The three of them observed the painting in different ways. Wang Chong was the closest and paid close attention to every detail of the painting. Kong Xuan focused on the overall picture and tried to find hints from the entire painting. Dong Hongyan only relied on feeling, hoping to find clues from the whole painting.
Find the answer in this painting.
Soon, the day passed, and the three of them were all anxious. After all, every time that passed, Fang Shijie and Wei Ming became less hopeful.
"What is it? Why can't I understand it?" Wang Chong scratched his hair anxiously. Although he could find flaws in details during some explorations, this time he felt like he had no clue and was frustrated.
Kong Xuan was rubbing her red and sore eyes at this time, sitting slumped on the chair behind her, and said in frustration: "Strictly speaking, this painting is full of flaws, and the overall layout has no highlights. There is really something in it.
Is there a way to save Senior Brother Wei and Junior Brother Fang?"
Dong Hongyan remained silent. She was staring at the white-haired Taoist in the scroll. Although his hair was gray, his face did not look old. Naturally, he was not an ordinary mortal, but a cultivator!
I don't know if it was intentional or not by the artist, but among the three young people, the honest young man seems to be very similar... very similar to the leader.
boom!
A flash of lightning flashed through her mind, and she suddenly felt like she was seeing something from the clouds. Dong Hongyan seemed to know the truth, and her whole body trembled a little. The other two people also noticed her abnormality and came over worriedly, thinking that her
Injuries also occurred.
After Kong Xuan woke up from shaking her shoulders, Dong Hongyan's face flashed with a blush. Coupled with her world-famous appearance, at this moment, even Kong Xuan, a woman, was stunned, and Wang Chong even shed tears.
When Dong Hongyan came back to her senses and saw the expressions of the two of them, she burst into laughter. Kong Xuan also regained consciousness and felt a little embarrassed. Wang Chong even lowered his head and wiped away the saliva covertly, still feeling Kong Xuan's coldness.
gaze.
"I know, I finally know the meaning of this painting..." Dong Hongyan said excitedly, pointing to the scroll.
Both of them looked at her in confusion, and Kong Xuan asked: "Senior sister, what do you know? Is there really a mystery in this painting?"
Wang Wangchong also said anxiously: "Sister, please stop showing off."
Dong Hongyan glared at him and said angrily: "Who betrayed me?"
Facing these two women, Wang Chong had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky and did not dare to get into trouble again.
Dong Hongyan then smiled with satisfaction, pointed at the scroll and continued: "Guess who the four people in this painting are?"
"The person in the painting?" Wang Chong and Kong Xuan looked back at the scroll together, and then they both made a discovery.
I saw both of them pointing at the honest young man and saying, "This little guy looks a lot like our leader."
Sure enough, Dong Hongyan nodded and said: "I know this seems like a coincidence, but I can now say with certainty that the painter of this painting is my master and your uncle, and he is also one of the people in the painting.
One, he is the young man who stole wine, and this girl is my uncle and the wife of the head of the family."
"Then this person...isn't it..." Wang Chong pointed at the white-haired young Taoist in the middle with a look of astonishment on his face, somewhat incoherently.
Kong Xuan also opened her mouth and couldn't help but say: "Is it really Master?"
"Yes, this painting was drawn by the master as he recalled the days when he, the master, and his uncle were together with the master when they were young." Dong Hongyan nodded.
Wang Chong naturally understood at this time. He pointed at the face that didn't look like Wang Rui but was undoubtedly his and said, "Uncle, what you mean is that only Master can save Senior Brother Wei and Junior Brother Fang right now?"
"That's right. At the moment, the only hope is to ask the master to take action, but the master and the leader cannot do that because the master is currently in retreat. If the master is disturbed and his promotion is affected, who will be responsible?
I can't afford it." After Dong Hongyan finished speaking, she sighed. The master did have good intentions, but she also considered that even if the three of them went to ask the master for help, the master and others would react, and the master would be unable to escape.
Responsible.
Wang Chong's eyes shone with perseverance, he turned around and said to the two women: "In this case, let me be the one who seeks Master. Even if the incident does come to light, I can bear the responsibility alone and don't involve too many people.
"
After saying that, Wang Chong was about to leave, but was stopped by two women.
"No, if you go alone like this, the punishment will be very serious, and you may even be kicked out of the door. I will go with you." Kong Xuan said while pulling his arm. Wang Chong felt her affection for him,
The scene of feeding Fang Shijie medicine at the critical moment has been completely eliminated.
"No, you and Senior Sister are both more talented than me. It would be a pity to be involved in this matter. My talent can only be regarded as average. Even if I am kicked out of the door, I can accept it." Wang Chong shook his head and refused.
Xuan was so anxious that she almost cried.
Dong Hongyan's face suddenly turned cold. At this moment, she once again showed the aura of the senior sister and said coldly: "Wang Chong, you can't be reckless. Why did master ask the three of us to stay and look at the painting? Naturally, he wants us to advance and retreat together. You
It doesn’t matter if a person pretends to be a hero. Why don’t we ask the master, maybe he has his own arrangements.”
Wang Chong had no choice but to nod in agreement, so the three of them pushed the door open and came to the courtyard outside. On the stone table and chair in the middle of the courtyard, Tong Cheng was sitting there drinking. There was also a table of cold vegetables and fresh fruits, just like in the scroll.
The dishes on the table seemed exactly the same.
Tong Cheng had expected that they would be the same, or he would sit here without moving from the beginning. When he saw the three people coming out, he raised his head, gestured with his chin, and said, "Sit down and drink with me."
Although the three of them were eager, they did not want to be disobedient at this time, so they sat in the other three empty seats and drank with him.
After drinking for nearly half an hour, Dong Hongyan took the initiative to break the silence. After all, Wang Chong and Kong Xuan did not have a deep relationship with him.
"Master, you must have something, right? If the three of us go directly to see our master, we may be caught by those pill-forming and Yuanying elders on the way. Even if we are lucky enough to reach the door of the stone chamber where our master is retreating, we may
We can't let his old man know about it." Dong Hongyan said in a coquettish tone. It was the first time for the two people next to her to see this senior sister show such a coquettish side. It is estimated that it is rare in the world to see this.
Tong Cheng put down his wine glass. At this time, no one touched the dishes and fresh fruits on the table.
"You don't know your master yet, but I can tell you responsibly that although your master is not a very kind-hearted person, he does his best for his own people, and even gives everything he has. Right now, you
Now that you understand what I mean, you should try it desperately and don’t look forward or backward. I will take care of the rest.” Tong Cheng’s words immediately ignited hope and fighting spirit among the three of them.
The three of them stood up one after another and were about to leave. Tong Cheng stopped again, took a sip of wine, and said casually: "Before going to see your master, let's meet your master first. She is a kind-hearted person. If you want to
Listen more to her teachings and take this." Then, Dong Hongyan was given a transmission talisman and told them to wait until they reached the forest before using it.
After leaving Tong Cheng's cave, when the three of them were flying around, Wang Chong couldn't help but said, "Why did Uncle Master ask us to go out of his way to visit Senior Grandma?"
"Master Nai has been here for a few years. She is kind-hearted and has a good temper. According to rumors, she often transforms into a regular qi-training and foundation-building disciple, and then teams up with her disciples to go on adventures and complete tasks, so she
I still have a very good impression of the ordinary disciples of the sect." Kong Xuan replied.
Dong Hongyan smiled and said: "That's it. Although I have very little contact with the teacher's wife, I still understand her reputation. To put it simply, she is a soft-hearted person, and after all, she is... ahem... not old...
…should get along better.”
Wang Chong nodded as if he understood, and the three of them quickly arrived at the Jinjin Forest. Many people saw them, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye, thinking they were just passing by.
When they reached the depths of the woods, the three of them all used their spiritual senses to sense it. Naturally, they could not find the entrance to the barrier, so they could only release the transmission notes they had received from Tong Cheng before.
After injecting spiritual power, the telegraphing note immediately levitated, then bloomed with light, and then quickly flew towards the northwest, and the three of them immediately followed.
Boom!
The transmission talisman plunged into a space, and ripples in the space that resembled water waves quickly spread out.
The three of them had no choice but to wait for the results, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts. Perhaps the attitude of the master's wife was the most critical.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long. About half an hour later, the barrier opened an entrance the size of a bowl. The three of them immediately integrated themselves into the magic weapon, and turned into a rainbow light and disappeared into it.
After all three people entered, the entrance to the barrier quickly disappeared.
The unique scenery of Orchid Valley was spread out in front of the three of them like a vivid cartoon, and it had a unique exotic feel.
Although Kun Xuzi of the Demon Sect tried his best to create a paradise, he had never been to other continents and could only imitate according to the records in the classics. As a result, many rare wonders appeared in this world. Anyone who has been to Orchid
Everyone in the valley will be shocked by the wonders inside.
The land of a hundred miles is insignificant compared to the sect, but the thought that such a valley is a rare spatial spiritual treasure that can be carried around is enough to make any monk tempted.
"Beautiful... so beautiful..." Although she knew that now was not the time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, Kong Xuan still couldn't help but praise it.
Dong Hongyan is not much better, women are naturally irresistible to beautiful scenery.
Wang Chong was surprised at first, but he soon came to his senses and began to look around. He always felt that someone was watching them nearby.
Cluck cluck...
There was a burst of laughter like silver bells, and three outstandingly beautiful women appeared in front of the three of them, especially the woman in the middle. She was tall, but had a gentle temperament, and her delicate face made people forget about vulgarity.
When it comes to beauty, Dong Hongyan is the best, but when it comes to the coexistence of beauty and temperament, this woman is the best.
The other two girls are relatively rare twin sisters. One of them is wearing a blue and white dress. They look cute and a little naughty. The laughter just now seems to be from her.
Another woman, who is not sure whether she is an older sister or a younger sister, is wearing a sky-blue robe, her eyes are steady and scrutinizing, and she looks mature and stable. Although her appearance is the same as that of the woman next to her, she can clearly feel the difference in aura and personality.
Although the three of them rarely met Ha Na, Crimson and Miyuki, they would naturally not forget them.
"Disciple Dong Hongyan..."
"Disciple Wang Chong..."
"Disciple Kong Xuan..."
Then the three of them bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "I have seen the grandma and my two uncles."
He Na showed an friendly smile and glanced over the three of them, especially when it fell on Dong Hongyan's face. She couldn't help but be shocked by her world-famous appearance.ъìＱυＧΕtＶ.℃ǒΜ
This senior sister, who is known as the younger generation of disciples, is quite famous in the Dongxuanzhou Immortal Sect in terms of strength, fame, and peerless appearance. It is said that many young elites favor her.
add.
"Excuse me, your master and uncle have already mentioned the situation to me and asked me to take care of it. To be honest, I actually disagree..." He Na paused and suddenly saw the faces of the three juniors.
There was a frustrated look on his face, and he could not bear it in his heart.
Then, she changed the topic and said: "But you still have a chance to convince me that although your master will not ignore death, he must be worthy of making an exception for this."
Seeing this, Dong Hongyan raised her hands and said, "Master, let me talk first."
So, the three of them told the story of how they teamed up to kill the Fire Ape Beast King. They specifically mentioned that Wei Ming was seriously injured to protect himself, and Fang Shijie was injured to protect Kong Xuan. The two women carried
After finishing speaking in a choked voice, Wang Chong could only add a few words without comment. Sometimes he wanted to express different opinions, but he gave up immediately when the two women glanced at him with cold eyes.
After hearing this, Hana and Miyuki fell into silence.
Miyuki, who had the softest heart, was the first to say: "Master, please beg me, Master, they are all good men."
He Na frowned and felt a little tangled. She knew Wang Rui's temper. If she took them to plead, she would most likely convince him. However, she was worried that if Wang Rui failed to advance due to this attack, what would happen?
It's quite a disaster.
Before the retreat, Wang Rui left her a handwritten letter, which mentioned the importance of his retreat, and also reminded her of the crises she might encounter this time, especially the two major forces of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Sea Tribe.
If he can successfully advance to Mahayana, the upcoming crisis will be greatly weakened. If he cannot advance, then the crisis will increase exponentially. This makes her more cautious and will only disturb him unless she encounters something that cannot be solved.
Seeing this, Crimson naturally saw her hesitation, so he took He Na to the side to discuss in secret.
"Master, these children come to beg you. It's obviously Senior Brother Tong's suggestion. He knows that Master Tong is a kind-hearted person and can't stand begging, so he will agree sooner or later. And because Master has a special status, he will not be punished by Master and others.
, and then encouraged them. However, Master, I have to say something, although we are from the same sect as these children, we don’t know each other well after all, and the master is at such a critical moment, is it really worth taking action?" A deep red bulge appeared.
Courage persuaded.
He Na sighed and asked: "Are you going to let me stay out of the matter and let them go to beg your master? You also know that with just a few of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to pass the guard level."
In order to protect Wang Rui's retreat, both Tiandao Alliance and Yuantian Sect sent a group of Nascent Soul monks as guards, about twenty of them, ten from each side.
These guards are all skilled warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. They are far beyond what ordinary Nascent Soul monks can match. If Dong Hongyan and the other three were allowed to break through, they would not be able to survive at all.
"Master, there is no need for you to take on this responsibility. Although you have a transcendent status, no one will target you, and Master will try to tolerate you. But if something big happens in the future, they will definitely place the fault on Master. We must not ignore it.
Be careful." Crimson advised anxiously.
He Na shook her head, then turned around and walked back to her previous position. Crimson stamped her feet and could only follow helplessly.
"Your master is a man who values love and righteousness. In order to save his sworn brother who was caught in a catastrophe, he is also the current Linghu leader of the Dao League. He did not hesitate to take risks with his own life. Also, I later learned that Dongxuanzhou was facing a crisis back then.
The invasion of evil spirits from outside the territory almost led to destruction. It was your master who sacrificed himself and died with the evil spirits that made Dongxuan Continent what it is today. Therefore, I decided to help you, and your master will agree. Even if each of us again
I am small and not dispensable. Only if I am for everyone, everyone can be for me. This is why I help you, not just because we are from the same clan. Let's go!" He Na took the lead!
Flying in the direction of Wang Rui's retreat, the others followed one by one, with different expressions.
Miyuki fell at the end. Seeing that her sister's eyes were a little red and she seemed a little hurt, she couldn't help but said: "Sister, don't you agree to save them?"
"Well, why, do you think I'm wrong too?" Crimson said angrily.
Although Miyuki is her younger sister, her personality is very different from hers, and she is not afraid of her. She nodded and said, "Of course it's wrong."
"You...where did I go wrong? At this critical juncture, Master is willing to take risks for the foundation-building disciples he has never met. If it really delays his promotion, what should he do?" Crimson argued unconvinced.
Miyuki's eyes sharpened and she replied: "This shows that you still don't know the master well enough, and if you really refuse to save him, then the master's reputation will be damaged, and several core elders in the sect will also leave. Yuantian
The sect will also be affected by this. Although Master and we have just arrived in this sect, I really like it here. Our compatriots also live very happily here. It feels like home, without so much
The rules and red tape of the sect are not as restrictive and tight as those of the two major immortal alliances. Moreover, once a member of the sect is in trouble or is bullied, a companion will come out to help you seek justice. If someone is injured, as is the case now, the elders of the sect will not hesitate to do so.
I don’t care about treating my disciples elsewhere, maybe this is the reason why Yuantian Sect has been able to rise in just over 20 years."
"You...you have changed, sister. In the past, you would not have thought so much, so deeply..." Crimson's eyes changed, as if he was meeting his sister for the first time.
While urging her to follow him, Miyuki said with a smile: "After we left that cage, we had to live again. In the past, in the village, I could rely on alchemy to relieve my pain, but now, I can live freely, so naturally I don't want to
People around me die."
"Oh, forget it, just think that I am the only evil person. I just hope that this decision will not be detrimental to the master. Since he returned to Yuantian Sect, he has seldom smiled and is even less talkative than before in the village.
He is silent, maybe because the burden on his shoulders is too heavy and no one is sharing it with him." Crimson said meaningfully, Miyuki was stunned for a moment, and then chased after her sister who had already surpassed her.
Dozens of miles away, in the middle of a huge waterfall in Orchid Valley, rushing water pours in from all directions, but it can never fill the bottomless abyss.
There is a floating stone chamber deep in the abyss, surrounded by bursts of surging thunder and earth spiritual power. Wang Rui is in retreat here.
The surrounding waterfalls roared down, but when they reached the stone chamber, they were automatically pushed away, as if there was a layer of transparent barrier blocking the surrounding area.
At the same time, there were more than twenty strong auras around the floating stone chamber and near the waterfall above.
These people were Wang Rui's guardians during his retreat. In the past few years, they seemed to have turned into solid stones, sitting there motionless, but their spiritual consciousness was always scanning the area for any disturbance, even some insects.
If any birds want to get close to this place, they will be crushed into pieces. Over time, this place becomes a restricted area for insects and birds, and they never dare to approach again.
On this day, several rainbow lights from the sky immediately attracted the attention of these guards, and several spiritual consciousnesses began to communicate.
"Who are these people? How dare they be so bold and dare to approach this place directly?"
"Could it be the head of Yuantian Sect and others?"
"It doesn't look like it. Among these people, there are three god-transforming monks, and the other three are foundation-building monks. It's very strange."
"Could it be that we are friends rather than enemies?"
"No matter what, we are going to go and meet for a while. If there is an enemy invasion, Yuantian Sect will not be so weak that it will not be able to notify us in time."
"Of course not. Our Yuan Tian Sect is not weak to this level yet."
"As long as we persist for a moment, we can work together to open up the passage and let the leader and others come immediately."
"Let's go meet them."
Soon, nearly ten rays of rainbow light swept out of the area from bottom to top, and they appeared as Nascent Soul monks one by one. The weakest among them were those in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and nearly ten people continued to stay behind.
, guard the floating secret room.
The people on both sides soon faced each other in mid-air. At this time, they recognized He Na and Dong Hongyan. They thought it didn't matter. The leader floated in front of the crowd and said, "It turns out that Madam is here. I'll wait for you."
Welcome from afar."
He Na nodded and said, "I have something to ask my husband to do, please let me go."
"Madam, can you tell me what's going on?" Upon seeing this, the man did not get out of the way, but continued to block him.
He Na frowned and said, "It's an important matter. It's not convenient for me to tell you."
"I'm sorry to obey! Madam, we are ordered to station here and must ensure the safety of Alliance Leader Wang. Although we may not be the opponents of Madam and the others, we are willing to use our own bodies to stop it a little, so that Alliance Leader Linghu can also take action in time.
I'm here, madam, please forgive me." Although Wang Rui is no longer the leader of the alliance, many monks of the Tiandao League will still refer to him as the leader of the alliance unconsciously.
This man is a hard-nosed person, wearing a green brocade robe, with long gray hair spread out, a black band on his forehead, an old face, and extremely determined eyes.
Dong Hongyan and the others secretly thought that it was indeed the case. If the three of them had not paid a visit to He Na and had come by themselves, they would have been captured or killed by these guards.
