Liang Yan stretched out his hands and took the wooden box very respectfully.
Although the treasure was in front of him, he was very clear-headed and knew that he should behave at this time. He immediately said with righteous indignation:
"The uncles said it nicely, but this Xuanshuixianmu is our most precious treasure in Narcissus Ridge... They have nothing to lose, so why should we give it away?"
After Lu Qinghe heard this, he sighed softly and remained silent by the river for a long time.
After being silent for a long time, he finally spoke: "Qingshan, the elders and younger ones are in order. Please don't comment on the decisions of the senior uncles. Please send this thing to Grandma Tianchi. Xiangqin will go with you."
"
"But, Master..."
Liang Yan and Xiangqin wanted to say something more, but were interrupted by Lu Qinghe waving his hand.
"Okay, I'm a little tired of being a teacher. You all can go down."
Lu Qinghe's face was bleak and he seemed unwilling to say any more.
Liang Yan thought to himself that he had done enough for the scene, and pretending to be any more would be too much, so he nodded and said respectfully: "Master, take care, my junior sister and I will leave first."
After saying that, he bowed behind Lu Qinghe's back, and then left the cave with Xiangqin.
The two of them came down from Narcissus Ridge and returned to the mountain road. Xiangqin's chatterbox immediately started.
With an angry look on her face, she shouted: "Several martial uncles are also fooled by Lao Hu. These twelve tribulations are all outsiders, but they take the initiative to give away their own sect's most precious treasure to outsiders. This is not a slap in the face."
Dog, is there no return?"
"Perhaps he wants to make good friends with them." Liang Yan shrugged and said, "After all, these people are the ancestors of the calamity who have survived the second disaster. Their strength is unfathomable. If you win over just one person, they will be harmful to Wuzhuang Mountain."
There are many benefits to the future.”
"snort!"
Xiangqin was still angry and shouted: "Let others pay it back. That day, Grandma Chi was a coquettish bitch and a notorious womanizer. She has harmed many male cultivators! Her Cangming Mountain is a place where filth can be hidden.
Earth, we, the authentic Taoist sect of Wuzhuang Mountain, one of the seven mountains and twelve cities, how can we have anything to do with such a person?"
"Perhaps these uncles have ulterior motives. After all, the decisions made above are not something we can criticize." Liang Yandan said calmly.
"You have ulterior motives? I think a few of my uncles are Lao Hutu!"
Xiangqin sneered and said: "Xuanshui Fairy Tree is not their thing, of course they don't feel bad about it! There is competition among the five peaks of Wuzhuang Mountain. I think these uncles just want to see our Shuixian Ridge jokes, for fear that Master will steal theirs.
Limelight!"
"Junior sister, be silent! Don't say these things casually!" Liang Yan motioned to Xiangqin to shut up with his eyes.
However, Xiangqin seemed to be on fire and couldn't stop at all:
"I don't, I want to say it! Those uncles are all immortals and have devoted themselves to cultivating Taoism for a lifetime. In the end, they won't be blinded by this pickled thing like Tianchi's grandma, right? It's not impossible to say that. I heard that Tianchi
Grandma's charm skills are extraordinary, and some of my uncles are unclean, maybe..."
Xiangqin was talking endlessly, but she saw Liang Yan's expression was strange, and he kept winking at her, which made him feel a little confused for a moment.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you? Am I right?"
"Ahem!"
Before Liang Yan could speak, a cough suddenly came from behind him.
Xiangqin's face changed slightly, and she turned around hurriedly, only to see a Taoist priest in brilliant clothes standing behind her.
This man has eagle eyes, a high nose, long and narrow eyes, and a sharp aura all over his body. He is the owner of Jinjia Valley in Wuzhuang Mountain, Zuo Xingzhi!
Xiangqin was taken aback, quickly shut up and bowed:
"See Uncle Zuo!"
"See Uncle Zuo!" Liang Yan also saluted.
"snort!"
Zuo Xingzhi snorted coldly and said in a nonchalant manner: "Forgive me the courtesy. The two nephews talked loudly and scolded all of us old guys. How dare I ask my nephew to salute? Isn't that going to shorten my life!"
"
After hearing this, Liang Yan and Xiangqin felt their hearts tighten.
Insulting the teacher behind his back can be a big or small matter. If Zuo Xingzhi really pursues the investigation, reports it to the sect, and then accuses them of disrespecting the teacher, I'm afraid both of them will suffer.
As the principal culprit, Xiangqin was confined in confinement at worst and punished at worst. Liang Yan, as an accomplice, failed to stop him in time, so naturally he was not able to get away with it.
Liang Yan's identity is disguised, and he is most afraid of encountering this kind of thing. Even if it is a slight punishment, as long as he is placed in the public eye, there is a risk of exposure.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan hurriedly put on a smile, saluted Zuo Xingzhi and said: "Uncle, please don't be angry. The little junior sister is not sensible, speaks arrogantly, and bumps into uncle. I will help her. Master, there are many, uncle."
Don’t be acquainted with her."
"Why don't you accompany her? What's your seniority?"
Zuo Xingzhi said coldly: "If that old guy Lu Qinghe comes, I can barely accept it, but you are only a third-generation disciple, are you qualified to apologize for others?"
"Uncle, I know I was wrong... one person does something and one person is responsible. I hope you can just punish me and not bring harm to my senior brother." Xiangqin said pitifully.
"Hey, I can't tell you, little girl, you are still a bit generous."
Zuo Xingzhi glanced at Xiangqin, seeming a little surprised, and his tone softened a lot: "Well, for the sake of Senior Brother Lu, I won't argue too much with you...Xuanshui Immortal Wood
The matter was the result of a joint discussion between us old guys. Lu Qinghe was also present at the time. If he felt it was inappropriate, he would have objected to it at the time, so you don’t know the whole story, so don’t discuss it at will."
"I know, uncle!"
Liang Yan and Xiang Qin responded at the same time.
Zuo Xingzhi nodded slightly, looked at Liang Yan again, and suddenly smiled and said: "Xuanshui Fairy Tree is Lu Qinghe's treasure. It has been kept in Shuixian Ridge for many years. Even I have never seen it. I happened to meet it today.
Master nephew, you might as well show it to me, and it will also open my eyes as a master uncle."
"this......."
Liang Yan looked hesitant, but he cursed in his heart: "You old fox, you have been going around in circles for a long time, it turns out that this is your real purpose!"
"What? My nephew is unwilling?"
Seeing his hesitation, Zuo Xingzhi had a look of displeasure on his face.
"Uncle Master, it's not that I don't want to, but the Xuanshui Immortal Wood is too precious and is the most important treasure of our Narcissus Ridge! Master Qian warned me and told me to carefully hand it over to Grandma Tianchi and not to pass it on to outsiders."
"In your opinion, uncle, am I an outsider?"
Zuo Xingzhi's face gradually became gloomy: "I'm just a little curious, so I'm going to take a look in front of you. Can I still take away your Shuixian Ridge's treasures? Are you really disrespecting me by pushing back and forth like this?
?Hmph, then I will report what you have done to the sect and let Junior Brother Lei discipline you!"
Lei Lifeng is a tribulation ancestor of Wuzhuang Mountain. Although he only has the ability to overcome difficulties, he is in charge of criminal law and has ruthless methods. He is one of the people most feared by the disciples of Wuzhuang Mountain.
As soon as Zuo Xingzhi said this, Liang Yan and Xiang Qin both changed their expressions.
"This old fox came here for the 'Xuanshui Immortal Wood' today!"
Liang Yan cursed secretly in his heart.
In fact, he has regarded this treasure as his own, so he cannot allow others to interfere with it.
But in this situation, there seems to be no other way. After all, Xiangqin was caught by Zuo Xingzhi. If this matter gets serious, it will not be of any benefit to herself.
And according to Liang Yan's speculation, Zuo Xingzhi shouldn't dare to swallow the Xuanshui Immortal Wood in broad daylight, otherwise how would he end up?
After thinking for a moment, Liang Yan finally made a decision and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, uncle? How dare I be disrespectful to the elders of the sect? Since uncle wants to see it, I can only obey your order."
After that, he took out a gold-rimmed wooden box from his sleeve, took a few steps forward, walked in front of Zuo Xingzhi, and presented it to him with both hands.
"Haha, that's right."
Zuo Xingzhi's face showed a look of satisfaction, and he reached out to take the wooden box.
He didn't hide it either, and opened the box openly in front of Liang Yan and Xiangqin.
As the lid of the box was opened, a strong stream of water-attribute spiritual energy swarmed out, instantly filling the entire mountain road.
When Liang Yan was there, he felt as if he was in the vast ocean. The breeze blew against his face and his spirits were lifted.
"It is indeed a rare treasure!"
Liang Yan sighed in his heart and wanted to take possession of this thing even more.
