After Waking up Beside the Villain

The faint fragrance of agarwood filled the room.

A little sunlight poured in from the hollowed-out carved window accompanied by the birdsong, illuminating Xiao Ni's half-opened and half-closed eyes.

Waking up from his drowsiness, Xiao Ni was dazed for a few breaths through the red light on his eyelids, then suddenly opened his eyes as if remembering something, and sat up abruptly.

He subconsciously touched the storage box at his waist while looking around.

"Qi Ling, what is this place?"

Xiao Ni asked with a little vigilance in his heart: "I remember that I was clearly testing the sea of ​​flowers in the secret realm, and then...then I met Fairy Luofeng from the Sanxiu League? Wait, where is Rourou? ?”

Feeling empty under his palm, Xiao Ni suddenly looked down and found that there was nothing on his waist.

Looking at himself again, the storage bags were all gone, and even the clothes on his body were changed.

The voice of Zhiyang Bead Artifact Spirit came: "You should still remember the sound transmission that resounded through the secret realm, the inheritance of the trial secret realm was opened, was taken away, and the secret realm also collapsed. When you were trapped in the sea of ​​flowers, It was teleported out at random. The female cultivator from the Loose Cultivator League came out with you, she saved you and brought you to the Loose Cultivator League."

"Where's my stuff? Where's Rourou?" Xiao Ni asked anxiously.

He had Zhiyang Pearl to help him feel the breath, but he searched a lot of good things in the secret trial territory, and now they are all gone, which inevitably made him full of doubts about Fairy Luofeng's so-called saving people.

"I do not know."

Qi Ling said: "You also know that I haven't fully recovered, and I can't leave your dantian when you lose consciousness, and your perception of the outside world is limited. I only know that the female cultivator brought you to the Loose Cultivation League."

Xiao Ni frowned, and was about to turn over and get out of bed, when he heard footsteps outside the room, and then the door opened, but a young and beautiful maid walked in.

"Ah, Mr. Xiao, you are awake!"

Seeing Xiao Ni sitting, the maid was startled, put down the tray in her hand and hurried over

Xiao Ni's surprised gaze stayed on the maid's face for a while, and then said, "You know me? Where is this?"

The maid smiled and said: "This is Wenling, the general alliance of the Loose Cultivation League. Mr. Xiao, you fell into a coma after you came out of the secret trial realm. My lady couldn't find the elders of Shangqing Mountain for a while, so she decided to bring you Come to the Sanxiu League, please don't be offended."

Xiao Ni said: "My clothes and things on my body..."

"Miss said that when the secret realm was randomly teleported, there was a space turbulence. Both you and the lady suffered some injuries and recovered after taking healing pills. Many items on your body were also lost, and the magic robe was also destroyed. "The maid said, and brought a box from the side, which contained Xiao Ni's tattered disciple clothes and the remains of the storage bag.

"It is so."

Xiao Ni glanced at it without revealing his doubts, and said again: "Besides these, I remember that I also have a storage box, has Fairy Luofeng seen it before?"

The maid shook her head: "All your things are here, the storage box must have been lost in the turbulence."

Xiao Ni's eyes quickly flashed a shadow, but his voice was still calm: "I'm awake now, I don't know when I can see Fairy Luofeng, thank you in person?"

The maid smiled and said: "Miss was called to speak by the lord, Mr. Xiao waits for the voice transmission from the maid to report."

Xiao Ni nodded, and the maid bowed again, then turned and left the room.

Watching the door close, Xiao Ni's originally gentle face suddenly darkened, he gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Ling, I really encountered a turbulent flow in space?"

Qi Ling was silent for a moment, thinking about the coquettish tricks she had done on Xiao Ni's maid doll, and replied: "I haven't felt it."

"San Xiumeng is really lying to me!" Xiao Niyin said coldly.

Looking at Xiao Ni's expression, Qi Ling didn't know for a moment whether it was good or bad that he branded the one-time charm on the maid doll with his spiritual consciousness to deepen it time and time again in order to have another way to control Xiao Ni.

But if the old friend standing behind the Sanxiu League is really the old friend who wanted to compete with him for credit, and also coveted the maid doll, then he can't be blamed.The charming techniques he branded are not comparable to the trivial techniques studied by the ants in the cultivation world.

Outside the door, the maid stopped in the corridor and said to the jade slip: "Miss, he is awake."

Qingyue's gentle female voice sounded from the jade slip: "What's his reaction?"

The maid said: "He really cared about the storage box. As soon as he woke up, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and his face changed immediately when he found that it was gone. After the maid went in, he was still chasing after it. I believed what the servant girl said, but I should still be skeptical."

"I will go there at night." Fairy Luofeng said.

Maid: "Yes, miss."

Putting away the communication jade slips, Fairy Luofeng looked at her father and several elders in the secret room, and said with a slight smile: "Father, uncles, I can confirm that Xiao Ni is very concerned about the storage box, Not for a moment. It's just that he seems to have some doubts about us."

Several people in the secret room exchanged glances with each other, and all looked at the small silver-white storage box placed in the center of the jade table.

Qi Shan, leader of the Sanxiu League, suppressed the scorching heat deep in his pupils, and said, "Doubt? If this storage box is really the Zhiyang Pearl, or something related to the Zhiyang Pearl, then Xiao Ni will be useless to us." It’s okay, you can shoot him to death as you like. A mere handyman disciple in Shangqingshan, even if he is Shan Qianqiu’s registered disciple? As long as he handles it cleanly, Shan Qianqiu can still have the means to go back in time to investigate the murderer?”

A bearded elder said: "Feng'er has been avoiding people all the way here. I know that there are not many people in my Loose Cultivation League who know that Xiao Ni is here. At worst, they will all be killed."

"Then if it's not the Zhiyang Pearl..." another elder hesitated.

He didn't quite believe that Xiao Ni dared to hang the seventh-order magic weapon on his waist.

"If not, then I, the Sanxiu League, will be Xiao Ni's lifesaver." Qi Shan laughed, "At least until now, the Sanxiu League has regarded him as a distinguished guest. As long as we win over him, It’s just a teenage boy, how can he find out? Then I will have my own idea to dispel the boy’s suspicion.”

"All you have to know is what the lord has in mind." The elder nodded and said.

Qi Shan said with a smile: "Okay, next, Qi Lao and Zhen Lao will open this storage box without disturbing Xiao Ni."

Two white-bearded elders came out from among them, and they began to study the storage box, casting Dharma seals and rays of light from time to time in their hands.

"Although this storage box is only a first-grade top-grade box, its refining technique is really exquisite, and it is definitely from everyone's hands!"

"It's just a Tier [-] magic weapon, yet it has so many formations and inscriptions engraved in it. It's a waste of everything! The craftsman who made it is probably not inferior to me in terms of formations and inscriptions." people……"

"Having such a storage box, Xiao Ni really isn't as simple as it seems..."

"The refining tool has been in decline for many years, and the ability to refine such an exquisite storage box may really have something to do with the Zhiyang Pearl!"

Words of admiration kept coming from the two mouths, Qi Shan and the other elders were amazed, and Fairy Luofeng couldn't help but squeeze the round fan tightly in her hand, staring at the box without blinking for a moment.

Although the storage box that Chu Yunsheng gave Xiao Ni as a gift was decorated with a lot of things, it was only a first-level top-grade product, and it was not hard to crack because it was not refined at all.The only trouble is not to disturb Xiao Ni's breath imprinted on it.

But even so, the storage box was unlocked within half a stick of incense.

Pairs of eyes fixed on the silver-white lid, Qi Shan's pupils shrank slightly, and he raised his hand to slowly open it—a petite figure suddenly jumped out.

Qi Shan was startled, raised his hand and slapped the thing out, smashing into the wall with a bang.

"what?"

"Protect the leader!"

"This Xiao Ni is so bold that he dares to plot—"

Because of the figure that popped out from opening the storage box, the secret room was in chaos for a moment, but when everyone saw the thing that flew out and embedded in the bluestone wall, they all closed their mouths in unison, and all voices stopped abruptly .

In the quiet and narrow secret room, gradually there was a sound of heavy breathing, which seemed to be a strange and ferocious wave.

After a long while, the stalemate silence was finally broken.

Fairy Luofeng was full of distress and obsession, and couldn't help reaching out to hug the maid doll whose head was smashed crookedly.

But just when her fingers were about to touch the maid doll, Qi Shan made a sudden move, kicked her away, and directly embraced the maid doll.

Blood flew flying, but Fairy Luofeng was not afraid at all, she sacrificed her magic weapon with a scream, and attacked Qi Shan.

This father-daughter fight woke up the other elders. Their eyes fixed on the maid doll changed, and then all the spells were released, and they rushed up.

"Let go of my wife!"

"Qi Shan, you bastard!"

"Go away! It's mine!"

The secret room, which was built solidly enough to withstand a blow from the Nascent Soul, continued to roar, and soon collapsed with a bang.

The guards and servants in the courtyard were all alarmed, and when they rushed over, they saw the corpses of several elders in the alliance lying on the ground. A woman wrapped in clothes whose face could not be seen clearly walked out of the ruins.

It can be called earth-shattering news in the cultivation world that the Sanxiu League's high-level officials were wiped out in one day except for the leader.

According to the news from the Sanxiu League, the Sanxiu League was attacked by a demon cultivator, and several elders unfortunately died.

The cultivators of Xiandao heard this and everyone was in danger. Although they were hostile to demon cultivators, their attitudes of not killing them quickly changed immediately, for fear that they would be the next one to suffer.

Moxiu was beaten by everyone in the comprehension world.

When the news reached Shangqing Mountain, Chu Yunsheng glanced at it and knew that it was not the work of the demon cultivator.

When the original body was the Demon Lord, although he didn't fit in with others no matter what, he still had a little understanding of the Demon Cultivator.Most demon cultivators act recklessly, beating and killing a lot, but unless they are cruel in heart or evil in practice, they will generally not slaughter anything wantonly, let alone go to the Sanxiu League with the courage.

Moreover, Qi Shan, the leader of the Sanxiu League, is a Yuanying cultivator, and there are so many Jindan elders. The demon cultivator is no more powerful than the immortal Taoist. I am afraid that he is the only one with this cultivation level to do this. .

"This matter is probably related to Xiao Ni's disappearance during this period of time."

After returning from Tianhan Qingxin Cave, Rong Qi, who had turned back into a human body, casually threw a jade slip to Chu Yunsheng, and said calmly.

Chu Yunsheng: "San Xiumeng has been looking for Zhiyang Pearl, and got some wind."

Chu Yunsheng guessed, but maybe he never imagined that all this was a murder caused by a maid doll.

Rong Qi's eyelids half-lidded: "It's not impossible for you to guess the Zhiyang Pearl. There must be something wrong with Xiao Ni. A few days ago, Shan Qianqiu used his disciple's soul lamp to investigate, but found nothing. Such a change in the Sanxiu League, yes For the cultivation world, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing."

Chu Yunsheng nodded slightly, and felt an inexplicable sense of urgency to improve his strength as soon as possible, as if something big was about to happen, and the rain was about to come.

In the next few days, all the immortal sects sent people to the Sanxiu League to express their condolences, and there were more and more rumors from the outside world, and the long-quiet cultivation world finally turned undercurrents.

Regardless of whether the outside world is safe or chaotic, the days after Chu Yunsheng returned to Shangqing Mountain have not changed much, and they are as usual.

After three months of retreat, after thoroughly digesting the artifact refining inheritance left by Master Linglong, Chu Yunsheng could clearly perceive his rapid progress in refining artifacts, and even his cultivation base was also rising steadily.He had a premonition that when the foundation was established, if he chose weapon refining as the root, then on the day the Nascent Soul was formed, he would be able to achieve the legendary Taoism with weapons that can only be achieved by monks who can transform gods and cross the catastrophe.

For him, this is just a finishing touch.

But you can choose many skills to learn, and you can choose many ways to practice spells, but a monk can only have one way of cultivating immortals.If he chose to enter the Tao with weapons, he would have to give up the sword species in his body.

In fact, his sword has just finished condensing, and he has not yet established the foundation to quench his natal sword, and it is completely too late to regret it.

But on the one hand, it was planted by Rong Qi himself, and he stared at it day by day looking forward to polishing it quietly, he was reluctant; on the other hand, he had never thought of specializing in refining weapons, and he was also somewhat curious about practicing swords. One has to experience some different scenery in one's life before he has no regrets, so he does not intend to give up the way of swordsmanship, and instead use weapons to enter the way.

Chu Yunsheng did not tell Rong Qi about this decision, so when he left the customs three months later, he began to build the foundation and tempered his natal sword. spend his face.

In two days, the foundation was established successfully.

This is something Chu Yunsheng is familiar with with his body.

A sword cry resounded through the mountain behind the execution hall, and the dark purple clouds outside the cliff slowly dispersed.

The breath of foundation building subsided, Chu Yunsheng opened his eyes, raised his palm, and a long sword glowing with blue light appeared on his lap, which was very similar to Rong Qi's natal sword.

Before he had time to look at his natal sword, a corner of Shengxue's clothes floated into his eyes.

Rong Qi's face was as cold as the ice of the twelfth lunar month: "I don't make good use of your opportunity to cultivate your way of learning with weapons, but I want to suffer from the pain of practicing swords."

"Master taught me that." Chu Yunsheng stood up holding the sword, and said, "This sword has been tempered and has not yet been named. May I ask Master to give it a name?"

Rong Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, his indifferent thin lips curled slightly, his slightly drooping eyelashes trembled slowly, and then he coughed clearly, "Then... let's call him Sirong."

Chu Yunsheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Rong Qi's face was stiffened by Chu Yunsheng's laughter, he glared at him angrily, then turned around, and said unnaturally: "You will be able to successfully build the foundation today, and I have prepared some wine and food for the teacher, which is to celebrate you. come on."

After speaking, he took the lead in walking outside.

Chu Yunsheng was a little surprised, followed Rong Qi out of the cave, walked into the maple forest filled with night, and soon saw a piece of soft brocade by the stream where the two often fished and grilled fish. Delicate delicacies and fine wines, attractive in color, will make your index finger move when you see it.

just to eat-

Chu Yun swallowed the food in his mouth, seemingly unintentionally said: "It's not the taste of Zhenxiu Pavilion, Master went down the mountain to Baiyue City to buy it?"

Rong Qi, who was sitting across from him, took a sip of his wine and responded.

Chu Yun said: "Then Master, let's change to a restaurant next time. The taste is good, but the heat is a bit bad."

Rong Qi's indifferent and downcast eyes suddenly widened, wishing he could raise his hand and smash a pot of wine on Chu Yunsheng's head.

He found that the traitor hadn't respected him at all since he revealed his identity as the Demon Lord, and his words were very irritating.

Looking at Rong Qi's expression, Chu Yunsheng realized that he wanted to laugh more and more in this world.

After thinking about it, he couldn't bear it anymore, he curled his lips and laughed, seeing Rong Qi looking like he was about to throw a cup and stab him, he didn't hesitate anymore, raised his hand and pressed lightly on the storage bag, and said: "Master, today is your birthday."

Rong Qi was stunned, and clenched his wine glass tightly: "An old man who is almost [-] years old, what is his birthday..."

"The master is more than 100 years younger than the disciple, and still younger." Chu Yun coaxed.

Rong Qi wanted to laugh subconsciously, but suddenly there was a rising light in his eyes.

The clouds and mist in Shangqing Mountain are surging, and the night sky is vast with stars and stars.

Under the boundless dark night, Kongming lanterns one after another passed through the flying red maple leaves and slowly lifted into the sky.

The faint yellow but bright light streaked across the corners of the snow-white robe, reflected on the azure tulle, rose from the surrounding fields, and converged into a bright galaxy in midair.The gurgling stream reflects the flowing light and shadow, the sky and the water meet, the lights are thousands of lights, and the night is the same as the day.

Rong Qi got up slowly, walked to Chu Yunsheng's side in the shining lights, knelt down on one knee, firmly pressed Chu Yunsheng's shoulder with one hand, and bit it viciously.

The breath was entangled, covered by thousands of lights, Chu Yunsheng's hand sank into the bottom of Rong Qi's clothes.

The green gauze and white clothes fell by the stream, slowly infiltrating the cool stream and dew at night, entwining the flying red maple and the tight bare instep.

Three days later, the love that rolled from the maple forest to the cliff finally came to an end.

Chu Yunsheng went to register the information of the disciples of the inner sect and received the disciple uniforms, while Rong Qi came to the punishment hall early in the morning.

He walked around the execution hall in a strange posture, and seeing no one asked him about his walking posture, he decided to take the initiative and found an elder deacon, who seemed to say unintentionally: "Three days ago, the person in the mountain behind the execution hall Can you see the lights?"

The deacon elder looked at the great elder who seemed to have twisted his waist practicing the sword, and replied inexplicably: "I see, the entire mountain behind the execution hall has been covered. I don't know how many people let it go, but they didn't listen." Others talked about putting lights on."

Rong Qi said indifferently: "It's a magic weapon refined by my incompetent disciple. It's called Wanjia Lantern. I never celebrate my birthday, but he pesters me and insists on congratulating me."

The deacon elder heard a kind of fanciful showing off from Rong Qi's words, thinking about the gossip that the great elder took illegitimate children as disciples, he suddenly realized it, and said enviously: "Congratulations to the peak master for getting such a genius!" What a filial son!"

Rong Qi: "..."
