The Path Toward Heaven

Ping Yongjia didn't know that Que Niang was missing, and left Xishan Xianju the next day, was taken to the palace by Qing Tiansi officials, and then brought in by an old eunuch.

If an ordinary official entered the palace to face the saint, of course he would be very nervous, but he is the number one disciple of Qingshan in Meihui Taoist War, so he is naturally treated very politely, and he wants not to embarrass his master, so he deliberately acts very calm.

The palace is really big, and it took a long time just to walk through the square before the main hall.

Ping Yongjia was a little impatient, thinking that if he used to run, he only needed to count the breath time.

Just as he was muttering about these mortal rules, he suddenly saw the divine crossbow faintly visible behind the palace wall, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.

You must know that there is a rune engraved on the divine crossbow, which is extremely powerful, even comparable to flying swords. If they are fired together, even extremely strong practitioners will be shot to death. The question is, how could such a powerful divine crossbow be placed in the palace where rules are the most important?

Then he felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the palace, just like Que Niang reminded him last night, the security was very strict, and he didn't know what was going on.

In the main hall, Ping Yongjia finally saw His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty looked normal, his expression was very gentle, and when he praised him, he was very particular about his words.

In fact, it was because he didn't know what the God Emperor looked like before, otherwise he would have noticed that the white hair on the temples of the God Emperor was much older than in previous years.

Similarly, he did not notice the sadness in the eyes of Concubine Hu Gui and Prince Jing Yao who were with His Majesty the Emperor.

What happened in the Meihui Dao battle was really lackluster. Ping Yongjia just kept killing monsters, and he finished talking in a few words. Then he didn't know what else to say, and looked at the Emperor helplessly, thinking to let me go quickly.

Seeing his appearance, the Emperor of God couldn't help laughing, waved him away, and said to Concubine Hu Gui, I said back then that demons are more interesting than humans.

Concubine Hu Gui was taken aback, thinking to herself, isn't this a private conversation between the two back then? Interesting... No matter how dare to say this kind of words in front of the child, his face turned red immediately, and he twisted the emperor without a trace, but his sadness subsided a lot.

...

...

Ping Yongjia walked towards the outside of the palace, and soon discovered the problem.

The old eunuch who brought him into the palace disappeared at some point, and this was obviously not the way to enter the palace. There were towering old trees casting shadows, and the flowers and trees in the garden were completely free from the clutter of spring.

He looked around vigilantly, mobilizing his sword essence secretly, ready to cast unprovoked swordsmanship at any time.

At this time, a short and fat man slowly came out from behind a towering old tree.

In the midst of spring, the weather was quite warm, but this short and fat man was still wearing a big cloak. I don't know why he didn't find it too hot.

A wind came from the palace wall, passed through the array of flowers and trees, with a faint fragrance, lifted the corner of the cloak, revealing a golden light.

Ping Yongjia narrowed his eyes slightly, and his fingers behind his back trembled slightly, which was a sign of preparing to strike the sword, and also a sign of fear.

The realm of that short and fat man is really unfathomable, it is countless times higher than Jian Ruyun, he really does not have the slightest confidence to defeat the opponent, and he cannot even escape from the opponent's hand.

I don't want to commit suicide, but if you really want to do something to me, I have to die.

Ping Yongjia stared at the short and fat man, and said with a trembling voice: I'm just a small person, but my master is Master Jingyang, you should be very clear about what it means to kill me.

The short and fat man laughed, retreated behind the tree for some unknown reason, and then disappeared.

Ping Yongjia stared at the towering ancient tree and was stunned for a long time.

He didn't believe that the other party would leave just because of his threat.

As time passed, the short and fat man never appeared. He finally believed that everything was over, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, sweat poured out of his body immediately, and wet the sword shirt.

That squat man was terrible, he felt he had never been so close to death.

At this time, a voice sounded from behind him.

If he did kill you, what do you think I would do for you?

Ping Yongjia turned around and saw a man in white standing among the flowers and trees.

The spring breeze is blowing, and the white clothes are fluttering.

The man's face took away the color of all the flowers and trees.

As if struck by lightning, Ping Yongjia woke up after a while, rushed towards the flower tree, knelt down in front of the man in white, hugged his thigh and began to cry.

The man in white was naturally the missing Jing Jiu.

Looking at Ping Yongjia who was crying, he frowned slightly and asked, Why are you crying?

Ping Yongjia thought of the loneliness on Shenmo Peak, the loneliness in the landscape garden, the loneliness in the Gu family's carriage, and the loneliness in the snowy field. He was extremely sad, and sobbed, Master, our horse died.

...

...

Yuan Qu came back from the stone gate of the cave, took a sip of the bowl of water that Gu Qing handed over, looked at the remaining half of the bowl of water, and said, I don't know how my little brother will react when he wakes up in Yunxing Peak and finds that we are no longer in Qingshan.

Zhuo Rusui was lying on the stone couch with his legs crossed, dozing off with his eyes closed, and said, It would be interesting if he went to Yunji Town and found that we were not in Jingyuan.

Lu Qing didn't speak, but his expression was serious, he didn't know if he was worried about Ping Yongjia or something else.

This is a secluded cave, which is very spacious, with a stone couch, a spring from the mountain, and a stone table.

The man at the stone table turned his head, his extremely pale eyebrows were full of incomprehension and confusion, and asked Gu Qing: You mean it was confirmed a few years ago that he is the real Jingyang?

He is Tong Yan, so this place is naturally the cave in Qingshan Yinfeng.

I just don't know why Gu Qing, Zhuo Rusui and others left Jingyuan and appeared here.

Gu Qing ignored Tong Yan and said, Master locked us here, what exactly is he going to do?

Zhuo Rusui said: Can the Gu family send the hot pot here?

Yuan Qu said: When do you think the younger brother will wake up and find out that we are not there?

Tong Yan said: Is he really the real Jingyang? Then there are many problems and there are explanations.

Everyone was talking their own words, ignoring everyone else.

Because everyone is very nervous.

On that night dozens of days ago, Jing Jiu watched the starry sky all night, and then suddenly said that he wanted to go back to Qingshan.

He brought Gu Qing and others back to Qingshan, without attracting anyone's attention, he passed through the sword prison to Yinfeng, walked into the cave where Tong Yan was... and then left.

Gu Qing and others became prisoners in Yinfengli.

Some chaotic footsteps came from the depths of the cave.

Zhao Layue came out, dust was all over her messy short hair and clothes, as was the Furth sword she held tightly in her hand.

She stared at the closed stone door of the cave, and said expressionlessly: For so many years, I have listened to you and tried not to cause trouble, because you said that it is good to be alive, but what are you going to do now?

Everyone knew that she was speaking to Jing Jiu, and everyone knew that Jing Jiu must be going to deal with a big event, and he had no idea, so he imprisoned everyone in Qingshan Yinfeng - in Jing Jiu's view, Qingshan Yinfeng is the safest place in the world.

The question is, what exactly is Jing Jiu going to do that even he doesn't know what to do?

You don't need to think about it, you know it's huge, and it's extremely dangerous.

Lu Qing walked up to Zhao Layue, handed over a handkerchief, and asked with his eyes.

Zhao Layue shook her head, indicating that there was also a very strong formation in the cliff outside the cave, and Firth Sword couldn't break through it.

They have tried many times to break through the stone gate of the cave, but no matter whether it is Zhuo Rusui's best at Chengtian sword formation, or Tong Yan's Zhongzhou sect Taoist Xuangong, there is no effect, because the formation outside the cave was arranged by Jing Jiu himself.

Is he really real Jingyang?

Tong Yan said to herself, as if she had encountered the most puzzling thing in the world.

Zhuo Rusui opened his eyes, squinted at him, and said mockingly: I said you should just calm down, can you say something else?

Tong Yan smiled and said, Like what?

Zhao Layue turned around and stared into his eyes and said, For example, what did he do?

It's very simple. Even if there is something wrong with Qingshan and Daoist Taiping comes back, he doesn't have to be so vigilant. There won't be any major incidents at Guocheng Temple. As for Baicheng...you know him, and he probably won't go there again.

Tong Yan said: Then there is only one possibility, he wants to confront Yunmeng Mountain.

The cave became quiet again. The Qingshan sect and the Zhongzhou faction have been at odds for several years, but Jing Jiu has been expelled from Qingshan now, why...

Chaoge City.

Zhao Layue was silent for a while, then said: ...the Emperor is going to die.

As soon as the words fell, the stone gate of the cave suddenly opened, which startled Yuan Qu.

Zhuo Rusui, who was sleepy with his eyes closed on the stone couch, suddenly opened his eyes, which turned into a sword light, and was about to rush out of the cave.

Zhao Layue's reaction and speed were no slower than his, only to see the bloody sword light illuminating the stone wall, and her people had already arrived outside the cave.

With three muffled bangs, Zhao Layue and Zhuo Rusui were sent flying back and landed on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, another person fell to the ground.

Who is outside the cave?

Zhao Layue and Zhuo Rusui are both wandering in the wild, and they are powerless to fight back!

The stone gate of the cave was slowly closed, and everyone vaguely saw a large black shadow slowly sliding past.

Master Yexiao? Yuan Qu shouted in shock.

Hearing these words, Zhao Layue's face became even paler, and Lu Qing also despaired.

If the corpse dog guarding Qingshan guarded them personally, how could they escape?

How did you come here?

Tong Yan looked at the person who was thrown in, frowned slightly, feeling that there were too many incomprehensible things recently.

That person is the sparrow girl.

Looking at the people in the cave, she also felt very dazed, and said, I was looking for you in Chaoge City, and then... I met a short and fat master who can glow golden.
