Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 149
After Mu Lingyu left, Su Ji and Yun Yi rushed to the mountain gate together.

There is only one road leading to the mountain gate, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians along the way, and there is an endless queue ahead.

People in line seem to have arrived here early.By looking at the clothes of these people, Su Ji felt that there was a huge disparity between the rich and the poor. Some were dressed in luxurious clothes, some were in ragged clothes, some were carried by eight sedan chairs while beating gongs and drums, and some walked thousands of miles in straw sandals. Come……

Yun Yi saw Su Ji's confused look, so he explained: "There are only two kinds of people who go up the mountain today: one is the predestined people who met by the Chanjiao sect by chance, and the other is the wealthy people who have opened up contacts through donating incense. people."

Su Jimao suddenly realized that the village man named "Niuzhu" he met on the boat just now must be the so-called predestined person.

Looking at the slow-moving team, Su Ji asked impatiently, "Yun Yi, don't so many people go up to the mountain to seek Taoism every day?"

Looking at the crowded queue, Yun Yi showed a puzzled look on his face, "Looking at the situation, today should be the day when Kunlun Mountain recruits disciples. But for some reason, there seem to be a lot of people coming this year, almost ten times that of previous years." !"

Su Ji asked puzzledly: "Explanation and teaching has always been strict in accepting apprentices. It is said that a master only accepts two disciples at most, but why openly accept apprentices now?"

Yun Yi said as he walked: "The disciples mentioned by Engong should refer to the disciples who entered the house. Anyone who can become a disciple is a dragon and a phoenix selected from a thousand. And the people who are queuing up the mountain now are all those who strive to become registered disciples." People who are disciples. For example, the Chuanyin Pavilion where I work is full of registered disciples. In Kunlun Mountains, besides the Chuanyin Pavilion, which is responsible for investigating information, there is also the Shanzhen Pavilion, which is responsible for daily life and food, and the Jingxin Pavilion, which is responsible for cleaning.”

Su Ji frowned, and said: "What Chuanyin Pavilion, Shanzhen Pavilion, and Jingxin Pavilion? The names are so nice. To put it bluntly, it is to let some ordinary people help with errands, cooking, and doing chores. Unexpectedly, someone would even do this kind of thing. If you want to rush to do it, I really don't know what they think..."

In the middle of speaking, Su Ji suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and couldn't help looking at Yun Yi.Seeing her momentary expression of loneliness, Su Ji thought that a few years ago, she was like those people, who used to line up in long queues up the mountain to seek Taoism.

Yun Yi lowered her eyes, and said sadly: "Grandmother, not everyone is as extraordinary as you and Miss Mu, who have experienced all kinds of adventures. The vastness of heaven is just a luxury for ordinary people like me. As long as you are lucky I am already satisfied if I can soak up a trace of immortal energy."

Hearing the word "ordinary person", Su Ji couldn't help sighing secretly.How he wished he was an ordinary person.If he was an ordinary person, Hua Rulang, a ten-year-old child, would not worship him as a teacher, nor would he be murdered for saving himself.

Those so-called fortuitous encounters may seem to others to be opportunities for heavenly ascension, but in fact, only Su Ji, who has personally experienced them, can understand the hardships involved.If a person can't even save his apprentice, what's the use of ascending to heaven?
After bowing her head and thinking, Su Ji found that Yun Yi had already been dispersed by the crowd, and she couldn't be found anywhere.

In desperation, Su Ji had no choice but to continue on his way with the team, and finally arrived at the mountain gate in the evening.

When he was about to reach the door, he found that the crowd in front of him suddenly stopped.A group of people surrounded the front, and it was dark from a distance.

Su Ji looked up and saw a teenage Taoist priest in white, kneeling motionless in front of the mountain gate.

The little Taoist priest in white had a haggard face and chapped lips, as if he hadn't had any soup for many days.There were six rotten apples that had lost their moisture on his knees, which were apparently given to him by well-meaning people to satisfy his hunger.But those shriveled apples didn't even have a tooth mark.

A lot of onlookers gathered around, pointing at the little Taoist priest in white and whispering:
"Who is that child? I saw him kneeling here a week ago when he came to offer incense, and he doesn't seem to have even moved now."

"I heard that he is a disciple of the Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain, and he is also a man of teaching. His master, Lianhua Shanren, was severely injured by Shen Hou Jiang Ying who stopped teaching not long ago. This apprentice wants to ask the White Wolf King Dan came to rescue the dying master."

"This child is really a good disciple. The people on Kunlun Mountain are also really good. The White Wolf King died when he returned to Kunlun Mountain. Now that he can use the inner alchemy of a dead person to save a living person, isn't it a meritorious deed?"

"You don't know, Master Chan has only two disciples. The White Wolf King was once Master Chan's favorite, but unfortunately he went astray. Now that his bones are still cold, how can Master Chan give away the inner alchemy casually? Woolen cloth?"

No matter what the surroundings were talking about, the little Taoist priest in white never said a word, knelt motionless, like a rock that had stood there since ancient times.

After listening to the discussion of the people around, Su Ji's expression was serious. He never expected that this little Taoist priest in white came to ask the White Wolf King Neidan to save someone like himself, and the person he wanted to save seemed to be a well-known and benevolent person .

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted:

"Not good! The little Taoist died!"

Su Ji looked up, and saw the little Taoist priest in white finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

The people next to him stretched out their hands to test the breath of the little Taoist priest in white one after another, but they all shook their heads and sighed.Seeing the dead body of a teenage child at the mountain gate, the onlookers all sighed.

Two hours later, seeing that there was not even a single corpse collected on Kunlun Mountain, someone began to shout indignantly:

"How unreasonable! These immortal monks are so cold-blooded and ruthless!"

"It seems that I should stop cultivating immortals, lest I also become a hard-hearted man!"

With that said, the two men carried the little Taoist priest's body down the mountain.

Su Ji watched the body of the little Taoist priest in white pass by, and his heart sank suddenly.The dead little Taoist priest was a man of teaching, and he himself was a crooked way in the eyes of Chanjiao; the person the dead little Taoist priest wanted to save was a good person with profound morals, but what he wanted to save was an ordinary mortal.

Regardless of emotion or reason, the possibility of Su Ji successfully obtaining the inner alchemy is definitely not greater than that of this little Taoist priest in white.It seems that there is really little hope of obtaining the inner alchemy of the White Wolf King in an open and honest manner.If you want to obtain the inner alchemy, you can only make a long-term plan in secret.

When he was frowning, Su Ji felt a hand suddenly press down on his shoulder!

"Little thief! Let's see where you are going! Hand over the jade pendant!"

Su Ji looked back, and it turned out that behind him was the young man in yellow shirt named Yin Jiuyou who was on the boat just now.

"Cousin! Let's ask first before we talk about it." Niu Zhu persuaded, reaching out and trying to remove his cousin's hand from Su Ji's body.

"What else is there to ask!" Yin Jiuyou pressed his hand harder, "There were only six people on the boat just now, and neither of the two boatmen had it on them. He must have stolen it!"

Just as Su Ji was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone take the lead and say:
"My lord, why are you so angry?"

Amidst the voice, a young man in red came lightly, waving a folding fan in his hand.

Su Ji looked up, and saw that the clothes of this young man in red were ten times more gorgeous than Yin Jiuyou's, the calligraphy and paintings on the fan were ten times more expensive than Yin Jiuyou's, and his appearance was also ten times more delicate than Yin Jiuyou's, even so delicate that people felt a bit like a girl.

Yin Jiuyou saw that the young man in red was well-dressed and had an extraordinary demeanor, so he said politely: "This brother came just in time, why don't you come over to comment. This little thief stole the ancient jade pendant passed down from my family, and he still wants to deny it!"

The young man in red smiled lightly and said: "I thought it was a deep hatred, but it turned out to be a trivial matter. It's just a jade pendant, why bother to get angry? If you don't mind, I have a jade pendant here, you can give it to you."

Saying that, the young man in red took off a piece of blood-patterned ruby ​​from his waist, and gently swung it in front of Yin Jiuyou's eyes.

Immediately, Yin Jiuyou's eyes lit up, and he saw that the jade pendant was crystal clear and radiant, even if he took ten pieces of his own jade pendant with ancient patterns, it would not be able to exchange for such a rare treasure!
"Since Xiongtai expresses kindness, it is better to obey than to be respectful."

Just as Yin Jiuyou stretched out his hand to pick up the jade pendant, unexpectedly, the young man in red suddenly withdrew his hand, swayed in front of him, and immediately pointed to Yin Jiuyou's waist and said:

"My lord, isn't the jade pendant on your waist right there?"

Niu Zhu was slightly taken aback, quickly picked up his cousin's jade pendant, and said in astonishment: "Cousin, this is really your jade pendant. I may have misread it just now, and almost wronged a good man!"

The young man in red smiled and said: "Sir, you must keep your eyes open and take care of your things, otherwise the next time you lose it, it may be your head!"

Yin Jiuyou took a breath, and said unwillingly, "These two human monsters are not good people! Cousin, let's go!"

Su Ji next to him had already seen the way, and after the two left, he said to the young man in red:

"Brother Tai helped me a lot, I really don't know how to thank you."

"Stop pretending." The young man in red smiled and said, "Since you have seen my abilities, you must have guessed who I am, right?"

Su Ji said in a deep voice, "You really are Ye..."

Before the word "Linglong" was finished, Ye Linglong quickly pressed her fan against Su Ji's mouth.

Su Ji lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that you disguised yourself as a man and came here for the White Wolf King Neidan?"

"I didn't expect you to be quite smart." Ye Linglong put her fan across her mouth and whispered, "I want to make a deal with you. There are many people here, so let's take a step to talk."
