The villain's junior brother turned out to have a crush on me

Three days later, the Taixuan Secret Realm was officially opened.

Because dangers and opportunities coexist in the secret realm, rather than going alone to explore, most disciples will choose to form a team to enter the secret realm, so that they can take care of each other in case of unexpected situations.Right now, an expedition team composed of ten people has entered the secret realm one after another.

"Before I came in, I heard from the elders that in order to reduce the casualties of the disciples, the elders labeled each area in the secret realm according to the level of danger." A disciple said as he walked, "The green sign is the area with the lowest risk. You can enter, the risk of the orange sign is higher, and you can enter the Golden Core Realm to explore; the red sign means it is very dangerous, and only Jindan senior disciples or Yuanying disciples can enter. As for the black sign... the elders said that if you want to live Get out, and stay away from there."

The other shrank his head timidly, and said in a daze: "The black lottery, isn't it only obtained by Yuanying's high-level or even higher?"

"That's right, even the three senior brothers of Tianji Peak probably wouldn't dare to take risks lightly." The previous disciple said, "Don't think about it so much, we are all newcomers, just go to the green area to practice honestly. .If you want me to say, no matter how good the treasure book is, it is not as important as your own life."

The rest of the people nodded in agreement, and some people smiled and said: "We have a lot of people, and Xue Lang is here, maybe we can try to explore the orange area."

These people are the new disciples who joined Taixuanzong together this year. Some time ago, they went down the mountain to practice together, and they got closer to each other, so they took the initiative to gather together for this secret exploration.

"Speaking of which, Xue Lang's luck is really unbelievable. He was invited to Tianji Peak by Senior Brother Meng as soon as he started. Last time, he was stung by the Sting Demon. I was terribly scared. I was afraid that his life would be lost, but the next day he was stung. Look, hey, he directly broke through the Foundation Establishment Alchemy!"

The person who spoke was the one who shared a room with Xue Lang in the inn last time. The other disciples obviously knew about this, and they all sighed. They jokingly asked the young man who had been silent in the team: "What luck do you have?" Where did it come from, and share it with us?"

However, the young man kept his head down and walked on his own, until someone touched his arm before raising his head, with a dazed expression: "What's wrong?"

"You've been distracted since just now." Someone asked concerned, "Are you okay?"

Xue Lang shook his head slowly: "...it's okay."

His worries are unnecessary.

After all, the man said, they were no longer related.

-

Meng Chen ignored the black label floating in the air, and walked into this area alone.

The name of this place is "Black Water Pond". According to legend, there is a "Shark Silk Clothes" hidden in it, which is woven from shark scales. It is extremely strong and is an excellent protective magic weapon.But it is not easy to get it, because there is an evil beast in the black water pool, which is as big as a mountain and extremely cruel.

The further we walked in, the more chilly the air became. After passing through a dead forest, we saw a pool of water lying ahead, blocking the way forward.I saw that the pool water was extremely black, like ink converging, the water surface was calm and there were occasional dragonflies flying low above, the mood was very leisurely.

In the past, some people were always deceived by this peaceful scene, thinking that the monster in the pool was not there, and took the opportunity to cross the pool by chance.But they don't know that the evil beast is actually lurking in the water, with its mouth half the size of a pool open, facing upwards, when the person crossing the water reaches above the mouth, it jumps out of the water and easily swallows the person whole Swallow it in your mouth, and swallow it contentedly.

Meng Chen walked to the edge of the black water pool, took a look at the calm water, took out four bright red talisman papers from his bosom, and directed them to fall to the four corners of the pool.When the talisman paper touched the water surface, not only was it not soaked, but it ignited automatically. Meng Chen made a trick, concentrated his attention and injected spiritual power, and the four talisman papers burned completely in an instant with a "boom", and quickly spread into four lines of fire. The whole pond is surrounded by water.

The black water was turned red by the light of the fire. Gradually, the surface of the water was no longer calm, bubbling slightly, and the entire black water pool was boiled!

With a sound of "哗啦", accompanied by an angry and painful roar, a huge black water column rose into the sky, Meng Chen took two steps back, avoiding the splashing pool water, and looked up at the giant beast that broke out of the water.

The giant beast is more than ten meters long, its body is pitch black, it has light-colored cloud-like patterns, its tail is thick, long and strong, and it is covered with hard barbs. Looking at its appearance, it turns out to be a cloud crocodile!

The cloud crocodile flicked its thick tail heavily, setting off a small hurricane and extinguishing all the flames in the pool.It slowly turned its huge head, and a pair of yellow eyes stared menacingly at the young man by the water.The next moment, it suddenly opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and with a low growl, it rushed towards the young man!

The pool water surged and splashed in all directions, Meng Chen jumped up on his toes, his long sword came out of its sheath with a "clang" sound, and the "Galaxy Nine Heavens" fell backwards, striking the giant crocodile head-on.

The sword is originally known as "a gentleman in a weapon", but this style makes the killing fierce, it has a bit of domineering, and at the same time it is infused with the power of the Nascent Soul. If it is an ordinary monster, it may be chopped into pieces immediately. Two paragraphs, but the cloudy crocodile was covered with hard scales, and even its head was invulnerable. The sword light wiped a spark on the giant crocodile, and it was bounced back alive!

Meng Chen turned over and landed on the ground, looking at the unharmed Yunyun Crocodile, he frowned slightly.

The cloud crocodile narrowed its eyes, and flicked its tail quite complacently, as if laughing at the overreaching of this small human being.

This crocodile is really difficult to deal with, it seems that giving up is the best policy, but Meng Chen didn't know how to retreat, stepped forward with his sword, and rushed towards the giant crocodile again.The giant crocodile was also irritated by the human's repeated provocations. It put its front legs on the ground, raised its body and roared, and stretched out its head to bite Meng Chen.Meng Chen didn't dodge this time, he moved forward and jumped into the mouth of the giant crocodile!

The giant crocodile was stunned, he didn't expect that the food would be delivered to his mouth obediently, he squinted his eyes and planned to swallow the food comfortably, but the next moment, its body froze.

Countless tiny sword lights burst out faintly from the gaps in the scales, and the giant crocodile opened its mouth wide in horror, spitting out the person who wanted to swallow it, but it was already too late.

Thousands of sword lights became more and more blazing, completely submerging the huge body of the giant crocodile. Before the giant crocodile could even scream, it was cut into countless pieces from the inside out.

The black water pool was soaked red with blood, Meng Chen stood on the remains of the giant crocodile, looked at the blood stains on his body with disgust, took off his blood-stained robe and threw it away, crossed the black water pool, and continued on his way. walk in.

I didn't meet any other ferocious beasts on the road behind, and the calmness was a little too much.Until a deep cave appeared in sight, Meng Chen observed the entrance carefully for a moment, then walked in with a sword in his hand.

-

"Wow, there are a lot of Yulu grass here, and you can make a lot of Yulu pills!"

Yulu pill has the effect of beautifying and beautifying the skin, and girls like it the most. Lian Zhi squatted on the ground to pick it happily, but Xue Lang beside him suddenly dropped the herbal medicine in his hand and stood up, turned around and walked out.

"Xue Lang," she called hastily, "where are you going?"

"I have something to leave for a while." Xue Lang's heart was beating inexplicably from just now, and he said without turning his head, "I'll be right back."

The rest of the disciples looked at each other in blank dismay, seeing the young man walking faster and faster, before disappearing into their field of vision as he ran with great strides.

-

The cave was dimly lit, so Meng Chen lit a fire talisman and walked while observing the surrounding environment.

The temperature in the cave was dry and the walls were clean. After walking for a long time, there were no traps or poisons.

It's not the same as he imagined.

The abnormal calm meant deeper danger, Meng Chen didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all, walked all the way to the end, and saw the shark silk clothes quietly placed on a stone platform.

The treasure clothes exudes a moonlight-like clear light, with a pure breath, it is a real top-grade treasure.Meng Chen cautiously checked the surroundings, but still found nothing abnormal.

Although doubts remained in his heart, Meng Chen reached out and took off the shark silk clothes.It was only after he took it off that he discovered that there were a few inconspicuous words engraved on the stone platform where the clothes were placed, which was "Wuxin Formation".

Meng Chen secretly thought something was wrong and wanted to retreat immediately, only to realize that his limbs had completely lost strength without realizing it, and his vision had become blurred.

With a sound of "clang", the long sword fell to the ground with a clear sound.

-

When he opened his eyes again, Meng Chen found that he was still in a cave.

It's just that this cave is different from the one he just entered, it's more spacious and brighter - the lighting is not cheap oil lamps, but precious night pearls; the surrounding furnishings are even more luxurious, and the jade-carved bed is covered with smooth and soft There are several large rows of golden nanmu bookshelves against the wall, which are full of rare ancient scrolls.

If one ignores the claustrophobic environment, this place is more like the gorgeous living room of a certain prince or nobleman.

Looking at this familiar scene, Meng Chen's face became extremely ugly. He immediately looked down, and saw a long thin golden chain tied to his right ankle, winding down on the ground, extending to the depths of the wall. .

The scene that he didn't even want to look back in the dream reappeared in front of him. Meng Chen's hands began to tremble uncontrollably. He tried to mobilize his spiritual power. Sure enough, the meridians were empty. Not only the spiritual power disappeared completely, but even his strength disappeared. There was not much left, too weak to even clenched fists.

His hands and feet have been disabled at this time.

-

Meng Chen remembered that at the beginning of the incident, there was a demon cultivator harassing the residents of the border town. The people asked Taixuanzong for help, and the head ordered him to lead a team of disciples to investigate the situation.

In order not to startle the enemy, the team counted him as only eight people. After arriving at the border town, he divided the people into four groups, explored separately according to different routes, and agreed to gather after two hours.

Then things got out of hand.

He lost consciousness inexplicably during the investigation, and when he woke up, he was holding his sword in his hand. The sword was covered with blood, and the four juniors were lying scattered around.

While he was still in a daze of shock, the elders of the sect who received the distress signal had arrived in person, together with two disciples from the investigation team.With terrified expressions on their faces, the two disciples pointed their fingers at him with trembling teeth: "Senior Brother Meng, I saw Brother Meng kill Zhang Yao and the four of them with my own eyes!!"

Seeing his fellow apprentice brother die in front of him already made Meng Chen feel distressed and at a loss. He never expected that he would be accused of being the murderer, so he subconsciously denied it immediately: "I didn't!"

The elder of discipline gave him a serious look, and said to the disciple: "Retell what you saw exactly, and you must not fake a single word!"

The disciple suppressed his fear and said while recalling: "After we arrived at the border town, Brother Meng asked us to investigate in groups of two. Killed three people, and finally pierced Zhang Yao's heart with a sword!"

Duan Yi also nodded heavily at the side and said: "It is absolutely true, we are not lying! Our cultivation base is too far from Senior Brother Meng, knowing that we will die if we go up, so we immediately ran away and hid, and sent a distress signal to the teacher's door .”

Besides these two disciples, another disciple who acted with Meng Chen also survived.However, the disciple fell into a coma during the investigation, and the elders arrived and found him in an alley. He woke up with a confused face, completely unaware of what had happened during this period of time.

After listening to the narration of these three people, the elders turned their eyes to Meng Chen and asked eagerly, "What's going on?"

Meng Chen is one of the best disciples of Taixuanzong, the elders also saw what he did on weekdays, and most of them believed in his character, and didn't think he would do anything to harm his fellow disciples.

He has absolutely no motive for doing so.

Unexpectedly, Meng Chen was silent for a while, but said: "I don't remember."

Under the surprised gazes of the elders, Meng Chen said truthfully: "Just like Junior Brother Tong, I lost consciousness for some time for some reason. When I woke up, I saw that the four junior brothers... had already been killed."

Elder Buyunjian of Wuzhao Peak walked to the body of the murdered disciple, carefully inspected the wound, and said concisely: "They all died with a single sword piercing through the heart. It is the Taixuan swordsmanship, and there is an ice soul breath left in the wound, the person who made the strike must be the water spirit root."

All of the above are consistent with Meng Chen.

If Meng Chen categorically denied it, maybe someone was still setting the blame on purpose, but Meng Chen said that he didn't remember.

The faces of several elders gradually became dignified.Yu Nian has always liked Meng Chen as a disciple, and couldn't help but speak for him: "Even... even if Meng Chen killed him, but he lost consciousness at the time, doesn't it mean that he was manipulated? Maybe it was the demon cultivator. Conspiracy! We must not be fooled by them and harm our own people!"

While the elders hesitated, one of them said softly: "It rained last night, and there is water on the ground."

The speaker's voice is clear and sweet, like jade beads touching each other, it is a woman.Several people looked over, it was Bai Bi, the elder of Cuixia Peak.Her expression was cold and her voice was calm, but when Yunian heard it, she suddenly realized: "Yes, you can use the technique of backtracking to reproduce the scene at that time!"

"Backtracking Technique" is an extremely high and profound technique, and only those who are above the Void Refinement Realm can perform it. As long as there is water, mirrors or other things nearby that can reflect objects, they can reproduce the time of an hour here. inside the scene.

So Fu Yan, the precept elder, cast the spell himself, and everyone watched helplessly as a half-person-high "water mirror" appeared in the air, and a picture gradually appeared on the mirror. One of them was Meng Chen, who came from a distance, and met a disciple. When he came forward to report the investigation situation to him, he drew his sword without warning and stabbed the disciple to death; then, when the shocked future of the other disciples had time to recover, he killed two people one after another without saying a word.

The last person left was Zhang Yao. He looked at Meng Chen with an indifferent expression, and realized that the other person might be controlled by something, so he shouted tremblingly with red eyes: "Brother Meng, wake up, I am Zhang Yao!!"

Unexpectedly, Meng Chen responded.

"Immortals and demons have different ways, from now on, don't call me senior brother." After he finished speaking, he raised his sword and cut the fourth person under the sword.The young man flicked the blood on the sword, turned his face expressionlessly, and an ominous red light flashed in his pale eyes.

When the picture disappeared, everyone was shocked and looked at Meng Chen in disbelief.

He was bewitched!

The technique of backtracking cannot be faked, and Meng Chen himself said the words "immortals and demons have different paths", which shows that he was conscious at the time, and he did not lose consciousness when he killed the man as he said!

Although the elders were emotionally reluctant to believe it, the hard evidence was in front of them.Since ancient times, there have been many cases of immortal monks becoming demons, and a large part of them are even powerful monks or young geniuses.They yearn for strength and breakthrough, and gradually turn it into obsession. If their state of mind is not stable, they will go astray with a single thought, and they will never be able to turn back.

Right now, Meng Chen seems to be on this path.

Fu Yan's face was livid, and he asked loudly, "What else do you want to say!"

"I didn't do it." Meng Chen looked a little pale after looking at the water mirror, but his eyes were firm, and he repeated clearly, "I don't remember what happened, but I never killed anyone while awake. Didn't say that either."

But now, his words are no longer credible.

If a person is possessed by a demon, his state of mind will change drastically. The appearance is still the same person, but what is under the skin is uncertain.

Who can tell the truth from the false words spoken by a demon?

Fu Yan strode forward, pressed his palm on Meng Chen's shoulder to detect his aura, and really detected a looming demonic energy in him.The last trace of luck was extinguished, and Fu Yan was extremely disappointed. He slapped the young man on the shoulder and made him kneel down heavily.

"Meng Chen, a disciple of Taixuanzong, fell into the evil way and killed his fellow disciples. Immediately escort him back to Taixuanzong and put him in the dungeon. I will immediately report to Immortal Zhongli and ask him to come back quickly and clean up the sect himself!"

Meng Chen was taken into Taixuan Dungeon.He is a disciple of Tianji Peak, and it is most appropriate for Zhong Lijing to deal with him personally.In addition, Zhong Lijing is in the Mahayana realm, so he can use the "soul-absorbing technique" to invade Meng Chen's brain with his consciousness, and check for himself whether he is lying or not, and whether he is really possessed.If Meng Chen is innocent, he must be returned; if not, then there is nothing to say.

Unfortunately, Zhong Lijing just happened to be in seclusion. He has always been devoted to seeking the Tao and ignoring worldly things. After the seclusion, no one can contact him.The elders had no choice but to send people to strictly guard the dungeon, and wait for Zhong Lijing to leave the customs, and then deal with it. .

Who would have thought that only three days later, Meng Chen would be robbed from the Taixuan Dungeon.

Even Meng Chen himself didn't expect such a thing.

The environment of the dungeon was dim, and when he was imprisoned, his spiritual power was sealed. His eyesight and hearing were not as good as before, and he could only hear a little movement. Then he saw a group of men in black cut off the chains and broke into the prison, knocking him unconscious It was taken.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Yin Chi's worried face.

"Brother, you're awake!" Seeing him open his eyes, Yin Chi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again and again with concern, "Are you dizzy? I'm sorry, I didn't expect those scumbags to use so many magic tricks because they didn't do it lightly. medicine……"

Hearing this, Meng Chen tried to connect the cause and effect. He couldn't guess what he had done. He was so angry and anxious that he sat up immediately regardless of dizziness, and said anxiously, "Don't be stupid! You can rob the Taixuan Dungeon." Is it!? Being discovered by Elder Fu, a hundred lashes is not enough for you! Quick, send me back before things get serious!"

Yin Chi quickly reached out to support him, and said distressedly: "Don't move too quickly, your head will hurt... I won't, it's dark and cold in the dungeon, and I don't know when I will be able to come out, so I won't let you out." Brother, go and suffer that kind of crime."

Meng Chen knew that his teacher and disciple had always been reckless and reckless, so he could only persuade him patiently: "I know you are worried about me, but those who clean up will clean themselves up. Since I didn't do those things, I have nothing to be afraid of. Now you forcefully rob me If you come out, won't you confirm my crime even more?"

Yin Chi looked at him for a while, and said, "Senior brother, those people I sent deliberately left traces of demon cultivation. You can't be cleared of your crimes."

For a moment, Meng Chen didn't understand what he was saying: "...What do you mean?"

"I've wanted to take senior brother away for a long time." Yin Chi smiled, and said softly, "There are too many disgusting things in the sect, and they always stare at senior brother restlessly, and this time framed and blamed, it's also true. I don’t know what vicious person did it. Those elders are even more ridiculous, they usually talk about senior brother and praise you as the most promising disciple of the sect, but after the incident, no one is willing to believe you.”

"But I'm different. I will always trust you and will never harm you..." Yin Chi held Meng Chen's hand, his beautiful peach eyes were full of hope, "So senior brother, why don't you come with me?" good?"

Meng Chen finally noticed something was wrong with him.

Only then did he turn his gaze around.This is a completely unfamiliar cave, the environment is claustrophobic, and there is no exit at all at a glance.The surrounding walls are inlaid with luminous pearls for lighting, tables and stools and other ordinary objects are readily available, and there are even rows of bookshelves against the walls, which are full of books, and there are a few pots of precious flowers and plants placed in the corners for use as decorate.

Such a meticulous arrangement cannot be completed in a day or two.

In other words, the place was laid out before he entered the dungeon.

Looking at his expression, Yin Chi knew that he had sensed something, so he directly and generously admitted: "Brother guessed right, I prepared this place a month ago. But I always feel that there are still many things that are missing. I want to bring you all the things my brother likes the most. Just now that you are here, if you need anything, tell me, and I will find it for you immediately."

Meng Chen shook off his hand, and called him by name: "Yin Chi, what are you going crazy about?"

"I'm not crazy." Yin Chi said seriously, "I've wanted to do this for a long time. In fact, I wanted to fake my brother's death before, but there are fate cards of every disciple in the Taixuanzong Ancestral Hall, so it's easy to see through. Although the person who framed senior brother this time is hateful, he just happened to do me a favor—the sect thought you were a demon, and now they think that you have betrayed the sect with the demon cultivator. give up."

"So during this period of time, Brother Wronged will stay here for a while, and when the outside calms down, I will take you away." As if recalling some long-awaited scenes, the young man couldn't restrain the joy in his eyes, and couldn't help Immediately reaching out to help Meng Chen straighten his slightly messy temple hair, he said softly, "No matter where we go, there will only be me and senior brother."

His fingers caressed Meng Chen's cheek intentionally or unintentionally. The temperature was abnormally high, which brought a strange tingling sensation. Meng Chen was shocked and immediately waved his hand away. Guess: "You..."

Seeing his shocked expression, Yin Chi couldn't help laughing, with a hint of coquettishness and complaint in his smile: "Brother is really too slow to realize it now. You have always treated me like a child and said that I like your brother..."

"But I don't want to hear such words at all." He stared eagerly at the face in front of him, who was thinking about it day and night, and couldn't get enough of it. "I want to be with senior brother. I want you to be mine."

The young man took off his well-behaved and harmless disguise, revealing his long-hidden vigor.For the first time, his eyes fell on the lips of the person in front of him so bluntly and recklessly, and his heart was surging with passion, so he couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed her.

With a "snap", a crisp slap sounded in the air.

Meng Chen dropped his palm, disappointment and anger filled his chest: "So, because of your own selfish thoughts, you can waste the years of friendship between you and me as brothers and sisters. You know that I was framed by others, but you still fell into trouble and asked me to carry on the evil way to kill my fellow disciples." notoriety!?"

"Yin Chi, do you have a conscience!?"

Yin Chi paused for a while, then slowly turned his face away from the beating, and said softly, "I know I'm sorry for doing this. But brother, I have no choice."

"I've had enough. If you stay on Tianji Peak for the rest of your life, you'll always treat me as your younger brother. I've had enough of this brotherhood trick." He said, "I know you may regret saving Me, but it’s already too late—I was born with a humble life, and I can do without anything, but I can’t do without you.”

Ever since he was held into his arms by the young man and gently wiped off the blood on his face when he was dying, in this life, he could no longer tolerate another person in his eyes.
