The Lord who use immortals as food

The bright moon was rising high, and Pei Ye stood in front of the carriage on the Immortal Terrace. The woman was already sitting on the carriage.

After the two came back, they didn't say any more unnecessary words, and they didn't say farewell. Instead, other people said goodbye to Master Mingjian one after another, and the woman responded one by one.

Pei Ye looked at the scene of stars holding the moon, and still remembered how Zhu Gaoyang felt like a savior after hearing the words "Ming Qitian" when he was escaping from Xin Cang Mountain. Many times, this woman was indeed synonymous with strength, and every time Everyone subconsciously regards her as someone to rely on.

But now Pei Ye feels that she is not always powerful and flawless. In fact, she is also watched with unimaginable maliciousness. She is a swordsman in the world, dangerous, stressed, and lonely. And she is not as treated as everyone thinks. Properly protected.

Even now, Yunlang Mountain has not sent anyone to pick up their young mountain master.

His thoughts were wandering, and it wasn't until the wheels were about to move that the car curtain in front of him opened again, and Ming Qitian looked at him.

Pei Ye responded with a pursed smile, but the woman stretched out a hand towards him.

Pei Ye was stunned and stared at the clear eyes in front of him for a long time. It wasn't until the woman tilted her head and blinked that he suddenly reacted and put his glass into this hand with embarrassment.

Ming Qitian pursed her lips and smiled, took Liuli back, and handed him three neat thin letters.

"Qingqing sent it to you before." The woman said.

"."

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment before taking it. The familiar clear eyes in front of her glanced at him one last time. Before he could ask anything, the woman lowered the curtain and drove the carriage forward.

Pei Ye lowered his head in shock and rubbed the seal with his hand, only to find that all three letters had been opened and read.

"We've seen it before." Black Cat jumped onto his shoulder, "It's all about the case. There is nothing to reply to, but Ming Qitian still sent her a reply."

Pei Ye was slightly surprised and looked at it.

"How do I know what I wrote?" Black Cat said calmly, "If you want to peek at the private messages between the two of them, you should tell me in advance."

".Stop slandering me."

Pei Ye was still talking and had already opened the first letter.

It is indeed an old letter, and the girl's handwriting seems to still contain the heavy and repressed feeling from that time.

【Qu Zhu. Okay, I'll find out the name within two hours. Pei Ye, don't you make up your own words for Kongtong? What's so good about it? Say a few words to me more when you write. Say hello to Master Mingjian and Kitty for me! 】

Pei Ye smiled knowingly, then quickly fell silent and opened the second letter.

"And Sui Zaihua said that he sent a direct invitation letter to Li Mingqing for this sword selection." Black Cat continued, "Anyway, you can meet and talk if you have any questions, so I'm not in a hurry for you to reply."

Pei Ye paused: "Qing Qing. Are you coming to Fucheng?"

"Probably, Cuiyu needs this opportunity very much."

"." His heart skipped a beat, and Pei Ye didn't know whether he felt fear or anticipation. Fortunately, the second letter had been unfolded, and he looked down.

[Pei Ye, I found this name.

Qu Zhu, a man of outstanding character, started his career as a clerk in the prefecture government office. Three years later, he was promoted to a secretary of state and joined the army. Three years later, he was moved to the position of chief clerk of the prefecture government office. Another year later, he followed Yu Chaocai to serve in the Shaolong government office.

I have found this man's former residence. You must not take risks in a hurry. I am making progress here. Wu Hejian said that he has also locked up a chamber of commerce called "Jinyu Zhai". After we have gained something, we will Many problems there may be solved easily. 】

Pei Ye paused for a moment and remembered when this was. The Kongtong Mountain Formation had already risen at that time. He was tracking the demon sword, and he really didn't have time to look for letters.

Open the third letter.

[Pei Ye, Qu Zhu is a very talented person.

It was as if he had grown up in a deep mountain and did not understand many things. However, once he had contact, he could immediately see deeply and clearly.

There are not many valuable things in the former residence. The only evidence is an old letter from Yu Chaocai, which proves that twenty years ago, after Qu Zhu searched the warehouse and disappeared, he asked Yu Chaocai for news about Xin Ba. In the spring of that year, Yu Chaocai went to Xiangzhou to participate in the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce's Yangchun Sing Sale and purchased 50 taels of Xinpa for 280 taels of silver.

Yu Chaocai couldn't get the money, so he went to the state government's account. After buying it, he put it into the state treasury. Qu Zhu exchanged it for "Bengxue".

I think this is the origin of "Soul Seizing Pearl".

It's been twenty years, Pei Ye, the way Qu Zhu penetrates things always makes me scared, and such a keen and intelligent genius has wasted twenty years on one thing. I don't know what he was doing during these twenty years. Whatever you do, it is the most important time in a person's life.

I want to remind you again, again, to protect yourself, they may be more daring than anyone can think of.

Next, I want to find the place where he carved the five ounces of amber.

There must be a place like this. This person knows all the formations and weapons. I think that is the accomplishment accumulated by Sun and Moon. In Bowang, I will definitely find traces of its existence. 】

"."

Pei Ye looked at the letter in silence for a long time before he raised his head and looked to the horizon. Ming Qitian's carriage and horses had only a star left.

He lowered his head again, and the content of the letter once again dragged him into those dark days. Yes, "I don't know what he was doing in the past twenty years, but that was the most core period in a person's life." time".

What has Qu Zhu wanted for these twenty years?

Even though he had stared at that face again and again in [Zhaoyou] and experienced his silence and solitude inch by inch, Pei Ye still had never really seen through this person.

He was forbidden by God to follow the path of "Daoxu Jing".

Just a few dozen days ago, Qu Zhoufu was still telling Meng Li, "This is the cliff that stopped him. It took him forty years to pass it."

It is true that the sword gift is such an unchangeable thing given by God. Until now when the matter is settled, Pei Ye has not seen the third form of "Bengxue" from him.

He wanted to control the heart of Xiting. His status was low and he was alone, so he joined the Huansi Tower. But could the Huansi Tower give him what he wanted?

I speculated that he had been planted with the fairy fire that controlled his life, but how could such a person put his life into other people's hands since he took the initiative to join the Huansi Tower?

Even if his life is no longer autonomous, it is not like he will be controlled by anyone for twenty years.

What is the relationship between him and Huansilou?

Of course, the most reasonable explanation is now in front of him: he took the initiative to join the Huansi Building, and there was no fairy fire planted in him. They are already a group with the same interests, and he is a member of the Huansi Building. So when Huansilou took control of [Xitingxin], he naturally achieved his goal. So now that they have failed, Sima can safely hand over [Xitingxin] to him.

But isn't this a compromise?

Of course, everyone changes, and Pei Ye himself is constantly growing, but the scene in the Valley of Lakes and Mountains thirty years ago is still clearly imprinted in his mind.

The snow is bright and white, the sunshine is sparse, and the branches and leaves have different shadows.

The man in white looked down at the book, his lips pursed into a thin sharp line, and his face was expressionless and lazy.

"I won't compromise on anything," he said casually.

Two violently contradictory images collided in Pei Ye's mind. He closed his eyes and gently rubbed his forehead, freeing himself from the entangled thoughts.

Sigh.

Of course, no matter what, they have indeed failed, and the moon is clear in front of them.

He didn't think about it anymore. Everyone around him had already started laughing and talking and walking towards the city. Pei Ye stood on the mountain and looked at this vast city. There were sparks of light, people's figures intertwined, and he didn't know how many stories there were in it.

This is the place where the whole Shaolong is intertwined, and the sword selection meeting that attracts the attention of the entire world will soon begin.

Suddenly a finger poked him, and Qu Xinbing's cold voice sounded from behind: "Little duck, can you tell the difference between the west and the south?"

———

The rain became heavier and heavier, almost turning the day into night.

Zhuoyue Lake was dim, and the weeping poplar trees on the shore were clinging to the heavy rain, only swaying slowly with the wind.

In a remote and old alley, a paper umbrella passed under a tree, green boots stepped on the yellow grass that grew wantonly, crossed the decayed threshold, and entered an old courtyard with all the internal organs.

The layout of the courtyard still shows the owner's excellent taste, but nothing is intact anymore. They were first eroded by time, and then carefully inspected in recent days, and placed in a messy yet orderly manner in the courtyard.

Several tall green robes stood in the courtyard, still surveying every inch of the land even in such weather.

Li Mingqing walked in and raised her umbrella, and a few words immediately sounded out cleanly: "Master!"

"Why did you come here by yourself, where is Senior Sister Shen?" A man immediately stepped forward to take the umbrella handle for her. The girl freed her hand, took the sword under her arm, and said with a smile, "I think I should find someone to fight me. An umbrella sheath, convenient and beautiful. ”

Mai Toutiao: "The state government said there is a very important letter for us. Senior sister went to get it first - where is the secret room?"

"This way please."

Several disciples stopped their investigations and followed the girl towards the back door. They left the small courtyard and came to an abandoned warehouse in the back.

"As you said, this really can't be called a 'secret' room." The disciple holding the umbrella said, "We just searched every corner of the small courtyard desperately, but we really didn't expect that he was an upright person. Rented a warehouse in the back to use its cellar.”

Li Mingqing smiled: "Researching array equipment is not a shameful thing. He also specially asked Master Yu to buy Xinpo. I heard Shen Yao say that you are going to dig out hundreds of kilograms of soil. Whose idea was it?"

"Senior Brother Xu!" Several disciples laughed and said in a rough voice:

“If there’s nothing in the house, tear down the wall!”

“If there’s no wall, dig in the ground!”

"The mountain owner will take care of this matter, and we will dig this place back to its foundation——"

"——We have to find it too!!"

The oldest man's face was red, and Li Mingqing smiled: "Senior Brother Xu brings hundreds of pounds of sweet plums to the mountain every year. You are making him laugh so hard, who will make up for my plums?"

While talking and laughing, we came to the bottom of the warehouse. The downward stairs had been cleared, and at the end was a sealed stone wall.

"We didn't open it without authorization. We want to wait for your decision." The umbrella-holding disciple closed the umbrella and said with a smile.

Li Mingqing nodded and came to the end. This is the most common kind of stone wall. After the cellar was abandoned and collapsed, some owners would build it to seal it off to prevent children from entering by mistake.

And it's often very strong because there's always earth behind it.

She stretched out her hand and pressed lightly against the wall. Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the warehouse behind her. Li Mingqing turned around. She was very familiar with the owner of these footsteps, but it was rare to hear such hurried footsteps. look like.

The next moment, it turned out that Shen Yao was striding from outside the warehouse. She didn't even have an umbrella ready, her clothes were mostly wet, but she could not suppress the excitement on her face: "——Junior Sister!!"

The girl raised her eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong, Senior Sister Shen?"

Shen Yao pushed several disciples out of the warehouse and quickly walked down the steps to the girl. His eyes were still very bright in the dark: "Junior sister, what do you think I received?"

She opened her sleeves, revealing a tightly wrapped dark black box. It was exquisitely shaped, with two lines of powerful writing outlined in gold.

【twenty two】

[Excellent gift: True Biography of Jade Feishan Sword Vein·Li Mingqing]

"This is."

"Sword selection meeting."

"."

It was windy and rainy outside the warehouse, and in the silence, Li Minqing immediately understood the woman's excitement.

There is no need to explain in any unnecessary words, the "Sword Selection Meeting" is also something Cuiyu has been paying attention to, but Cuiyu himself cannot protect himself and has no skills in the previous month, and it is difficult for a girl who has been born for five years to have the ability to fight on stage.

But now that the Seven Dragons have been broken, the girl's entry into the country has been almost rapid after returning from Xiangzhou. Shen Yao was already thinking about this, but she never expected that Cuiyu would be directly invited to be included in the list.

This is an unimaginable huge surprise and favor. Master Sui handed over this quota, which is almost the entire Jianmen's ladder to the sky.

Everything is waiting to be reborn, dead trees are blooming, and what they lack most now is the time and resources to grow. Once they enter this "Shaolong Swordsmanship Golden Book", they are almost the escort of the imperial court. A girl with good foundation will soon soar into the sky. .

Of course, it represents the revival of Cuiyu.

Shen Yao suppressed his excitement and said, "Would you like to leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? I will prepare immediately."

However, there was no answer, and there was only the sound of the girl tapping the box surface with her index finger in the warehouse.

In fact, from just now until now, the girl's face has not shown the slightest hint of excitement. Instead, the layer of clothes where she was joking with several disciples was peeled off, revealing a plain face.

".Master?"

Li Mingqing turned over the box in his hand and handed it to Shen Yao without opening it: "Please help me refuse Mr. Sui. Just say that Cuiyu has more important things now."

"Junior sister?!" Shen Yao almost lost her voice and took a step forward.

Li Mingqing looked at her.

"What's wrong with us?" she asked with difficulty.

Li Yiqing turned his head and tapped the stone wall in front of him with the end of his lost green sword: "Zha Qu Zhu, haven't we all been working hard on this for many days?"

"But didn't we just get the complete news from the state government?!" Shen Yao looked at her, "They failed. The Huansi Building was broken down, the play host was ambushed, and Pei Ye and the others were all safe. It’s over! No matter what the tail is, Immortal Terrace will bite it!”

"——We have invested most of the sect's strength on this!"

Li Mingqing just looked at her quietly: "I know, Senior Sister Shen."

"." Shen Yao looked at the pair of clear eyes in front of him, and his breath gradually subsided. I don't know when, this junior sister has become the one who will always be calm.

"It's never over, Senior Sister Shen." Li Mingqing said in a normal tone, "The Cuiyu Sect's own hatred has never relied on other people's reasons."

"What? Hatred?"

"Senior Sister Shen, don't you know what revenge I want to take?" Li Mingqing turned around and smiled, still so light and good-looking.

She lightly knocked on the stone wall in front of her again, and finally a strange sound echoed over her, so she slowly closed her eyes and raised the sword.

"."

"It's better to break than to bend. This is how we got here, Senior Sister Shen." Li Mingqing's tone became softer and softer, and her whole body became calmer little by little. "Cuiyu did not compromise with Qijiao, senior brother did not stop the evil people, and the master did not Qu Zhu flinched in front of him. Now, I want Master to see this man’s body with his own eyes before he passes away. "

"I'm going to do it soon. Don't stop me, okay?"

In the silence, a majestic sword light suddenly erupted from the girl's sword. All the frightening power was firmly grasped and rushed forward. The stone wall collapsed like soft rot, and the rubble exploded into a flower. Brown flowers.

"Snowfall", Part One.

Li Mingqing fluttered back, and in an instant she opened the paper umbrella in her hand forward, blocking Shen Yao behind the umbrella.

"Bang, bang, bang", the impact was loud, but the umbrella could not completely cover a standing person. Shen Yao had tilted his head and raised his sleeves to hide, but after everything settled, his hair was still stained by the splash.

Li Mingqing stood up straight from behind her and smiled sheepishly: "Anyway, you were already dirty when you came from outside."

She shook her umbrella and looked forward. In the black hole in front of her was an old but extremely neat room.
