Five Immortals Gate

When everyone's eyes fell on the remaining people, the middle-aged couple in the Qi Condensation stage couldn't help but tremble. They were the lowest in cultivation and were frightened to be looked directly at by so many Foundation-building monks. The young man in purple shirt was... The hunchbacked old man stood behind him. Although his face was embarrassed, he did not bear the pressure. Li Yan looked pale.

The middle-aged couple was trembling. The male cultivator quietly pulled the female cultivator behind him. Although his face was pale, he still managed to speak, "Wan...Junior 'Songyue Sect' Zhang...Zhang Peng, this is Zhuo Jing, She is also a junior junior sister. Yesterday she came to the market to buy medicine for her master, and she returned to the sect today, but...but she had been staying in the side room to rest because Zhuo Jing was not feeling well before, but...but she really didn't Those who have left the room, please have mercy on me, senior, and let us go back. Master, he is still waiting for this medicine to heal his injuries. Seniors can also check the storage bags of the two juniors. "After that, the male cultivator was in a hurry. He hurriedly took out two cyan porcelain bottles from the storage bag, and then took off the storage bag on his body. At his signal, the woman also took off the storage bag on her waist in a panic, but she wore it on her face. Blushing, it was obvious that there were items in the storage bag that women often use, and they didn't want others to know.

The two of them were helpless. When they came here, they all relied on spiritual weapons to fly, which was a waste of time. After buying the necessary medicines yesterday, they thought that they were running out of time to go back like this. After gritting their teeth, they decided to use the teleportation array early this morning. , who would have thought that he would be involved in this troubled water, and misfortunes never come singly. In fact, if they had really checked the storage bag before, it would have been OK for him and his wife. Anyway, no one would look down on the contents of their storage bag. However, one of the couple had wood spiritual roots and the other had water spiritual roots. He was under suspicion, so he didn’t dare to open his mouth.

When the Taoist heard this, he did not take the storage bags from the two of them. He just waved and two cyan porcelain bottles flew into his hands. He uncorked the bottles and checked them with his consciousness, then capped the two cyan porcelain bottles. , the cyan porcelain bottle flew back with a wave of his hand.

His expression softened a lot, "You two, take out the sect tokens and let me have a look." After hearing this, the middle-aged couple felt uneasy. Seeing that no one else had taken out their tokens, they didn't know who the Taoist Gong was. What do you mean, but I saw that the Taoist priest's face softened, and he felt a little relieved. He quickly took out two small tokens carved like pine trees from his storage bag.

This time, Taoist Gong just scanned his consciousness and nodded, "It is undoubtedly the token of the Songyue Sect. Is Min Songzi your master?"

When the middle-aged couple heard the Taoist priest speak like this, they seemed to know his master. They couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. The male cultivator quickly said, "It's my master. It turns out that the senior knows him."

"Oh, is he injured?" Gong Taoist asked calmly.

"Senior, my master was injured while exploring a secret cave with some friends four years ago. He has been recuperating in recent years. This time it is at the last moment, so he needs some elixirs to assist him, so he The two of us were sent to the market to purchase elixirs." The male cultivator replied, but he looked a little sad afterwards, thinking that he was not a member of the sect. Originally, there were only about twenty disciples. After the master was injured, it would take a few years. When we came down, there were less than ten people left in the sect.

The Taoist priest didn't care what the male cultivator thought. He nodded again after hearing this. In fact, he knew that Min Song

\u003c/di\u003e

It was he, Min Songzi and a few others who went out to hunt for treasures four years ago. Min Songzi's cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building and was very strong. He was just asking about it now. But Min Songzi was really awesome. During that treasure hunt, the last few people encountered a third-level early stage white jade spider. Although they finally got something, two of them died. However, Min Songzi resisted. Even Gong Taoist himself was seriously injured, but he was the head of a second-rate sect and had Master Jindan, so his injuries had long since healed. Min Songzi was just a casual cultivator in his early years. The sect that was founded many years ago has no one to rely on but itself.

"Okay, you two can leave. Master Ling and I are still acquaintances, and I also know his skills. This matter has nothing to do with you two." Gong Taoist said slowly, the middle-aged couple Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Then he stood aside with a happy face and distanced himself from Li Yan and others. Although this time frightened them, they also saved a lot of spiritual stones. Okay, this is a big expense for his sect.

Seeing that many people were telling the difference at this moment, the purple-shirted young man suddenly looked anxious. He couldn't stay for a long time, so he hurriedly said, "Although my master and servant live in the side room,..." But he didn't wait. After he finished speaking, the hunchbacked old man pulled his sleeve, and an old voice said, "Master, we have no evidence whether he left the side room at that time. Let's rely on the Jindan Daxiu to come back and investigate." Although in his heart He was anxious, but also helpless. He knew that his master and servant could prove it to anyone, so leaving in such a hurry made people suspicious.

After hearing this, the young man in purple shirt looked outside the courtyard door with an even more anxious look. He knew for a moment that he could find no reason to leave. In the end, he could only lower his head in frustration, and just kept whispering, "I would have been in the hall if I had known it." , I had known earlier..."

Seeing this, the monks in the Qingxuan audience looked at him with more vigilance, especially since the hunchbacked old man always had an indifferent expression, making others wonder what he was thinking.

"Hehe, we two also went to the side room after we came here, and there is no evidence that we have left." Just as everyone was still looking at the master and servant, a gloomy voice sounded. It was one of the two black-robed men. They actually admitted it directly, without any intention of defending themselves. They seemed not to be afraid of the Jindan master coming back to investigate. They were straightforward.

After hearing this, Li Yan showed an uneasy expression on his face, and said timidly, "I... I can't prove that I didn't leave the side room..."

After Li Yan spoke, everyone was divided into two areas. Although some people stared at Li Yan, after just a glance, they finally focused on the purple-shirted young man and the black-robed man. After all, a hunchbacked old man whose cultivation level was hard to see through and two foundation-building cultivators were the ones who attracted attention. Luo Sanpang and Qin Chengyi had cold eyes. Although they were temporarily safe, they were still the most suspicious people.

When Taoist Gong's eyes passed over Li Yan, he remembered that this person was recorded in the jade slip as a disciple of the "Blood Leaf Sect". Master Xueye knew this person, but he had never met him, so he could not let Li Yan leave at will.

"This boy's cultivation is not bad. Although he is a little scared under the pressure, it is generally good." Taoist Gong gave Li Yan an evaluation in his heart.

At this point, Taoist Gong turned to Kong Nantai and said, "You take Fellow Daoist Lin, Sect Master Yue and others to the teleportation array. The spirit stones will be paid by the sect." After that, he said to the Blood Hand Flying Scythe Confucian Scholar and others, "Fellow Daoists, I will not delay you, please!"

The Blood Hand Flying Scythe Confucian Scholar and others stood opposite Li Yan and the other five, and there seemed to be a barrier between them. Seeing this, they all bowed to Taoist Gong, and then followed Kong Nantai out of the courtyard. However, when they walked out, they all looked at Li Yan and others. Some of them had sympathy in their eyes, like the middle-aged couple; some were indifferent, like the Blood Hand Flying Scythe scholar, Gui Liugang, etc.; some were even excited, and seemed to be gloating, such as the male and female apprentices of Master Yue. They were terrified and frightened before, but now when they looked at Li Yan and others, their eyes revealed excitement.

Seeing this, Li Yan thought, "There are cold and heartless cultivators, and there are also those who take advantage of others' misfortunes. The middle-aged couple may have always lived at the bottom of the cultivators, but they have not lost their sympathy. It seems that as their cultivation grows, many cultivators will cut off more things and become more and more heartless."

The Taoist Gong stopped looking at the Blood Hand Flying Scythe Confucian and others, and looked up at the sky. It was already evening. In the evening of July, the stars appeared early and reflected the setting sun. Even in the summer, the courtyard seemed cold.

He looked at Qin Chengyi and Luo Sanpang behind him and said, "Brother Luo, you will pick out a few smart disciples. Brother Liu, you will be the one guarding this place before Master comes back. Nothing can be moved to avoid losing clues. If there is any mistake, you will have to explain everything to Master." Luo Sanpang's fat face trembled a few times after hearing what Gong Daoren said. He was not stupid. He knew that this was his senior brother trying to pass the buck. Brother Liu's identity was very different. Although he also had the influence of his great-grandfather, how could he compare with Brother Liu, who was related to Master by blood? Now that Brother Liu was in trouble, Master didn't know how he would deal with them when he came back. Guarding the murder scene here, at the least, was just guarding here. The murderer was killed, so there was no reason to turn back. But in the end, if the murderer could not be found and someone needed to bear the Master's anger, he believed that Gong Daoren would find a random reason for the loss of clues, and coupled with the fact that he was the first to appear at the crime scene during the day, he couldn't pass the buck anyway. But he knew it, but he didn't dare to refute it. He could only respond and went to select people with a bitter face. However, he was not a kind person. He had already made up his mind to select a few disciples who he had always disliked. He would also blame them.

When Taoist Gong saw that Luo Sanpang had gone to select people, he turned to Qin Chengyi and said, "Brother Qin, you go and arrange a place for these Taoist friends to live. I have something to discuss with several other brothers and sisters."

Qin Chengyi quickly responded after hearing this. He knew that he entered the sect late and his cultivation was low, so he had to be more diligent in running errands, and this was much better than Brother Luo's situation.

He was about to take a step, but suddenly stopped again, looked up at Taoist Gong, and this time he used voice transmission, "Master, should we arrange disciples to guard the place where they live?" Taoist Gong was calling several junior brothers and sisters to discuss, and said without turning his head, "Now all the major formations of the sect have been opened, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. How many formations can they walk out of? I will ask the patrols to pay more attention to them." Qin Chengyi felt relieved and thought, "Yes, if they walk out randomly, they will fall into the attack of the formation before they go far." Li Yan and the others have been quietly watching the arrangements of the Taoists here, and no one said anything. Qin Chengyi came over at this time and smiled at them, "Dear Taoist friends, today's changes are not what everyone wants. I can only ask you to stay here for one night. Please follow me." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard. Li Yan and the purple-robed youth looked at each other, but the two black-robed monks didn't even look at them and followed Qin Chengyi first.

So Li Yan and the other two followed, but they still kept a certain distance from each other.

After leaving the courtyard, Li Yan saw Luo Sanpang coming towards him with several Qi Condensation disciples. Luo Sanpang helplessly waved to Qin Chengyi, passed them by, and looked at Li Yan and others with unkind eyes. He glared fiercely at him, and then made arrangements to guard this place with a fierce expression.

Qin Chengyi, Li Yan and the other five people did not go too far. They just walked a hundred or ten meters further along the row of houses and stopped at the entrance of a courtyard. He stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. Then he turned around and said to everyone, "Although there are many disciples in my temple, they are not as good as in the past heyday, so there are still a lot of empty houses. Many of these houses have been converted into receptions for guests. The courtyard here is It’s one place, but although there is a large formation covering the entire courtyard, it is not turned on when there are no guests. After all, the formation requires spiritual stones to operate at all times. "

While he was talking, he had already led Ta Yan and others into the courtyard. There were four towering ancient trees in the courtyard, and a row of six houses behind it. As night fell, white lights also lit up in the rooms, and Qin Chengyi Pointing to the building at the back, "Because this place has been changed to receive guests, a small protective formation is also installed in each room. The spiritual stones to activate the formation have been placed. You just need to activate it yourself. After all, This formation is also an ordinary protective restriction. It is common to activate the magic formula. It mainly serves the purpose of sound insulation and early warning. There are also disciples patrolling the temple at night. As long as there is any movement here, someone will come soon, so this is the reason. The formation still has a certain effect. Of course, if fellow Taoists are worried, you can arrange another set of formation protection in the room. "

Qin Chengyi said with a slight smile.
