Why did you mess up the copy again?

After listening to Li Rui's question, Cen Lanjing did not rush to answer, but asked: "Please forgive me, but you have to answer me first, are you sent by Master Fuyuan?"

Li Rui didn't hesitate and took out the token.

Seeing the jade plaque shining with the brilliance of divine thunder, Cen Lanjing knew that this statement was true without any verification.

"Ah, in that case, I was worrying too much." He cupped his hands again to apologize.

Li Rui asked: "I dare to ask, old gentleman, what would happen if we were not sent by Master Tuyuan, or if we were not good people?"

"Then you will accompany me to reincarnate in this illusion until you decay."

Cen Lanjing said calmly, "Little brother, are you still talking about business?"

Li Rui felt a chill on his back and said with a dry smile: "Tell me, tell me."

Cen Lanjing began to explain his experience: "About a year ago, I was surveying the evil spirits in Guiwei Ridge to prevent them from coming back. The decay you see in the past was caused by the evil spirits that poured in decades ago. "

"At that time, a little girl suddenly asked for directions and asked for help. Although I already felt that she seemed abnormal. After all, how could a normal person appear on Guichou Ridge?"

"However, I observed it and didn't find any traces of deceit, so I still stepped forward to help. Who knew that the little girl was a member of the Hidden Cult, and she might have been arranged by Zuo Qiutian, so my loss was not unjust. "

He was clearly talking about something dangerous and murderous, but he didn't have a special tone. He seemed to be just talking about everyday past events. He was obviously defeated, but he didn't seem to care.

In other words, he felt that he deserved to lose.

"That little girl has good kung fu and is proficient in assassination. I was attacked by a sneak attack again, so I was severely injured. I had no choice but to use escape skills to escape."

"Fortunately, the academy is not far from Ghost Crying Ridge, so I was lucky enough to escape. Who would have thought that the girl came here not for my life, but for the golden seal on the top of the Demon-Conquering Tower to suppress evil spirits."

"This seal is very magical. Back then, we used it as a formation eye to separate the inside and outside of the Demon-Conquering Tower. It was a treasure that organized the space."

"That little girl stole the golden seal while I was seriously injured and many people in the palace didn't care about the Demon-Conquering Tower. Naturally, I couldn't let her get what she wanted, so I blocked the way with my seriously injured body. But alas, the Hidden Cult is now more vulnerable than before. In order to gain momentum, the little girl resorted to Fengdu tactics."

Li Rui blinked: "So you lost again?"

"You have to say it!" the old man said anxiously.

Li Rui was a little surprised. It was nothing when he said he had lost just now, so why was he so anxious now?

But he soon grasped the key point. The loss he didn't care about before was to Zuo Qiutian, but the loss now was to the little girl.

Cen Lanjing said: "Although I was defeated, I did know some side theories, because the battle place was not far from the Demon Suppression Tower, so I immediately came out of my shell with my remnant soul and escaped into the Demon Conquering Tower, replacing the gold The location of the seal."

He concluded with a smile: "In this way, I can keep my mind on the top of the tower and continue to suppress the evil spirits in the tower. I kill two birds with one stone."

"Isn't it just that I'm hiding in the tower after dying? I'm quite proud of it." Cheng Mingyue beeped softly.

"Say it again!" The old man became anxious again.

Li Ruigan smiled and said: "Old sir, why are you stopping us here?"

Cen Lanjing smacked his lips: "It doesn't mean anything. I just feel that the world is turning upside down, and I don't know what's going on. To be on the safe side, I'll isolate you first."

He said: "However, since it was Master Puyuan who sent you here, I guess the situation outside is not good now? Has the Hidden Cult taken action? Is Fengdu open? Where is Zuo Qiutian? His plan succeeded, right?" "

Li Rui was a little impressed. This old man was in the Demon-Conquering Tower and could actually make accurate guesses out of thin air.

"Sir, you are a great talent. It is true. Now Zuo Qiutian has broken through the wall outside the boundary with the intention of opening the sky."

"."

Cen Lanjing was not surprised when he heard this. Instead, he lowered his eyebrows and looked a little sad.

After waiting for a while, he asked about the identities of Li Rui and others, as well as some other details, such as the Five Thunder Method.

"I understand. The mines are indeed on Guiweiling Ridge, but it is not easy to get them. After you get out, you can look for my disciple Yuan Qing in the academy. He will provide help."

"Now, since you're all here, I'll take you to see something. Come with me."

Mr. Cen Da led the way. The three of them looked at each other and then followed.

Several people walked through the huge academy, and layers of palace buildings flew past them.

This is not an exaggeration, it is really flying by. Various lights and shadows continue to fly by, and the grass and trees grow and wither, repeating the cycle.

Finally, when a few people stopped, the dilapidated academy was gradually coming to life, and the tower behind them was half up.

There were several scholars talking in front of them. It looked like they were debating, and it was quite intense.

Li Rui turned around and looked beside him, and found that Cen Lanjing had disappeared at some point.

"Senior Brother He! Say it again, do you really not know?"

A young man, who was probably only in his teens, pointed at the tall man opposite him with straight eyebrows and asked. Next to them, there was an honest man with a square face who was visibly at a loss.

"That's Mr. Cen Da." Cheng Mingyue whispered, referring to the honest man who was at a loss.

Li Rui and Guan Gui nodded.

"A Liang, why are you so childish?"

Senior Brother He stared at the young man who questioned him, his eyes were impartial, but he could tell that he wanted to dodge.

"Childish? I care about the lives of hundreds of people in a village. You call this childish?"

A Liang's voice was almost choked, and one can imagine the anger in his heart.

"Yes, but compared with the lives of hundreds of people and the lives of tens of millions of people, how do you choose?" Senior Brother He's tone gradually became calmer.

"Is life a matter of choice?" A Liang was even more angry.

"If you don't choose, don't you have to die?"

Senior Brother He looked at him with a look of pity, but he didn't know who he was pitying.

"Sir, I'm here. I'm the academy's worshiper. I want to take care of the people thousands of miles below Guichou Ridge. Who do you think I want to die?"

"A-Liang, you live a very simple life."

Senior Brother He put his hands behind his back and looked at the huge black ridge not far away, "You only care about the monsters and monsters on that mountain. Do you think that if you guard it, you can protect all the people?"

"But the world has never been like this. Did you know that there are demons in people's hearts?! If the demons on the mountain don't come down, the people below won't fight?"

"They are always fighting to the death, so what can I do? If I have to choose a side among hundreds or tens of millions of people, can I not choose? Do you think that not choosing will solve all problems?"

"If you don't choose, you are just escaping the torment in your heart. They will still fight you to death, but you choose to be out of sight and out of mind."

A Liang's angry look condensed on his face, he stared at the other person for a long time, and finally left lonely.

Senior Brother He watched him walk away with a look of sadness on his face as well: "Xiao Cen, did I do something wrong?"

Young Cen Lanjing shook his head and said, "Senior brother, I think you did the right thing."

Senior Brother He felt much better after hearing this. What he cared about was not right or wrong, but support.

But Cen Lanjing added: "But when A Liang went to Xiaoxi Village before, he met a girl. As you know, this child has had no father or mother since he was a child, and it is difficult for him to let go of his guard against others, so..."

Senior Brother He covered his face with both hands.

"I don't want to choose either." (End of chapter)
