Mortal Bones

Main peak.

Thinking about the entrance to the cliff.

"Junior brother, I'm waiting for you here. Si Guoya of Qilu Hall, only one person can go in to visit at a time."

In the pavilion resting at the entrance, Qing Xiao gave Xu Taiping instructions.

"Second senior brother, I won't make it difficult for you, right?"

Xu Taiping confirmed with Qingxiao again.

"Won't."

Qingxiao shook his head.

"The crime Liu Zijin committed was excusable and not unforgivable. He was protected by the main force of Wufeng Peak and had people watching over him. This is normal."

He went on to explain.

"Thank you very much, senior brother."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"correct."

Qingxiao suddenly stopped Xu Taiping.

"What's wrong, senior brother?"

Xu Taiping looked at Qingxiao in confusion.

"You're not tempted by Liu Zijin, are you?"

Qing Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to ask the doubts in his heart.

Xu Taiping couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

"Second Senior Brother, don't worry. I have no affair with Senior Sister Zijin. I just made a promise to her sister. Now she is going to be expelled from Yunlu Mountain. No matter what, I have to come and see her."

He explained to Qing Xiao with a frank look on his face.

Regarding the Liu Zijin sisters, Xu Taiping still felt more injustice in his heart.

I feel unfair for what happened to these two people.

"That's very good."

Qing Xiao nodded, with a look of relief in his eyes.

"I heard from the disciples of Wufeng that Liu Zijin seems to be on a hunger strike recently. Her Qi is now broken. If she doesn't eat for a long time, she may not be able to go down the mountain. You can persuade her here."

He then gave Xu Taiping another warning.

"I will definitely give her some advice."

Xu Taiping nodded seriously.

…

Thinking over the cliff.

After passing many checkpoints set by Qilu Hall, Xu Taiping finally met Liu Zijin in a cliff cave.

At this time, Liu Zijin was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, wearing a white singlet, with his long hair disheveled, staring blankly at the stone wall in front of him.

Even when she heard someone coming, she didn't look back, she just said with a dull expression:

"No need to bring me more food."

"Junior sister Zijin, I'm not bringing you food, but someone is here to see you."

The disciple from Qilu Hall who led Xu Taiping replied.

Hearing this, Liu Zijin turned his head in surprise.

Then she caught sight of Xu Taiping behind the disciple.

"Long time no see, Senior Sister Zijin."

Xu Taiping smiled faintly at Liu Zijin.

Seeing that the person coming was Xu Taiping, a smile suddenly appeared on Liu Zijin's pale face.

"Long time no see, Junior Brother Taiping."

She smiled at Xu Taiping.

But her smile was full of bitterness.

"I'll wait on the stone bridge in front, and you two will have some time to talk while burning incense."

The Qilu Hall disciple handed a food box to Xu Taiping's hand, and then patted Xu Taiping's shoulder meaningfully.

This disciple of the Qilu Hall was originally from the Fifth Peak. When Liu Zijin was imprisoned, the Lord of the Five Peaks specially greeted him and asked him to take good care of Liu Zijin.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Xu Taiping took the food box and thanked the Qilu Hall disciple.

"Are you here to persuade me to eat too?"

Liu Zijin asked Xu Taiping with a smile.

"The Qi Mansion has been destroyed. If you don't eat anymore, Senior Sister, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive the day you go down the mountain."

Xu Taiping sighed and put down the food box.

"If you can't hold on, you can't hold on. I can't even avenge my sister. Living like this is meaningless."

Liu Zijin said with a dejected look.

"Senior sister, why didn't you give the Xunchen Incense directly to Xian Lusi?"

Xu Taiping leaned against the wall of the cliff cave and asked Liu Zijin with some confusion.

"According to the regulations of the Qilu Hall, if a disciple on the mountain kills an outer disciple at the foot of the mountain, the most serious crime is to expel him to the foot of the mountain. In a few years, he will be able to return to the mountain through the selection of the seven peaks."

Having said this, Liu Zijin sneered, and then asked Xu Taiping with an unwilling look in his eyes:

"Such a painless punishment is nothing compared to the pain my sister endured."

"So you plan to punish Lu Chen in your own way?"

Xu Taiping asked with a frown.

Liu Zijin nodded, then said with a ferocious smile:

"I lured him to my place, sealed his Dantian, locked him up for three days and three nights, and tortured him for three days and three nights. But just when I was about to take his life, he accidentally used his savings. The force broke through the seal and used his life-saving method to escape. "

At the end of her words, her eyes were filled with deep reluctance and regret.

"You've also seen Xunchenxiang Taiping. Is the torture I inflicted on Lu Chen comparable to what my sister suffered?"

Liu Zijin suddenly looked at Xu Taiping again.

"Not as good as that."

Xu Taiping answered without hesitation.

He had seen Xunchenxiang. Liu Qingmei's experience in it could only be described as outrageous. What's more, Lu Chen didn't let her go after Liu Qingmei's death, but threw him to the tiger monster. Near the lair, they became the ghost slaves of tiger demons and ghosts.

"But your current situation is definitely not what your sister Qingmei wants to see."

Xu Taiping persuaded.

"Xu Taiping, I don't have a sister anymore, not anymore."

Liu Zijin looked at Xu Taiping with tears in his eyes.

There was no sign of life in her broken eyes.

"But isn't Lu Chen still alive?"

Xu Taiping tapped the cliff lightly with his fingers, and then looked up at Liu Zijin.

Liu Zijin was startled when he heard this.

"He's not dead yet, Liu Zijin, how dare you die?"

Xu Taiping added a little more emphasis, looking at Liu Zijin fiercely and added.

This time it was Liu Zijin's turn to be silent.

"Yeah, how dare I die?"

She raised her head and muttered to herself in a daze.

"Senior Sister Zijin, live well. Only by living can you find a chance to take revenge."

Xu Taiping's tone became soft again.

As he spoke, he opened the food box and placed the food on the table.

"But now my Qi Sea is broken and I have become a mortal. How can I be qualified to take revenge on him?"

Liu Zijin said with a bitter smile.

"My grandfather used to tell me that evildoers will be punished by God. As long as you live well, you may receive the news of Lu Chen's death one day."

Xu Taiping smiled and pointed to the sky.

"Heaven?"

Liu Zijin smiled bitterly.

"How could the heaven care about the suffering of ordinary people like us?"

She shook her head with a dejected look.

But immediately, her pupils shrank again, and she looked at Xu Taiping nervously and said:

"Taiping, you..."

"Senior Sister Zijin, eat."

Xu Taiping interrupted Liu Zijin and pushed the bowl of white rice in front of Liu Zijin.
