Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 251
After an unknown period of time, the dazzling light dimmed.

The three of them slowly opened their eyes, and found that the surrounding scenery had taken on a new look, and there was a familiar scene in front of them.

Jiang Ling rubbed his eyes, looked around and said, "This is Dongfang Kitchen...Kunlun Mountain?"

Niu Zhu murmured: "We... are back again?"

Su Ji felt very strange. This is a place specially used to cultivate the cooking skills of Shanzhen Pavilion disciples. In the past, they would smell burnt or the smell of dishes.However, now the smell here is very weak, almost tasteless.

Walking through one stove after another, Su Ji found soup pots sitting on five of them.The soup in each pot has dried up, and only half of the pot is left with rotting vegetable leaves.Next to it, there is a piece of Eight Immortals and six chairs. The table is full of large pots and small bowls. Basically, only half of the vegetables and rice in each bowl are eaten.

Apparently, the person who used to eat at this table left in a hurry...

Niu Zhu was full of confusion, and asked in doubt: "It's strange...it should be very lively at this time of day, why is there no one here today?"

"Could it be that this is an illusion again?" Jiang Ling said, looking at Su Ji.

"It's not an illusion." Su Ji said decisively: "I can be sure of this. Except for the first formation guarded by Ji Lao, the other ten formations are definitely not illusions."

Niu Zhu's expression suddenly sank, and he said sadly: "It's not an illusion, those things... all really happened..."

At this moment, a burst of cicadas suddenly sounded outside the window!
Su Ji opened the window, and the scorching sun shone on his face, bringing a wave of heat.

The expressions of the three people began to change at the same time, remembering that it was still spring when they left, but it turned into summer when they came back.

Su Ji opened his eyes slightly, stared blankly at the copper plate in his hand, and murmured: "Every time we use the copper plate, time is also passing by, but we don't feel it."

The three looked at each other and fell into silence.

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, the door of the Oriental Kitchen was kicked open!

Immediately afterwards, a young Taoist priest in a yellow shirt broke into the door. He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and shouted hurriedly: "Senior Brother! I found out the remnants of teaching! Go and inform General Yang!"

After the young Taoist finished speaking, another Taoist in yellow shirt rushed in from outside the door. Seeing the three people in the door, he quickly shrank his head back.

Jiang Ling closed his eyes slightly, and rushed out with a stride, knocking out the young Taoist priest who was speaking!
Su Ji rushed out the door, grabbed the Taoist priest in yellow who wanted to report, and asked sharply, "Who are you, how dare you break into Kunlun Mountain?"

The Taoist priest in the yellow shirt seemed to be older than the fainted young Taoist priest. Instead of showing panic, he said with a little pride: "I am a member of the Western religion. Now the entire Kunlun Mountains are surrounded by us! Run away!" No! Hurry up and get caught!"

"Western religion?"

Su Ji, Niu Zhu, and Jiang Ling all looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

"Say it!" Jiang Ling grabbed the Taoist priest in yellow by the collar, and asked, "Who ordered you? Is it that old yellow face?"

"Hmph, even if you kill me, don't force me to say a word!"

The Taoist priest in yellow shirt spoke extremely resolutely, his eyes remained motionless.

"Want to die?" Jiang Lingxiu frowned, and said angrily, "I'll help you!"

After finishing speaking, she pulled out the claw dagger from Su Ji's waist, and stabbed at the Taoist priest in yellow!

However, this stab didn't really hit the Taoist priest in yellow shirt, but stopped less than an inch away from the eyeball!

The temples of the Taoist priest in yellow were blown up by a strong gust of saber wind, and he remained motionless!

Niu Zhu gasped. If Jiang Ling exerted a little force, the man's eyeball would be pierced with a knife.A normal person would subconsciously run away from such a punch.However, this Taoist priest in yellow didn't even blink his eyelids, nor did he move his head.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Jiang Ling asked.

The yellow-shirted Taoist closed his eyes and said with a satisfied face, "If I die, I will be able to go to the Western Paradise."

"Good idea!" Jiang Ling yelled angrily, and knocked out the Taoist priest in yellow with the back of his knife.

All around fell silent.

Niu Zhu looked at Su Ji, then at Jiang Ling, as if asking what to do next?
Jiang Ling walked out of the Oriental Kitchen, walked around the outside carefully, and when he came back, his face was extremely solemn.

Su Ji knew without asking, the situation outside must be exactly the same as that yellow-shirted Taoist priest said.

The three looked at each other, none of them knew what happened.No one knows why Kunlun Mountain became what it is now.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

There was a faint knocking sound.

Su Ji followed the sound and found that it came from a closed cabinet.

Jiang Ling turned his head to look, and felt that the cabinet looked familiar, and remembered that he had once hid in it once before.

Su Ji held the horned dagger tightly, walked over lightly, and opened the cabinet door suddenly!

Niu Zhu was slightly taken aback, and saw a person in a yellow Taoist uniform curled up in the cupboard.The clothes on the man were originally white, but because of cooking for a long time, the clothes were covered with yellow oil stains, basically turning into the color of an oil rag.

"Prince Huang Niu?" Niu Zhu asked in surprise.

Su Ji watched for a while before recognizing the identity of this person.Because the current Huang Niudao has a beard all over his face, he has lost a lot of weight compared to the last time he saw him.He was usually enthusiastic, always chattering non-stop like fried beans, but now he was listless, his face was haggard, his lips were chapped, and he didn't say a word.

Niu Zhu filled him with a bowl of water and asked, "Daoist Huang Niu, how long have you been hiding here?"

Daoist Huang Niu opened his mouth to drink water, choked and coughed a few times, panting: "I took a bigu pill before hiding, and now I feel very hungry, which means I have been hiding for at least a month."

"What happened on the mountain?" Jiang Ling asked hurriedly.

Daoist Huang Niu looked at Jiang Ling and said, "Emperor Zhou fell ill and passed away. The first thing Ji Gongyan did after succeeding to the throne was to personally come to teach and ask you to propose marriage. He has been guarding Kunlun Mountain waiting for you to come back. If you don't agree For this marriage, he will abolish the teaching of interpretation and change the Western religion as the state religion."

Jiang Ling bit his lip and asked, "Chai Shouzuo, and Qiyao Cave Master, where are they now?"

Daoist Huang Niu sighed: "Ji Gongyan brought Zhaohu, Yang Ni, Li Hongxi, three generals, and many strange people from the Western religion this time. Both Chai Shouzuo and Qiyao Cave Master were suppressed. Was thrown into prison. Chanjiao is facing an unprecedented catastrophe, and now only the three of you are the ones who slipped through the net, only the three of you..."

Jiang Ling frowned and said, "Chai Song is kind to Yang Ni, but he actually attracted the Western Sect, and will revenge for his kindness?"

The three of them looked solemn and bowed their heads in silence for a long time.

Su Ji's words broke the silence, "Not only are there three left, but also the fourth brother! He will come back to us when he promises a three-year agreement!"

A gleam of light flashed in Jiang Ling's eyes, and he asked Daoist Huangniu, "Is Father Guoshi here?"

Daoist Huang Niu replied: "Father Guo Shi didn't come, but his son Guo Han came and is currently stationed in Jingxin Pavilion."

After saying these words, Daoist Huang Niu seemed to have exhausted all his energy and swallowed his last breath.

Su Ji thought at first that he just passed out from hunger, but after careful inspection, he found that the back of Daoist Huang Niu was pierced by a sword, and the dripping blood had already condensed into black, and he should have died long ago.

Jiang Ling lowered his head sadly, and said, "Blame me...it's all my fault...it's me who hurt everyone..."

Niu Zhu comforted: "Senior sister, I can't blame you for this matter, those bad guys must have planned it long ago."

Su Ji pondered for a moment, and speculated: "Think about it, the other party is an expert that even Chai Song can't handle. If the three of us stayed in Kunlun at that time, we would have been caught too. Maybe Chai Song had foreseen this catastrophe What happened, let us break into the Twelve Spiritual Platforms of Interpretation and Teaching, and intentionally drive us away."

Niu Zhu became more and more confused: "But, why didn't Chai Shouzuo make this matter clear in advance, and insisted on such a big circle? There is also the last black kit given to us by Riyao Cave Master, and the cloth inside it says ' What do you mean by give up one and ask for two?"

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ling sighed: "Don't think about it if you don't understand it. Let's go find the fourth child first, and we will understand many things by ourselves."

With the help of Jiang Ling's hiding technique, the three of them disappeared, avoiding the eyes of the Western sect disciples and walking all the way, and finally stopped in the woods outside Jingxin Pavilion.

Looking around, Jiang Ling saw many Western believers guarding the Jingxin Pavilion from a distance, and said with a look of distress: "There are strict guards there, and there are forbidden guards, how do we get in?"

Su Ji worried: "Baihe's sound transmission can't transmit that far, and we don't know how to transmit sound for thousands of miles. How can we let Fourth Junior Brother know that we are outside?"

Niu Zhu said: "Senior sister, why don't you use the old method, go invisible and knock them out one by one."

"Stupid cow!" Jiang Ling knocked him on the head, and said: "My original fan was given to the fourth brother. The broken golden scale fan is also broken. Now I can only knock them unconscious with my fist, isn't that To startle the snake?"

Niu Zhu rubbed his head, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I have another idea. Let's wait near the hut, the fourth junior brother will always go there conveniently."
