Nie Yao went to the medical center in person just now to visit seriously injured people from various sects one by one. He has a delicate mind, and he is afraid that these sects will make demands on the Nie family in the future, so he wants someone to write down the names of these sects one by one, transcribe a copy, and bring it to Qingfenglou together with the list of all the participants before the opening of the mountain. .

Zhang Jinjin was sitting in the Qingfeng Building. The chess game the night before yesterday was still there, but no one continued. Since the flash flood broke out that night, the two of them were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground. Today, the five of them went out of the mountain, the spirit mountain barrier disappeared, and the flood had a place to return, so they could finally take a breather. Zhang Jinjin took out a jar of wine from nowhere, poured himself a glass unceremoniously, took a sip, and sighed to Nie Yao who had just pushed in the door: "Why did I think of working with you back then? Knowing the trouble today, I should have kicked you out of the Golden Pavilion."

Nie Yao hurried back and forth and was thirsty. When he saw the wine jar on the table, he poured himself a glass, raised his head and drank it, staring, "Profit merchant, why didn't you say this when you were making money? Now there is trouble. Just cross the river and tear down the bridge."

After running on his friends, he walked to the window and looked at the big lake under the mountain, and said sternly: "To be honest, this is the first time that Lingshan has been talking about Taoism for nearly a thousand years. It's really worrying. The jade slip they brought back is you. Have you seen it?"

"Not yet," Zhang Jinjin drank the wine in his glass, "Isn't this waiting for you?" After speaking, he took out two jade slips, which were left by Mu Xiyun and Gu Qingqiao just now. The jade slip recorded the encounter between the two in Lingshan, and the part of Gu Qingqiao's story about the past had been deleted by the two when the jade slip was returned.

Zhang Jinjin and Nie Yao exercised their spiritual power together and absorbed the contents of the jade slip into their minds.

After a while, both of them opened their eyes in surprise.

Zhang Jinjin pondered for a while, then suddenly asked: "Ayao, your family's Lingshan opens every three years, do you know where this mountain is when it doesn't open?"

Nie Yao glanced at his friend, rubbed the jade slip in his hand, and said hesitantly, "Lingshan was a treasure place for cultivating immortals full of spiritual energy before the ancestors of the family ascended, and the ancestors of the Nie family blessed it and turned it into a fairy mountain. , but I'm afraid I can't tell you the specifics."

"Oh?" Zhang Jinjin lowered his eyebrows and looked at the wine glass in his hand, and said casually: "Could it be that it was moved to Beiyuan?"

Nie Yao's body was shaken, he looked out the window cautiously, waved his hand to set up a soundproof array in the room, and then smiled bitterly: "Don't tell me you guessed."

"I'm sorry, I really guessed it." Zhang Jinjin raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I guessed right. In that case, don't keep it a secret, and tell me what's going on?"

Nie Yao calmed down and did not answer him directly, but instead asked, "Do you know the underground spiritual veins?"

"I heard a little." Zhang Jinjin replied: "It is said that the spiritual energy of the earth is radiated by the spiritual veins, and the spiritual veins are like rivers, which are connected underground. The closer the spiritual veins are to the ground, the stronger the spiritual energy in this place. The veins are deep and shallow, and there are not many places exposed to the ground. It is rumored that the five spiritual formations of Moyun Mountain are built directly close to the spiritual veins, so they have always been rich in spiritual energy. Your Lingshan Mountain should also be located in the spiritual veins. let's go?"

"You are right, the ancestors moved Lingshan from this place to the place where the earth's spiritual veins originated and converged. The so-called "every three-year opening of the mountain" means that Lingshan temporarily moved from the birthplace to this place with the help of the earth's spiritual veins. place."

"You mean that the origin of the spiritual veins of the earth is actually Beiyuan?"

"That's right. The so-called heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are regarded as dogs. The earth's spiritual veins are all one, and it doesn't matter whether the place where it lives is a demon or a human. When the ancestors of the family ascended, there are still many people in the Xiuxian world who know this. Yes. But the human and demons have been hostile for a long time, and the human race is talking about demons. Of course, they do not want to admit that the spiritual energy they need for their own cultivation actually comes from the demonic realm. It has been passed down from generation to generation, under the deliberate concealment of people, now Not many people know about it. Although the Nie family knows this secret, in today's world... it's impossible to say."

"Haha," Zhang Jinjin laughed: "If people knew that the immortal mountain they revered was actually from the Demon Realm, how much shock would it cause? I'm afraid that at that time, the entire Lingshan Nie family will be attacked by the immortals."

Ignoring his friend's jokes, Nie Yao's face became serious: "It is not an easy thing to connect the Demon Realm and the Human Realm from Beiyuan with a spar array. The other party should have been plotting for a long time. Lingshan's 'accident' actually involves people , Demons, and Demons, among them, there is probably a big conspiracy, and we have to guard against it.”

Under the shadow of candlelight, Zhang Jinjin played with the wine glass in his hand. The appearance of Wuying made him alert. The awakening of Gu Qingqiao is still a secret, but now there is a danger of leaking it in advance. If you let that person find out when you are not prepared, I am afraid that the long-term plan will be ruined.

Barely suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Zhang Jinjin stood up and patted Nie Yao, comforting: "You don't have to worry too much, just get ready in the clan first. I will order all the spies in Jinjin Pavilion tomorrow to pay close attention to all kinds of problems. Discord, if there is any trouble, we will definitely get the news first."

The two of them went back to their rooms to rest with heavy worries, and the next morning they called their subordinates to discuss the next steps.

It was very busy here, but the five people who came down from Lingshan were at ease at this time.

Mu Xiyuan thanked the medical repair who came for follow-up early in the morning, and slowly walked out of the room. After the medical treatment, and a good night's rest, the injury on the body has basically recovered, and I feel refreshed and even my mood is lightened.

Pushing open the door, Mu Xiyun suddenly felt a move. Outside the door, Gu Qingqiao was leaning against the opposite wall, looking at his door with a complicated expression. Seeing the door opened, he straightened up in a panic. The two of them made eye contact, but they both looked away a little unnaturally.

Mu Xiyun didn't know how to speak for a while. It was not without doubts about this person before, but they concealed their identities from each other, but they could pretend to be deaf and dumb, and only regarded the other party as a new friend; One after another, he didn't know how to treat each other.

"How is your injury?" Gu Qingqiao finally spoke first, but his expression was restrained, and the ease and ease before him were long gone.
