Estranged

Chapter 118: The original itinerary and destiny have

In Jiang Li's view, the two in front of him are very strange.

The origin of the sect is a mystery, the purpose here is a mystery, and whether it is an enemy or a friend is a mystery.

Their cultivation level is not low, but their names have never been heard, as if they appeared out of thin air, without roots, flying immortals.

But Jiang Li still chooses to believe them, because he has no choice.

"In Wanjian Xianzong, my aptitude is actually not the best. Eldest brother Yao Wangnian is a genius who has never been born in the world for a hundred years and is expected by everyone."

Jiang Li remembered the extent of Yao Wangnian's genius.

They worshiped the sect at the age of six. At first, they were not disciples of the inner sect. All newcomers were classified as outer sects. They started to learn basic skills, reading, standing, reciting scriptures, and learning swords. Almost every disciple of Wanjian Xianzong, up to The suzerain, down to the outer door to patrol the disciples, they all come here like this.

At that time, the elders of the outer sect assigned homework and asked them to memorize a book of mental methods within three days. The mental method was as thick as a knuckle, and the content inside was difficult and obscure. For them as children, it was very difficult to understand. I don't know what to read a certain word in it, let alone memorize it. Jiang Li recited hard for three days, and only memorized half of the book. When the elders of the outer sect took the exam, he stuttered and made several mistakes, but Yao Wangnian was good at every word from beginning to end. Let everyone look at him with admiration, even the elder said that he has never seen such a talented seedling in the Wanjian Immortal Sect for so many years.

Soon they were selected into the inner sect because of their outstanding performance, and Jiang Li and Yao Wangnian were even more fortunate to become disciples who were then the elders of the Xingfeng Peak.

Master Luomei is knowledgeable and talented, and his cultivation is extremely high. To Jiang Li and the others, he is like a master and a father. After Luomei took charge of the Wanjian Immortal Sect, Yao Wangnian took it for granted that he became the chief disciple of the suzerain, that is, the senior brother of the disciples of the Wanjian Immortal Sect. .

Yao Wangnian has outstanding aptitude, stunning talents, and was already a high-ranking monk at a young age. He even made a big splash at the Qianlin Meeting. The Lone Moon Sword overwhelmed all the heroes, impressing the monks all over the world. Since then, the Lone Moon Daoist The name spread like wildfire, and countless young girls secretly agreed with him, seeing him as the candidate for Taoism in their hearts.

Jiang Li sketched out the image of a young genius who became famous in a few words, but Yun Weisi didn't interrupt, because he knew that what the other party said was just to pave the way for the next turning point.

Sure enough, Jiang Li changed the topic.

"However, ten years ago, Brother Yao was suddenly expelled from the school."

Yun Weisi: "What happened?"

Jiang Li shook his head: "I don't know, I just remember that there was a sudden fire in the scripture building that night."

That fire was not an ordinary fire, but a red lotus karmic fire, and no amount of water could extinguish it.

The Cangjing Building is where the classics of the Wanjian Immortal Sect are treasured. It contains not only the mind skills and sword formulas written by the ancestors of the past dynasties, but also many secrets of cultivation that are not passed on to the outside world. Only then can one go inside to observe and study, and those who go in are all silent when they come out, but they have gained a lot, and they all think that they have made an unprecedented breakthrough, which shows the significance of the Sutra Library to Wanjian Immortal Sect.

But such a place actually caught fire, and the arsonist was none other than Yao Wangnian, the big brother who was tacitly assumed to be the successor of the next suzerain.

The inexhaustible treasures of the past dynasties in the Sutra Pavilion were burned, and even the elder and two disciples who guarded the Sutra Pavilion were burned to death.

Wanjian Xianzong suffered a heavy loss, and the whole faction was greatly shaken.

Jiang Li even remembered that when he was called away, Master Luomei looked haggard and tired, as if he had aged decades overnight. His originally handsome face, which did not show his age, had unknowingly crept into wrinkles, and even his temples were bruised. Dye star white.

In front of everyone, Daoist Luomei confessed his mistakes, said that he was not strict with his disciples, and was willing to step down as suzerain, retreat and repent, and punish himself.

But this matter has nothing to do with Master Luomei. For a long time, he treated all his disciples equally. People were convinced, and they had no other intentions. When they heard that Master Luomei was going to resign because of his disciple's mistakes, they begged him to stay.

Since that night, the name Yao Wangnian has become a taboo of the Wanjian Xianzong. The disciples who started a few years later did not even know that the Wanjian Xianzong once had a talented senior brother, and they all thought that Jiang Li was big brother.

"Why do you think Yao Wangnian burned down the Buddhist scriptures building, and he admitted it himself?" Jiufang Changming asked.

"No. But I remember that a few days before the accident, Senior Brother Yao was a little unusual. His mood was irritable, and his words were inconsistent. He has always been very persistent in his cultivation. Talk to him heart-to-heart, who would have thought that he would lose his temper without saying a word."

Jiang Li's memory was exceptionally clear, that day Yao Wangnian was not only furious, he was furious.

He pointed at Jiang Li's nose and cursed: "Idiot, do you think you are smart? Do you covet the position of senior brother? Do you want to be suzerain now? Let me tell you, don't think about it for the rest of your life!"

Jiang Li was dumbfounded at the time, because although Yao Wangnian was extremely talented, he never had such an arrogant personality. Usually, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters was good, and Yao Wangnian did not show superiority just because he surpassed Jiang Li in cultivation. sense.

That day Yao Wangnian had an uncharacteristic personality change, and Jiang Li even suspected that he was possessed by something dirty.

"Master said, Senior Brother Yao encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation. The more anxious he was to break through, the more he couldn't break through. In the end, his mind became frenzied and he went mad. He burned down the Sutra Library and buried himself in it." Jiang Li sigh.

Yun Wei asked thoughtfully, do you believe what your master said?

But after thinking about it, his question was very unreasonable. When he came back after a hundred years, he naturally knew that there was a problem with Luo Mei, but Jiang Li didn't know about it, and what happened to Yao Wangnian might not necessarily be related to Luo Mei.

Now if Yun Weisi tells Jiang Li that your master will take away your body in the future and launch a plan to destroy the world, Jiang Li will probably regard him as a lunatic.

Yao Wangnian once went to Huangquan and retrieved the red lotus karmic fire from there. He combined this fire with his own mind to create the original nine-turn red lotus, which is extremely powerful. When he was completely burned by the fire of Honglianye, many people would suspect Yao Wangnian even if Master Luomei didn't say anything.

A lot of things happened in ten years, Master Luomei did not resign in the end, but he often stayed out of seclusion. The general affairs of the sect gradually fell on several elders and Jiang Li, and Jiang Li gradually stood out and became the actual suzerain.

But he himself does not love power, and he has no interest in being the suzerain. He is even bored with the endless affairs of the Wanjian Immortal Sect every day. an elder.

After going down the mountain, Jiang Li was originally relaxed, like a bird out of a cage, wishing he could fly ninety thousand miles with his wings, but not far from Hongluo Town, he saw a person who looked exactly like Yao Wangnian.

Maybe many people have forgotten Yao Wangnian's appearance, this person is like a shooting star passing through the sky, dazzling but short-lived, but for Jiang Li, he will never forget this senior brother who grew up together.

The moment he saw Yao Wangnian, Jiang Li's original itinerary and destiny changed.

"I chased all the way to Hongluo Town, but I lost people. I didn't want to give up, so I found a pharmacy in the town and settled down temporarily. I became a doctor here. I didn't expect that Hongluo Town is not peaceful recently. Things happened one after another, and I almost suspected..."

Jiang Li smiled wryly, but didn't continue.

Yun Weisi could hear his subtext—wherever Yao Wangnian went, accidents would happen, and Jiang Li almost suspected that Yao Wangnian killed these people.

"Currently there are fox spirits and succubi in the town. They may have been specially lured here, but I haven't been able to find the murderer behind the scenes yet, so I have to stay silent and dormant so as not to scare the snake. Since the two of you also want to find out the truth, then Our goal is the same, why not join hands.”

Yun Weisi believed that the person in front of him was not Jiang Li who was taken away by Luomei, but the real Jiang Li.

Because of his demeanor and tone, he was completely different from Jiang Li who was more than a hundred years later.

Even if words and deeds can be imitated, the tone of speech and the interval of pauses are unique to each person.

They not only saw the real Jiang Li, but also heard an old secret about the Wanjian Immortal Sect.

The current situation is complicated, and Jiang Li knows that Yun Weisi and the two still have doubts about him, and honesty is the prerequisite for cooperation, so he simply confessed the matter in order to gain their trust.

Chang Ming: "Are you sure Yao Wangnian is still alive?"

Jiang Li: "I'm not sure, but I hope he's still alive, so I can ask him face to face why he set fire to the scripture building, where he went these years, and what happened."

Yun Weisi: "About the murderer, do you have any thoughts now?"

Jiang Li waved four fingers: "There are four suspicious ones. One is Catcher Xing. He is not a high-level cultivator, he is considered a half monk, but I heard that he wanted to go to the Divine Firmament Mansion several times in the early years because of his aptitude. Ordinarily, he was rejected. For the sake of cultivation, he might cooperate with the Dream Demon Fox Spirit, in exchange for human life, and let Jingmei give him the inner alchemy. The second is the town supervisor. This town supervisor has been in Hongluo Town for seven or eight years. The influence is deep-rooted, but it rarely shows up, and it is mysterious. The third is the owner of the He family caravan who is traveling with you, that old He. Originally there were only these three, but now there is one more."

Chang Ming continued: "The Mr. An that Xing Tutou called just now."

Jiang Li nodded: "That's right, it's him."

As soon as the voice fell, a scream came from not far away.

The faces of the three changed slightly, and they followed the prestige.

The source of the sound was the dense forest outside the town. Chi Bijiang and Sun Wuxia ran all the way, but they couldn't escape the speed of the will-o'-the-wisp. Seeing Youlan's will-o'-the-wisp rushing towards them, both of them would be buried here, and a sword light came through the air , Instantly chopped the will-o'-the-wisps above their heads into powder.

Chi Bijiang looked back abruptly, and saw the man holding the sword formula, handsome and handsome, like a **** descended from the sky, saving people from fire and water.

"How dare the evildoer run away?"

The man pointed casually, and the sword light turned into a sword curtain, erected in front of Chi Bijiang, blocking all the will-o'-the-wisps behind him, and then slashed them with the sword.
