Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 177
In the morning, after the rain, the sky cleared.

With the moist wind blowing on his face, Ji Gongyan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he woke up suddenly!

"I don't kneel!"

Ji Gongyan exclaimed and sat up suddenly!

He opened his eyes to gather himself, looked around nervously, and found himself lying in a strange room.The surrounding tables and chairs are neat and tidy, and the teacups and teapots are placed in an orderly manner, which looks meticulous.

What is this place?
Ji Gongyan looked blankly, looked around, and saw a banner hanging on the wall, with eight large characters written on it:

Demons are prospered by people, and prostitution should be eliminated.

He looked at it for a while, and a nightmare-like image suddenly flashed in his mind. He suddenly remembered the scary fox figure he saw before falling asleep, but he couldn't remember what happened afterwards.

At this time, the voice of two people talking came from outside the door.

"Junior Sister Jiang Ling, this is the wing room for the distinguished guests. Non-students are not allowed to approach, otherwise they will be severely punished!"

"I know you better here. If you are afraid, go back by yourself. I can go anywhere by myself."

Ji Gongzhen gently got up and got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked carefully towards the door.

The door was ajar, and a ray of sunlight came in, bringing warmth, but his hands were cold.The two small fists clenched tighter and tighter, and her heart beat faster and faster.He walked quietly to the door, leaned on the door and looked out, and saw a red-clothed girl standing outside the door, holding a folding fan, and the old man next to him was holding a broom, and said incessantly:

"Junior Sister Jiang Ling, this year's Qilin Yun trial has never encountered such a situation in the past years, not to mention who will be selected as the disciple of Chanjiao in the end, which is related to the future successor of Chanjiao. Chanjiao will definitely make a decision with the elders again and again. , I’m afraid there won’t be any results within ten days and a half months. Junior Sister, please stay calm and come back with me and wait a little longer.”

"I've been waiting for three days, and I don't want to wait any longer!" Jiang Ling pinched his waist with one hand, and said impatiently to the old man, "And... who are you? Can you stop following me!"

The old man showed a hurt expression, "I am your senior brother, Lu Renjia from Jingxin Pavilion. I also cleaned the room for you. Don't you remember me?"

Jiang Ling frowned and said, "There are so many handymen in Jingxin Pavilion, how can I remember all of them? You'd better go and sweep your floor, don't find you everywhere."

The old man heard the sound and had no choice but to leave angrily.

Ji Gongyan's nose itched and he sneezed!
While he was rubbing his nose, Jiang Ling had already opened the door!

Jiang Ling's red clothes were particularly conspicuous among the white-clothed disciples. Ji Gongyan recognized her at a glance as the registered disciple who participated in the Qilin Yun Examination that day. Like Jiang Ling, he also wanted to know the result of Qilin Yun's test.

"So it's you." Jiang Ling saw the current crown prince standing in front of him, and didn't intend to salute him, but just saw an ordinary child.

Ji Gongzhen didn't care, and said straight to the point: "Can you take me with you?"

"No." Jiang Ling refused without thinking, "I just got rid of an old ghost, but I don't want to be entangled by another kid."

Ji Gongyan pouted, "If you don't take me there, I'll tell Daoist Chai about your sneaking here!"

Jiang Ling rolled his eyes, clenched the fan slightly, and suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted: "Look! There is a big snake in the sky!"

Ji Gongyan immediately turned and looked up curiously.

Jiang Ling's eyes flashed, and the fan moved towards the back of his little head...

"What are you doing!" Ji Gongyan turned his head suddenly, holding his head with both hands, "You want to hit me on the head? It's not that easy! I can hide Grand Master Ji Fu's ruler, let alone you with a mere fan!"

Jiang Ling raised her brows upside down, thinking that this kid is really difficult to deal with, but right now it's not easy to knock him out forcibly, nor can she hurt him, so she had to take him along with her.

The two of them headed north all the way, passing a tall stone arch, which was big enough for a ten-foot giant to walk through with its head held high.

Ji Gongzhen looked up, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation!
Jiang Ling turned a blind eye, as if he was already familiar with everything around him, he walked out through the door.Ji Gongyan hurriedly followed her footsteps.

After stepping out of the stone arch and continuing to walk several hundred steps, the two came to a cliff.Ji Gongzhen stopped and looked into the distance in surprise, only to see the fairy mist in the distance ahead, as if in another world, a white stone bridge spanned both sides of the cliff, like a white dragon lying on the clouds.

Facing the long white stone bridge, Jiang Ling bowed respectfully and walked up slowly.

Ji Gongzhen ran up the stone bridge excitedly, looking left and right, feeling as if she was stepping on soft white clouds.

However, just after walking a few steps, the white cloud under his feet suddenly drifted away, and the bridge suddenly lit up, revealing an abyss.Thinking that if he accidentally fell, he would die without a place to bury him, he was so scared that he suddenly hugged Jiang Ling!
Jiang Ling was slightly taken aback, although he said that men and women were not close to each other, but Nian Ji Gongzhen was still just a child, so he didn't care, and let him walk forward with her in his arms.

Just halfway through, a small cloud floated over, and it started to rain on Ji Gongxuan's head, instantly dousing him into a little drowned rat.

Jiang Ling chuckled, casually conjured up an oil-paper fan, propped it on his head, and said with a smile:
"This bridge is disgusting, and it rains all over it every time you encounter rude strangers walking up it. You try to salute it."

Ji Gongwen bowed respectfully in all directions of the long bridge.

After a while, a gust of warm wind blew from the bridge, drying the rain-soaked clothes in an instant, leaving Ji Gongzhen stunned.

"This bridge is called Wind and Rain Bridge. It has been imbued with spirituality in the mountains and has become a spirit for thousands of years. If you offend it, the next time Lin Zai will be on his body, it may not be rain." Jiang Ling put away the oil-paper fan.

The two walked down the Hongqiao and walked another hundred steps. From a distance, they saw a shiny plaque with three big characters "Yuxu Palace" written on it.

Facing the ancestral court of teaching and learning, Ji Gongzhen stopped again.

The surrounding green hills are green, and the tranquility is like a mirror. From time to time, there are white cranes flying past, circling in the air, which is admirable.

Jiang Ling seemed to understand what he was thinking, with a smile on his face, seeing that there was no one around, he allowed him to look at it for a while.

Arriving in front of the palace unimpeded all the way, the two couldn't help but feel surprised, only to see that the gate was closed tightly, and there was no one guarding it, not even a sweeper.

Jiang Ling waved his hand lightly.

Ji Gongyan understood it, and followed her to the door, only hearing the sound of two people talking from inside the hall, as if they were talking about something.

Jiang Ling recognized that one of them was Chai Song's voice:
"I've been thinking about it for a few days, and I still think it's not right."

"What's wrong?"

"Yu Hongzhi is your original disciple. You accepted her son as your disciple. I have nothing to say. But you should know better than me what the origins of the others are. Now the time for you to cross the catastrophe has come, and the Queen Mother of the West's birthday banquet is coming soon." , there are many affairs in the church. Why do you bother to make trouble for yourself at this time?"

"The calamity is God's will, even if you can hide for a while, you can't hide forever."

"Even if you treat everyone equally, you can't do it like this!" Chai Song's tone became more and more intense, "Chanjiao accepts disciples rather than lack. In the past 200 years, the disciples of Chanjiao have no more than two disciples. Even the former Jiang Taigong only You have accepted four apprentices, but you want to accept five at one go!"

Jiang Ling and Ji Gongyan looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
