After I was dressed as a cannon fodder, I was targeted by the male protagonist

Hearing Gu Xuemian's "thank you", Ding Mengyu smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, I just can't see how bullying the few with the more. And these guys dare to make trouble near Langwu Island, senior brother, hmph, look at me." Fix them up."

After she finished speaking, she sternly tugged on the rope in her hand, and stared at her beautifully: "You have blatantly violated the rules of the sect, and wait to go to the Criminal Law Hall to receive the punishment!"

Ding Mengyu has cultivated herself well, and it is well known that she is protected by two powerful senior brothers. Who would dare to provoke her in Tianqingzong?Those few disciples were silent like cicadas, wanting to cry, but Ding Mengyu threw a few sleeping spells, they could only pass out reluctantly.

Gu Xuemian stood up from the ground, covering her wound expressionlessly.

"Your injury looks serious, go to Huichun Hall for treatment first?" Ding Mengyu couldn't help pointing to the whip wound on his abdomen.

Gu Xuemian glanced at her abdomen when she heard the words, but she walked over as if nothing happened, and she could not tell that he was seriously injured in his actions.

"Huh?" Ding Mengyu was also stunned.

There was a big tear in Gu Xuemian's clothes at the waist and abdomen, exposing the skin inside.It's just that it looked scary, but there was only a not deep wound, which could only be regarded as a minor injury.

Gu Xuemian quickly tore off a piece of fabric from her sleeve to bind the wound around her waist, without even moving her eyebrows during the whole process.He lost the well-behaved and innocent young man in front of Tang Jinyi. Although his face was calm, his deep eyes seemed to be surging under the dark sea, and there was a disturbing aura around him.

At this time, the weather was clear and the sun was in the sky.

When Ding Mengyu was staring at Gu Xuemian's wound that healed at an incredible speed, in the shadow cast by her feet, a small black snake that almost merged with the shadow slightly raised its head and quickly bit her ankle.

"Hiss!" Ding Mengyu felt as if he had been stung by an insect on his feet, and subconsciously lowered his head to look.It's just that she lowered her head, and she seemed to feel a "buzz" in her head.

Immediately, Gu Xuemian's voice was heard faintly:

"How did you meet Immortal Venerable Xuanyi?"

Ding Mengyu was in a daze, opened his mouth unconsciously, and answered Gu Xuemian's question in every detail...

On the other side, Tang Jinyi happily returned to Langwuzhou.

He was very happy in his heart: the plot is finally back on track!

Tang Jinyi recalled what he said to Gu Xuemian earlier. Although Guanshi Huang did the work for the heroine that time, Ding Mengyu still deserves the credit. After all, she is the one who is responsible for the redemption of the black lotus hero , Save the future people of the world of cultivating immortals.So he directly told Gu Xuemian that he was willing to help him because of the love of the heroine.

In addition to being rescued by Ding Mengyu just now, Gu Xuemian should be very grateful to her now!

Thinking in this way, Tang Jinyi walked briskly into the courtyard gate of Langyaju where he lived, and just as he walked in, he felt a trace of strange and powerful spiritual power.

"My lord," Ran Qing happened to lead a servant over, and when he saw him, he saluted respectfully, "You came just in time, Master Fengzhi Sword is waiting for you."

Fengzhi Sword Master, Tang Jinyi's elder brother Zhou Xingzhi.

Tang Jinyi was taken aback for a moment, then walked into the door.Passing through an inner door and turning around the carved screen, I saw a tall and slender man standing in front of the desk in the study with his hands behind his hands, as if he was looking down at a book he casually placed on the desk.

Seemingly hearing footsteps, the man turned around.

His stature was as tall and straight as a sword, his long hair was neatly tied up with a jade crown, and his neckline and cuffs were tied tightly together.A pair of long eyebrows flew obliquely into the temples, and his eyes were like stars in a cold lake, sharp and ruthless.

Even if he doesn't have a sword on his body, he will never be mistaken as a sword cultivator.

Tang Jinyi couldn't help but stop.

There is not much written about Zhou Xingzhi in the book, only that he has a high level of cultivation, a cold temperament, and he is an upright sword idiot who is consistent in appearance and appearance.If Tang Jinyi in the original text is the lonely and arrogant flower of Gaoling, then Zhou Xingzhi is the ice on the glacier that has not melted for thousands of years, and it will hurt your hands even if you touch it.

Tang Jinyi stared at the other party cautiously, and chose the safest words: "Brother, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xingzhi's eyes flashed with astonishment.

Tang Jinyi:?

Why was he surprised? Could it be that he just said the wrong thing?Thinking of this, Tang Jinyi's heart sank slightly, thinking about how to get away with it in case someone sees through that he is not the original.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the cold and impersonal stone in Zhou Xingzhi's eyes seemed to soften a little, and he said in a low voice: "Ah Jin, you are willing to call me senior brother, you are not angry anymore."

He seemed a little happy, and reached out to touch Tang Jinyi's hair, but the latter subconsciously avoided it.The light in Zhou Xingzhi's eyes dimmed slightly, and he withdrew his hand without saying a word.

Tang Jinyi acted completely subconsciously just now. Fortunately, he was originally arrogant, and it seemed that he still had some conflicts with Zhou Xingzhi.It's just...Zhou Xingzhi seems to be somewhat different from the cold swordsman in his impression?

For some reason, Tang Jinyi always felt that the other party seemed to have a subtle...sorrow?

At this time, Ran Qing stepped forward at the right time, and poured tea for the two of them with a smile: "You two young masters, have a taste of the newly delivered Posuo tea."

His appearance eased the atmosphere, and the two sat down at the table.

Zhou Xingzhi: "I heard that you replaced the manager of the medicine garden a few days ago."

My elder brother is well informed.Tang Jinyi nodded, but cautiously did not speak.

Ran Qing winked very much, so she took the initiative to tell Zhou Xingzhi what happened.After listening, Zhou Xingzhi nodded and asked, "How is Guanshi Huang doing now?"

Ran Qing glanced at Tang Jinyi, and said truthfully: "It seems that there was a conflict with his disciples, and the two fought to death, and both died on the spot."

Hearing the news, Tang Jinyi couldn't help being taken aback: Guanshi Huang actually failed to escape death.

But Zhou Xingzhi said in a cold voice: "Ah Jin's herb is broken, it should be killed."

A cold and sharp sword intent erupted from his body for a moment, as piercing as the icy cold wind in winter.Tang Jinyi silently glanced at Zhou Xingzhi, and sure enough, this was the true nature of this swordsman.

However, Zhou Xingzhi's killing intent was only for a moment, and when he looked at Tang Jinyi, he softened again.

Zhou Xingzhi: "Did the cold poison attack recently? I heard that there is a Buddhist disciple in the southern land who is rarely seen in thousands of years. He has made great achievements in medical skills. I will invite you to take a look in a few days. "

As soon as he mentioned this, Tang Jinyi felt a little guilty.These days, he has poured the medicinal soup, which looks like poison, into the courtyard pool every day, and it has almost become a habit.After thinking about it, Tang Jinyi lowered his eyes and said in a lukewarm voice, "You don't have to worry about it."

Zhou Xingzhi suddenly looked disappointed.

At this moment, there was a sound outside the door, and the girl's voice sounded: "Brother! I'm back, look what I brought!"

Just as Ran Qing opened the door, Ding Mengyu jumped in happily like a bird, holding a box of snacks and a few books in his hand.There was a big smile on her face, but the moment her eyes touched Zhou Xingzhi, her face froze.

"Big brother, big big big brother," Ding Mengyu was so frightened that he hid his hands behind his back, lowered his head and muttered, "Why are you here..."

Zhou Xingzhi stretched out his hand: "Give me the things."

"I don't!" Ding Mengyu yelled immediately, "You're going to confiscate my script and snacks again!"

She quickly hid behind Tang Jinyi, and pitifully grabbed Tang Jinyi's sleeve: "Brother, senior brother bullied me!"

Although Ding Mengyu hid it quickly, Tang Jinyi saw it clearly just now—the cover page of the book she was holding read: "Feng Zhi Jian Zun and He Huan Sect Master Trapped in the Cave"...

He couldn't help but gave Zhou Xingzhi a weird look.

The latter obviously also saw that line of writing, and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Ding, Meng, Yu."

Before a division broke out, Tang Jinyi stood up to stop the imminent situation, and said righteously: "Mengyu, give me the things, and I will keep them for you first."

Ding Mengyu glanced at the senior brother whom he was destined to be unable to defeat, and at the second senior brother who had always doted on him.

"That's not impossible..." She muttered in a low voice, and obediently handed over the snacks and storybook.

Zhou Xingzhi's expression was complicated: "Ah Jin, those scripts are all boring fabrications, it's better to just burn them."

Ding Mengyu protested: "I paid for that too!"

Tang Jinyi took the things and handed them to Ran Qing to store them first.He stroked Ding Mengyu's hair very earnestly and said: "Mengyu, practice first, this is also for your own good."

"Oh." Although he was reluctant, it was better to hand it over to Tang Jinyi than to be confiscated by Zhou Xingzhi.Ding Mengyu was depressed for a while, then cheered up again: "I know that brother treats me the best!"

Tang Jinyi thought: No, actually I also want to know what happened to Kangkang in the cave...

But right now, he has more important things to ask Ding Mengyu: "Mengyu, I seemed to see you going to the east of Langwuzhou earlier, but what happened?"

Ding Mengyu didn't suspect him, and told the story of how he met Gu Xuemian and was bullied.When Tang Jinyi heard that she had sent those troublesome disciples to the Criminal Law Hall, he calmed down a bit and asked, "Did he say anything to you?"

Hearing this question, Ding Mengyu's face flashed a trace of bewilderment.

"I can't remember..."

Disciples live.

Shi Sheng was drawing water from the well again, and when he saw Gu Xuemian pushing the door and entering the yard, he couldn't help but look at him more.

Since getting the Rejuvenation Pill last time, Shi Sheng's perception of Gu Xuemian has changed a lot.Before, I just thought it was a stuffy gourd waste, who would have thought that he would hide his secrets, and he could really come up with such a big deal as the Rejuvenation Pill!

It's just that today, Gu Xuemian's state seems to be particularly wrong.He leaned forward, as if unable to straighten up from exhaustion.

Shi Sheng squinted his eyes for a while, then shouted from afar, "Hey, are you okay?"

Gu Xuemian ignored him, entered the room and slammed the door.

"What's wrong!" Shi Sheng muttered behind his back.

However, he didn't see that the moment Gu Xuemian entered the room, there was a thick black ink-like monster slowly spreading from the bottom of his feet, gradually filling the entire small room.When Gu Xuemian opened his eyes, his eyes were completely black like ink, without any other color.

"Uh..." Gu Xuemian covered her eyes and knelt down on the ground, the veins on the back of her hands were bulging because of the pain.It is still difficult for him to control other people's spirits now, just asking the girl to answer a few questions makes his body close to collapse.

In the small, dimly lit space, the pitch-black giant python spat out letters from time to time, staring at the boy on the ground with cold eyes.

After a while, Gu Xuemian stopped trembling and lay on the ground as if exhausted.The black snake approached him, and the slender snake letter licked his arm.

Gu Xuemian put her hands on the cold and greasy scales of the black snake, and stared blankly at the beams with her normal eyes.

He recalled what the girl had said.

"I was picked up by senior brother. At that time, I was a homeless orphan. Senior brother saw that I was starving to death, so he brought me back to the sect and begged master to accept me as an apprentice."

"Senior brother pities me and thinks I have good qualifications, so he is partial to me."

"Senior Brother...Senior Brother didn't expect anything in return from me. He said he was willing to help me, not charity."

And how did that person tell himself?

For the first time, he said, "No thanks."

The second time, he said, "Because of the dream language."

Gu Xuemian put one arm over her eyes and couldn't help laughing.

Is there really kindness in this world that doesn't ask for anything in return?From the time he was ten years old, he never believed in it.If there is, why can't Ding Mengyu own it?

Gu Xuemian looked sideways at the black snake's icy vertical pupils.

"Xiao Si, you like him very much, don't you?"

Black Snake stared at him without blinking.

Gu Xuemian gently stroked the black snake's scales, and murmured, "I'm so jealous."

Jealous of Ding Mengyu, even the steward named Ran Qing.Because they can all enjoy that person's kindness and stay with that person.

Why can't it be me?

Gu Xuemian said: "I will be closer to him than Ding Mengyu."

He squinted his eyes, as if he had thought of some good idea: "Xuanyi Xianzun...shouldn't have accepted disciples yet?"
