Mortal Bones

Not long after, a group of guards from Fengxiao Villa suddenly broke in, just in time to see Xu Taiping holding a knife in one hand and Lu Chen's head in the other.

"Lu... Mr. Lu?!"

A nurse recognized the head in Xu Taiping's hand.

"You, you, who are you? How dare you assassinate Mr. Lu? He is the son of the elder of Qingxuan Sect!"

The guard pointed the knife at Xu Taiping tremblingly.

The Xu Taiping in his eyes at this moment, with red hair and blue eyes, holding a knife in one hand and a human head in the other, was no different from the legendary evil ghost, that's why he was so scared.

Xu Taiping just glanced at the man and said nothing.

He deliberately let Bai Yu let this team in, just to let them see his "red hair and blue eyes" appearance.

"Catch him!"

After a brief hesitation, the team finally rushed towards Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping opened his mouth, and then spit out a cloud of thick fog with a "huh" sound, and in an instant the entire courtyard was plunged into thick fog.

At the same time, he raised one hand in the air.

An eagle's cry echoed through the night sky.

A huge bald eagle flew past the courtyard with a "boom" sound. One of its talons grabbed Xu Taiping's outstretched hand and dragged him into the air.

When he was twenty or thirty feet above the ground, Xu Taiping raised his palm and condensed five balls of spiritual fire on his fingertips.

Then he saw him flicking his hand and throwing the five groups of spiritual fire towards the courtyard below.

After a moment, a fiery snake rose into the sky.

The entire Fengxiao Villa was enveloped in fire.

He has nothing to sympathize with these people who are doing evil things.

"Bai Yu, Ping An, are you not injured?"

Xu Taiping grabbed Bai Yu's paw with his hand, then jumped up with force, turned over and landed behind Bai Yu.

"grumble!"

The little monkey jumped onto Xu Taiping's shoulders safely.

"No, but, Xu Taiping, I don't like fighting."

Ping An said to Xu Taiping with a smile.

"How can a bunch of bastards harm me?"

Bai Yu said with a proud tone.

"That's good."

Xu Taiping held Ping An in his arms, smiled and nodded.

"Xu Taiping, my mother's demon elixir and original demon blood will be completely digested by me in a month or two. By then I will kill the Peacock King, just like you killed Lu Chen today!"

Bai Yu suddenly said in a cold tone.

"Go together."

Xu Taiping nodded seriously.

"Let's go together!"

Ping An also raised his arms and shouted.

Hearing this, another eagle chirped across the night sky, seeming to vent the long-simmered anger in his chest.

Fairy Lingyue, who had also come out of the gourd, grinned after seeing this, and then communicated with Xu Taiping alone: ​​"What do you think?"

When Xu Taiping heard this, he glanced at the head of Lu Chen in his hand, then nodded and said:

"I may not be able to sweep the snow in front of other people's doors, but if the snow falls in front of my door, I will sweep it clean."

Fairy Lingyue was very satisfied with this answer.

Along the way of spiritual practice, any monk will encounter the problem of "what to do when seeing evil". Some people choose to be neighbors with evil, some choose to ignore it, and some choose to hate evil as enemies.

Xu Taiping's choice was to "sweep away the evil in front of him", which coincided with Fairy Lingyue's choice back then.

…

The next day, early morning.

In front of Yangxin Pavilion on the seventh peak.

"Hey, you've already come out of Taiyuan."

Qing Xiao was a little surprised to see Xu Taiping coming down from an attic next to Yangxin Pavilion.

"Well, I came out a long time ago."

Xu Taiping smiled and nodded.

"How does it feel."

Qingxiao asked Xu Taiping with a smile.

"very good."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"By the way, senior brother, Senior Brother Du Qianjiang from Wufeng told me yesterday that Senior Sister Zijin will be going down the mountain today, and I want to see him off."

He suddenly spoke.

"Going down the mountain today?"

Qingxiao didn't expect it to be so early.

"Want me to go with you?"

He asked Xu Taiping.

"No need, Second Senior Brother, you still have to prepare for the third competition tomorrow. I have the pass token sent by Senior Brother Du here, so there will be no problem."

Xu Taiping took out the token that Du Qianjiang gave him.

"Well, then you go ahead, I'm entering the Yangxin Pavilion."

Qing Xiao nodded and didn't insist anymore.

…

The fifth peak is on the Cloud Platform.

"Liu Zijin, the time has come, it's time for you to follow me on the road."

A spiritual crane with gray feathers said to Liu Zijin who was standing in front of it with a somewhat impatient tone.

"Elder Gray Wing, please wait for the disciple for a while."

Liu Zijin glanced at the steps at the entrance to the Cloud Climbing Platform, then turned to the gray crane and begged.

"You've been waiting for almost a stick of incense."

The gray crane snorted coldly.

"Elder Gray Wings, please wait a moment."

Seeing that the Gray Wing elder was about to get angry, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar next to Liu Zijin suddenly walked up to the Gray Wing elder with a smile.

While speaking, he waved his sleeves and sent a talisman emitting extremely strong spiritual energy fluctuations to the Gray Wing elder.

"This...since you, Peak Master Shen, have spoken, I will wait for half a stick of incense. If you still don't leave after half a stick of incense, I will report it to Qilu Hall. Peak Master Shen, you also know that Qilu Hall's Punishment is not something a small person can afford.”

The Gray Wing elder's tone was very troubled.

"Elder Gray Wing, please don't worry, it's just half a stick of incense."

The elegant middle-aged man smiled and nodded.

"Excuse me, Master."

Liu Zijin looked at the middle-aged man with gratitude.

This elegant middle-aged man was none other than Shen Zhi, the master of the Five Peaks and Liu Zijin’s master.

"You and I are just masters and disciples, so why bother talking about it?"

Shen Zhi shook his head at Liu Zijin, his eyes still full of regret.

It has been six years since Liu Zijin entered the mountain. Shen Zhi watched him grow up with his own eyes. Now that they are parting, he is naturally very reluctant to part with him.

"Master, my disciple has caused you trouble."

Looking at Shen Zhi's tired face, Liu Zijin suddenly felt guilty.

"It's because my teacher failed to protect you."

Shen Zhi shook his head.

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at his senior brother Du Qianjiang who was standing beside him without saying a word.

"Qian Jiang, did you really make an appointment with Xu Taiping that day?"

He asked Du Qianjiang.

"The disciple told him the date of Junior Sister's descent from the mountain, and also gave him a pass for the five peaks."

Du Qianjiang nodded.

The person the three of them are waiting for now is Xu Taiping.

"With the recent Seven Peaks Competition, Xu Taiping shouldn't have time to come, so I won't wait any longer."

After looking at the entrance of the Cloud Climbing Platform again and finding that no one was coming up, Liu Zijin suddenly said with a gloomy look.

She didn't have any special intention in waiting for Xu Taiping. She just wanted to say a proper goodbye to this friend who had helped their sisters many times.

Leaving without saying goodbye is the greatest rudeness.

"As a friend, he will definitely come. Just wait."

Shen Zhi smiled calmly and signaled Liu Zijin not to worry.

Liu Zijin smiled bitterly when he heard the word "friend" and thought to himself, I'm afraid I'm not a friend in his heart.

At this moment, a crane chirped from the sky.

"he came."

Shen Zhi immediately smiled and said.

When Liu Zijin heard this, his originally gloomy face suddenly showed a smile.

Soon, amidst the whistling wind, a figure jumped off the back of Linghe and landed smoothly on the cloud platform.

"Senior Brother Qianjiang, Senior Sister Zijin."

Xu Taiping, who was holding a wooden box, walked quickly to the two of them.

"There was a little delay and I came late."

he said apologetically.

"It's not too late."

Du Qianjiang and Liu Zijin shook their heads together.

"This...could it be Peak Master Shen?"

Xu Taiping had met Master Shen during the selection of Qifeng.

"Exactly."

Peak Master Shen smiled lightly at Xu Taiping, showing no airs about the Peak Master.

"Disciple Xu Taiping has met Peak Master Shen."

Xu Taiping immediately raised his hands and said.

"You're welcome. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for your comfort to Zijin earlier."

Peak Master Shen said with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

The sincerity of his attitude was completely unlike that of a peak leader.

"Master Shen Feng made a serious statement, it's just a matter of effort."

Xu Taiping shook his head.

"You and Zijin talk slowly, I'll stay away for a while."

Peak Master Shen gestured to Du Qianjiang beside him with his eyes.

"Master Shen, Senior Brother Qianjiang, you don't have to avoid me."

Xu Taiping stopped the two of them, then looked at Liu Zijin with a smile and said:

"I don't have anything to say to Sister Zijin, so I brought some things to Sister Zijin. Maybe she can use them when she is down the mountain."
