Chapter 3 Hold on and Don't Panic!
"Why did the Patriarch suddenly ask us to go to the main hall?" Pei Ling frowned. He was just a sidekick, the kind whose father didn't love his mother and didn't love him. Since he was young, he didn't see the Patriarch more than one hand.
"Return to the seventh son." The servant hurriedly went to inform the next master, and said hurriedly while turning around, "It was Zheng Xianshi who came back from outside and asked the master to do this. You should go there as soon as possible, Zheng Xianshi seems to be in a bad mood good."
Pei Ling's heart was shocked, and he quickly calculated the feasibility of continuing to abscond.
Unfortunately, the survival rate is basically zero.
Because although he has just been promoted to the third level of Qi training and is capable of fighting lions and tigers, not to mention the disciples of Chong Mingzong, even the whole Pei family can easily arrange him.
The key is that the family rules of the Pei Mansion are strict, and the head of the family summoned them, but if ordinary people are in the mansion, if they don't come within a stick of incense, experts will come to check and deal with them immediately.
Especially this time the convening was still for Zheng Jingshan, in order not to lose face in front of the disciples of Chong Mingzong, Pei's actions would only be more agile. If he runs away now, he probably won't even be able to get out of the door of Pei's house.
"Don't panic!" Pei Ling calmed down and analyzed calmly, "If Zheng Jingshan knew that I entered his room to steal the bone quenching pill, I'm afraid the Pei family would have sent someone to arrest or even kill me on the spot, instead of just sending a mortal servant to notify me. I come over……"
Thinking of this, he stopped the boy who had already walked a while, "Master Zheng went to the main hall just after he came back? Didn't you go back to Biwu Courtyard to rest?"
"No." The boy shook his head and urged him again, "Seventh Young Master, please leave quickly, don't make the immortal master wait! Otherwise, the Patriarch might not be lenient."
Pei Ling weighed quickly: "Okay, I'll go right away."
A moment later, Pei's mansion was in the main hall.
The head of the family, Pei Xuan, sat upright, the eldest son, Pei Hongnian, stood beside him, and the three elders sat down, all with solemn expressions.
And on the seat of the guest of honor was a young man with a resolute and handsome face like a crown of jade. It was Zheng Jingshan, an inner disciple of Chongming Sect!
After Pei Ling went inside to greet the Patriarch, Pei Xuan waved his hand casually, signaling him to retreat to the side like everyone else, waiting for orders.
From beginning to end, no one cared about him.
This kind of disregard finally allowed Pei Ling to regain a sense of security as a dog.
Obviously, Zheng Jingshan didn't know about Biwuyuan yet.
This is so good!
Pei Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly adjusted his expression. Like the surrounding Pei disciples, he looked at the first five people with curiosity and awe.
The realm of cultivation in this world is divided into Qi training period, foundation building period, and alchemy period... Among them, the Qi training period is subdivided into one to nine levels, and after the ninth level, there is foundation building, and there are early and middle stages There are three stages in the later stage, and above the later stage of foundation establishment, is the formation of alchemy.
As for the realm above alchemy, there is no record in Pei's family school at all. After all, the huge Luquan City doesn't even have a foundation building period, and the number one master on the surface is Pei Xuan, who is for the seventh level of Qi Refining.
The eldest son Pei Hongnian, who was highly expected by the family and spent a lot of resources to send him to the outer sect of Chongming Sect, has so far only reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.
As for the two disciples of Chongming Sect, Zheng Jingshan alone is still young, but they are already in the middle stage of foundation establishment.
In other words, as long as Zheng Jingshan is willing, one person can slaughter the entire Luquan City.
Therefore, it's no wonder that the whole Pei family didn't dare to neglect this person's order.
Pei Ling was thinking about the other party's purpose in summoning Pei's children, when he suddenly noticed someone looking at him with hostility not far away.
He looked subconsciously, and saw Pei Tu, his half-brother in this life, glaring at him viciously.
"Is it the wrong way for me to behave today?" Pei Ling was puzzled. Although the relationship between him and this cheap brother had never been very good, as he became marginalized in the family, the stepmother and son felt that he had been trampled on. Usually, he turned a blind eye when he came in and out, so why did he suddenly show obvious hostility now?
Pei Ling's mood suddenly became heavy, "Or did he drift away after activating the system without knowing it?"
He was carefully reflecting on his various performances during this period of time, whether they violated the morals, but he saw a young man approaching Pei Xuan, and after whispering a few words in his ear, Pei Xuan nodded slightly, coughed lightly, There was a sudden silence in the hall.
I saw Pei Xuan said to Zheng Jingshan with a very respectful attitude: "Fellow Daoist Zheng, all the children of my family are here, please give orders to fellow Daoist Zheng."
Zheng Jingshan opened his eyes expressionlessly, glanced at the crowd casually, and said indifferently: "Wu Tingxi, a traitor from our sect, has fled into Yuanlao Mountain recently, and his whereabouts are unknown now. You will search the mountain immediately, and if you find any traces of Wu Tingxi, you will be rewarded with fifty coins." Bone Tempering Pill."
"If there is no problem, we can start now."
After hearing this, all the disciples of the Pei family had different expressions, and they all subconsciously looked at the Patriarch, the eldest son, and the elders.
Pei Xuan looked distressed, and coughed dryly: "Fellow Daoist Zheng, after all, Wu Tingxi was once a senior student of the noble sect, and he was also a direct disciple of Elder Luo. Pei heard that his cultivation has reached the seventh level of Qi training, and my son's strength is weak. ..."
"Don't worry!" Zheng Jingshan said lightly, "Wu Tingxi is seriously injured right now, and his cultivation base is not one out of ten. Even a monk who has just entered the path can take him down. He is now a bereaved dog, and he never dares to show his face. .”
Pei Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and looked around the room full of children: "Have you heard clearly? Who dares to be negligent and spoil the important matter of Zheng Daoyou, don't blame the master for being ruthless!"
As he spoke, a figure appeared in the hall. It was a man with a sullen face and cold eyes. He introduced, "This is Wu Tingxi, the traitor of the Holy Sect. If you find him, don't delay and send a signal for help to the clan. At that time, Zheng Daoyou will arrive and capture him."
A group of Pei's children said in unison: "Follow the order of the Patriarch!"
Pei Xuan nodded: "Why don't you hurry up and leave?"
Seeing that everyone else was already ready to leave, Pei Ling quickly pretended to be excited, wrapped up in the crowd and went out.
Then he moved his feet and walked quietly to the front of the crowd.
He has already made up his mind that when he leaves the city, everyone will go to Yuanlao Mountain, this is his chance to leave quietly and escape thousands of miles away.
Anyway, all the important things have been brought, and you can run away at any time.
Otherwise, Zheng Jingshan still doesn't know that someone broke into his house and stole something, and he will go back later to have a look...he must still be cold!
...Watching many Pei's disciples leave, Pei Xuan smiled and said to Zheng Jingshan: "Fellow Daoist Zheng, my house recently received some spirit tea. I wonder if fellow Daoists have a taste for it?"
"No need." Zheng Jingshan stood up and said indifferently, "I have to go back to Biwu Courtyard. Patriarch Pei is kind enough to take it later."
He hurried to Biwu Courtyard, but he didn't go to the house where he lived, but went to a more secluded abode at the back.
The exterior of the abode is elegant, and there is a string of wind chimes hanging under the eaves, which sway gently in the wind. Against the surrounding eaves and green bamboos, it is very pleasant.
If you look carefully, you will find that the wind chime is strung together with skulls, and countless phantom human faces twist and struggle on it, making a silent roar.
Rao Zheng Jingshan had already established the foundation, and he couldn't help feeling dizzy when he accidentally glanced at it at this moment.
He hurriedly kept his mind, turned his gaze to the ground, and bowed respectfully outside the door of the monastery. Before he could speak, an extremely cold voice came from inside: "Has anyone been found?"
"Returning to Senior Sister, it has been confirmed that Wu Tingxi has fled to Yuanlao Mountain, Elder Luo's other disciples have all been put to death, and the Secret Code of the Six Desires must be in his hands." Zheng Jingshan hurriedly said, "I have let the Pei family..."
"Trash!" He was interrupted before he finished speaking, and the people in the room scolded coldly, "I don't have so much time to spend here. Don't be idle, go find it together! You won't see Liuyu within three days. Secret Code, I have drawn your soul refiner!"
Zheng Jingshan's complexion changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down: "Yes!"
After a while, seeing that there was no more order from the people in the room, he got up and exited cautiously.
When I got outside, I only felt a layer of cold sweat on my back.
He glanced sideways at his room, hesitating for a while, but he didn't dare to delay, he didn't even say hello to Pei's family, he left in a hurry and went straight to Yuanlao Mountain.
At the same time, Pei Ling escaped smoothly while the large army passed by a forest.
Yuanlao Mountain is in the north of Luquan City, he came out of the woods, identified the direction, and headed southwest. This is a wilderness. After passing through, it is the official road, which can lead to several other cities.
He had already made up his mind to go to the nearest city first, and if he hadn't been arrested after arriving, he would disguise himself and quickly find a long-distance team to mix in and go as far as he could.
Although the Bone Forging Art does not place much emphasis on speed, but after the iron bones are fully formed, the whole body is full of strength, and the steps are naturally much faster than before.
Pei Ling was worried that Zheng Jingshan had already discovered the scene in Biwu Courtyard, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and ran for more than an hour at a stretch, only to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw no one around.
But soon, he felt something was wrong.
Someone is watching him!
