Mortal Bones

Liu Zijin looked at the bowl of white rice in front of her, stunned, and then recalled what Xu Taiping said to her, how dare you die.

Then she reached out to pick up the rice bowl, picked up the chopsticks, and put the rice into her mouth while shedding tears.

"Senior Sister Zijin, are you coming down the mountain after the Seven Peaks Competition?"

Xu Taiping asked while watching Liu Zijin eat.

"Um."

Liu Zijin nodded vigorously.

"Originally, I was supposed to represent the fifth peak in the Seven Peaks Competition."

She looked a little sad.

Xu Taiping nodded, then let out a long breath and said:

"After I watch the competition between the senior brothers that day, I will come to see you off. If I come late, please wait for me, senior sister Zijin."

Liu Zijin took a deep look at Xu Taiping, then shook his head and said, "Taiping, you don't have to go to this extent to meet my sister by chance."

She had a vague sense that Xu Taiping was planning to do something, but she wasn't sure. No matter what, she didn't want to implicate him.

Xu Taiping shook his head and said:

"Now that I think about it, if Sister Qingmei hadn't informed me of the weakness of that evil spirit, I might have died in Qingzhu Residence three years ago. A drop of water's kindness can be repaid by a spring, let alone a life-saving kindness. ”

Three years ago, if Liu Qingmei hadn't told him about the weakness of the ghosts' fear of alcohol, he would never have been able to win the battle with the ghosts.

…

On the way down the mountain.

"Taiping, have you decided?"

Fairy Lingyue's voice sounded in Xu Taiping's mind.

"Decided."

Xu Taiping nodded secretly and replied in his mind.

"Why do you still want to help those sisters?"

Fairy Lingyue asked again.

"I'm not trying to help anyone."

Xu Taiping shook his head, then raised his head to look at Senior Brother Qingxiao who was waiting for him in the pavilion ahead, and said in a very calm tone: "Although out of sight is out of mind, as long as you don't think about it, you can pretend that nothing happened. , but after seeing Senior Sister Zijin, whether I open my eyes or close my eyes, I can still see Lu Chen’s disgusting face. It’s hard for me to clear my eyes and calm my heart.”

Hearing this, Fairy Lingyue smiled and said lightly: "Then he will be punished."

"Junior brother."

At this time, Qingxiao below also saw Xu Taiping.

"Second senior brother."

Xu Taiping walked away quickly.

"How was the chat?"

Qing Xiao asked Xu Taiping casually.

"Ken is ready to eat."

Xu Taiping said.

"Then Master Wufeng has to thank you very much."

Qingxiao smiled.

"The Master of the Five Peaks values ​​Senior Sister Zijin so much, yet he fails to keep her on the mountain?"

Xu Taiping asked with some confusion.

"The Master of Wufeng Peak is a loyal man and doesn't like sect disputes. And Lu Chen's father, Lu Zimu, is a capable general under the master. His status may seem inferior to that of the Master of Wufeng Peak, but in fact, he speaks better than the Master of Wufeng Peak." Peak Master is more effective.”

Qing Xiao said helplessly.

"The leader is so nepotistic, why don't the peaks object?"

Xu Taiping asked curiously.

This was the first time he inquired about the internal fighting within the sect.

"Because he is very strong. No peak master under Qingxuan Sect's junior master uncle can catch his sword."

Qing Xiao said in a very serious tone.

"Furthermore, now that Qingxuan has declined, the other eight palaces of the Nine Palaces still respect Qingxuan so much. One of the reasons is because of the young master uncle, and the other is because of the sword of Master Zhou. This is why many peak masters do not I like his style, but there is no other reason why.”

He then added.

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly felt enlightened.

He thought: "In the final analysis, in this world of cultivation, the strong are respected."

Inexplicably, his sense of urgency about the speed of his cultivation increased.

"You and I can talk about these things, but don't mention them to others."

Qingxiao reminded Xu Taiping again at this time.

"certainly."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"By the way, the Seven Peaks Competition will be here soon, and one of the competitions in this Seven Peaks Competition is the Sword Formation. How about you come and make up the numbers then?"

Qingxiao asked Xu Taiping.

"But senior brother, I haven't learned the sword yet."

Xu Taiping said worriedly.

"You only need to guard an insignificant formation. It doesn't matter whether you use a sword or not."

Qingxiao smiled.

"In that case, I should be fine."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"Then I will enter your name into the competition roster first."

Qing Xiao smiled and nodded.

"By the way, senior brother, do you know where Lu Chen was sent down the mountain?"

Xu Taiping suddenly asked Qingxiao.

"I don't know exactly where it is, but Elder Lu has a good relationship with the master of Nanming Pavilion, so he should place Lu Chen in Nanshan, which is under the jurisdiction of Nanming Pavilion."

Qing Xiao replied casually.

"Why do you ask this?"

He asked Xu Taiping with some curiosity.

"I was just asking casually."

Xu Taiping smiled and excused himself.

Qingxiao nodded without thinking much, but reminded Xu Taiping again when he was about to go down the mountain:

"The Peak Master recently found an elder to teach you how to use a sword. Please pay attention in the past few days. He may come to you."

"good."

Xu Taiping nodded, but felt a little strange in his heart:

"The Peak Master actually specially found an elder to teach me swordsmanship?"

…

A few days later.

Qiyuexuan.

"Xu Taiping, you are really not a human being. I flew for several days and nights, and you gave me half a glass of gentian wine?"

In the stone building in the backyard, Bai Yu poked the half-cup of gentian wine on the table with his wings, his face filled with indignation.

"Do you want to drink? If you don't drink, I will give you peace."

Xu Taiping, who was sitting across the table, made a gesture to take back the half glass of wine.

"Don't even think about it!"

Before Xu Taiping could take the glass away, Bai Yu used his wings to protect the glass, then picked up the glass in his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.

"Comfortable!"

After drinking half the glass of gentian wine, Bai Yu screamed like an old drunkard.

"Did you find it?"

Xu Taiping asked Bai Yu with his chin supported on his hands.

"Hey, guess what."

Bai Yu smiled mischievously.

"Sister Lingyue, this kid told me a few days ago that you..."

"Stop it!"

Halfway through Xu Taiping's words, Bai Yu covered his mouth with his wings.

"What?"

Fairy Lingyue emerged from the gourd at this time.

"I want to say that I found that guy Lu Chen's residence at the foot of the mountain!"

Before Xu Taiping could speak, Bai Yu rushed to answer.

"where?"

Xu Taiping no longer smiled playfully with it.

"Nanshan, Hedu Ridge, Fengxiao Villa."

Bai Yu didn't sell it anymore.

Xu Taiping immediately took out the map.

"It's not far from Qifeng."

He found the location of Fengxiao Villa on the map.

"Yes, if I fly at my current speed, I can reach it in an hour at most."

Bai Yu nodded.

"Have you taken note of the situation inside the village?"

Xu Taiping asked again.

"It's all in my head."

Bai Yu poked his head with his wings, and then gave Xu Taiping a wise look.

"However, if my perception is correct, then Lu Chen is surrounded by two demonic beasts of considerable strength. They should both be at the demon king level. Although they are far inferior to the Peacock King, their auras are not weak either."

It then added.
