Chapter 30: Suspicion
Like the channel of the netherworld, dark and deeply invisible bottom of the huge vortex hanging upside down in the sky, such as the nine ghosts of the demon opened the horror of the mouth, to devour everything in the world. The wind was bitterly cold, the wind swept away the clouds, the thunder rumbled, and the electricity flickered.
Zhang Xiaofan flew into the fire stick, the fire stick Xuanqing light flashes, in the sky under the black clouds appear striking. Lu Xueqi looked at Zhang Xiaofan's figure wrapped in the green light rushing in, her jade face turning pale.
"Divine Sword Royal Thunder" is the Taoist immortal method of supreme magic, to the mortal body to trigger the heaven and earth to the might, can imagine Lu Xueqi body at the moment the pressure of the huge.
"Tianya" is an unparalleled divine weapon, originally is used to perform "divine sword imperial thunder true skill" excellent blade, but compared to it, Lu Xueqi's own Taoist cultivation is insufficient.
At the moment, she only felt the sky in the clouds, unlimited power like surging waves of rage to her body, the whole body seems to be no change, but the body of blood and qi turbulence, almost all to be this powerful up through the general.
If it is not Tianya constantly sucked away this convergence of surging power, Lu Xueqi was afraid that it would have been unable to support.
The wind whistled, thunder and lightning roared, she stood in the air, in a trance, almost thought she was like a powerless grass in the wind, the next moment, she remembered her master Shui Yue passed on this magic words: "Xueqi, your qualifications are good, is only seen in my lifetime, but this true skill is too powerful, so the power of the backlash is even more abundant. Your cultivation days are still shallow, although you can barely grasp it, but you must not cast the spell at will, to save yourself from the disaster of extinction."
"Boom!"
A thunderbolt, almost from the Tongtian Peak when the sky exploded, everyone vaguely felt the land under the feet gently shook a little, as if the ancient God of Thunder was disturbed sleep, furious hissing!
For a time everyone changed color!
Zhang Xiaofan was only two feet away from Lu Xueqi at the moment, and looking at this power, anyone would know that once Lu Xueqi finished casting the spell, he was afraid that he was going to go up in smoke.
But suddenly his whole body tightened, his body was like hitting a soft wall generally stopped, can not move forward.
Zhang Xiaofan's face turned ashen in an instant. "Divine Sword Royal Thunder True Technique" is one of the Qingyun Sect's mountain magic techniques, how subtle, when casting spells through the Divine Soldier naturally laid a layer of invisible shield around the caster, Zhang Xiaofan was not allowed to enter.
The burning stick glowed even more, but could no longer move forward. Perhaps in the spirit of power, Zhang Xiaofan's burning stick is not inferior to Tianya, but in the method is too far, he just to their own spirit of power to catalyze the burning stick power, absolutely not compared to the Lu Xueqi that after thousands of years of the Qingyun door of the various generations of the grandmasters of the supreme technique of refining.
But in this desperate moment, see the sky in the huge vortex rotating more rapidly, thunder and lightning, Tianya divine sword light is more and more bright, this world immortal method will be performed to complete the moment, Lu Xueqi but suddenly body quake, the original snow-white face instantly red, "wow" sound sprayed a large mouth of fresh blood, almost in front of the body into a blood mist.
The Tianya divine sword was shaken, seemingly unstable, Lu Xueqi clenched her teeth, closed her eyes, will all the heart spiritually all concentrated to the Tianya above, a moment later, Tianya light stabilized, but more than before, brilliant, can not be forced to look at.
Only, Lu Xueqi heart is a burst of despair, the wind, really came a sharp whistling.
She fully protect Tianya, but no longer have the ability to take care of the body shield, Zhang Xiaofan under the great joy, and that fire stick into a pillar of light, across the sky, rushed to this beautiful woman swaying in the wind.
This is it?
Did everything end here?
Her heart suddenly calmed down, thinking so faintly in that one moment.
This instant, a short moment, the heaven and earth was quiet, frozen, everything was fixed there, only she stood in the wind, her clothes fluttering, her black hair brushing, opening her closed eyes, looking ahead at the speeding green light.
That moment seemed like eternity!
Zhang Xiaofan looked at her, and her eyes!
She stood alone in the wind and rain, facing the great might of heaven and earth but so peaceful, only her face was slightly pale, and there was actually a point of sorrow in her eyes, as well as a trace of trepidation.
Wind and rain howling, bleak heaven and earth, this beautiful woman, and he quietly look at each other.
Whose eyes are those, mournful and so bleak, as if last night, that person for love hurt! That kind of pain, deep into the bone marrow, deep into the soul.
Deep! Deeply!
Is it you? The woman in love with someone else?
Do you remember him with determination and unrepentant love throughout your life?
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly smiled, with a point of grief and heart death, as if last night.
The burning stick dissolved into the light of the Tianya divine sword, everyone could no longer see the two of them, nor could they see the light of the burning stick suddenly dimmed.
At this moment, the sky was loud, an incomparably huge electric pillar descended from the sky, landing on top of Tianya.
The entire heavens and earth, full of gods and Buddhas, as if at the same moment, chanted together.
A huge pillar of light refracted from the Tianya, with a heaven-destroying momentum, rushed toward Zhang Xiaofan, life and death, the burning stick rose up in the air, blocking the master's body.
The next moment, Zhang Xiaofan was engulfed by the light.
Xu Jiu! Xu Jiu! Xu Long!
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed and the light disappeared.
People stared blankly at the sky, watching that one teenager, tightly gripping a black burning stick, like a tortured and scarred stone, falling straight down.
He didn't fall to the ground, Tian Yi Yi appeared under him like a ghost and caught him.
Only to see Tian not easy face, out like the wind, immediately pry open has been unconscious Zhang Xiaofan's mouth, from the pocket took out a vial, also do not care how much, the pour out of the yellow pill directly poured into Zhang Xiaofan's mouth.
That pill in the mouth is melted, Tian not easy to not say a word, rise up, a red aura immediately rose, carrying him to the wind and lightning, actually no longer to the field to look up, look at that direction, is back to the big bamboo peak to go.
Su Ru and other big bamboo peak lineage of people, also have followed.
At this time, the pale Lu Xueqi fell down, immediately surrounded by ecstatic small Bamboo Peak crowd, in the teachers and sisters surrounded, but she did not say a word to raise her head, looking at the sky gradually far away and disappeared that red mango, stunned.
※※※
It was as if he had been sleeping in the darkness for a thousand years, longing to wake up but unable to open his eyes, and in the deep, boundless darkness, he was alone.
He then walked alone in this darkness, however, in addition to the darkness, there is no way out.
So he was sad and angry, deep in his heart there is a huge fire burning more than, so to the nine ghosts of the demon god made a vow: even if his body and soul together into ashes, but also to light up this little light, even if this will be all the world, buried with him.
The trace of hostility that had been there since the beginning of time was actually as untamed as ever!
Zhang Xiaofan slowly opened his eyes.
Soft light reflected in his eyes, and the familiar smell of the abode floated in this room.
Here, no one seemed to be around.
He slowly sat up, and just as he wanted to raise his hand to wipe away the little bit of sweat on his forehead, he only felt a sharp pain in his shoulders, chest and abdomen together, and at that moment, he sucked in a mouthful of cool air, and his face turned white from the pain.
He sat on the bed, did not dare to move again, after a long time, this pain slowly dissipated.
At this time it was late afternoon, the door of the room was hidden, two windows were raised, you can vaguely see the still verdant grass and bamboo in the courtyard. The little gray that always followed him and the rhubarb that always followed the little gray were gone, could it be that they had found another meat bone?
He smiled a little, smiling to himself at the empty house.
"Creak", the door pushed open, dignified and beautiful Su Ru walked in, Zhang Xiaofan body moved, called out "senior mother", before he got up, his face twitched again.
Su Ru quickly walked to the bedside and sat down, softly said: "You do not move, Xiaofan."
Zhang Xiaofan until the pain subsided a little, only to Su Ru said: "I do not know the master mother you come..."
Su Ru glared at him and said, "You've lost most of your life, but you still have the heart to remember this! Don't talk nonsense, sit down!"
Zhang Xiaofan smiled, Su Ru checked for him, nodded and said, "Your external injuries are almost healed, only the internal meridian damage is too heavy, it's not possible to recuperate without peace of mind."
Zhang Xiaofan said, "Yes, I've disgraced my master and ma'am, I'm really sorry..."
Su Ru intercepted: "You give your master a great face is right, nearly three hundred years, in addition to your master's own participation in the seven veins of the tournament, the Great Bamboo Peak lineage than you have no more outstanding disciples."
Zhang Xiaofan's face reddened as he bowed his head and said, "That, that was all due to my disciple's good luck."
Su Ru smiled faintly and patted his shoulder. Zhang Xiaofan then remembered and said, "The competition is over, right? Who won the championship in the end, was it that Senior Sister Lu?"
Su Ru shook her head slightly and said, "No, it was Qi Hao from Longshou Peak."
Zhang Xiaofan, for some reason, suddenly felt a pang of sourness in his heart, and said in a low voice, "So it was Senior Brother Qi, he is really powerful, even Senior Sister Lu, who possesses the Tianya, lost under him."
Su Ru heard him say so, as if also touched the heart of what, low sigh, digressing from the topic, said: "you this time is not light, your master spent the boss effort to save, listen to him, to Tianya divine sword using the divine sword of thunder true skill, although Lu Xueqi cultivation is not enough, but if not your that burn, burn⋯⋯ you that treasure for you to block a bit, I am afraid that the gods are also powerless to return to heaven! ."
Zhang Xiaofan heard her words, suddenly remembered, to look around, but could not find that black ugly burning stick.
Su Ru looked at him and faintly said, "That magic treasure of yours was taken by your master."
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and whispered, "Yes." Then he couldn't help but ask again, saying, "Master, his old man..."
Su Ru said, "You were in a coma for five days and five nights, and your injuries only stabilized last night. Early this morning, the Sect Leader of Tongtian Peak sent a message over, asking your Master to make a trip, and he should be at Tongtian Peak at this moment!"
Zhang Xiaofan slowly nodded, his heart did not know what it was like, he himself also felt that there should not be any problem, but for the first time in the past two years that burning stick had left him, but there was always some vague feeling of loss.
Su Ru glanced at him, as if a trace of eccentricity also flashed in his eyes, but still said: ''You just woke up, don't be too tired, you need to rest more. I've instructed them not to come over and disturb you, just have Besu deliver the three meals."
Zhang Xiaofan said, "Many thanks, Elder Mother."
Su Ru nodded and said, "Then you rest! I'll have Bishu bring the meals back." Saying that, she turned back and headed out, and just as she was about to walk out of the room, she suddenly heard Zhang Xiaofan call out behind her, "Elder Mother."
Su Ru turned around and said, "What?"
Zhang Xiaofan looked at her and seemed to hesitate for a moment before he said, "Senior Aunt, I want to ask, do you know how the results of the Longshou Peak's Lin Jingyu's competition were this time, at that time I was on Tongtian Peak, I really didn't have the time to go to him and ask for clarification."
Su Ru looked at him again and said, "He made it into the top eight, but lost under fellow senior brother Qi Hao."
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and said, "So he also... Thank you, Elder Mother."
Su Ru shook her head slightly and said, "You rest!" Saying so, she turned around and walked out.
Zhang Xiaofan slowly lay down and looked at the ceiling of the room, silent.
※※※
On Qing Yun Mountain's Tongtian Peak, inside the Jade Clear Hall.
Daoxuan real person sitting in the center, the rest of the six chakra head is also clearly in the seat, in addition, there is no one else above the hall.
All of them were silent, Dao Xuan Zhenren lowered his eyebrows and looked at a black burning stick he was playing with in his hands.
"Senior Brother Tian," Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen broke the silence and said, "What do you think?"
Tian Yiqiu was silent for a moment and said, "Zhang Xiaofan didn't have this item at the beginning of his journey to the mountain, most likely he got this treasure somewhere by chance during these years by chance."
Cang Song Daoist on the side coldly said, "This stick can fight with Tianya, has been the genus of divine weapons, but all over the world, never heard of such treasures."
Tian not easy face sank, coldly said: "God's state vast land, how vast, do not know how many other unearthly treasures, you and I at best is only a frog in the bottom of the well."
Cang Song Daoist's face flickered with anger, before he could take offense, but he heard Little Bamboo Peak's Shui Yue Master coldly said, "We are naturally frogs at the bottom of the well, but this black stick casts spells with demonic qi, clearly an evil object, but I wonder why Brother Tian can't see it?"
Tian Yiqiu grunted and said, "Is some black gas a demonic gas? Is some red silk an evil thing? If that's the case, if I go back and paint my face black, will you all behead me as a demon of the Demon Sect?"
Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen frowned and said, "Senior Brother Tian, don't talk like that, how can you say you are a Demon Cult Demon for a good reason!"
Tian Yanyuan snorted coldly and flung his head away, no longer speaking.
Daoxuan real person sighed, put the burning stick in his hand on the hand side coffee table, said: "Today I invite all of you to come, is to discuss, firstly, this time in the seven veins will be in the martial arts, the big bamboo peak disciple Zhang Xiaofan hands more than this piece of weird magic weapon, the origin is unknown but the power is overwhelmingly powerful. Secondly, when we discussed sending the first four disciples to explore the ancient cave of the Bats in the Khongsang Mountains, the other three people have no opinion, but only this Zhang Xiaofan..."
Tian not easy to listen to the more angry, originally he was Zhang Xiaofan cultivation suddenly soared also some confusion, the burning stick also have suspicions, but in this Yuqing Hall, others do not say, but on their own disciples all kinds of nitpicking, how can he not be angry, and immediately sullen face, brushing the ground to get up, said loudly: "Sect master brother, how do you want to be?"
Daoxuan real person did not expect Tian not easy to have such a big reaction, ate a shock, the crowd have sideways glance. Sitting beside him Tian Yiqiu, has always been with his relationship is not bad Feng Hui Peak first seat Zeng Shuchang pulled Tian Yiqiu's sleeve, said, "Yiqiu, Sect Leader Brother also did not say anything, you first sit down."
Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen's face sunk slightly, saying, "Tian Yi Jian, this matter is indeed a bit odd, I am the head of a sect, I will deal with it impartially, don't worry about it."
Tian not easy face angry color still, but looked at the dao xuan real face as well as beside zeng shu chang advised two sentences, finally still sat down.
Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen slowly said, "Gentlemen, this stick just now everyone has seen, the exterior is flat and airless, but inside there is a hidden fury. But the most important thing is that, with our cultivation, we can't control this object, instead, that one little disciple who is at most only at the fourth level of the Jade Clearance Realm can drive it, what is the reason for this?"
The crowd including Tian not easy to be silent, they are all first class cultivation high level people, how do they not know this reasoning, just no one is willing to say it out loud.
In the end, it was Daoist Xuan Zhen Zhen who said, "In my opinion, this black stick is more than likely a 'blood refining' object."
Despite the early psychological preparation, but all the chiefs here still slightly changed their faces, the so-called blood refining things, is to use the person's own blood into the refining of treasures.
This kind of magic, the method is strange and dangerous not to mention, the material of the treasure is even more harsh and incomparable, not one in a million. And the refining process is extremely dangerous, a careless will be for the treasure of the ferocious blood Li gas backlash, death is unbearable.
Of course, if you can succeed, the treasure must be extremely powerful, and there is a benefit, that is, the treasure and the owner's blood connected, unless there is a refiner's bloodline, others can not be used, but also because of the blood as a guide, often have a ferocious gas.
Legend has it that this blood refining method, passed on in the ancient demon god, since ancient times in the demon religion demon people in the generations, but did not hear of any famous blood refining magic treasure, most likely this method is too dangerous, even the demon religion in the people do not dare to try easily.
Only, now actually in the Qing Yun Sect a teenage disciple, appeared this kind of magic treasure.
Daoxuan Zhenren looked at Tian Yiqian, Tian Yiqian's face turned blue, slowly stood up and said: ''Elder brother, what you say may be reasonable, but I still say, Zhang Xiaofan is only sixteen years old, how does he know this blood refining technique? Moreover, since he has been on the mountain, he has never been off the mountain in the past five years, and when he came here, he was even without any belongings, so where would he go to find this magic treasure material that is hard to find in the world?"
Cang Song Daoist suddenly coldly said, "Perhaps he is a demonic sect of people deliberately planted into my Qing Yun Sect, it is not surprising!"
Tian Yiqiu was furious and said, "If he really had such a plan, how could he have used this item under the eyes of nearly a thousand people in the Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition? Furthermore, if he is really a devil sect spy, hey, Cang Song senior brother, that Lin Jing Yu under your door is afraid that he is not clean either!"
Cang Song Daoist seemed to be stabbed to the pain, got up and said angrily, "What are you saying, how can Jing Yu be compared to your stupid disciple?"
Tian Yuxi's face darkened even more, hummed, squinted, and said, "Yes! My disciple is stupid, but I heard that he even made it into the top four, I wonder what the ranking of that wizard under Cang Song's disciple called Lin Jingyu was this time?"
Cang Song said angrily, "He was unlucky and met his senior brother Qi Hao, if not, how could he not make it into the top four!" Speaking here, he let out a cold laugh and said, "Anyway, he is not as lucky as someone, all the way up, all rely on others to abstain from the round to be able to advance, and actually dare to speak out loud!"
Tian did not easily say loudly, "Could it be that his fight with Lu Xueqi was also luck?"
Cang Song Daoist picked up, "Not bad, it's because it wasn't luck that he lost, and he lost so badly that he almost even lost his life!"
Tian not easy to get angrier and angrier, his tongue has never been very flexible, said Cang Song, but the heart of the anger is even greater, face red, angrily said: "What do you want, do you also want to see if I am not a waste of fame?"
Cang Song Daoist actually has no intention of backing down, immediately stood up, proudly said, "Then I'll learn about your Red Mang Immortal Sword, Tian Senior Brother!"
Tian Yanyu didn't even say a word, stepping up a step, his right hand had already gripped the sword technique, above the great hall, the air suddenly seemed to freeze.
"Unbridled!" A loud sound, but the daoxuan real slap on the hand above the coffee table, full of anger, stood up: "You two but when I this head of the door dead not!"
Daoxuan ascended to the throne of the master has nearly three hundred years, respect, usually although amiable, but this time angry, Tian not easy and Cangsong Taoist are surprised not small, the heart shook, then backed down, whispered: "Yes, the master senior brother rest assured anger."
Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen looked at these head masters, the angry look on his face after a long time before he slowly retreated, pondered for a moment and said, "Tian senior brother."
Tian Yiqiu took a step out and said, "Master Sect Leader."
Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen looked at him and said, "No matter what, this black stick has an odd origin, if it is really a demonic sect's item, and that Zhang Xiaofan has any involvement with the demonic sect, we can't tolerate him, do you know that?"
Tian Yiqiu slightly bowed his head, silent for a long time before he said, "Yes."
Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen added: "Tian senior brother, I know you feel bad in your heart, but the matter is a big one, we can't not act carefully. You today and first go back, to be that Zhang Xiaofan a little better, you will carefully interrogate, and then brought here, we then discuss, how?"
Tian not easy face white for a while red for a while, suddenly heavy pause feet, nodded, not even say a word, turned around and walked out.
Outside the door there was a whistling, most likely the imperial sword went.
Above the great hall, Zeng Shu Chang said to Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen, "Sect Master, Tian Yi Yi's lineage of the Great Bamboo Peak rarely appears a talent, but this kind of thing happened, he naturally does not feel very happy in his heart, you don't need to take it to heart."
Daoist Xuan Zhen Zhen sighed and shook his head, "I naturally won't care, I know and trust Senior Brother Tian's character."
Said here, he seemed to remember something, turned his head to Xiaozhu Peak Shuiyue master said: "Shuiyue senior sister, these days under your door that female disciple Lu Xueqi⋯⋯."
Shui Yue said lightly: "Thank you for your concern, Xueqi's body has largely recovered. If it wasn't for the strange people and treasures under Tian Yiqiu's door, which took away most of Xueqi's vitality in a fight, she wouldn't have lost to anyone else!"
Cang Song's face changed, but Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen had already jumped ahead and shook his hand, "Aiya! Things are in the past, don't bother about it anymore."
Cang Song and Shui Yue glared at each other and turned their heads away, Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen looked in his eyes and sighed in his heart, his eyes couldn't help but move to the top of the coffee table beside him, only to see that black and unsightly burning stick that was quietly lying on top of the coffee table.
