Chapter 31: The Righteous Path
Big Yellow was lying on the ground, squinting its eyes, its tail wagging up from time to time, while the monkey Little Grey was lying on his bed, a pair of bright eyes looking straight at Zhang Xiaofan whose face looked haggard. Zhang Xiaofan glared at it and said without any good humor, "What are you looking at?"
Little gray naturally will not say anything human to Zhang Xiaofan, but "squeak" screamed twice, look at it monkey face, the master was injured, but did not have any worry color, look instead of gloating look more.
Zhang Xiaofan heart some annoyed, impatiently said: "go, go, go, to the side!"
At this time, the sound of footsteps, before he entered the door, Zhang Xiaofan has heard, smiling, "Sixth brother, how do you send food so early today..."
His voice suddenly stopped, only to see Tian Yuxi's short and fat body slowly paced in from the room door.
Zhang Xiaofan ate a shock, these days, Su Ru only let him rest in peace, the other brothers, including Tian Ling'er only came to see him once, the rest of the time are only Du Bishu three meals for him to send food to, simply could not imagine that Tian Yiqian will suddenly appear.
He froze in bed for a while, suddenly woke up, quickly climbed up, got out of bed to perform a big salute, Tian Yiqi's mind is heavy, his face is cloudy, waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of time."
Zhang Xiaofan answered a sound, got up and stood aside, looking at Tian not easy to come over to sit at the table, a breath of air did not dare to come out.
Tian not easy to look at this disciple a glance, from the reaction just now, this little disciple in any case do not look like a connotation of embroidery of the wizards, rather than ordinary people seem to be a little worse, but on the contrary⋯.
Tian Yi shook his head, sighed, and said, "Old Seven, come and sit down!"
Zhang Xiaofan was again shocked, never Tian Qiqian was not false to him, today he was a little more amiable to him, instead he somewhat did not believe his ears.
Tian Yiqian waited for a while, but saw Zhang Xiaofan looking at himself with astonishment, as if he hadn't reacted yet, his heart was angry again, and he said with a slight anger: "Is it that you want me to ask you to sit down?"
He scolded, full of momentum, Zhang Xiaofan immediately found the feeling of the past days of the master's majesty, actually immediately reacted, obediently sat down.
Tian not easy to see his appearance, but choked, and looked at him one more time, followed by a bitter smile, shook his head and said, "How is your body?"
Zhang Xiaofan respectfully said, "Reporting back to Master, after coming back from Tongtian Peak, after being rescued by Master and Mother, as well as the care of all the senior brothers, it has almost all healed."
Tian Qiwei looked at him and said indifferently, "More than a month has passed since the Seven Veins Martial Arts, it seems that you have almost recovered as well, I have a few words that I want to ask you now."
Zhang Xiaofan's heart sank, vaguely feeling that the thing he had been afraid of had finally come, but the matter was in front of him but he could only say, "Yes, Master please speak."
Tian Yuxi slowly said, "That black stick of yours, where did it come from?"
Zhang Xiaofan's heart jumped, involuntarily looked toward Tian Yi, only to see that Tian Yi was also staring at him, a face although still a bland look, but the gaze seems to have a divine light, actually is not angry but powerful.
At that moment he turned a thousand thoughts in his mind, for a moment he was actually not allowed to make a sound, Tian Qiqiu slowly sank his face, his face was ugly, once again he said in a deep voice: "You say!"
Zhang Xiaofan was urged by him, a few moments forehead sweat has appeared out, although he did not see much, but many years ago in the valley of the blood devouring beads and that strange black stick after the fight accidentally fusion thing, after all, it is too odd, which is vicious and sinister, and there is a sucking of the blood of the special ability, these in the weekdays with the talk of all the brothers, he has known that will never be tolerated for the right way, if not easy to be known by the fact that Tian Yi, I'm afraid it is even more consequences are unimaginable.
In addition, in his deep heart, there is still a matter, has been a deep taboo, especially since he knew that the monk Pu Zhi is the four sacred monks of the Tianyin Temple, and then think of the set of instructions he taught himself....
In that instant, he had made up his mind that no matter what, he could not say anything about Pu Zhi, not even the slightest bit about him.
Tian Yuxi stared at him.
Zhang Xiaofan stood up and knelt down again under that compelling gaze.
"Master!"
Tian Yuxi's brows furrowed as he grunted and coldly said, "Speak."
Zhang Xiaofan bent his head and slowly said, "That black rod, I unintentionally obtained it several years ago when I went to the secluded valley in the back of the mountain together with my senior sister."
Tian Yiqiu was slightly stunned, then remembered, two years ago this did happen, Tian Ling'er went to that secluded valley had fainted for no reason, Su Ru had gone to check but there was nothing strange, later he himself went to take a look and it was indeed the case. This matter has been a small mystery, but the days a long time on their own will be forgotten, and now it seems that most is the cause of this black stick.
But a black stick no one urged can make Tian Ling Er fainted in the past, this is what kind of ferocious thing, Zhang Xiaofan but how can get to drive?
When Tian did not easily think of this, the doubts in his heart only grew bigger and bigger, and he said in a deep voice: "How did you get it?"
Zhang Xiaofan did not dare to raise his head, for fear of being Tian not easy to see the expression on his face, he was not a clever person, at this moment is even more anxious, in a hurry no matter how can not think of any good excuse to explain.
Tian not easy to see his hesitation, he is how worldly sophisticated, immediately bellowed: "Say."
Zhang Xiaofan was scared by him, sweat beaded down, heart beating, do not dare to hide, finally put the day the situation roughly said out, but in this, his words to the edge of the mouth, but still about the blood devouring beads of the thing hard to put back, only said is that the day in the valley, he saw the black stick, a moment of curiosity to pick up, the results of the black stick actually will be sucked out of his blood (in fact, that is the blood devouring beads of the sake of the blood), and feel nausea want to vomit, and then he After that, he fainted.
Before he passed out, he vaguely saw that the black rod sucked his essence blood into it and integrated it into the rod's body.
After he finished, he did not dare to raise his head, do not dare to look at Tian Yiqi, Tian Yiqi frowned into a bitter thought: look at this little disciple is not like a lie, that all sorts of magic treasures and supernormal capabilities is by no means that he can make up, but this kind of strange magic treasures, that is, even he is the first time to hear of his life, and the black stick some similarity, I'm afraid that it will be only a thousand years ago, the devil sect of the great evil "blood devouring bead". "But obviously, this black stick is not the same as this black stick.
But obviously, this black stick and that blood devouring bead is definitely different.
Tian Yiqiu stood up, paced back and forth in the room with his hands folded, pondered for a long time, turned back to Zhang Xiaofan and said, "You get up first."
Zhang Xiaofan answered in a low voice and stood up, but still hung his head low and stood aside.
"But even so, that magic treasure is connected to you with blood qi, it's a blood-refined object..."
Zhang Xiaofan was surprised, "Master, what is a blood-refined object?"
Tian Yi was stunned for a moment, then impatiently said, "If you don't know, forget it, I'm asking you to listen."
Zhang Xiaofan immediately bowed his head and whispered, "Yes."
Tian Yiqiu looked at him and said, "Even if that black rod is an unearthly treasure, but no matter what you have to cultivate to at least the fourth level of the Jade Clear Realm of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao before you can use it..."
Zhang Xiaofan's face changed.
Tian Yiqiu slowly said, "I asked you that day on Tongtian Peak, and I'll ask you again today, who actually privately passed on the technique to you?"
Zhang Xiaofan's body was shaken, he knew that he was already in big trouble at this moment for this unknown black rod, if he added the matter of privately practicing the spell, he was afraid that the punishment waiting for him would be even more unimaginable.
Just at this moment, he seems to have Tian Ling'er's appearance in front of his eyes: when he was a teenager, he took himself up the mountain to cut bamboo figure, rainy night by the lonely lamp gentle face, and in the past days of the big bamboo peak head of the laughing and running, even that floated in the memory of her body's faint scent, at this moment actually also so clear.
Little by little, floating to the heart!
He knelt down once more, kowtowing heavily, but not saying another word.
He crouched on the ground, motionless, after the first recovery from injury, some thin body has a point of strength, but it seems to carry a point of desolation.
Tian not easy to look at him deeply, half a long time, suddenly let out a long breath, said: ''You get up! Follow me to Tongtian Peak, as for whether you have a life to come back, it depends on your destiny."
※※※
In the depths of the white clouds, immortal qi lingered around, everything was calm and peaceful like the fairyland in people's dreams.
Green Cloud Mountain, Tongtian Peak, Jade Clearance Hall.
The head of the seven veins of the Qingyun Sect were all here, their gazes all looking at the young man kneeling at the bottom of the hall.
Daoist Xuan Zhen Zhen looked at Zhang Xiaofan kneeling there, and in his mind, he couldn't help but recall the figures of those two children who had been rescued from the mountain five years ago, the white clouds and the passing of the world, as if in the twinkling of an eye, they had already grown up to adulthood.
He sighed lowly in his deep heart, his gaze left Zhang Xiaofan, and said to the other Head Seats, "Gentlemen, what did you think of what Zhang Xiaofan said just now?"
The crowd was silent, and after a long time, Daoist Cang Song's voice rang out, saying categorically, "This son's words are in no way credible."
Kneeling on the ground, Zhang Xiaofan's body trembled, but did not raise his head.
Daoist Daoist Xuan frowned and said, "Why is Senior Cang Song so certain?"
Daoist Cang Song glanced at Zhang Xiaofan and said, "The method of blood refining is insidious and evil, if it were not for the Demon Sect's demonic person instructing him, how would he have the insight and mana to refine such a treasure, so this person must be a Demon Sect's spy, and his life must not be spared."
Cang Song has always been in charge of the Qing Yun Sect's penal matters, high position and power, speaking in a resolute and hard tone of voice, Zhang Xiaofan heard in his ears, the blood on his face was lost, and he was almost out of breath.
The crowd didn't make a sound, but Tian Yiqiu sank his face and slowly said, "If he is really as intent on sneaking into my Qing Yun Sect as you say, how could he intentionally cast a magic treasure in full view of everyone?"
Daoist Cangsong grunted and said, "Demon sect demons, it's already difficult to guess their deeds, and it's not surprising that they have evil intentions and do some odd things."
Tian Bu Yi angrily said, "Isn't this a far-fetched and strong statement?"
Daoist Cang Song coldly said, "I'm being unreasonable? May I ask Brother Tian, is this blood refining method owned by a member of my righteous path?"
Tian not easy to say, face red, at this moment anyone can see, Tian not easy in the end or on the side of his disciple, just at this awkward moment, suddenly there is an ice-cold voice came out, one can hear it is the head of Xiaozhu Peak Shuiyue master: "May I ask Cangsong senior brother, you said that the blood refining method is sinister, evil and poisonous, may I ask a question, how sinister and evil, how evil and poisonous is it in the end? "
Cang Song Taoist opened his mouth to speak, suddenly choked again, only to say: "Demonic sect demonic techniques, still need to say more?"
Water Moon coldly said, "In that case, Cang Song senior brother also knows nothing about the blood refining method, how could he think that this method is evil and poisonous, so he wants to kill this teenager?"
Daoist Cang Song looked over towards Master Shui Yue, his gaze gleaming, his aura compelling, saying, "Oh, Master Shui Yue, what do you mean then?"
Water Moon Master lightly said: "brothers, the matter here, one, we do not know much about the law of blood refining, although we have heard but mostly speculation, if the so-called law of blood refining is really this coincidence, we will not be wrong to kill a good person? Secondly, this young man is only sixteen years old, his life history is clear, strong to say that he is a person in the devil's religion, I'm afraid that it does not make sense."
Cang Song Daoist narrowed his eyes, but the slits in his eyes revealed a sharp light, saying, "Why is Shui Yue's sister going against the norm today, vigorously exonerating this teenager, is really puzzling?"
Water moon beautiful face anger flashed, that is, said: "I am on the matter, by no means like some people, can not see the other veins of the same family out of the talent, afraid of threatening their own position, they seize some small things to catch all the people, inhumane!"
If on the sharp tongue, in the seven people here there are six men, but none of them can be compared to the Water Moon Master, Cangsong Taoist man was so pale, stood up in a huo.
Daoxuan real hurriedly jack in, said: "well well, talking about how to quarrel again, sit down, sit down."
Daoist Cang Song didn't dare to ignore the words of the Sect Leader, and could only hatefully sit back down. On the contrary, Shui Yue had a face as if nothing had happened, sitting squarely on top of her chair.
Dao Xuan Zhenren shook his head and turned to the others, saying, "Gentlemen, what do you think?"
The heads of the other veins were silent for a while, and Zeng Shu Chang, the head of Wind Return Peak, first said, "Sect Leader, I think that Senior Sister Shuiyue's words are reasonable. This youngster's origins are clean, and he has never been off the mountain since his initiation, so I'm afraid that he really did get this treasure by chance, which is rather a blessing for my Qingyun, to put it mildly."
Daoist Daoist Daoxuan stroked his beard and nodded slightly, turning his eyes to Daoist Tian Yun, the head of Sunset Cloud Peak, who looked at Cang Song and said, "I agree with Senior Brother Cang Song in this matter."
Daoist Cang Song gained an ally and nodded towards Daoist Tian Yun.
In the end, there was only a Chaoyang Peak's Head Seat, Shang Zhengliang, who looked at Tian Yiqiu and the others, then at Cang Song Daoist and Tian Yun Daoist, and finally took a closer look at Dao Xuan Zhenren out of the corner of his eye, and after a slight contemplation, he said, "I think that Shuiyue Senior Sister has a point."
While Tian Yi's face was relieved, Daoist Cangsong was humming, Daoxuan Zhenren then nodded his head and said, "Everyone has said it, so I won't be polite." When he said this, but he first turned towards Zhang Xiaofan who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "Xiaofan, you get up first."
Zhang Xiaofan's body shook as he looked up at the master teachers and slowly stood up.
Daoist Daoist Xuan Zhenren looked at him twice more, as if he wanted to see him clearly, and then said to the other Head Masters, "Gentlemen, I actually thought that Zhang Xiaofan didn't look like a member of the Devil Sect. Although this black stick has a ferocious aura, it is not like the ferocious things of the devil cults that we have seen in the past, which are murderous and ferocious in appearance..."
Cangsong Taoist listened to the wrong, could not help but shout: "Sect master brother, the demonic sect of evil and vicious, rather than kill the wrong, not to be spared ah!"
Daoist Master Daoxuan's face changed, glanced at him, and droned, "Senior Brother Cangsong, do you know what you're talking about?"
Cang Song knew that he had slipped up and bowed his head.
Daoist Xuan Zhenren's face was serious, but his voice tone turned low as he slowly said, "Senior brother Cang Song, you have been in charge of the punishment in my sect for more than two hundred years, and you have been fair and strict, which my brother greatly admires. But I see you in these ten years or so, the hostility is getting heavier, the killing nature is getting more and more prevalent, my brother is very worried in his heart, do you know?"
Cang Song Daoist whispered, "Yes, senior brother."
Daoxuan Zhenren said: "I would rather kill than let go, is the devil's way people do, I Qingyun Sect since the righteousness, has always been open and aboveboard, if things should be rather let go than kill the wrong, otherwise what is the difference between us and the devil's way people? Cang Song Senior Brother, although your Dao is deep, you still need to cultivate the Dao and realize the Dao."
Daoist Cangsong put up a single palm and said, "Many thanks for the guidance, Senior Brother, Cangsong has been taught."
Dao Xuan Zhenren's face loosened as he said, "It's good that you know." Saying this, he turned to the crowd and glanced at them, who all said, "Senior Sect Leader is the one who makes the decision."
Daoxuan Zhenren nodded and said to Zhang Xiaofan, "You heard everything?"
Zhang Xiaofan was touched in his heart and hurriedly said, "Yes, many thanks, many thanks to all the senior brothers and uncles," he said and turned to Tian Yiqi, with some choking in his voice, saying, "Many thanks, Master."
Tian Yi Yi waved his hand, but did not speak.
Daoist Xuan Zhen Zhen picked up the short black rod that was placed on the coffee table at hand and threw it to Zhang Xiaofan, smiling, "This is not something that you can't repel, take it back!"
Zhang Xiaofan reached out to catch it, and immediately felt the familiar and cold breath immediately rise up and travel all over his body, as if it was spiritual with indescribable joy.
He deeply bowed to Daoxuan Zhenren and said, "Many thanks to Master Sect Leader."
Daoxuan Zhenren smiled and clapped his hands three times, behind the hall, a Taoist boy immediately came over, Daoxuan Zhenren instructed a few words, the Taoist boy nodded and answered, and walked out, and after a short while, he led the three people in.
Zhang Xiaofan looked over, but they were all people he knew. Qi Hao and Zeng Shushu walked in front, Zeng Shushu took advantage of his old man Zeng Shu Chang did not pay attention, but also secretly made a face to Zhang Xiaofan. As for the last one, it is the cool and beautiful woman, it is the Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak.
These three people plus Zhang Xiaofan, exactly is this Qingyun door seven veins will be the first four disciples.
