Chapter 65
The next morning there was a drizzle and the weather was gray.
When the rain stopped, Lu Jue had already entered the martial arts arena with Chu Li from the Surabaya faction.
Disciples from various sects gathered around.
The heads and elders of each faction sat on the seats above the high ranks.
Qiao Nian and the villain Ao Yan discussed how to design and frame Lu Jue, but it was a bit late, and everyone had already arrived.
She originally wanted to secretly find an inconspicuous place to sit down, so that it would be convenient for Ao Yan to use his hands and feet to arouse the devilish energy in Lu Jue's body in public.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yunting saw her just as she walked up the steps.
Huo Yunting said to her: "Junior Sister, this way." There
is still an empty seat beside him, which should be reserved for her.
Hearing this, everyone looked at her with different eyes.
Qiao Nian, who immediately became the focus: "..."
As the young master of the Yunshan School, Huo Yunting's seat is almost the same as seat C, and the people sitting around him are all important seniors in the world of cultivating immortals boss.
Qingxuan, the fairy sent by the Celestial Clan, was sitting on his right, and was also looking at her with an inexplicable gaze.
Qiao Nian felt the pressure, walked over with some trepidation, and sat down beside Huo Yunting.
But she didn't even dare to breathe too hard, for fear that if she didn't pay attention, she would expose her demonic energy before Lu Jue.
She silently glanced at Ao Yan who was wearing plain white clothes and followed her beside her, fearing that something might go wrong with him.
Ao Yan curled her lips slightly, reassuring her that facing these immortal cultivators who had killed countless monsters, they looked calm and did not show any flaws.
Qiao Nian looked away. Although Ao Yan seemed unreliable, he was still reliable at critical times.
Then, the only thing left is... quietly inducing Lu Jue's devilish energy.
She looked at Lu Jue on the stage.
The martial arts competition has already started, and the two figures are intertwined. The duel between masters is naturally rare and exciting, and everyone's eyes are focused on the stage.
It's just that the strength of the two is equal, half an hour has passed, and there is no difference.
Qiao Nian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. At this moment, he heard someone say, "This is Mr. Lu's master?
" Those smiling eyes seemed to reveal a vague inspection.
Others were also a little surprised. It seemed that they noticed Shangxian's address to Lu Jue, and they couldn't help being a little strange. This Shangxian seemed gentle and polite, but he was alienated and indifferent to everyone, but he seemed to pay special attention to Lu Jue.
Is it because of Lu Jue's outstanding talent?
Qiao Nian's fingers holding the teacup tightened. Although Qingxuan's celestial power is not very advanced, and he is also a civil servant in the Celestial Clan, he is still more sensitive to demons than these people here.
Qiao Nian pretended to be calm and let out a "hmm".
But when she heard Qing Xuan's next words, she realized that she was thinking too much. He obviously talked to her because she was the prince's mortal master.
Qingxuan glanced admiringly at the young figure on the stage, then looked at her again, and said: "Mr. Lu can have the current cultivation base and exercises, it can be seen that fellow Taoists have taught you well, I wonder if there is any experience to talk about? "
Qiao Nian met his sincerely praising eyes: "..."
Does trying to hold him back and lead him astray count?
With a monster as a master, Lu Jue can still grow into his current appearance, which shows that the prince of the heavenly clan is really upright, a born decent fairy, even if he becomes a human being, he can't change it.
Before Qiao Nian could speak, a female voice rang out, "Isn't Xianjun just joking, what credit can Cheng Wu have? She lost her cultivation ten years ago, and she is no different from ordinary people, but she is just lucky. He's just a talented and talented apprentice."
Qiao Nian glanced at Qi Yi who was not far away, and was not surprised by her hostility, after all, Qi Yi always regarded her as a rival in love.
After hearing this, Qing Xuan didn't show any strange expression. Instead, he looked at Qiao Nian and said, "I also heard about fellow Taoists being injured in order to eliminate demons, so I happened to bring a Suyuan Pill with me here, and said After taking this pill, you can repair the damaged meridians and restore your previous cultivation."
As he spoke, a delicate purple bottle appeared out of thin air in his palm.
Qi Yi looked at this side in disbelief, did not expect this Shangxian to like Lu Jue so much, even if the other party couldn't teach Lu Jue anything, would he give such a precious elixir?
Although the others looked normal, they were somewhat jealous in their hearts. Even though they did not lack rare treasures, this kind of elixir to increase their cultivation was extremely lacking in the world of immortality.
Qiao Nian was the calmest one among them.
In the original book, there is also a story, and it was the Emperor of Heaven who told Qingxuan to give it to her, because the Emperor of Heaven loved his eldest son Lu Jue very much, and sending this elixir can be regarded as breaking the relationship between master and apprentice in the mortal world for Lu Jue.
But the original owner did not confiscate it, because just like the Celestial Clan despised the Demon Clan, the Demon Clan also hated the Immortal Clan, so how could they be willing to take things from the other party.
Qiao Nian didn't change the plot, but said calmly: "No need, you won't be rewarded for nothing, I appreciate the kindness of Xianjun." The others were shocked: "..." They all wanted to say that
you
don't want to give it to me. What's more, this is the elixir offered by the immortal king on his own initiative, and no one else can ask for it. Who dares to refuse and offend the immortal. Is the road to immortality cut off?
Even Qi Yi, who was holding back his jealousy, couldn't help looking at Qiao Nian, as if he was looking at something weird.
When the atmosphere was somewhat stalemate, Huo Yunting had a warm smile on his face, and explained to Qingxuan Xianjun with a gentle voice: "The fairy doesn't know something, Xu Guzhu has promised to heal the younger sister, the younger sister doesn't want to waste an elixir, Don't be offended, Xianjun."
Qingxuan looked at Qiao Nian and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me again."
Qiao Nian looked at him silently, the one who has difficulties is probably the prince of your heavenly clan.
While they were talking, there was a sudden exclamation from the audience.
Qiao Nian looked over and saw that the two who had been tied for a long time were standing motionless on the field, and the sword in Lu Jue's hand was already on Chu Li's neck.
However, the long sword in Chu Li's hand had been broken into two pieces, causing everyone to exclaim.
Qiao Nian's heart tightened, the winner was already decided, then...
Qiao Nian looked at Ao Yan next to him calmly, and was about to make a move, but he felt a little nervous in his heart.
On the martial arts arena, Chu Li looked at the broken sword in his hand with a somewhat complicated expression. After a moment of trance, he raised his eyes to look at the young man opposite Zhilan Yushu, and said, "I lost." Lu Jue withdrew the sword, and the long sword returned neatly
. The sheath, thin lips slightly hooked: "Proceed."
Chu Li picked up the broken half of the sword, paused for a moment, looked up at the other party's young and even immature face, and suddenly felt a little weird in his heart Lu Jue: "Eighteen
."
Chu Li, who was exactly eighty, said: "..."
He couldn't believe that the other party was so young. After all, people who cultivate immortals are not immortal Not old, but there are many people who are hundreds of years old despite their youthful appearance.
To be able to defeat him at the Immortal Gate Conference at the age of eighteen is a so-called genius?
Chu Li settled down, and asked with a glimmer of hope: "How long have you been practicing, fellow Taoist?"
Maybe...you have been practicing since you were three years old, or earlier?
As soon as he thought about it, he heard the person on the opposite side say: "Ten years."
Chu Li: "..."
He looked at the other person's face in a daze, he was wrong, this person is not a genius, but a monster, right?
Chu Li's mood, which had been completely defeated by the blow, suddenly became better. After all, geniuses and geniuses can compete for victory and defeat, but it is unnecessary to compare with Lu Jue, a person whose cultivation talent can be called a monstrous evildoer. up.
He thought about it, let's go back and practice again.
Just as he was about to step off the stage holding the broken sword, there was a sudden gust of wind, and when the gust of wind gradually dissipated, a strong fragrance hit him.
Although the fragrance is strong, it doesn't make people uncomfortable, on the contrary, it is clear to the ears and eyes.
Chu Li quickly realized that this was the rosemary used by Xianmen to distinguish demons. It had no effect on mortals, but it could make demons go crazy and make them invisible.
Why... would someone put rosemary on the stage?
Chu Li suddenly thought of something, stopped abruptly, and looked behind him, but happened to meet the boy's pair of eyes that were turning from pitch black to red. Weird and treacherous.
"You... are you a demon?" Chu Li said in a broken voice.
The audience was also in an uproar.
"Has Lu Jue fallen into a demon?"
"No wonder he is so powerful at such a young age, he must have practiced crooked kung fu!" "
Catch him! Don't let him escape!"
In the excitement of the crowd, the elders on the stage did not wait. They gave orders, and the young disciples of the various sects had already rushed forward.
Lu Jue was fascinated by his sanity, and his cultivation base soared under the dissipation of the demon energy, and for a while, no one could beat him.
"Junior Sister, what's going on?" Huo Yunting asked her with an ugly face.
Qiao Nian also seemed to be taken aback. Looking at the audience who was already in a mess, with all his black hair falling down, Lu Jue looked more like a monster, crazy and violent, and said, "I don't know." At this time, no one noticed
, Ao Yan, another apprentice who was with her before, had already disappeared.
Seeing that Huo Yunting was about to go down to capture Lu Jue in person, Qiao Nian flew down the high platform first, stood in front of Lu Jue, and just as Lu Jue was about to break the neck of a disciple, he said coldly, "Lu Jue, are you here?" What to do?"
She knew that Lu Jue still had some rationality at this time, and only became mad under the siege of the crowd, as long as others didn't attack him, he could still try to control his demonic nature.
Sure enough, when he heard her words, Lu Jue stopped his movements and looked up at her, his red eyes were a little dazed: "Master...?" Afterwards, his eyes
looked around, and his rationality gradually returned.
Everyone stared at him with disdain or horror, as if they were looking at some monster.
Lu Jue's original snow-white clothes were already stained with other people's blood, even his hands were covered with blood.
"I..." Lu Jue took a few steps forward, "Master, you trust me, I don't know what's going on... I didn't intend to hurt anyone!" Unexpectedly, he didn't suspect her at this time, and
still Wanting to explain to him wholeheartedly, Qiao Nian avoided his sight and looked very indifferent.
Lu Jue was stunned, looked at her, and then gradually thought of something, his eyes were a little shocked when he looked at her: "Master, you..."
When he spoke, Xianjun Qingxuan also flew down, Came to the stage and bound him with a rope.
Lu Jue didn't struggle, but still looked at Qiao Nian with a pale face, a bit dazed, a bit unbelievable.
Qiao Nian could guess what he was thinking, he must have known that there was something wrong with the exercises she gave him, and it was not difficult to guess that she might be from the Demon Race.
But he won't expose her.
Looking at the red-eyed young man covered in devilish energy, Qingxuan concealed the turmoil in his heart, and asked with a complicated expression: "What's going on here? Where does the devilish energy in your body come from?" His words were already
biased , it seemed that Lu Jue was not possessed by himself, but someone else harmed him.
Even though the others were dissatisfied, they couldn't bear it because of Xianjun's attitude.
Lu Jue did not speak.
It is not that the Yunshan School has not had disciples who have betrayed the immortal sect for hundreds of years, but it is the first time that they have made a fool of themselves in front of everyone.
The head of the Yunshan School looked livid, looked at Qiao Nian, and said, "Your apprentice is full of demonic energy, don't tell me, you didn't notice it at all, why didn't you report it?" Qiao Nian didn't speak, but seemed to
know What inside story.
"Junior Sister, you still want to protect him now?" Huo Yunting also said coldly.
Seeing everyone's aggressiveness, Lu Jue, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke, but his voice was hoarse: "It has nothing to do with Master, it's... I practiced magic kung fu privately.
" The exercises, what he was practicing, and how long he had practiced, but he kept silent like a dumb man.
At this time, Qi Yi suddenly sneered and said, pointing the finger at Qiao Nian: "Cheng Wu, why didn't you answer the sect master's question? You are his master. How could he know that it wasn't you who taught him to practice magic arts?" What?"
Lu Jue suddenly looked at her, and said word by word: "I said, it has nothing to do with Master."
Qi Yi was so frightened by his murderous eyes that he backed away unconsciously, then reacted, and said angrily: "You were taught by her, so you will cover it up for her. Cheng Wu has no hope of cultivating immortality, so it doesn't make sense to specialize in other ways?" "Enough!" Huo Yunting said coldly, "If there is no evidence, don't talk
nonsense Detain Lu Jue first and try slowly, there will always be..."
Qiao Nian glanced at the Tsinghua Immortal Monarch whose face had already sunk. To completely discredit Lu Jue, it was not enough just to become a demon. Xianmen was executed and died.
She only hesitated for a moment, then interrupted Huo Yunting, saying: "I... do know about Lu Jue's practice of magic kung fu."
Lu Jue suddenly looked at her, his eyes were full of worry and eagerness. Knowing that there is something wrong with the exercises they practiced, but they only thought that she practiced magic arts to restore her cultivation, so she was willing to fight the crime for her.
"Master!"
Qiao Nian couldn't look at his expression, how could he know that she was not trying to explain everything for him, but was trying to push him into a deeper abyss.
"He is practicing... the Qingxin Sutra of the Demon Race." Qiao Nian's tone was calm.
Hearing this, the faces of those who knew what kind of exercise this was was all changed, and they looked at her strangely.
"Isn't this... isn't this the dual cultivation technique of the demons to harvest yin and supplement yang?" Qingxuan Xianjun hesitated.
Huo Yunting's face was also extremely ugly: "Junior Sister, you..."
"He forced me." Qiao Nian lowered his eyes, as if he was a little embarrassed to say, "I dare not say it for the sake of face, but now... I can't hide it anymore. It's gone."
Everyone was horrified, looking at her and Lu Jue with different eyes.
At this time, the huge square was as quiet as a crow and a sparrow.
No matter in the Xianmen or the Demon Clan, respecting the teacher is more important. This kind of person who uses the master as a furnace to help him practice the devil is considered a vicious person in the Demon Clan.
"Master..." After a while, Lu Jue's voice suddenly sounded, it was strangely calm, "You... said it was me, forced, forced, you?" Before Qiao Nian could answer, Huo Yunting had already slapped him hard
. Lu Jue gave Lu Jue a palm, but Lu Jue held on and did not fall down. He just took half a step back, and his red eyes were still staring at Qiao Nian.
Immortal Lord Qingxuan originally wanted to stop Huo Yunting from making a move, but he sighed and let go of his hands. He didn't stop him. Even if the prince of the heavenly clan did such a thing of deceiving his master and exterminating his ancestors and throwing himself into the devil's way, the calamity has already...failed , His position can't be kept.
Qiao Nian met his gaze: "Yes."
Hearing this, Lu Jue looked at her, but there was no trace of anger on his face. Instead, he suddenly laughed, and the laughter gradually became louder, and walked towards her go.
Naturally, it was impossible for Huo Yunting to let him approach again, and soon some disciples came forward and forced him to the ground. He was bound by the fairy rope and could not break free, and was pressed down on the ground in an extremely embarrassing situation.
But he was still laughing, staring at Qiao Nian with those red eyes for a moment, hoarse voice, but his tone was gentle and harmless as usual, and said: "Master, what you owe me today, I will definitely pay you in the future." Come to the door and ask for it one by one."
Everyone didn't understand what he meant, and looked at them with weird expressions.
Qiao Nian, however, was so startled by his creepy-soft tone and smile that she almost wanted to back off. She understood what he meant, he...was reassuring her that he would take all the blame for her.
But... His dedication is not without expecting anything in return.
When Qiao Nian looked at him, he saw the familiar paranoid madness in his smiling red eyes.
Qiao Nianmu said: "..."
Why, this time she is also following the plot well, but his reaction is obviously not what the hero of the original novel should have!
