The grand ceremony of Qingyun Peak was discussed by all the disciples, and various versions of daozun Yun Jue and his disciples were released one after another.
Of course, the most discussed and most secret is the question about who is on top and who is on bottom between daozun Yun Jue and his precious disciple.
As the master, Yun Jue should theoretically be the leader, but his character is too cold, and he looks like a person with few desires. Of course, according to the extension of this statement, it seems that whether he is active or passive, he does not seem to have that kind of life, and even if daozun Yun Jue has a daoist companion, it seems false.
That’s right, a particularly unreal feeling. The disciples also couldn’t figure out why daozun Yun Jue did not choose daozun Yun Hua. He was the senior brother who liked him for many years. Even if daozun Yun Jue chose to have a daoist companion, it should be daozun Yun Hua.
Before, they all went overboard on a series of stories about daozun Yun Jue and Lang Qianxing, but now that the ceremony is approaching, they focus on the question of whether he is worthy or not.
It is very obvious that Lang Qianxing is not worthy of daozun Yun Jue.
Disregarding their cultivation level, just after coming out of the secret realm, he made daozun Yun Jue angry, and then kneeling and begging for forgiveness, Lang Qianxing was just no good. If it was daozun Yun Hua, there’s absolutely no way he’ll make daozun Yun Jue angry.
Thinking about Yun Jue’s coldness and never seeing him angry, it can be seen that Lang Qianxing has done something very bad, and yet he regained Yun Jue’s love and care with the trick of injuring himself. What a scheme!
No matter how the disciples of Tianyun Sect viewed this matter, Qin Lang and Lang Qianxing were still preparing for the ceremony in an orderly manner.
The bright red silk and satin decorate the deserted Qingyun Peak. The festive colors make people feel happy when they look at it, but at the same time, it is also extremely glaring in the eyes of some people.
Tomorrow will be Qin Lang’s ceremony, Yun Feng and the three of them are Qin Lang’s senior brothers and sisters. Today, they should naturally congratulate Qin Lang. By the way, they will help their junior brother to see what else needed to prepare.
Yun Feng and Yun Sang arrived later, while Yun Hua had arrived before them. This was another surprise for Yun Sang. She thought that Yun Hua was so sad that he might not be there on the day of the ceremony, but on second thought, Yun Hua’s personality is dictated. Even if he is sad, he doesn’t want to leave any regrets for his little junior brother’s ceremony, so he came here.
Ai, Yun Sang couldn’t help but sigh again.
Yun Hua brought a lot of gifts to Qingyun Peak. His two disciples were holding beautifully packaged boxes with bright colors, but their expressions were not very good. After all, they all know that their master has been in love with their little uncle master for a long time, but their little uncle master wants to marry someone else, how can they smile?
Not to mention Lang Qianxing, they are all angry with Qin Lang. They don’t know how his vision is, he doesn’t choose their master!
Qin Lang didn’t bother to care about what the disciples of Tianyun Sect talked about him. He welcomed the three of them into the yard and let Zhong Yi and Bo Yi accept the gift, then he slowly chatted with the three.
Qin Lang’s personality is inherently aloof, and Yun Hua, who is usually active, is now concentrating on acting with a smile on his face trying to distract himself. Yun Sang wants to persuade Qin Lang, but she can’t find a way to speak politely. And their senior brother is still calm, a close gourd1a taciturn person; a complete mystery. The few people sat together and chatted awkwardly.
After drinking tea, playing chess, and chatting awkwardly for a while, they heard a few disciples shouting outside.
The four were in the courtyard while the rest of the disciples were free to move around outside. Liu Chen, the representative of the disciples, quickly came in and reported to Yun Feng: “Master, Baiyun peak’s junior brother died suddenly.”
Yunfeng’s forehead creases into the 川(chuan) characters: “What’s going on?”
They were obviously here to celebrate, as a result, a human life was taken. The faces of several people were not looking good.
Liu Chen: “It’s Baiyun Peak’s junior brother Li Xiu. There is demon qi on his fatal wound.”
Demon qi? Yun Feng looked at Qin Lang, the expressions on Yun Sang and Yun Hua’s faces were both solemn.
The corpse was just outside, so the few people went out of the yard to check it out. Several disciples who followed their master to Qingyun Peak were chatting quietly beside the corpse.
“How come there are demons?”
“Qingyun Peak has a formation, if any demons break in, daozun Yun Jue will know.”
“So it wasn’t a demon?”
“Could it be that someone has grievances with junior brother Li Xiu, after killing him, they wanted to absolve themselves so they deliberately…”
The disciple frowned in suspicion, but before they finished speaking, the eyes of the others all turned to one place.
Qin Lang and the others followed the line of sight of those disciples, it was Lang Qianxing, who was still carrying a pet. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lang Qianxing couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter? What are senior brothers looking at me for?”
Liu Chen replied, “Junior brother Li Xiu is dead.”
Lang Qianxing frowned, not sad or regretful, but a little annoyed, as if he was dissatisfied with how this person died on the eve of his and his master’s ceremony.
Seeing him like this, from the bottom of their hearts, everyone felt that he is even more unworthy of Qin Lang. Such a person who only pleases to be a good boy and doesn’t even feel the slightest sadness for the death of his junior brother who lived under the same roof, they really don’t understand what Qin Lang sees in him. They heard that the Chiyang Sword that Qin Lang cast that attracted the nine thunder tribulations is now in Lang Qianxing’s hands.
Lang Qianxing ignored the jealous and disgusting eyes of the other three peaks’ disciples brothers ans walked to Qin Lang. He handed Maoqui to Qin Lang’s arms, then smiled at Qin Lang, rather heartless.
Yun Feng went up to look at Li Xiu’s body, Yun Sang was also a little dissatisfied with Lang Qianxing, this disciple nephew. Yun Hua turned his gazes away from the two who were standing side by side, but his eyes swept Lang Qianzing coldly.
Li Xiu had a big hole in his heart. The big hole was still oozing out black qi and his blood was dark. The culprit seemed to kill him in one blow and directly scattered his soul, leaving only a corpse.
Liu Chen explained that the body was found behind a boulder behind the peak. He was afraid that it was really done by the demons, so he first set up a barrier on the body to avoid the spread of the demon qi. Some ruthless demons would hide poison in their demon qi, and once someone touched it, they would be poisoned.
Yun Feng nodded and asked who was with Li Xiu last.
Several disciples looked at each other and hesitated, but when they met Yun Feng’s dignified eyes, they shrank their necks and said a person’s name: “It’s… it’s junior brother Lang.”
Another person said, “Junior brother Li Xiu and junior brother Lang had a dispute not long ago…”
Qin Lang frowned slightly and glanced at Lang Qianxing.
Lang Qianxing said calmly: “He has always had a bad relationship with me, and today he made a rude remark. He wanted to break into my master’s spiritual spring so I had a fight with him.”
He was so natural, Yun Sang felt ridiculous when she heard it: “So you beat him to death? Did you pretend to be a demon?”
Lang Qianxing looked at the scrutiny eyes of the crowd, and immediately looked at Qin Lang: “Master, I didn’t do it, he was fine when he left.”
Qin Lang was silent for a moment, then said, “Tianyun sect forbids disciples to fight privately, remember to ask your senior brother for punishment.”
Lang Qianxing breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and answered yes.
Is this shielding? Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They did not expect that daozun Yun Jue, who is Qingyun Peak master, would one day be so selfish. His beloved disciple killed someone and he was just given a frivolous punishment.
How arrogant this Lang Qianxing is, and how indulgent Qin Lang were.
Yun Sang became angry, her eyes widened, and she looked at Qin Lang in disbelief: “Junior brother!”
Qin Lang replied to her lightly: “Qianxing said, it’s not him.”
“Yun Jue, when did you become so indifferent between right and wrong?” Yun Sang was annoyed. Pointing at Lang Qianxing, she continued, “Let me ask you, you said that you just fought with him and didn’t harm his life, then can someone testify for you?”
Lang Qianxing shook his head and said the truth: “No.”
Qin Lang took a step forward, stood in front of Lang Qianxing, looked at Yun Sang, and also looked at the others, and said coldly, “Can someone prove that he did it?”
The disciples did not dare to say a word.
Yun Sang really felt that Qin Lang seemed like a demon member for Lang Qianxing. She did not give in at all: “The body was found behind the peak, and Lang Qianxing once fought with him. He is very suspicious. You can’t just rely on his words to decided that he is not involved”
Qin Lang: “I believe him.”
Yun Sang sneered and looked at Qin Lang with complicated eyes, as if saying: Everyone can see that you believe him, but you believe too much, you are being deceived without knowing it.
The atmosphere is a little tense, and seems like gunpowder smoke.
Yun Hua glanced at the corpse, and suddenly said: “The demon qi in the corpse has not yet dissipated, it does not seem to be a disguised method. Junior brother’s Qingyun Peak has a formation all year round. If the demons really enter, it is impossible for him to not know. So…”
His eyes fell on Lang Qianxing without a second thought. He said his guess: “I suspect that there are hidden demons in our Tianyun Sect. They may usually be the same as ordinary people, but secretly they also practiced the demon’s method and worked for the demon race.”
As soon as these words came out, the disciples whispered. Yun Sang also shifted her attention and habitually looked at the expression of her senior brother, wanting to know what he was thinking.
The senior brother closed his eyes, his brows filled with disappointment. It wasn’t known if it was because of Yun Hua’s words that there is a demon spy disciple, or because of something else.
Yun Hua continued: “There are only a few people who came to Qingyun Peak today. Once one has practiced demon skills from the demon race, one will know by looking at the mirror. Like this, it is clear at a glance who is the culprit.”
The disciples nodded and agreed. Daozun Yun Hua was not only careful, but also thoughtful and fair.
They all looked at Yun Feng, waiting for him to nod.
Yun Feng subconsciously looked at Qin Lang again. When he saw Qin Lang nodded, he agreed.
When Yun Sang saw Yun Feng’s actions, she only thought that senior brother was looking at him for the sake of Qingyun Peak, so she didn’t think deeply, but her intuition told her something was a little strange.
Yun Hua took out the clear heart mirror and went to Lang Qianxing with a cold smile in his eyes: “Disciple nephew, prove your innocence, don’t let your master down.”
Lang Qianxing didn’t hesitate, just took a deep look at him and picked up the mirror.
After a while, the mirror that had clearly reflected Lang Qianxing’s face like a sword and axe turned pitch black, nothing could be seen clearly.
Clear heart mirror, a clear mind. If their thoughts are not pure, the mirror surface will only be blurred to varying degrees. The only people who can turn the mirror into black can only be the demons.
The results were shocking, but not unexpected. Lang Qianxing not only killed his fellow disciple, but also joined the demon, which is really shameful.
Looking at Qin Lang again, he was still calm. Could it be that he was confused by what means this shameless person used?
It must be, otherwise how could Qin Lang insist on becoming dao companion with him? Gifting a divine weapon that saved his life twice and thrice, and just now, there’s no bottom line to cover him!
When one thinks about it, it’s terrifying!
Yun Hua retracted the mirror and narrowed his eyes at Lang Qianxing: “Lang Qianxing, are you worthy of Yun Jue?”
Lang Qianxing was not afraid of him at all, but raised the corner of his mouth, raised his chin and said, “Naturally worth it.”
Lang Qianxing’s arrogant attitude was very rude. Two disciples had already taken out their swords, waiting for the orders of several daozun to capture Lang Qianxing at the first moment.
Yun Sang wanted to say who Qin Lang was looking at, but Qin Lang’s face was unbelievably calm, as if he knew this would be the case for a long time, and when she looked at her senior brother, he also looked at Yun Hua in silence, just like Qin Lang.
That’s right, they were all looking at Yun Hua, not Lang Qianxing. Yun Sang finally knew what was strange.
“Junior brother, have you seen it?” Yun Hua asked Qin Lang, “He doesn’t deserve your care. He approached you because of another purpose. Don’t be deceived by him.”
Qin Lang still didn’t say a word, just looked at him.
Yun Hua also realized that something was wrong.
“Uncle master,” Lang Qianxing spoke again, with a very awkward smile on the corner of his mouth, “I don’t have a witness, but I have physical evidence.”
Just as Lang Qianxing finished speaking, Yun Feng suddenly said: “Everyone step back, no one is allowed to come in without my permission.”
Several disciples looked at each other, not daring to ask about their doubts. They could only watch the four daozun and Lang Qianxing enter the courtyard again.
“Senior brother, what’s going on?” Yun Sang couldn’t understand, and asked in a low voice, but Yun Feng didn’t answer her directly.
Qin Lang pat Maoqui in his arms. The little guy’s purring voice indicated that it was in a good mood. It enjoyed it quietly, letting Lang Qianxing take off the chain with a pendant under its neck.
The other three stood by and watched Lang Qianxing put the pendant he took down in Qin Lang’s hand, Qin Lang crushed it, then a cloud appeared in the air.
Of course, this was the surveillance video that Qin Lang had the system recorded. Fortunately, the world also has this kind of time rewinding treasure, otherwise, the evidence to convict Yun Hua would be really hard to find.
The cloud screen is from Maoqui’s point of view. What appears was Lang Qianxing’s feet, there’s no way about it, its master doesn’t like to hold it at all.
Then there were the voices of Lang Qianxing, Zhong Yi, and Bo Yi chatting, and then the voices of the disciples from the other three peaks. Judging from the environment, it should be in the elegant room where Qingyun Peak disciples often stay.
Immediately afterwards, Lang Qianxing came out alone, followed by Li Xiu. Li Xiu mocked Lang Qianxing a few words, mainly saying that Lang Qianxing was lucky, and he would no longer have to worry about his cultivation path after sticking to Qin Lang. He also laughed at whether he was willing to lie under Qin Lang in order to get the resources Qin Lang gave him, like a woman.
Lang Qianxing just warned him to keep his mouth clean, but did not take action.
This cat has been following Lang Qianxing all the time, so later Li Xiu ran to behind the peak and wanted to enter the spiritual spring, the forbidden area, and was taught a lesson by Lang Qianxing. There were also scenes of him being beaten and running away.
Seeing that Lang Qianxing was done with his work, and there was no one else around, the cat pestered Lang Qianxing meowingly. Lang Qianxing was impatient and told it to go to master by himself, saying that he had to prepare for a surprise and had no time so he ignored it.
Surprise? Qin Lang squinted at Lang Qianxing. The latter winked at him, saying nothing.
The cat recognized the road and knew where Qin Lang was, so it returned along the road. As a result, it saw the scene of Li Xiu’s death.
The cat isn’t interested in other people, so the scene was just swept by.
Qin Lang waved his sleeves, and the cloud screen disappeared, but the scene of Li Xiu’s death is believed to be clearly seen by the other three.
Li Xiu hid behind a boulder, took out something from his arms, and then the thing exploded, directly blasting a big hole in his heart, and his soul was sucked by something in an instant, leaving only his face covered with astonishment and shock.
“This…” Yun Sang didn’t know what to say first. For example, what was the thing that Li Xiu took out at the end, such as why Qin Lang would put this kind of treasure around a cat’s neck.
Lang Qianxing looked at Yun Hua, whose face was dark and uncertain, and said provocatively: “Uncle master, was it a little unexpected?”
Yun Hua ignored him and just gave Qin Lang a deep look.
Qin Lang lowered his eyes, took out a strange stone from his storage ring, and then looked up at him: “Senior brother, I am very disappointed in you.”
Yun Feng rubbed his brows and suppressed his anger: “Yun Hua, when did you become like this? They are all disciples of Tianyun Sect!”
“What is it?” Yun Sang couldn’t understand a word.
There seemed to be a layer of frost on Yun Hua’s face, even the spring breeze and warmth from normal times were no longer seen.
Yun Sang jumped on the side in a hurry. Everyone knew it, it felt too bad that she didn’t know.
Qin Lang didn’t like it, and explained to her: “Senior sister, did you see what Li Xiu finally took out? It’s the Soul Destroyer Pagoda.”
Qin Lang miraculously took out another treasure. It was the exquisite little tower that Yun Hua had given away a few months ago, and it was exactly the same as the one that Li Xiu finally took out, but Qin Lang’s pagoda does not have the function of capturing souls. It is just a small toy used to gather spiritual energy.
“This is given to me by senior brother. Although the function is different from the Soul Destroyer Pagoda, the appearance is the same.” Qin Lang was afraid that she still didn’t understand it properly, “The Soul Destruction Pagoda will not explode for no reason, and why does his injury seem to be caused by the demons, that’s because the pagoda had a demon soul in it.”
Yun Sang: “…” Thank you, she has more questions now.
Perhaps Yun Feng couldn’t stand it any longer, so concise and to the point: “Yun Hua colluded with the demons, killed Tianyun Sect’s disciple, and put the blame on disciple nephew Lang.”
In an instant, everything became clear, Yun Sang suddenly looked at Yun Hua, “But…how could Yun Hua do such a thing…”
Yun Hua still just looked at Qin Lang, neither denying nor admitting it.
Lang Qianxing sneered and looked at the delicate little pagoda in Qin Lang’s hand, a little sour: “The exact same pagoda, truly troubled uncle master.”
“Actually, you already plan to attack me in the secret realm, right? The misty forest that we first encountered was a plan of you and that demon, but you didn’t expect master to find me so quickly. So you changed the method again. At the edge of the abyss, you let the demons attract master away and put a fake master next to me to stimulate me. Obviously I should have been swept in by the splitting souls wind, but master came back earlier than you expected.”
“There is danger in the secret realm, and it is normal for a disciple to disappear. Unfortunately, the time is too short, you failed to get rid of me. So after you come back, you have to re-plan. Especially when you see me making a leap toward the master. After the move, master suddenly turned his attitude towards me sharply, and even went to retreat to avoid me. Naturally, you did not miss such a rare opportunity.”
Lang Qianxing laughed again, as if he was just talking to himself: “But, what kind of excuse would make master reluctant to mention me in the future, and even think of me with only anger and disappointment? That’s right, it has something to do with the demon. So, in the name of an elder, you teach me kindly and give me a strange stone.”
Yun Sang had already taken that stone in his hand and studied it. It was an extremely rare heaven crystal rock, a treasure left over from ancient times. As far as she knew, Lang Qianxing was just an ordinary cultivator. He was alone in the Tianyun Sect, and he had only entered the secret realm once. It is unlikely that he would have such a precious stone.
Of course, she believed in Qin Lang. It is impossible that Qin Lang deliberately took out this stone to let Lang Qianxing frame Yun Hua. Then, there seems to be only one possibility left…
“You asked me to take this stone, purify it, and then present it to master to ask for forgiveness from master. For me at the time, this was naturally very tempting, so you expected that I would definitely touch it. Naturally, you make the demons use a trick on it, once touched it will get sucked into my body. That clear heart mirror is proof. Later, it is probably the matter that master wants to hold a grand ceremony with me that stimulates you, other than that, you want to add some more charges to me. You know that Li Xiu is at odds with me. Everytime you come to Qingyun Peak, you always take him with you. Did you tell him this time that I might be from the demon race? You gave him a chance to gain merit, and told him to deliberately quarrel with me, then ran to provoke me from behind and forced me to do it.”
“Hm…” Lang Qianxing tapped his chin with his finger, “Let me guess what you said to Li Xiu, uncle master. You must say that you want him to test me, it’s better to do it. After he starts, find a place with no one and take out that soul destroyer pagoda. You trick him into thinking that if the pagoda reacts or something, then I am. However, he never imagined that there was a demon soul placed in the soul destroyer tower. It has long been set up that he will explode as soon as it is taken it So.…..that’s how he died.”
“The injury is caused by the demons and the proof from the clear heart mirror shows that I am the culprit. Even if master is soft-hearted, it is impossible to be with me again. Is that right, uncle master?”
“This…” Yun Sang looked at the stone in her hand, and then looked at Yun Hua’s face. Her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what to say.
Yun Feng sighed again beside her, and settled down with a hammer: “I was there when disciple nephew Lang was purifying the heaven crystal stone.”
Hearing this sentence, Yun Hua finally shifted his gaze and glanced at Yun Feng.
He obviously didn’t speak, but Yun Feng also knew what he wanted to ask, so he explained: “Yun Jue told me as soon as he came out of the secret realm. At first, I didn’t believe it…”
It’s all summed up in just two sentences. Yun Hua laughed softly, his face turned pale. He looked at Qin Lang steadily, and asked him, “When did junior brother suspect me? Could it be that just because of Lang Qianxing’s few words, do you believe him?”
“No.” Qin Lang looked at him, this thousand-year-old classmate. His expression was still a little moved, stained with a little sadness, “I have seen it.”
Yun Hua squinted at him for a while, then suddenly laughed and muttered to himself, “No wonder.” He saw it for a long time. He looked a little crazy.
From Qin Lang’s eyes, he saw his own reflection. Those eyes were still clear, but they told him that his junior brother had seen him play tricks a long time ago. Maybe at first, his junior brother just thought that it was his old habits, an innocuous prank. Although he doesn’t like it, it doesn’t reach the level of blame yet.
Later, it became more and more excessive, wanton toying with other people’s feelings. Every time he will accept one or two disciples who adore him, in the end, they will fight for his attention.
Yun Hua did this, probably to fill in the emptiness that he had not yet obtained from his junior brother. Or try to make the aloof little junior brother feel jealous on the side and get enlightened sooner. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. He cherished him too much, so he never dared to reveal his sincerity to his junior brother, who still wanted to isolate himself from the world. He was cautious and always expressed his feelings in the most euphemistic way.
Never break the silence, and the silence became extreme.
So, he changed.
Qin Lang: After holding it for a thousand years, who will not change? It’s also stupid, why don’t you make a confession earlier, cry if you’re rejected, and then be a good person, okay?
At the end of the matter, Yun Feng took Yun Hua away and locked him in Tianyun Peak’s Siguo Cliff without saying when he would be allowed to come out.
He did not explain in detail to the disciples, only said that Lang Qianxing was not the culprit. It’s because Yun Hua gave the disciple the Soul Destroyer Pagoda that locked the demons. However, the disciple himself was careless and accidentally opened the Soul Destroyer Pagoda, so he was directly killed by the demon soul in there. Yun Hua felt that it was his responsibility, so he took the initiative to go to Tianyun Peak’s Siguo Cliff to repent, and the return date was uncertain.
Regarding Yun Feng’s official speech, the focus of the disciples was no longer on the cannon fodder junior brother who died suddenly, but went to think about Yun Hua, who did not participate in Qin Lang’s ceremony.
They all make up things in their mind. What Yun Hua did was not the real reason. The real reason is because he doesn’t want to see his junior brother, the person he always thinks of, and someone else wearing red clothes so he went to another place to avoid it.
Oh, what a pitiful person.
The next day, Tianyun sect was still in the same good weather for ten thousand years.
The grand ceremony daozun Yun Jue and his disciple Lang Qianxing on Qingyun Peak was also going on smoothly.
Dao companionship is different from just getting married. The ceremony does not actually have the complexity of marriage from the mortal world. It only requires two people to make an oath under the heavenly dao. After being recognized by the heavenly dao, the two are dao companions. However, since the heavenly dao is the witness, it also means that if one of the two parties violates the oath, the punishment will be punished by the heavenly dao.
So, if someone wants to divorce or betray the other, they are probably doomed.
The deserted Qingyun Peak was lively on the day of the ceremony, but it returned to its usual quietness the next day.
Qin Lang and Lang Qianxing have always been sweet. Qin Lang’s favorability level was also full when he finished his vow with Lang Qianxing at the end of the road.
He also doesn’t know how long this world will be. After all, in this cultivation world, it doesn’t have Lang Qianxing who returned to the demon realm to stir up the situation, so it is quite peaceful. It’s hard to say how long he can live.
Presumably the game mechanic didn’t really want him to stay for 10,000 years.
So, after Yun Hua, who had been staying in Tianyun Peak’s Siguo Cliff suddenly disappeared one day, Qin Lang had a hunch that his end was coming soon.
