Chapter 1 Hidden Worries

Zhang Xiaofan looked at the middle-aged scribe in front of him, that is, the "ghost king" who is the confidant of today's right path, and his mind was in chaos. These days, he has had small doubts about his past beliefs from time to time, which are actually rooted in the dialogue in the tea stall under the mulberry Mountain.

Now, seeing the old friend again, this mood is really complicated, which almost makes him forget the situation here and now.

But even if he forgets, the people next to him will not forget.

Xiao Zhou reached out and wiped the blood from his mouth, barely stood up, and whispered to Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Linger, "This man is too high to be invincible. I'll drag him. You two go quickly!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and inserted the "seven-star sword" that had been slightly vibrating upside down in the rock wall, as if he had been summoned by him. He broke the wall with a sound and flew back to his hand.

The ghost king looked at Xiao Zhou, nodded, still with a smile on his face, and said, "With your Taoism, it seems that the young disciples under the Qingyunmen will be led by you. Unexpectedly, in addition to Zhang Xiaofan, Qingyunmen also has talents like you. It's good, good!"

Zhang Xiaofan was shocked, but found that his senior sister Tian Linger and Xiao Zhou were looking at each other. His face was a little hot for a moment, but he didn't know what to say.

Xiao Zhou took a deep breath and took a step forward. The seven-star sword in his hand lit up, but the ghost king did not move. He just stood there and looked at him with a smile. Xiao Zhou knew that this man was actually the strongest enemy he had encountered in his life, but there were brothers and sisters in the same family behind him. In any case, he could not abandon the war and run away. He only hoped that he could hold him back and let the two brothers could go first.

Unexpectedly, he just wanted to be lucky to use the sword. Suddenly, his heart was fluttering. He poured it up and couldn't stand it any longer. He sprayed a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Linger were shocked and rushed forward to hold him. Xiao Zhou's face was pale, knowing that he was shocked by the ghost king, the meridians were damaged, and he could no longer cast spells. He was shocked. Half of him knew that he was in a desperate situation, and the other half was terrible about the way of the ghost king. I'm afraid it would be difficult to estimate the harm to the right path in the future.

The ghost king looked at him and suddenly said, "You are trying to fight, but you want to hold me for a while so that you two can escape from the same door?"

Xiao Zhou snorted and didn't answer, but Tian Linger stood up, stood in front of him, and said angrily, "Demon outsider, don't think you are proud if you are more high. I'm not afraid of you!"

Zhang Xiaofan was shocked. Just now, the Ghost King hurt Xiao Zhou with one blow. No one can see that he is extremely good, and the three of them together may not be his opponent. Seeing that Tian Linger was not afraid of heaven and earth, he was a little worried. He pulled her forward and motioned Tian Linger not to be too impulsive.

Tian Linger hasn't reacted yet, but this move has fallen into the eyes of the Ghost King and Baguio. Biyao's face was gloomy, and she snorted coldly. She looked at Tian Linger, then at Zhang Xiaofan, and suddenly said, "Zhang Xiaofan, this is the senior sister Tian Linger you have been talking about, right?"

Tian Linger and Xiao Zhou were both surprised. Xiao Zhou frowned and said, "Brother Zhang, do you know their father and daughter?"

Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a long time and whispered, "Yes."

At this time, Tian Linger suddenly shouted and said, "Ah! I recognized that you were the demon witch who sneaked over that night. Later, we chased you to the island outside, saying that you were looking for Xiaofan..."

In the middle of her words, she suddenly stopped, just staring at Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan is confused. In fact, for a long time, what he has been most afraid of is this kind of scene. Now it has really appeared, but he still doesn't know how to deal with it.

The ghost king stood there and saw that Zhang Xiaofan's expression was complicated, but he still smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, I said goodbye to the empty mulberry mountain that day. Are you doing these days?"

Zhang Xiaofan was upset and ignored him. Xiao Zhou frowned, and he was really puzzled. Seeing that the ghost prince's father and daughter looked ambiguous with this brother, the relationship between them was probably very unusual. It's just that Qingyunmen has strict rules, and it is strictly forbidden to interact with people in the devil's way. I just don't know what kind of relationship this Brother Zhang has with the two of them. Don't violate the rules, which is very bad.

But at this moment, after all, it's not the time to ask questions. The three of them are still in the Jedi. Xiao Zhou reluctantly restrained his mind and turned to face the ghost king. He was about to speak, but the ghost king looked at him and suddenly took the lead and said, "You have strong luck and secretly put your spiritual power A personal opportunity?"

Xiao Zhou's body was shocked, and his face was like ashes. Unexpectedly, the ghost king's mind was so meticulous. With his Taoism, coupled with his precautions in advance, he and others were afraid that he would be unreasonable.

Unexpectedly, the ghost king smiled and said, "You don't have to be disappointed. I don't mean to embarrass you."

"What?" Xiao Zhou and Tian Linger said strangely at the same time. Zhang Xiaofan also looked at him with a surprised face.

The ghost king looked at Biyao, then turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaofan, and smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, under the dead spirit of Kongsang Mountain that day, you also have true feelings for Yaoer, the same life and death..."

In the middle of his words, Zhang Xiaofan's face had changed, and he felt that Xiao Zhou and Tian Linger next to him had looked at him with strange eyes. As soon as he was anxious, he was about to say, "You, you..."

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan looked at Baguio's eyes, but in her bright eyes, there was a little sadness. Suddenly, he remembered the scene of the stormy night, when heaven and earth were killed, but she was the only one who accompanied him to suffer. His deep heart was inexplicably soft, but he could no longer say this.

And the words of the ghost king still continued: "And on that day, you were more open to Yao'er and resolved the knot of our father and daughter in the past ten years, which can be said to be kind to me." He smiled and said, "Looking at you today, I'll let the three of you go. It's just that in this way, when you return to Qingyun in the future, you must be blamed by those old guys who don't distinguish right from wrong. Why don't you enter my holy religion? I will definitely value you well, and you can also live together with Yao'er, won't you..."

"Sit!" He stopped shouting, but Zhang Xiaofan couldn't stand it any longer. He pointed to the ghost king and shouted, "Come and kill me!" Even if I die, I won't join your magic religion!"

Tian Linger was relieved and clapped her hands, "Well said, Xiao Fan."

But Xiao Zhou next to him glanced at Zhang Xiaofan faintly, but still didn't let go of his eyebrows.

The ghost king shook his head with a smile and said, "That's all up to you. Anyway, it will be a long time. Take your time to think about it!"

After saying that, he pulled Baguio and didn't stop. The two flew out of the cave.

In mid-air, Biyao suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan looked back at her, and her angry heart was stunned again.

Xiao Zhou stood aside and looked at his eyes, but his eyebrows frowned more tightly.

The ghost father and daughter soon disappeared into the darkness. After a moment, the noise outside suddenly became loud, as if the people in the right path had suddenly suffered some kind of raid.

Soon after, the roar and the wind was shrill, and it seemed that many people flew into the sky together.

I only heard the strong voice of the Cangsong Taoist, which moved the four fields and said, "Who do you respect? The Taoism is so profound. Why don't you dare to come down and compete with the poor Taoist?"

This was obviously said to the ghost king, but only the wind roared, but no one answered. It was thought that the ghost king and Biyao were far away.

In the cave, it was also quiet at this moment. Tian Linger looked at Xiao Zhou's pale face and said with some concern, "Brother Zhou, your health doesn't matter! Er, I don't know which uncle you are under?

Zhang Xiaofan looked at Xiao Zhou's shaky look, hurriedly ran over and held him. Xiao Zhou looked at him, and Zhang Xiaofan felt a little uncomfortable and lowered his head.

Xiao Zhou sighed gently, smiled, and said to the two of them, "Don't call me Brother Zhou. This is my pseudonym mixed into the demon religion. I'm not surnamed Zhou."

Tian Linger said "Ah" and said, "Then you are..."

Xiao Zhou smiled and frowned at the same time. It seemed that there was a pain somewhere, but then it returned to normal. He smiled and said, "I am Tongtianfeng, a disciple of Dao Xuan's mentor, surnamed Xiao, and my name is Yicai."

"What, are you Brother Xiao Yicai?"

Xiao Zhou, that is, Xiao Yi, nodded with a smile.

Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Linger looked at each other face to face. This name is really a long-time name for them.

※※※

The night is deep, and the night sky on the Liubo Mountain is shining with countless bright stars, shining on the world.

In a secret place, the ghost king walked out slowly and saw Baguio standing alone on a hillside, looking at the direction of Liubo Shandong.

It is the place where people live in the right way.

The ghost king sighed gently, walked behind her and whispered, "Yao'er, you should be careful of your body in the middle of the night."

Baguio moved, turned around silently, forced a smile, and said, "Yes, thank you, Dad."

The ghost king looked at her and suddenly said, "Are you thinking about Zhang Xiaofan?"

Baguio's face turned red, but she didn't say anything.

The ghost king showed kindness on his face. He patted his daughter on the shoulder, took two steps forward, and said, "See him today. I found that since he went to the Fire Dragon Cave with you once, it seems that he has taken another step forward."

Baguiu was stunned for a moment, with some joy on her face, and said, "Really?"

The ghost king nodded and said, "I guess that he probably understood a little after reading the first volume of the Book of Heaven." Speaking of this, he turned his head and smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the general outline of the first volume of the heavenly book you brought to me from the blood hole. After reading it, it is very helpful for the practice of Taoism."

Baguio said happily, "Really?"

The ghost king nodded and said, "Yes, there are four volumes of the Book of Heaven, and there is a fifth volume in the legend, but no one has ever read it. However, since ancient times, four volumes have been passed down in our holy religion. Unfortunately, most of them have been lost. Our ghost king can have today's scenery by the ancestor of the previous generation of ghost kings who accidentally got the second volume of the Book of Heaven three hundred years ago.

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "It's just that in the second volume, although the Taoism is profound and mysterious, the general outline text and the key formula are closely following the first volume. Therefore, for hundreds of years, I, the Ghost King Sect, can only share the world with the three sects of Hehuan School, Changsheng But in the future, hey hey..."

Baguio smiled and said, "Then I want to congratulate my father."

The ghost king nodded with a smile and said, "This time you really made great contributions. Originally, I sent you to the Kongsangshan Blood Refining Hall. In addition to letting you experience it, I just wanted to find out if the black-hearted old man could leave any magic weapons, but I brought back the book of heaven, which is more than ten times better than any magic weapon.

Baguio smiled, but her face suddenly dimmed.

The ghost king looked at his daughter for a long time and suddenly laughed.

Buio woke up, blushed, and said anguly, "Dad..."

The ghost king shook his head with a smile and said, "Why are you so worried?"

Biyao gritted her teeth and said, "Dad, you didn't see it today. Zhang Xiaofan, that dead guy looked like his sister Tian Linger, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

The ghost king said, "What are you afraid of? I'm afraid that he is infatuated and has no mercy to you?"

Baguio lowered her head.

The ghost king said lightly, "I think differently from you."

Baguio was shocked and said, "Dad, what did you say?"

The ghost king said, "As I see today, Zhang Xiaofan is indeed good to his senior sister, but when you fight with Xiao Zhou to the critical moment, he can't control himself. He cried out and jumped out regardless of his own safety. Only on this point, coupled with the past, you lived and died with him all the way. In his heart, maybe he doesn't understand, but your weight may not be much worse than his senior sister.

Baguio's face was red again, and under the night, it was more delicate, but then her eyes flowed, but there was an unconcealed joy.

The ghost king looked at her in his eyes, walked over and gently stroked her hair. There was no doubt that the color of love was revealed, and he said, "However, you can't be happy too early. First of all, the difference between the door is a hurdle that he can't cross. Besides, his masters and uncles in Qingyunmen can't allow him to have any affection for you. So when I was about to leave today, I deliberately said that your relationship was ambiguous. I think Xiao Zhou's position in Qingyunmen is bound to be low. If he goes back to spread the message, Qingyunmen must be suspicious of Zhang Xiaofan. In this way, he is a little more likely to turn to our holy religion!"

After saying that, he seemed to be very proud of what he did and laughed twice.

Baguio began to laugh, but soon after, she slowly put away her smile and lowered her head silently.

The ghost king frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Baguio hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I, I'm a little worried. In this way, I'm afraid Xiaofan will suffer again!"

The ghost king snorted and said, "If you don't sharpen it, how can you know that the sword is sharp!" If he can't even bear this pain, let's not worry about handing you over to him. Even if I let him come to my door, I will look down on him!"

Baguio nodded slowly, but somehow in his heart, he was still a little worried. He couldn't help looking eastward, but he saw that under the sky, the forest sea was vast, cutting off his sight, as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers.

※※※

The sudden appearance of Xiao Yicai really caused a burst of ** in Qingyunmen. Cangsong Taoist and Tian Buyi were both surprised and happy. And from Xiao Yicai's mouth, they also learned that the demon religion seemed to want to find the strange beast "Kiu" that appeared on this Liubo Mountain, and unexpectedly knew that the ghost king, one of the four masters of the demon religion, had also come here.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was lying on a temporary stone bed with his back against the stone wall because of his physical injury. There were only Cang Song Taoist and Tian Buyi around him, and the other disciples were temporarily dismissed.

Cangsong Taoist nodded slowly, with a solemn face, and said, "It turns out that that that person is the ghost king of the new generation of the Demon King Sect. Sure enough, the Taoism is profound."

Tian Buyi frowned and said, "Yicai, how did you get into the demon religion?"

Xiao Yicai smiled and said, "On that day, I was ordered by my teacher to sneak into Kongsang Mountain to explore the whereabouts of the Demon Sect. Sure enough, I found that there were the remnants of the Blood Refining Hall of the Demon Sect operating there. However, after many of my secret observations, these remnants of the blood refining hall are not great enemies, not to worry about. I just heard them many times about how the holy religion is, as if there is any secret big move in the demon religion. In order to find out what happened, I changed my name to Xiao Zhou. It happened that they were using people. Seeing that I still had some skills, I actually entered the magic religion smoothly.

Speaking of this, he apologized slightly and said to Tian Buyi, "But Uncle Tian, when Brother Zhang and Xiaozhufeng's sister Lu Xueqi fell into the dead abyss, I was just assigned to deal with the forensic brother and others of Tianyin Temple on the other way. I was really sorry for the rescue. Fortunately, Brother Zhang was lucky and safe, so I was relieved.

Tian Buyi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's not your fault. You don't have to worry about it."

The Cangsong Taoist listened beside him and suddenly snorted.

Tian is not easy to listen to, and he doesn't pay attention to him.

Cang Song Taoist turned his head to Xiao Yicai and said, "But then again, Yicai's nephew, your behavior is really too risky. You should know that the demon thieves are all sinister and cunning. In case you don't do it well, I can't explain it to the head brother.

Tian Buyi also nodded and said, "Yes, before going down the mountain this time, the boss had no news from you for several months, and he was also quite worried. He specifically told us to pay attention to your whereabouts in private!"

Xiao Yi's face was dark, and he shook his head and said, "Alas! It's all my fault, which worries my teacher.

The Taoist priest of Cangsong smiled and said, "You don't have to think too much. This time you have made a great contribution. When we clean up the remnants of the demon religion here, after returning to the mountain, the head brother will not blame you. I'm afraid you will be rewarded again."

Xiao Yicai's face turned red and said, "Uncle Cang Song, let's have a joke."

Tian Buyi said lightly, "This is not a joke. You really contributed a lot this time. But Yicai, don't do such a dangerous thing in the future. The head brother value you very much. In the future, after he turns into an immortal, the position of the head will probably be passed on to you. At that time, you will bear heavy responsibilities, and don't be capricious.

Xiao Yi said solemnly, "Yes. Thank you for the teachings of Uncle Cang Song and Uncle Tian.

Taoist Cang Song nodded and said, "All right! I think you are tired too. Go to bed early! Fortunately, your injury today did not hurt the meridians, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Xiao Yicai watched the Cangsong Taoist and Tian Buyi stand up and wanted to get up to see him off. Tian Buyi held him down, shook his head and said, "You have an injury on your body. Just take a good rest. We are not in Qingyun Mountain, so we can avoid them!"

Xiao Yi was not easy to disobey him. In addition, he was really tired, so he leaned back on the stone wall and said, "Thank you, uncles, forgive me for not sending it."

The Taoist of Cangsong waved his hand and walked out with Tian Buyi. He was about to walk to the entrance of the cave. Suddenly, he heard Xiao Yi and shouted behind his back: "Uncle Tian."

Tian Buyi was stunned for a moment, turned around and said, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yi leaned against the stone wall and said with a smile, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot it. When I visited your uncle in Dazhufeng last year, Uncle Su Ru mentioned that he wanted a 'Dabei Pearl', a specialty from the southeast coast. It happened that I found one when I came to the East China Sea this time. Does the uncle want to watch it now?

Tian Buyi pondered for a moment, looked at Xiao Yicai again, smiled and said, "Hey, if you don't say it, I actually forgot it. Fortunately, you have a heart, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be bored to death by your Uncle Su after I go back to Dazhufeng."

With that, he walked back with a smile. The Taoist Cangsong stopped in place for a moment. Naturally, he would not inquire about the pearl, so he went out.

In the cave, there are only Tian Buyi and Xiao Yicai left.

Tian Buyi came over with a smile, but when she sat down in front of Xiao Yi, the smile on her face was gone. She looked back slightly and said lightly, "Your uncle Su's temper has always been urgent on the outside and inside. A hundred years ago, she ran to the East Sea to find the big shell pearl. There is no one at the moment. If there is anything wrong, it's okay for you to say it.

Xiao Yi nodded, looked at Tian Buyi, and said, "Uncle is really smart. I left my uncle. In fact, I want to talk to you about your brother Zhang Xiaofan."

Tian Buyi frowned and was slightly surprised. He said, "What's wrong with him?"

Xiao Yi just coughed and deliberately lowered his voice. Tian Buyi immediately met, leaned forward slightly, and listened attentively.

In the cave, it was quiet. At this moment, there was only a faint whisper, gently echoing.
