Please give me a chance to be a straight man

"Brother Jiang Xun, long time no see."

Seeing the face of the speaker, Jiang Xun couldn't help frowning slightly, "An Luoer."

"I didn't expect Brother Jiang Xun to still remember me. I'm really happy."

Jiang Xun didn't intend to reminisce with her, and asked straight to the point, "Where is Qu Qingge now?"

An Luoer replied, "I can't tell you that. But you can rest assured that I don't intend to kill him."

Seeing that what she said didn't look like a lie, Shen Xu couldn't help asking, "Then what's your purpose in arresting him?"

An Luoer looked at Shen Xu, saw that he was very unfamiliar, and thought he was a disciple of Wan Jianshan, so she replied, "I have to ask your mountain master, he knows everything very well."

After An Luoer finished speaking, she winked at Jiang Xun again, "Brother Jiang Xun, we are destined to meet again."

Then the talisman turned into ashes and dissipated.

After Shen Xu and Jiang Xun buried the corpses of several monks, they left the secret realm of the sky and arrived at Wanjian Mountain.

Wan Jianshan was as peaceful as when Shen Xu and the others first arrived, it can be seen that none of the disciples of Wanjianshan had heard the news of Qu Qingge's arrest.

So Shen Xu and Jiang Xun hurriedly asked their disciples to inform the mountain master Qu Changqing of the news of Qu Qingge's arrest.

Qu Changqing is a kind-looking middle-aged man. When he heard that his beloved disciple was taken away by Moxiu, his face turned pale instantly.

"Did Moxiu say anything when he took my apprentice away?"

Shen Xu shook his head, "When we arrived, Qu Qingge had already been taken away. What we saw was the magic talisman projection of Moxiu, during which Moxiu didn't tell us why he captured Qu Qingge. But he said, senior, you know Why was Qu Qingge arrested?"

Qu Changqing suddenly looked at Shen Xu, as if trying to identify the truth of what he said.

At this time, Jiang Xun stood in front of Shen Xu and said to Qu Changqing, "Senior, I was also there at the time, and what my junior brother said was not false."

Qu Changqing's expression turned even worse at this time, and he began to pace back and forth non-stop.

Seeing this, Shen Xu exchanged glances with Jiang Xun, then stepped forward and said to Qu Changqing, "Senior, can you tell us why the demon cultivators pestered you, maybe my brother and I can help."

Qu Changqing glanced at Jiang Xun and Shen Xu, sighed, and said, "It's okay for me to tell you. In fact, the entanglement between our Wanjian Mountain and Moxiu began more than 100 years ago."

Shen Xu nodded, "Could it be that what the senior wants to talk about is the matter between the great sword cultivator and the former Demon Venerable and Ghost Corpse Venerable, we have already heard about it on the way here."

Qu Changqing shook his head, "The truth is not what the rumors say."

Shen Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and waited quietly for Qu Changqing to continue.

Qu Changqing went on to say, "Our sword master ancestor nearly died in the secret realm of the demon cultivator, but was rescued by Lan Huan and the ghost corpse venerable. Later, he wanted to give the Soul Devourer Sword to one of them. It is also true, but the reason is not because the ancestors were moved by their true temperament, but because they want them to fight among themselves and severely damage the demon cultivators."

"The ancestor got to know Lan Huan and Ghost Corpse Venerable through several months of getting along with them. At the same time, he also knew that they were all vying for the position of Demon Venerable, so he used the pretext of sending the Soul Devourer Sword to cause friction between them. The ancestor originally wanted to give the Soul-eating Sword to the Ghost Corpse Venerable, but the Ghost Corpse Venerable's swordsmanship was far from that of Lan Huan. So the Ghost Corpse Venerable wanted to give the Soul-Eating Sword to Lan Huan. But Lan Huan He was honest and didn't want to accept the Soul-devouring Sword, so the ancestor proposed to let the two fight, and whoever wins the Soul-devouring Sword will go to him. The result is naturally Lan Huan wins, but the Ghost Corpse Venerable was also injured."

"At that time, the demon cultivators were in a serious internal conflict. As soon as the demon cultivators heard that the ghost corpse was injured, they all started to commotion. And Lan Huan had no choice but to ascend to the position of the demon cultivator in order to suppress these demon cultivators. The ancestor added fuel to the matter After informing Venerable Ghost Corpse, Venerable Ghost Corpse immediately went to Lan Huan to fight. Lan Huan saw that he couldn't explain clearly to Venerable Ghost Corpse, so he locked him in a secret place and released him after he calmed down. But who Venerable Ghost Corpse actually died in a secret realm."

Hearing this, Shen Xu couldn't help interjecting, "The death of Venerable Ghost Corpse was done by Senior Sword Cultivator?"

Qu Qingshan nodded sullenly. "Later, Lan Huan found out the cause of Venerable Ghost Corpse's death, so he accused the ancestor of colluding with the demon cultivator, and the Soul Eater Sword was the evidence. So the ancestor was severely punished, and then Lan Huan killed all of the ancestor's direct disciples. And let it out, if any sect dares to make friends with Wan Jianshan, it will be difficult for the Mozong."

"At that time, the influence of the Demon Sect was far stronger than that of the four major sects today, so basically no one in the orthodox sect dared to sing against the Demon Sect. Our Wanjian Mountain has since declined, and until more than ten years ago, the Demon Cultivator If we are defeated, Sect Master Qi becomes the Immortal Venerable, and our Wanjian Mountain will be considered alive again."

Shen Xu nodded, "Since the demon cultivator has been silent for more than ten years, why did he suddenly come to Wanjian Mountain? Could it be because of the old suzerain's order? I think it is unlikely."

Qu Changqing took a look at Shen Xu, and replied, "The demon cultivator really came to me for something else."

"What's the matter?"

"They asked me to repair a magic weapon."

Shen Xu was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "What magic weapon is it?"

"Yes..." Before Qu Changqing finished speaking, a huge black hole suddenly appeared behind him, and dozens of pale arms stretched out from it.These arms covered Qu Changqing's face and body, and quickly dragged him into the black hole.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun quickly drew his sword and slashed at those arms to rescue Qu Changqing, but Qu Changqing shook his head at them as if he had expected it.

Seeing this, Shen Xu and Jiang Xun had no choice but to stop.After Qu Changqing disappeared, Shen Xu went to his study, trying to find some clues.

Sure enough, a crumpled ball of paper was found in a corner.Shen Xu opened it and saw that there was a magic weapon like a compass painted on it.

Shen Xu carefully looked at it for a long time, and found that he hadn't seen it before, so he handed the paper to Jiang Xun, "Look at this painting, what is it?"

Jiang Xun took it over and took a look, and immediately his face became gloomy.

Upon seeing this, Shen Xu asked, "What's the matter, is there something strange about this magic weapon?"

Jiang Xun shook his head, "What is drawn on this paper is a magic weapon, but it is actually a compass of life and death."

"It seems a bit familiar."

Jiang Xun explained, "At the beginning of the battle between righteousness and demons, demon cultivators used this compass to massacre many of our righteous monks."

Shen Xu's eyes widened when he heard the words, "Is this magic weapon so powerful?!"

"This compass has two magic circles, one is the main defense of the life circle, and the other is the main attack of the death circle. If the two magic circles operate at the same time, the monk who casts the spell is basically invincible. But the life and death compass needs to be See blood, so no matter which formation is activated, someone will die."

After hearing this, Shen Xu couldn't help sighing, "Who is so wicked to research this magic weapon?!"

Jiang Xun took a deep look at Shen Xu, and replied, "It's you."
