let you stay in Luoshuizong, I will not let this matter go away. Leave it to me to handle it completely, and you won't listen."

"So, you've been waiting here since you received the message?" Xiao Ming laughed, his heart was so soft that he raised his hand to touch Xuan Yue's eyes that were staring at him intently.

"En." Xuan Yue pinched Xiao Ming's hand, put it to his lips and kissed his fingertips lightly, "I want to see you sooner."

"Me too." Xiao Ming pursed his lips and smiled lightly, "I came this time because of the matters of the Tianxuan Sect, and because I wanted to see you sooner."

The two whispered and spoke love words bluntly, and they both had some affection for each other.It's a pity that this is not the time to talk to each other and win the newlywed after a long absence, so I can only look at each other regretfully, take a step back, and suppress the throbbing in my heart.

Passing through the Tianxuan Sect's mountain gate hand in hand, and skimming the climbing stairs, Xiao Ming and Xuan Yue soon appeared in front of the Tianxuan Sect's head and elders waiting at the entrance of the main hall, and greeted each other.

Everyone in the Tianxuan Sect was preoccupied, and after seeing Xiao Ming, they didn't have the heart to greet them, so they hurriedly invited the two into the main hall, and after they were seated, they began to talk about the specific situation.

Xuan Yue had already heard about what happened, so he didn't bother to listen to it at this time. He just lowered his head and played with Xiao Ming's right hand which was placed in his palm under the cover of his wide sleeves; I was too lazy to care too much, and listened intently to the head of the Tianxuan Sect, and raised my own questions: "So, are the missing disciples and elders in danger of their lives? How about the life lamp?"

"I don't know the situation of the disciples of the outer sect and inner sect who have not lit their life lamps, but the life lamps of the direct disciples and elders are still burning." The head of the Tianxuan Sect spoke slightly—this is the only thing to be thankful for now, "It's just that a few life lights are dimmed. They should be seriously injured. Fortunately, there is no danger of life for the time being."

Xiao Ming nodded lightly, and subconsciously frowned: "Xuan Yue checked the place where the accident happened, and found that there was a demonic energy that had not completely dissipated during the period, eight out of ten. Nine times it should be the work of the demon cultivator."

"Moxiu!" Elder Liu thumped the armrest of the seat angrily, "It really is these damned Moxiu who are doing evil!"

——His beloved granddaughter was also missing at this time. Elder Liu seemed to have aged a few years in just a few days, and he couldn't hide the eagerness and anxiety in his brows.

"It shouldn't be as simple as the evil cultivator doing evil." Xiao Ming shook his head, and looked at the head of the Tianxuan Sect, "Aside from the Tianxuan Sect, is there a similar situation in other sects?"

The head of the Tianxuan Sect closed his eyes - this was also the question he was most worried about: "Not at all."

"So, the target of the other party is only the Tianxuan Sect." Xiao Ming pondered, "To be able to arrest so many disciples and even elders so easily and quietly without harming their lives, that person's cultivation should not be low .”

"But our Tianxuan Sect has always kept our own place, how could we provoke such a powerful opponent?" The head of the Tianxuan Sect sighed.

The Tianxuan Sect has always kept a low profile, and it was only because of Xiao Ming's relationship that they gained a lot of limelight.After boarding the big boat of Luoshui Sect, the status of Tianxuan Sect has also risen accordingly. A few days ago, when they opened the mountain to recruit disciples, they also received a few good seedlings with double spiritual roots and single spiritual roots—originally such children would He was snatched away by a sect with a higher status, but now that Luoshui Sect has such a big backer, naturally there will be no sect that doesn't have a good eye for it.

"Is it... Is it because the development of the Tianxuan Sect has attracted the attention of others? The devilish energy has been left behind, but it is not necessarily the work of the Demon Cultivator, maybe it is for the purpose of framing the blame?" Zuo Siyou, the head of the Tianxuan Sect He couldn't imagine how his sect provoked such a powerful demon cultivator, and he was more inclined to squeeze the interests of the sects.

Hearing the inquiry from the head of the Tianxuan Sect, Xuan Yue finally raised his head, showing a slight displeasure: "The demon energy left behind is quite pure and powerful, it must be the work of the demon cultivator, not Taoist cultivator."

With Xuan Yue's categorical rebuttal, the head of the Tianxuan Sect naturally didn't dare to argue: "But...but if it's a demon cultivator, we'll have no clue."

"Didn't the disciples and elders in the sect become enemies with Moxiu?" Xiao Ming asked.

"I've asked, but no one has any impression." The leader shook his head and said distressedly.

"If that's the case... I have a guess." Xiao Ming pursed his lips, his expression slightly hesitant, "I'm about [-]% sure that this incident is aimed at me."

Before Xiao Ming finished speaking, Xuan Yue suddenly turned his head to look at him, and the aura around him suddenly became cold, with a faint killing intent.

During this period of time, although Xuanyue did not slack off, he did not really take matters of the Tianxuan faction to heart either. He only helped Xiao Ming for Xiao Ming's sake, and he didn't care much about success or failure; but if the other party's goal is Xiao Ming, when it comes to Xiao Ming's safety, the meaning to Xuan Yue is completely different.

Gently patted Xuanyue's hand, signaling him to calm down, Xiao Ming slowly expressed his thoughts: "Since the Tianxuan faction itself did not have any enmity with Moxiu, then Moxiu should take away the people of Tianxuan faction. It is using this as bait to catch someone out. The demon has a high level of cultivation, if the target is in the Tianxuan Sect, you can use the enemy's darkness to get in directly, or capture people related to that person Threats, no need to go to such lengths - and if the target is me, it's different."

After a pause, Xiao Ming sighed: "I have been staying in Luoshuizong, even if the Demon Lord came personally, it is impossible to go in and out of Luoshuizong unscathed, so the other party needs to let me leave Luoshuizong by myself. I only have one Disciple, but disappeared as early as when he was in the Yaozu, and Taoist couple Xuanyue is something most people dare not mess with, so it is logical to focus on the Tianxuan faction—after all, the disciples and elders of the Tianxuan faction disappeared one after another. Yu Li, I have to come forward to solve it."

The head of Tianxuan Sect was a little dazed: "What about the remaining [-]% possibility?"

"[-]% may be due to other reasons that I didn't think of, and the other [-]%..." Xiao Ming hesitated for a moment, then looked sideways at Xuanyue, "It may be because of Xuanyue."

Xuan Yue's expression remained motionless, his reaction was flat, completely without the anger and worry that Xiao Ming had when he pointed to himself just now.

"Xuanyue's situation is similar to mine. He has been staying in Luoshuizong and needs to be lured out to solve the problem. Besides, he is my Taoist companion. If I can't solve the matter of the Tianxuan sect, he will naturally help me. It can be regarded as having an indirect relationship with the Tianxuan Sect." Xiao Ming said so, but changed the subject again and vetoed, "But this time, I didn't take the lead because of retreat, Xuanyue left the sect first, but until I didn’t receive any lure messages even after I exited customs, so it’s unlikely that the target is him, and it should be aimed at me.”

The head of the Tianxuan Sect sighed for a long time, temporarily accepting this statement: "Then, have you ever had conflicts with any demon cultivators?"

"Recently, no. Even in the past hundred years, I have rarely interacted with demon cultivators." Xiao Ming smiled wryly and shook his head, "But... I may have guessed who the person who wanted to attack me was."

"Who?!" Although he didn't quite understand why Xiao Ming didn't meet Moxiu, yet he was able to guess the target, the elders of the Tianxuan Sect didn't think too much about it, they just kept asking.

"If I'm not wrong..." Xiao Ming pursed his lips, somewhat puzzled, "It should be Mozun Leqing."

The main hall of Tianxuan Sect was silent, both the sect master and the elders were shocked by Xiao Ming's guess, their minds went blank, and they were all dumbfounded.

Demon Lord, that is Demon Lord!Where have they come into contact with such high-end figures? !It is in people.During the battle between demons, they managed to take a glance from a distance, and didn't even see what the other party looked like, but now they turned out to be their enemies—everyone felt their eyes go dark.

Compared with the desperate Tianxuan Sect members, Xiao Ming and Xuan Yue were much calmer.Xuan Yue has always been the favored son of heaven, and he thinks that he is absolutely not inferior to the demon king, while Xiao Ming has even tricked the demon king, with excellent psychological quality, he will not be chaotic in times of crisis.

"I have never had a feud with the Demon Lord. I only met once after the Yaozu invasion ended, but I can feel that he has malice towards me—or it can't be called pure malice. , but inexplicably...obsessed." Xiao Ming smiled wryly, "I didn't think much about it at the time because I couldn't figure it out, but what happened in the Xuan School today, I think it should have something to do with the Demon Lord." After a pause , he looked at the head of the Tianxuan Sect apologetically, "Sorry, it seems that I have caused trouble for the sect."

"It's not your fault." Xuan Yue frowned, wrapping his arms around Xiao Ming's shoulders.He didn't like to see Xiao Ming's self-blaming and apologetic appearance, so he unceremoniously blamed himself, "I have more contact with that joy, and I hate each other, it should be because of me that I implicated you .”

Xiao Ming and Xuanyue competed to take the blame, and their attitudes were excellent. Even if everyone in the Tianxuan Sect was troubled by this innocent disaster, they did not dare to show it—after all, the lives of the missing disciples and elders must be preserved. On these two people.

"If it really is the Demon Lord, what should we do?" After a long time, the head of the Tianxuan Sect asked in a trembling voice, "Should we inform all the sects to unite against the Demon Realm?"

"Even if you notify, it's useless." Xiao Ming shook his head, "The monster clan invasion has just ended. Although it didn't take long, all factions have lost a lot of manpower and their vitality. It's time to recuperate. If it wasn't for the threat Presumably, he would not be willing to intervene in matters concerning the survival of his own sect. Moreover, the other party's actions this time were quite measured, and did not involve other sects, causing public anger, and no one from the Tianxuan Sect was killed. Even if the other sects were informed, it would probably be considered Personal grievances, big things are turned into small ones."

The head of the Profound Sky Sect knew that what Xiao Ming said was true, but with only one Profound Profound Sect, it would be like hitting a stone with a pebble and using a man's arm as a cart against the Demon Lord: "So what?"

"Wait." Xiao Ming closed his eyes slightly, and said a word lightly, "Since the other party has caught the bait, let's wait for him to release the bait, and then see what he wants to do."

Xiao Ming made a decision, Xuan Yue naturally said nothing, no matter how disturbed the Tianxuan Sect people were, they had to hold back and wait for the day when the verdict will be pronounced.

——They didn't wait too long. On the second day, an exquisite invitation was delivered to Xiao Ming.

The invitations are written in small script with hairpin flowers, which are beautiful and neat, and the words are extremely warm.Ambiguous, as if the old lover who hadn't seen him for a long time, because he missed him too much, fell in love, and finally couldn't bear it and sent an invitation to meet again.

Rather than an invitation, it is more like a love letter wrapped around it.The soft rhetoric combined with the extravagant and sweet aroma makes it more provocative.people.

Ignoring those miscellaneous hints, the only useful information is the time and place of the meeting. Xiao Ming's eyes fell on the final signature, and he was startled suddenly, his usual calm expression suddenly shattered.

The name of the inviter was not written in the place where the signature was signed, but a very expressive Guqin was drawn with a few strokes, and two characters - old friend - fell below it.

The fragments that had been hazy but could not grasp the clue suddenly integrated into a whole, which made Xiao Ming even more uneasy when he suddenly realized.

Leqing, guqin, -- Yueqing.

Thinking of the death that he stabbed so coldly that he should have died but disappeared without a trace.Xiao Ming's whole body collapsed due to his mental illness.

--Change.In a world of abnormality, as a normal person, he can't hold it at all! QQ
