Chapter 222 Meeting an old friend
Qingfeng looked at the man's back and didn't move for a long time, as if many things came to his mind at once.
At this time, he walked out of the square and came to a secluded place before opening the note. He saw it said, "Meet you at the ancient temple on Xiaonan Mountain at midnight."
Looking at the familiar handwriting, Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh.
Afterwards, Qingfeng casually found a place to rest.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was midnight in the blink of an eye. Looking at the ancient temple on the small mountain in the breeze, I walked forward without doubting that it was there.
This ancient temple was the place where a powerful monk who practiced Buddhism once practiced, but since that monk left once, he never came back.
When Qingfeng came closer, he saw the plaque on the ancient temple tilted down, but the three big golden characters were still so clear.
"Prajna Temple"
Opening the door, you can see that the temple is extremely dark. Before the breeze blows, there is a little fire in the temple. On the table in front of the hall, a red candle slowly burns.
Under the candlelight, the man showed a familiar face to Qingfeng, it was not Zhongli or someone else.
"Senior Brother Zhongli, why are you here?" Qingfeng's voice was obviously a little excited.
"Junior brother, you are fine."
The two looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.
"We arrived today. This time it's not just me, Mu Aoxue, Qingyun and the others, there are twenty-eight people in total, and we are just the vanguard. I heard that Senior Brother Chen Lantian and Senior Sister Lingyun will also come together this time."
Qingfeng was very excited when he heard the news, and then he hurriedly asked:
"So many, what is your purpose here?"
Qingfeng's expression suddenly changed, thinking that they couldn't just show up with so many people.
Zhongli looked at him for a while, but did not answer his question directly, he just said: "Junior brother, do you have any secrets? We...we don't believe that you are an undercover agent of the Demon Cult, but we don't understand why you transformed that day. Become a demon."
Qingfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Zhong, it's a long story. It can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences. And there are some things you'd better not know."
"Do you know how many of us feel sorry for you? Is what you did really worth it?"
"Why!"
Qingfeng sighed: "Senior brother, there are some things that I have no choice about. I can only take one step at a time."
"Hmph, it's good of you to leave that day. Do you know how much punishment Junior Sister Zixin suffered for you that day?"
"What?"
Qingfeng looked at Zhongli in shock.
Zhong Li glanced at him and said helplessly: "I didn't want to tell you, but at this moment, I think it's not worth it for Junior Sister Zixin. In order to let you escape that day, Junior Sister Zixin did not hesitate to use the Purple Lightning Blue Frost Sword to intercept the pursuers. people.
If Master Fuyao hadn't been present, Junior Sister would have been accused of colluding with the Demon Cult. Even so, she was punished by Daoxuanzong and received a hundred dozen divine whips. She was also punished to think about her faults while facing the wall. Three months. "
Upon hearing the news, Qingfeng's lips trembled slightly and her body trembled. She had never been so excited before.
He couldn't help but feel pain in his heart when he thought of her being whipped but still having that stubborn look on her face.
Zhong Li saw his expression and understood that his junior brother was still the same junior junior brother, but he didn't understand why things developed like this.
"My master...is he...ok?" Qingfeng's voice was a little cold.
"I heard that after your master found out about you, he went to Tathagata Peak in the back mountain and stayed there for three days. Later, someone went to the peak and discovered that the top of Tathagata Peak no longer exists."
When Qingfeng heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist. He thought that his master might have been completely disappointed in him.
He sighed and then realized that he still had an apprentice.
Zhongli told him that Mu Jianxin was very good and hard-working, but because of you, no one dared to have too much contact with him, but I heard that your master had taken Mu Jianxin with him to train him.
Qingfeng nodded, feeling more at ease now.
Before he could ask, Zhongli told him that this time they came here because they had important matters. Not only did Taiyi Sect send a large number of people, but also people from the other six sects came. Something big was going to happen here, and they didn't know the details yet. .
However, in the past few days, people from the seven sects would come one after another. Today when he saw Qingfeng, he couldn't help being frightened, and thought he had seen the wrong person.
After confirming that it was him, Zhongli felt half happy and half worried. He was happy that Qingfeng was still alive and seemed to be doing well, but he was worried that he didn't know how to face him.
But in the end, he still wanted to see him and ask him what he thought.
When Qingfeng heard what he said, he just said that he also had unspeakable difficulties and asked him to understand.
Zhongli knew his junior brother's character, but he really didn't want him to fall into the devil's path. The two of them talked about many things.
Qingfeng also told him that he had found his father and mother, but he did not mention his current identity, for fear that Zhongli would strike him in anger.
But in the end, Qingfeng told Zhongli that he had unfinished business here and could not escape for the time being, so he could only stay.
Seeing that persuading him was ineffective, Zhongli could only say:
"Seven sects have issued a pursuit order. Once your whereabouts are discovered, you will be captured regardless of life or death. You must behave yourself in the future.
This may be the last time we talk as brothers. If I know that you have really joined the Demon Sect and followed them to do evil, we will be enemies of life and death. "
Qingfeng nodded, but his eyes were a little evasive. He didn't dare to look Zhongli in the eye, because he was really afraid that such a day would come.
Zhongli didn't say much, turned around and left, but soon he merged into the darkness outside and disappeared.
Qingfeng stayed alone in the temple, and countless past events flashed through his mind. When those facial masks stayed on Yu Zixin's face, he felt a pain in his heart again. Was it all wrong after all...
The next morning, Qingfeng had a half-face mask on his face. This was a magic weapon mask. It could not be seen through by those below the level of Refining Spirit Returning to Void. It was very safe, and he also wore a bamboo hat with a black veil covering his face.
Of course he had to do what he promised Situ Qiumin. On the one hand, he didn't He wanted to break his promise, but on the other hand, he was very curious about what was going on in the other world.
However, he began to be very careful about his whereabouts in the past few days, and tried not to walk outside, but he could see some familiar faces from the seven sects from time to time.
On this day, he did not expect to see Xue Lichu. He had a lot of interactions with this girl, and he turned around and left in a hurry for fear of being recognized by her.
Xue Lichu was picking something, and suddenly her heart moved. She looked at the place where Qingfeng turned around, watching the people coming and going there, and suddenly a back figure made her feel familiar.
Before she could do anything, a junior sister came over and grabbed her hand, and insisted on pulling her to see something. She shook her head slightly and sighed secretly about what was wrong with her.
