Pawn Crossing the River

After Qi Xuansu exited the dream, he also wanted to go to the lower palace. Because the upper palace was suspended above the ground and flying was prohibited, he could only go to Xingye Lake through the lower palace. As for his familiarity with the lower palace, Qi Xuansu is quite confident. After all, he has lived there for more than ten years. Even in some restricted areas, he can make a rough guess.

It's just that there is a formation isolation between the upper palace and the lower palace. It is obviously unrealistic to jump directly from the upper palace. The only way is to go down from the Mingtang. God knows how Yao Pei touched it, but we can get it from Yao Pei's words. You know, even she can't just go between the upper palace and the lower palace at will. It takes a lot of effort, so she asked Qi Xuansu to meet in a dream.

There are spiritual officials guarding the Mingtang in shifts day and night, so how to get through is really a problem.

Qi Xuansu used his Yin spirit to leave his body and came to the stone bridge between Limen and Mingtang. Looking down from the stone bridge, he could faintly see that there were many spiritual officials standing around the first floor of Mingtang. They were heavily guarded and were far less relaxed than the Mingtang on the second floor. , I can’t help but think about it in my heart.

At this moment, Qi Xuansu suddenly noticed a figure walking towards Duiyuan from another stone bridge at night, where the high-quality teachers lived.

Although he couldn't see the figure's face clearly, Qi Xuansu recognized the person as Qi Jianyuan from the long sword on his back.

It's also strange that Qi Jianyuan made such a redundant move and had to carry a long sword on his back, which was too conspicuous.

It seems that Yao Pei and Qi Jianyuan acted separately. Yao Pei went to the lower palace, while Qi Jianyuan stayed in the upper palace, working together on both ends. Now Qi Jianyuan entered Duiyuan at night, probably because of the secret association of demons.

Qi Xuansu's heart moved and he immediately followed him.

This is the advantage of Yin Shen. It is difficult to detect. It is nighttime, the Yin Qi is heavier and becomes more hidden. If one is not prepared, even if Qi Jianyuan's realm is higher than Qi Xuansu's, it will be difficult to detect.

Qi Xuansu's Yin Shen followed Qi Jianyuan to Duiyuan, and did not dare to get too close. Suddenly, he heard a woman's voice coming from a single-family yard in front: "Who is it?"

After leaving the dream, Qi Xuansu's Yin Shen no longer had that kind of third-party perspective. Returning to the normal perspective, he could only see with his eyes, so at this time, because he was separated by a corner, he could only hear the two people. There was a sound, but two people could not be seen. ..

Then Qi Jianyuan said: "At this time, do you still have to pretend?"

"What do you mean?" the woman asked confused.

Qi Jianyuan said: "I mean, what is your position in Ziguang Society?"

"I don't know what you are talking about?" The woman's tone was a little angry.

Qi Jianyuan said coldly: "Ziguang Society inherited it from True Lord Ziguang. The divine power of several ancient immortals has its own characteristics. For example, Wu Luo's divine power is blood red, Lord Siming's divine power is black and white, and True Lord Ziguang's divine power is It's purple. When you looked at me just now, purple energy flashed in your eyes. There are only two possibilities. One possibility is that you are a banished immortal, and the other possibility is that you are a demon of True Lord Ziguang."

The woman said: "What you said makes no sense. What do you mean there is purple energy flashing in my eyes? There is no third person besides you and me at this time. Isn't it all up to you? What kind of purple energy do you mean?" What kind of purple energy do you have? Do you think you are a master? You can say whatever you want. Who are you? How dare you go to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace to act so arrogantly? I will report it to the assistants now, believe it or not. Take you down?"

Qi Jianyuan said: "This is the best. Let's ask the assistant to come over and see who is captured."

Qi Xuansu thought to himself: "Qi Jianyuan is deceiving. Master Donghua has told you to do things secretly. If he can alert the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, why bother sending him here specially to expend such effort?"

Although the Wanxiang Dao Palace is located on the territory of Quanzhen Taoism, strictly speaking, the Wanxiang Dao Palace, like Jiutang, is directly affiliated with the Grand Master and is neutral.

Neutrality means that they can fall to any party, even if they now have extremely deep roots and intersections with Quanzhen Tao.

The woman was silent for a moment, and she probably understood this, and said nonchalantly: "Since you want to find an assistant, why did you come here alone? You even chose a late night. I think there is something wrong with you."

Qi Xuansu's Yin Shen moved forward a little further, and when he turned the corner, he could see two people confronting each other at the entrance of the courtyard. Qi Jianyuan's back was turned to him, and the woman was tall, with an oval face, single eyelids, and big eyes. She was a beautiful woman with thin lips. Qi Xuansu had the impression that she was a female instructor responsible for teaching music theory.

In fact, Qi Xuansu couldn't figure it out. Shanggong was responsible for cultivating high-quality Taoist priests, learning how to manage people, how to deal with demons, how to operate the economy and trade, ideas, etc. These were all fine. He also accepted learning calligraphy. After all, as a low-grade Taoist priest My boss still needs to give instructions on official documents, even if they don’t have good words, so why do I need to be proficient in music theory? It's like cultivating nobles. It is said that the Westerners are even more outrageous, and they have to learn how to dance, which is really nonsense. There are dedicated people to play music, and there are dedicated people to dance. This is called performing their own duties. Is there a generalist who can do everything in this world?

Qi Jianyuan did not deny it, but said, "Have you heard of the name Pei Muyu?"

The woman's expression changed slightly, but she still said: "Pei family? I haven't heard of it."

Qi Jianyuan smiled: "Then do you want to know how he is doing now and where he is?"

The woman's expression finally changed: "You, what exactly do you want to say?"

Qi Jianyuan said: "My master Donghua's real surname is Pei, and this person's surname is also Pei. Speaking of which, he is still a junior of our master. If I meet him, I should call him senior brother. It's a pity that this senior brother does not follow the right path, so he is Tutor..."

At this point, he paused deliberately.

The female instructor was originally calm, but after hearing this, she became a little confused.

Qi Jianyuan observed the words and then continued: "They were taken down by the master's order and secretly imprisoned in Wuxu Palace. You also know that Wanshou Chongyang Palace is personally led by the Earth Master, and Wuxu Palace has always been led by the master in the past. Although the master has now resigned from the position of being in charge of Wuxu Palace, Wuxu Palace still obeys the master’s orders from top to bottom, so locking him in Wuxu Palace is absolutely foolproof.”

The female instructor said slowly: "So, so it's like this... Then he... he... he..." She said the word "him" three times in a row, but she couldn't continue, and her voice trembled very badly.

Qi Xuansu is not a dull person. After hearing this, he already understood that this female instructor probably has some relationship with that Pei Muyu, maybe she is a lover. Now that Pei Muyu has been arrested, she is naturally in a state of confusion. Qi Jianyuan can find this place, most likely It's also because of Pei Muyu.

The female instructor was silent for a while, then she regained her composure, managed to regain some composure, and asked: "Then...how is he doing now? What did you do to him?"

Qi Jianyuan asked deliberately: "Do you really want to know?"

The female instructor stopped pretending and said directly: "Then why do you need to ask more? Of course I want to know."

Qi Jianyuan said: "According to theory, torture cannot be used to extract confessions, but the rules are set by people, and they are not some unchangeable principles or objective laws of heaven and earth. They can always be modified, so the master asked people to use the Pei family's family method. ”

The female instructor said "Ah", and her newly harmonized mentality became confused again, and she asked urgently: "Did you beat him to death?"

Qi Jianyuan said coldly: "It's not that easy. The Taoist sect's attitude towards traitors is consistent. It's never as simple as death."

When Qi Xuansu heard this, he felt guilty and secretly cried out: "Qiniang, Qiniang, what are you thinking? Why do you want me to return to Taoism and not leave Qingpinghui? Do you have to make me a Traitor?"

The female instructor calmed down a little and asked, "How did you discover him?"

"We didn't discover it," Qi Jianyuan said. "It was the master who saw this person's flaws with his eyes as sharp as a torch and the light of a candle. That's why he was taken down."

The female instructor snorted coldly: "Who is Master Donghua? If he says others are guilty, they are naturally guilty. Even if they are not guilty, they can still be beaten."

Qi Jianyuan didn't want to waste time talking to her about the evidence, and said directly: "Pei Muyu is not a real cult demon after all. He couldn't stand the family law and has already confessed. It is precisely by following this clue that I traced all the way to the Wanxiang Dao Palace. . I never thought that the Ziguang Society would actually focus on the statue of the most holy master left by the Confucian sect, and want to dedicate the huge incense power stored in it to their master. "

The female teacher said: "In this case, you should inform the assistants of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace and ask them to search the Wanxiang Taoist Palace carefully immediately. They would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. It is also better to teach the Taoist sect. We all know that you Quan Zhen revealed a member of the Ziguang Society. By then, Taiping Dao will definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack, especially at the critical moment of fighting for the position of the Grand Master, such a person actually appeared in the home of the dignified Master Donghua. The scandal will only affect the overall situation of Earth Master and Master Donghua."

Qi Jianyuan had reached out and grasped the hilt of the long sword behind him, and said slowly: "That's why the master sent me here to handle this matter secretly. Didn't you just ask me why I came here in the middle of the night? That’s why?”

There was no other emotion on the face of the female instructor, only a cold expression. Her hands drooped naturally, her fingers were slightly spread, and her nails slowly grew longer, shining with purple luster.

"Xuanyin Slaughter".

Qi Xuansu regretted that he was not here, otherwise there would be some claims that he was just a yin god and could only watch on the sidelines.

Suddenly, a strong wind sounded, and the female instructor rushed towards Qi Jianyuan.

Qi Jianyuan also drew his sword and faced the "Xuan Yin Tu" of the female instructor.

The two of them were fighting fiercely, and the sound of fine metal and stone hitting each other was continuous, which surprised Qi Xuansu. This female teacher, who was usually quiet and unshowy, turned out to be a hidden person.

Neither of them dared to alarm others, so they were very restrained, just like ordinary innate people fighting each other. They were not even as open and close as the Guizhen people. It can be said that they saw a big golden sword in a small space.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but drift back a certain distance to avoid being hit by the aftermath.
