A year later, Su Linbing and Shi Yi went to the spiritual world and would not return for at least twenty or thirty years, leaving the Hehuan Sect in the hands of Cui Hongyu and Su Chen.
Before Su Linbing left, Hehuan Sect's sect-protecting formation had been stabilized and blessed by him. As long as it was opened in time, even monks in the Nascent Soul stage would have to weigh their own weight. It can be said to be very safe.
This year, Su Chen, apart from getting to know Qin Chuyang well, also practiced cultivation and inquired about the monks in the "Book of Destiny".
Although they failed to get effective information, the year went smoothly.
One day a year later, Su Yi returned from training, but reached the realm of the Dan Formation stage, and formed his own power. Su Chen took charge of the sect. Even though she seemed to be inseparable from her, she was still his second sister, so she naturally needed to go. Welcome.
The first person who came after hearing the news was Su Xiangrong, who had been in love with Lin Miaomiao for a long time.
When Su Chen arrived, Su Yi had already shown his token and was about to join the sect, but was stopped by Su Chen.
"I have no objection to the second sister joining the sect. It's just that you suddenly brought so many disciples back to the sect. I'm afraid it will be difficult to arrange it for a while." The monks standing behind Su Yi were of various ages and genders. When they came to the Hehuan Sect
, Sometimes there are expressions of wonder or plain expressions. There are casual cultivators, monks of the demonic path, and monks of the righteous path... They all have different identities, but it seems that there is nothing wrong with them on the surface.
But in fact the problem is huge!
These monks have different identities, ranging from Qi training to elixir formation. They are huge in number, hundreds or even thousands. At this moment, Su Linbing and Shi Yi, the two strongest monks of the Hehuan Sect, are not present. If we do not verify the identity of this group of people, Identity, let the person with bad intentions come out, how to solve it?
It seems that she has given up her position as young master and worked hard outside over the years, but has gained a lot.
Su Yi was not angry when faced with the question. He only smiled and said: "Is that so? They are all monks who have made friends with me over the years. I thought that the disciples of our sect often bring people into the sect, so this should not be a big deal... If you think about it carefully, I was the one who took it for granted before and caused trouble to the sect."
Su Chen rolled his eyes: You also know it will cause trouble? Even if other Hehuan Sect disciples bring people, they won't bring hundreds or even thousands, right? Not to mention that there were monks in the Danjie stage among them. Those who didn't know it thought they were going to blow up the Hehuan Sect.
"Um..." Su Xiangrong looked around, but couldn't see the woman he was longing for. He asked with a blush, "Sister, Senior Sister Lin Miaomiao who has been accompanying you is back?" "Senior Sister Miaomiao...
"
Su Yi Wenyan, who had a light smile on his face one second, was filled with tears the next, looking like he wanted to cry but didn't want to cry, "We were maliciously guided to become bait for monsters, and the senior sister was poisoned and sacrificed. I am the only one who survived."
Su Xiangrong felt like he was struck by lightning. He couldn't accept the fact that the goddess he secretly loved had died. He froze in place like a sculpture, as if he was living in a dream.
With a "pop" sound, he suddenly felt a pain in his head. He suddenly woke up and saw that it was Su Chen who patted his head very skillfully.
"Um...wow..."
Su Xiangrong glared accusingly at Su Chen who patted his head. He felt that the latter was really a cold and ruthless man. He usually only bullied him, but even at this time he did not forget to hit him. He went too far!
Feeling overwhelmingly grievances in his heart, he turned around and ran away without any manners of a foundation-building monk, and his figure soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
Even Su Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw this, as if she couldn't understand why the senior sister who was close to her died, and the one who cried the loudest and most directly was Su Xiangrong.
Seeing the second sister returning in front of him with expressions of surprise and contemplation, Su Chen always felt an indescribable sense of dissonance.
"It is temporarily inconvenient for all fellow Taoists to join the sect, so you might as well go to Qingxi Stream to rest first." "
As for the second sister... Brother is still very happy to see you come back alive. I will offer you a glass of wine later to congratulate the second sister. My realm has greatly improved, and I can continue to live in the world in the future."
These words of congratulations are really fresh and refined, as if the other person is a villain who should be cut into pieces.
Su Yi didn't want to argue with Su Chen and said calmly: "Brother, where is the father? My daughter has been traveling for many years. She should visit her as soon as possible after she comes back, so as to show her sincerity." "Well, it should be in the main hall
. , just come with me."
Su Chen nodded slightly, first assigned a few Hehuan Sect disciples to send people to Qingxi Stream, and then took Su Yi towards the main hall.
The Su Yi in his memory was a gentle knife. After a few years, it turned into a knife with an extra scabbard.
The two had a life-and-death hostile relationship in the early years, but now that they have met, they are more like awkward strangers.
When they arrived at the main hall, they saw not Su Linbing, but Cui Hongyu who was at the desk reviewing letters.
Recently, it was time for Hehuan Sect to collect protection fees from affiliated sects, and the letter Cui Hongyu received was the amount of protection fees that other sects needed to pay.
Anyone can do this job, but it's a bit troublesome. Su Chen was too lazy to waste time on it, so he relied on his appearance bonus to leave the job to the wise Elder Cui and go out to play by himself.
After noticing the arrival, Cui Hongyu raised his head and said in surprise: "Isn't this Su Yi? We haven't seen each other for a few years, but she has become so graceful. I guess she must have got a lot of opportunities outside... Hey, what a backlash. Qianlang. If you have time, can you do me a small favor?"
"Thank you, Elder Cui, for your compliments. If you don't mind Yiyi's slowness, Yiyi will be happy to help."
Su Yi showed a sweet smile . , I actually got a few pieces of letter paper from Cui Hongyu and started to review it, and occasionally asked a few profound philosophical questions.
A rare trace of shame appeared in Su Chen's heart: Could it be that he was too competent as the hands-off shopkeeper? Look at how busy he is with his work. Elder Cui was a little crazy. He caught Su Yi who had just returned to the sect and asked him to do it. Review his letterhead.
So the question is, does the other party really know how to do it?
Although Su Chen felt that handling these letters was not a problem, and that anyone could do it, it would only be possible after the other party had been given guidance for a period of time. It was not really that easy for a layman to get started instantly.
First of all, they need to understand the specific situation of other sects, and only through complex comprehensive judgment can they determine the approximate amount of materials that sect needs to turn over this year.
If the standard is not met, they will have to send inner disciples to visit the other side to see if they are in trouble. If they find out after verification that the other side is just stingy, then they will have to consider the necessity of continuing to protect the other side; if they have committed the crime many times For similar problems, the materials will be returned and the Hehuan Sect will no longer protect each other, and they will stay where they can to cool down.
It is difficult for the Zhengmo Dao to survive, and from time to time it has to encounter the exclusion of the other two parties. It can be said that they are not human beings inside and outside. Their Hehuan Sect has no obligation to protect other sects, but they also know that unity is strength, so doing so is not only For the sake of himself and the neighboring sects, and even more so for the entire path of good and evil.
Don’t you need supplies to protect other sects? Many small sects even fight over the chance to seek asylum, which shows that the competition is fierce.
As of today, in addition to Hehuan Sect, Zhengmo Dao also has Tianmo Sect intervening, but this does not mean that the things they need to deal with will become less.
On the contrary, it has become more complex than ever.
Who makes it more variable? Naturally, the criteria for judging have subtly changed.
Su Yi can't handle the cold? It’s nothing, just ask for advice, you can learn it in about ten days and a half; Su Yi knows how to handle letters, maybe she has studied outside, or maybe she asked someone for advice in private... Well, he seems to
be I am too suspicious and always feel that everything is dangerous and I need to be careful about everything.
Su Chen withdrew his gaze, took the person behind him, said hello and left the main hall.
There was peace in the main hall. Cui Hongyu and Su Yi were each busy with the letters in their hands, and neither party made a sound.
But with a clever female cultivator beside him to help, for Cui Hongyu, the speed is not as simple as doubling.
One day later, the original pile of letters was reduced by half.
Su Yi asked casually: "Elder, why are you working so hard here but not seeing your father?"
"Elder Shi's breakthrough is imminent, and the sect leader is taking him to the upper realm to practice." Cui Hongyu replied.
Although this is a secret that cannot be revealed at will, given that the female revisionist in front of her is Su Linbing's daughter and the person closest to her, there is no need to deliberately conceal it.
Su Yi regretted at first: "Ah, if I had known this, I would have returned to the clan earlier. After today's farewell, I don't know how long I have to wait before I can meet my father..." Then she exclaimed: "No wonder the eldest brother didn't allow it just now
. I came in with the friends I made outside, and there was such a reason. I talked back to my eldest brother before, and he seemed to be angry. What should I do now?" "The young master has always been upright and generous
. I won't argue with you. You fought very hard back then, but now after so many years, your mind has become mature, so you can trust the young master just once, okay?" Cui Hongyu said with a smile.
Su Yi nodded lightly and said slowly: "Elder Cui, there is something Yiyi doesn't understand. Now that Yiyi has cultivated alchemy, why aren't you surprised at all? Fortunately, Yiyi still wants to see your reaction."
"Perhaps it's because the young master had the opportunity to reach the realm of pill formation first, and because he was too busy just now, he ignored it." Cui Hongyu said warmly, "I see that your aura is pure, and you don't seem to be practicing evil methods, so it's the same. It's a special opportunity. This is naturally a great happy event. As elders, how can we be unhappy?" "Well, it turns out that's the case. I thought I felt wrong, but I didn't expect that my eldest
brother is here. I have reached the stage of forming a monk before, but Zhuyu is ahead of me."
Su Yi seemed helpless, covering her lips and smiling softly, "Yiyi is a little tired. She has been away from home these years and has never returned to the sect. She has not yet become close to her senior brother. Senior sisters gather together, if the elder still needs help, be sure to summon Yiyi." "
Go ahead, I am sorry for delaying you so much." Cui Hongyu
waved his hand and watched Su Yipingting's graceful figure walk away gracefully. , and felt for a moment:
The girl who made ugly appearances when fighting with Su Chen many times was completely different from her now... This must be the change from a child to an adult.
But the Su Yi now is no longer the real Su Yi.
Su Yi's original soul has been devoured, and it was replaced by the one who succeeded in seizing the body... Lin Miaomiao!
This woman has been hiding in the Hehuan Sect as a foreign disciple, and her plan is indeed proceeding in an orderly manner: she supports and encourages Su Yi, seizes his body on the way out for training, and then uses forbidden techniques to transform her cultivation into In order to be promoted to the Core Formation...
at least up to this point, her plan had not gone awry.
When she returned this time, she noticed that two stars guarding the foundation of the Hehuan Sect had left. As a result, the luck of the Hehuan Sect was weakened to its weakest state. It was a good time to destroy it.
Before that, she was still vaguely worried that the sect would have two extra stars to guard it, and the collapsed luck would reunite, which would ruin her plan.
Through communicating with Cui Hongyu, I learned that her plan is 80% good.
If she had to say it was an accident, she originally thought that the addition of two other prosperous stars in the sect was due to the arrival of two new monks in the Dan Formation stage, but she did not expect that the other party would be Su Chen... As for who the other person was , she hasn’t found out yet.
However, the swordsman who followed Su Chen, restrained his sharpness, and had a strong momentum was very questionable.
It seems that he is a disciple sent from outside the Sword Sect?
Isn't this an opportunity for her to write a great article?
Su Yi... No, Lin Miaomiao seemed to have thought of something interesting and smiled brightly.
This scene did not arouse anyone's suspicion.
On the other side, in the Xingyan Peak Cave, Su Chen frowned and rested his cheek on his palm. He was obviously thinking about some deep issues.
Qin Chuyang looked at it silently, and his heart moved: The way this guy was thinking seriously was really full of steady charm, which made people want to rely on him.
The next second, Su Chen looked back at him as he looked at him. Their eyes met, as if positive and negative lightning collided, making a fleeting "stab" sound.
Qin Chuyang looked away guiltily.
"Brother Qin, don't you ask me what I'm thinking about right now?"
Su Chen curled his lips and smiled, with a hint of condescension in his eyes, "As the saying goes, 'Serious men are the most handsome.' Could it be that Brother Qin is so kind to me?" Are you crazy about your steady temperament?"
"Ahem, no, Ah Chen misunderstood." Qin Chuyang pretended to be calm and replied, "This is the first time I've seen you looking deep in thought in this year. It seems different from before. , I just took a few more glances."
"When a man becomes curious about another man, that is the beginning of his fall."
Su Chen glanced at the other person with a half-smile.
"You are so eloquent, how do you know so many great truths?" Qin Chuyang raised the corners of his mouth and exposed one side of his tiger teeth, showing a sunny style, "Why didn't you say that a man often teases another man out of curiosity? , just stuck in a mire?"
"Huh? A mire? It's disgusting. You're not a mortal. You need to clean it up first, otherwise it will become... ahem, some things cannot be said easily." Su Chen trembled
. Shaking, he looked stimulated, but his eyes were full of ridicule.
Qin Chuyang couldn't help but be sluggish, thinking and thinking, and belatedly realized that something was wrong. His face turned red, and he was slightly angry: Okay, he took back what he said earlier about thinking the other party was handsome. The person in front of him was completely shameless
. He can say any naughty thing.
"Hey~ Brother Qin, don't be angry. I'm just hearsay and have some theoretical knowledge. I'm still a pure boy now."
Boys always seem to like teasing the people they like, whether they are good brothers or sweethearts. After getting to know each other, You can always say some naughty things, and Su Chen is like this.
Whenever he saw Qin Chuyang losing in communication with him, or blushing or feeling embarrassed, he found it very interesting and wanted to bully the other person more so that he could see more similar expressions from the other person.
Qin Chuyang always treated others kindly, especially when he was facing Su Chen. He felt that no matter whether it was a frontal provocation or an insinuation, the eighteen tactics were not as good as the opponent's one-liners, and ended up being useless, but they just couldn't produce any results. More anger and no harsh words to say.
So much so that he never had the upper hand in speaking skills.
Their relationship has indeed progressed over the past year. At least Su Chen can joke without scruples in front of Qin Chuyang, and the latter has obviously become accustomed to it, which is enough to prove this.
But it's too early to force them to become Taoist companions... After all, they feel very happy to have a good brother, but having a Taoist companion out of thin air makes them feel unrealistic.
Qin Chuyang held his forehead and silently turned the page of this colorful topic:
"So Ah Chen, what were you thinking about just now, so serious. Could it be that other sects are visiting in a few days, and you need to host a banquet?" "No, that's not true
. , such trivial matters are nothing more than socializing, and they can’t trouble me, so why be nervous." Su Chen shook his head and replied, "For some reason, I always feel that my second sister is long gone." Qin Chuyang was surprised
. : "What kind of fantastic idea is this? A Chen and your sister have only met for less than half a day. There seems to be nothing unusual about the other party. Why is she not here?" "There is no abnormality. Her attitude may be regarded as her growing up
. She knows how to honor her brother, but her cultivation... is to form pills! Think about it, she has only been practicing for a few years, and she is forming pills outside? And the news was not disclosed in advance at all, it is really strange." Su
. Chen didn't have a serious reason, he could only talk about things emotionally.
Qin Chuyang obviously also felt that Su Chen's current words could not withstand scrutiny, especially regarding Su Yi's cultivation.
He laughed back and said: "Ah Chen, must he have forgotten that we became Taoist couples without knowing it, and our cultivation has also entered the stage of forming an elixir, but our memories stay in the present moment, and everything around us is not necessarily the same. It’s an illusion...Isn’t what we experienced even stranger?”
To say it was bizarre, their unknown experience was indeed even more shocking. If it were made public, many people's jaws might be shocked.
But at the same time, I don’t know how many people will think that they have obtained some secret inheritance and want to pry some information out of their mouths.
"Brother Qin's words make sense, but... Su Yi's name does not even appear in the Book of Fortune, and even Ye Yuan, who has fallen into the secret realm of Juxi, left his handwriting on it. And the relationship with me The bad guys Su Zhe and Su Xiangrong are also here. If that's the case, why isn't Su Yi?"
Su Chen couldn't speculate forward, so he simply reasoned backwards.
Perhaps it is Su Yi's disappearance from the Book of Fortune that indicates something is wrong with her.
Qin Chuyang said: "It is also possible that your relationship was originally not good and has never improved. As we all know, in the Book of Fortune, only close relatives and friends recognized by a Taoist couple are eligible to sign their names."
" Yes...but why do I think she has bad intentions no matter what I think?"
Su Chen rubbed his chin, really puzzled.
There is often a certain reason for hating someone.
Some people dislike others because of certain qualities, and some people dislike others because of their appearance.
But Su Yi herself, although she was a bit annoying in the past, was not a heinous person; Su Chen was not afraid of women, and even thought that just looking at Su Yi's beautiful face and moonlight appearance, which inherited Su Linbing's fine blood, was pleasing to the eye.
It is said that a monk's intuition is the most accurate, but there may be times when the intuition is not wrong... Could it be that it was not Su Yi who made him wary or even threatened, but something else?
"That's all, my hair is about to fall out, and there's no use just making assumptions." Su Chen smiled coldly, "The library is close to Qingxi Stream. I have asked Elder Gu to help and keep more guard over the monks brought by Su Yi. See if there is anyone with ulterior motives among them. Since you plan to do harm to our Hehuan Sect, you have to pay the price." "Take
precautions before it happens."
Qin Chuyang nodded appreciatively.
"By the way, Brother Qin, I suddenly discovered recently that there seems to be something hidden in my sea of consciousness. Unfortunately, I can't detect it. Why don't you come and do me a little favor?" Su Chen asked.
Qin Chuyang said in a sincere tone: "Letting others enter your sea of consciousness is equivalent to putting your vitals in the hands of others. Although the relationship between you and me is good, it should not be enough to be able to rely on your life..."
Su While teasing, Chen stretched out his index finger and poked his fist twice: "Brother Qin, could it be that we have forgotten that we are already Taoist couples? Maybe, I don't know how many times I have gone in and out, how can I still do it?" Do you care about this time?"
"This... no, you can't! Ah Chen, don't talk nonsense, we are not yet capable of doing this, this kind of thing... ahem, it doesn't matter. Don't mention it again in the future, otherwise , I'm going to be angry!"
Qin Chuyang pointed at this scene, his fingers were trembling, feeling that the other party was so angry with Meng Lang, how could there be a good thing in practicing dual cultivation before getting married?
Bah, what a good thing this is!
He immediately fled out in a panic, and soon returned to his cave at another peak.
"Hahahaha - Brother Qin is so interesting."
Su Chen laughed, and the image of Qin Chuyang's stuttering kept appearing in his mind, and he felt that he understood more and more why he chose him as a Taoist companion.
She's so adorable. Where else in the world can you find someone as lovable as Brother Qin?
However, he did not lie. Through accumulated practice over time, he did discover that there were some secrets in his sea of consciousness.
This kind of secret cannot be solved by himself, so it may be the work of the "mastermind" behind the scenes.
But one thing is true as Qin Chuyang said, that is, their relationship has not yet reached the level where they can put down all guard and enter each other's sea of consciousness.
That's because they haven't experienced any "life and death together", and they are just getting into each other's daily life.
Over time, it will become natural.
