The Path Toward Heaven

Jing Jiu came to the shore, and the river slipped from the white clothes like a waterfall.

The sergeants on the south wall were running, not knowing what happened.

Jing Jiu glanced over there and used Jianyuan to steam the water off his body. The whole person was covered with a layer of white mist.

"Now do you still ask me why I want to come to Chaoyang City?"

Zhao Layue's voice rang outside the mist.

Jing Jiu knew why the sergeant in the south city was so nervous, and she thought that when she sent the sword out of the city, many people were alerted.

He did not answer this question because she was right.

What happened to Liu Shisui was all he expected, but he still had to take a look at it to rest assured.

Zhao Layue asked, "Did you find what you were looking for?"

Jing Jiu sighed.

Zhao Layue asked no more.

Jing Jiu looked at her and said, "Will you check it again?"

Zhao Layue also yelled.

"This matter has nothing to do with Thunder Soul Wood."

Jing Jiu looked at her and said, "If the ascension fails, the reason is only that there is a problem with the formation."

Zhao Layue said: "Lei Poyun dared to steal Thunder Soul Muxia Bihu Peak, so he dared to work on the formation materials."

These two things are unrelated, but this inference does make sense.

Jing Jiu said: "In the peak of the end of God, he can't move."

Zhao Layue thought that he didn't see any traces of formation on the top of the peak, and he didn't even have a trace of remaining breath.

"Smoke disappears, and it is the name of that formation."

Jing Jiu said: "No traces will be left."

Zhao Layue said: "The smoke disappears ... The name is really unlucky."

Jing Jiu said: "The ascension of monks is death for those who stay in this world, and it is not a happy thing."

Zhao Layue was silent for a while, and said: "No wonder Master Uncle Zu soared, and there are not many people in Qingshan Jiufeng who are really happy."

Jing Jiu did not speak.

Zhao Layue said: "If there is no problem with the materials, how could the formation method go wrong?"

"Maybe ... Jingyang Zhenren learned the formation method that year was wrong."

Jing Jiu said with a smile.

His smile was a little light.

...

...

Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue left the south city and walked across the mountains, not knowing where they were.

On the other side of the mountain, Liu Shisui finally woke up, and his hot skin returned to normal temperature. His sanity was not affected, and there seemed to be no change. No one knows that when he looked at himself in the bronze mirror In the deepest part of the eye pupil, I saw a faint red.

The next day, Liu Shisui was imprisoned in Jian Hei. No matter how angry Elder Bai Rujing was, he could not change Shang Defeng's decision.

Because Shang Defeng suspected that Liu Shisui had swallowed the ghost pill's demon pill in the muddy water demon war.

Devouring a demon can help the monk to quickly raise the level, but it is likely to pollute the Taoist heart and allow the monk to get into trouble.

This is absolutely unacceptable behavior for the Xuanmen Orthodox, and it is a serious crime against Qingshan Sect.

Even if Liu Shisui is a natural Taoist kind that is highly anticipated by the sect, if such a thing is really done, even the lightest punishment will be abolished and repaired, and expelled from Qingshan.

In the following time, Shang Defeng conducted an extremely severe interrogation on Liu Shisui, and finally even punished him.

The result of the interrogation was somewhat unexpected.

Liu Shisui's sudden unconsciousness on the banks of the turbid water, as well as his body's scalding, sudden pulse, and many other visions, showed that he had indeed swallowed Yaodan.

But neither the inspections by Shi Yuefeng's teachers, nor Chi Yan's use of Jianxin to listen to the pulse, failed to find direct evidence in his body.

It stands to reason that since there is no evidence, it should be released, but the matter is so weird.

Yuan Qijing ordered him personally, still keeping Liu Shisui in the sword prison, and forbid anyone to visit.

Up to now, whether it is Elder Bai Rujing or the young disciples of Liang Wangfeng, in fact, they have already believed in the judgment of Shang Defeng.

So no one visited Liu Shisui.

No matter how Shang Defeng used his sentence, Liu Shisui remained silent. No matter how painful he was, he refused to say anything.

He sat quietly in the cell where the sun was not visible, and his stubborn face was full of stubbornness, but he was so lonely again.

...

...

Qingshan Jiufeng was shocked.

At Xijianxi, you can often hear comments on this matter, either unbelief or sympathy, but most of them are indifferent and contemptuous.

This kind of indifference and contempt comes from the disappointment of Liu Shisui. Since it is deeply valued by the sect, why is it so anxious?

Gu Qing practiced his sword in Shenmofeng. The news came a little late. When he knew about this matter, Liu Shisui had been imprisoned for more than ten days.

He felt that there was a problem with this matter, because he had contacted Liu Shisui several times, and he did not believe that Liu Shisui would steal Yaodan.

If Liu Shisui continues to be imprisoned in the dark sword prison for a long time, the road of monasticism will suffer great setbacks, or even be interrupted.

But now he is just a disciple of Chengjian who is a guest at the end of the mountain. How can he help Liu Shisui?

At this time, he remembered what Jing Jiu said to himself before leaving: if something happened, find a monkey.

Gu Qing is a very smart person and has long wanted to understand the meaning of this sentence.

In the eyes of many people, the pair of masters and servants Jing Jiu and Liu Shisui have gradually moved away. Only Gu Qing knows the real relationship between Jing Jiu and Liu Shisui, such as those bamboos, and those who are instructed. Jing Jiu said that only Liu Shisui was the only thing in Qingshan Jiufeng.

Then the meaning of this sentence is: If something happens to Liu Shisui, go to the monkey.

...

...

Gu Qing walked outside the wooden house, hit the tree with his fist a few times, and then whined twice.

There was a sound of bent leaves and branches in the woods, and the cry of the apes and monkeys.

A dozen monkeys came around the wooden house and surrounded him.

Gu Qing can learn monkey barking now, but it doesn't mean he can use these calls to explain the matter.

He looked at the apes and spoke this thing back and forth with a slow voice and standard pronunciation.

The monkeys scratched their ears anxiously, screaming at him.

Gu Qing knew that they were scolding themselves, spreading his hands, and was very innocent. So he thought what could I do?

A little monkey climbed into the cabin from the window, grabbed a piece of paper, and kept waving.

Gu Qing slapped his forehead and wondered why he was so stupid?

The apes and monkeys spread their arms and looked innocent. I thought you still know?

Grinding the ink well, spreading out the white paper, and writing something, Gu Qing made another difficulty.

Because he didn't even know who this letter would be sent to later.

After a few considerations, he finally wrote a few simple sentences without forgetting the pen he held with his left hand.

"I don't know who you are. Anyway, Liu Shisui please."

...

...

the next day.

Liu Shisui was released.

Both the ordinary disciples at Xijianxi and the people in Jiufeng felt very surprised.

Shang Defeng did not make any explanation.

No one picked Liu Shisui.

When Liu Shisui returned to Tianguangfeng, he didn't see his master Bai Rujing. He was greeted by countless strange eyes.

In the middle of the night, Gu Han came.

"Some sacrifices are worth it for the sake of the world."

Gu Han's hand fell on his shoulder, comfortingly said: "Brother Master wanted to come in person, but worried about falling in the eyes of others."

Liu Shisui asked: "Why did you let me go to the summit? A lot earlier than planned."

Gu Han said: "Naturally, it was Master who made the speech."

Thinking of this matter was arranged by the master in person, Liu Shisui felt the weight on his shoulders became heavier.

After Gu Han left, he sat at the window, watching the oil lamp silent for a long time.

Suddenly he missed Jing Jiu, or the days when he was in a small village, by a pond, under a tree, and listening to the sound of cicadas.
