Lights on the other side

The temple was very empty, and there were no believers long ago. There were eighteen auxiliary gods lined up on both sides of the main god. The paint was mottled, and their faces were blurred. It was hard to tell whether they were crying or laughing.The murals at the back are also much peeled off, depicting long-forgotten gods.

Jiang Qiyun sat cross-legged under a statue, closed his eyes and meditated. There were only seven or eight disciples scattered around him, all of whom looked very sad.

"Master, do we want to have peace talks with them?" a disciple asked cautiously.

"What are you talking about? Zigui, are we going to compromise with those monsters?" Another disciple's voice cut in.

"I didn't mean that, it was just a stopgap measure."

The disciple called Zigui turned his head angrily.

"Then when we make an agreement, can we go back on our word?"

"Dan Sheng, you are too serious."

One of the disciples was afraid that they would quarrel, so he hurried forward to smooth things over.

"We have so few people now, what can we do?"

"The big deal is death."

"If you want to die, you go."

The two didn't stop, but the quarrel became more intense. A female disciple burst into tears when she saw this situation.

"Stop arguing, what are you arguing about...it's this time..."

When Dan Sheng saw it, he hurriedly said, "You made Xiao Yi cry."

Zigui retorted: "Are you blind? It's clearly you!"

"you!"

At the end of the quarrel, Jiang Qiyun didn't make a sound to stop him, and kept meditating quietly to rest.After everything calmed down, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Master Luo, what do you think?"

On the other side, there were actually two people standing, a middle-aged man with a smile on his face and a young man with an expressionless face.

"Me?"

The middle-aged man's voice was not loud, but he was calm and calm.

"If it were me, I would go out and talk to them, and I won't be able to get out if I stay here."

"They gave us one night."

"Yiye, do you think they can come? It's already this time, isn't Head Jiang still counting on them to go down the mountain?"

Jiang Qiyun sighed and said, "Indeed, we can't count on it."

"The patriarchs of the two clans bite tightly. Mr. Jiang and I can't go out after we come in."

Jiang Qiyun's eyes slowly moved to the young man in white. The young man in white's eyes were cold, with a strange blush in the corner of his eyes.He smiled and said, "This is Jiang Kujiu, Mr. Jiang? I have long admired you."

Ginger bitter wine said neither salty nor weak: "Master Jiang."

There is no more text.

Luo Lianzhao continued: "Is it because their conditions are not satisfactory?"

"Their conditions are not unacceptable, but in this case, no."

Jiang Qiyun spoke seriously, and the surrounding disciples also listened quietly.

"That would be difficult."

"Drag head Luo."

"That's all right."

The two of them talked like this, going back and forth, but they didn't really discuss a solution.

Time is hard to bear in this situation.Someone from the side asked in a low voice: "What do you think about Song Lai and Yue seeing them?"

"do not know."

"Aren't they coming back and forth?"

"do not know."

The entire hall fell silent, and the dim light of the candlelight shone on the face of the statue.

"Now that things have happened, I really want to worship this god and see if he can really bless us."

This was a joke, and Jiang Qiyun said it just to appease the young disciple who was in panic next to him.

Those young faces still couldn't hide any emotions. He thought he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was the same, without concealing or deceiving.At that time, it seems that he lacked heart and lungs now, but at that time, the people he faced were all inexperienced, and he had no power or influence, and he could not be cheated out of money.After he came to power, he became cautious instead, married a wife and had children in peace, and passed these decades without any achievements.How this hypocrisy is practiced is also unintentional.Maybe it's because I have been in the world for a long time, and I do it naturally.

After so many years of cultivating the Tao, although I have cultivated a pure heart and few desires, I also understand what is when the water is clear and there are no fish.

He suddenly thought of Xie Zijin.

Over there, Luo Lianzhao looked at Jiang Qiyun without a trace. The reason why Jiang Qiyun couldn't sit up in meditation was to prevent others from finding out that he was seriously injured, but he could also deceive those little disciples. unstable.

Luo Lianzhao looked at Jiang Kujiu who was beside him. Jiang Kujiu seemed to stay out of the matter, leaning on a pillar, not knowing what he was thinking.He walked over, patted Jiang Kujiu on the shoulder, and said, "Take a break."

Jiang Kujiu replied with two words: "No need."

The atmosphere relaxed for a while, and some disciples also began to sit on the ground, with obvious fatigue showing in their brows.Luo Lianzhao came to Jiang Qiyun, and asked in a warm voice: "Is the head of Jiang planning to wait like this?"

Jiang Qiyun was shrouded in the shadow of Luo Lianzhao, he looked at the humanity in front of him and said: "We will go out in half an hour, when the time comes, whether we live or die depends on the destiny."

Luo Lianzhao didn't speak, and after a while, he smiled abruptly, and said, "I really couldn't see you as such a person before."

With a movement of his hand, a sword slipped out of his hand without a sound, piercing Jiang Qiyun's body.

"The group of monsters won't kill you. They don't want to hurt both sides. In this way, I can only fulfill the righteousness of Sect Leader Jiang."

He pulled out the sword, and the blood flowed down the sword.

Just now Jiang Qiyun subconsciously dodged to the side, but missed the vital point.Luo Lianzhao sneered, and wanted to stab again, but Jiang Qiyun grabbed the sword firmly.

"Master!"

The disciple next to him was stunned by this change, and after realizing it, he rushed forward.

"Don't come over!" Jiang Qiyun roared.

Beside Jiang Kujiu straightened up, and with just a glance, the hearts of all the disciples went cold, a sense of fear arose for no reason, and they abruptly stopped in their tracks.

Jiang Qiyun's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and said, "Luo Lianzhao, it's really you."

"That's how you know?"

Jiang Qiyun endured the pain and supported the sword to stand up, and when he opened his hand again, it was already dripping with blood.Jiang Kujiu flew towards the disciples behind him, intending to silence him, a light flashed in his hand, and all the disciples backed away.

Jiang Qiyun got up to stop him, but bumped into Jiang Kujiu's attack, he had no choice but to take a step back, his throat was raw, and he spat out a mouthful of blood heavily.The other party just stopped for a moment, tapped the ground lightly, and without giving him a chance to react, used his hand as a blade to slash towards his neck.Jiang Qiyun protects his body with true energy, and at the same time protects the disciples behind him.

Seeing this, Jiang Kujiu paused for a moment, and immediately slapped it with luck.

There was a loud noise, and the two kinds of true qi fought, and it was obvious that the ginger bitter wine was superior.The main hall had been in disrepair for a long time. As a result, cracks appeared on the pillars next to it, and the beams above it also collapsed.

With a sound of "哐", a hole was broken above the main hall, and broken tiles fell on the ground mixed with dust, and everyone hurriedly dispersed around.

Two people, black and white, jumped down from above, right in between Jiang Qiyun and Jiang Kujiu.
