"Did you hear what Uncle Tai said when he was talking to me earlier?" Ling Xiao asked.
Li Qingyun thought for a while: "I did hear it. He seemed to have said a lot in order to delay time or gain sympathy."
Ling Xiao smiled and said: "Of course he said a lot, probably because he was afraid at the time."
"Afraid?"
"Yes, just as Zhongshanli and I worry that he is a time bomb that may bring extremely uncertain effects to us at any time, he also does not trust us and is afraid that we will suddenly fake it while acting.
Kill him."
Li Qingyun suddenly realized: "Because when he faced Zhongshan Li, he once thought about killing Zhongshan Li in a fake show, so he is also worried that you are such a person?"
"Yes," Ling Xiao sighed: "Perhaps you don't understand at your current age that monks like me who have practiced for a long time can still have sincere cooperation. Everything is based on interests.
.”
Li Qingyun smiled and said: "Friends are joking, no matter how long monks have been practicing, their cooperation is based on interests."
Ling Xiao looked at Li Qingyun and shook his head firmly: "What I said is based on interests is different from what you understand."
"The interests you are talking about may include a person's wishes or other values, but in the eyes of monks who have practiced for a long time, a person's own wishes, emotions, and emotions are secondary, and the first place is always naked interests."
Li Qingyun understood some of it and didn't understand some, but he didn't ask further questions and just wrote them down silently.
"Then the uncle's betrayal of Tianji Pavilion was also because of a conflict of interest with Tianji Pavilion?"
Ling Xiao smiled and said: "How is that possible?"
"Not to mention a little Taishuhe, even a true saint is not qualified to have a conflict of interest with Tianji Pavilion."
Li Qingyun suddenly realized that indeed, according to the size of Tianji Pavilion, Taishuhe had no interest entanglement with Tianji Pavilion at all.
"He's just..."
"I just came into contact with another side of Tianji Pavilion."
Li Qingyun was stunned: "Which side?"
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Do you still remember what Taishu said at that time?"
Li Qingyun thought for a while and said: "He said that he was good at spiritual power, and was later discovered by the great master of Tianji Pavilion..."
"Then what?" Ling Xiao prompted: "Have you ever noticed his emotions?"
"mood?"
Li Qingyun said: "When he said that he was discovered and trained by the powerful master of Tianji Pavilion, and that the spiritual power avenue he practiced was only qualified to be practiced by the Holy Master, his face was very proud."
"But after he said that he had been tested, he had overdrawn a lot of his potential because of his cultivation of spiritual power. The path to becoming a saint was hopeless. Even when it was difficult to become a saint, he seemed to be full of pain... and some resentment?"
Ling Xiao nodded and asked, "Do you believe what he said?"
Li Qingyun said: "Undoubtedly, Uncle Tai is gifted in the spiritual power avenue, because I can feel his natural feeling in controlling spiritual power."
"It is normal for such a talent to be discovered and recruited by Tianji Pavilion as a core member..."
"You mean!"
Li Qingyun looked at Ling Xiao with bright eyes: "Are you saying that Uncle Tai and what he said next were lies?"
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Whether it's a lie or not, you'll know if you listen to the version I heard before."
"He once said that he had contact with me three million years ago. This is not false. As early as three million years ago, Tiansha Palace was just destroyed by Tianji Pavilion. When I fled everywhere, I didn't know where to flee, I
I received a secret message from him. It is said that he was a certain spiritual power left by me and quickly tracked me down."
"He said he needs my help, otherwise he will help the Lord of Luanxing Hall to hunt me down indefinitely."
"Although I was not afraid of their pursuit, one more thing was better than one less thing, so I asked him what he needed from me and why I should trust him."
"Then he told me a crazy guess..."
Having said this, Ling Xiao carefully took out an array disk from the storage space, placed it on the wine table in front of the two of them, and activated it again. On the basis of the original sound-isolating array of the two, an additional array was added.
A layer of magic circle that isolates spiritual power fluctuations.
After doing this, he looked at Li Qingyun seriously:
"Tai Shuhe told me that after entering the Tianji Pavilion, his cultivation had entered the Taoist realm. With the rapid improvement of his cultivation, his understanding of the avenue of spiritual power became deeper and deeper, and his cultivation became more and more refined.
Coming faster and faster,”
"He said that although he was already tens of thousands of years old at that time, he felt like a young man embarking on the spiritual path, with unlimited vitality and passion for practice. Although the spiritual path in front of him was not clear enough, the direction was unclear.
It was very clear, he said that he could feel the prototype of the spiritual power avenue..."
"In short, during this period, his practice was very dynamic and pioneering, and he felt that his future was bright."
"But later, several senior executives of Tianji Pavilion were very concerned about him and asked him to do a test on the spiritual power avenue and enter a large-scale formation for testing."
"This test lasts three days and three nights."
"After the test, the top management of Tianji Pavilion sent him to live in the cave at will, and even ignored him."
"He waited for several days with no response, and then several months with no response. Finally, after waiting for a year, he went to see the top management of Tianji Pavilion to ask about his talent on the spiritual path, but he was told
Several senior officials are in retreat and it is inconvenient to meet him."
"Later, he lived in that cave for three years. Three years later, the top management of Tianji Pavilion finally showed up, but they brought Taishu and news that made him collapse."
"It is said that he realized the spiritual power avenue too early, and his understanding of the spiritual power avenue is broken. This is related to the overdraft of his talent too early in his cultivation."
"Let alone the saint level, even canonization is impossible."
"After that, I sent him away."
"But when he practiced the Spiritual Power Avenue again, he found that the prototype of the Spiritual Power Avenue that was so clear in front of him could no longer be seen, and he couldn't even feel the direction he should take on the Spiritual Power Avenue. The entire practice was pitch black.
…”
"He said that he felt as if he had lost his talent for practicing on the spiritual path..."
Li Qingyun listened to Ling Xiao's story for a long time, then murmured and asked: "So, Taishuhe means that the disappearance of his talent on the spiritual path has something to do with Tianji Pavilion?"
Ling Xiao did not answer directly, but said: "The Avenue of Spiritual Energy is the most practical among many avenues. If there is a powerful person who can understand the Avenue of Spiritual Energy, then the mountain gate of his power must be the one with the richest spiritual energy and the best distribution.
It is uniform and most suitable for the disciples of our sect to practice."
"For a force that has existed for a long time and has a deep foundation, the benefit of increasing the efficiency of spiritual power utilization by 10% is far greater than the several powerful saints in their area."
"What's more, Uncle Tai and his talent can increase their spiritual power utilization efficiency by more than 10%!"
"So Tianji Pavilion must also attach great importance to the spiritual power avenue," Ling Xiao looked at Li Qingyun indifferently.
"I have two guesses. The first guess is that Taishu He may have some secrets hidden in his body. These secrets are related to his talent on the spiritual path. However, after being tested by the formation of Tianji Pavilion, the secrets were directly eliminated.
Lost it."
"Second guess..."
"Tianji Pavilion used some means...to steal Taishu and his talent on the spiritual path."
"What!?" Li Qingyun almost jumped up: "Is there such a thing?"
Ling Xiao said calmly: "Uncle Tai told me this with great certainty at that time."
Li Qingyun suddenly realized: "I didn't expect Tianji Pavilion to have such a side..."
Ling Xiao smiled and said: "You have only lived for a few decades, but Tianji Pavilion has existed for endless years. The Tianji Pavilion you see is a small-scale impression in the dimension of time. At the same time, the spiritual world
It is vast and boundless, so the Tianji Pavilion you see is only a small-scale impression in the spatial dimension."
"In other words, the Tianji Pavilion in your mind is just an extremely one-sided impression."
Li Qingyun suddenly realized,
Indeed, I have seen too few Tianji Pavilions, and the sample size is not enough, so it is difficult to analyze and draw correct conclusions.
"Therefore, Taishu He firmly believed that his path to the Saint was ruined in the hands of Tianji Pavilion. It was the senior officials of Tianji Pavilion who took away his talent. Otherwise, after the array of spiritual power avenue talent detection at that time,
, why does it take three days?”
"Before entering that formation, I still felt that my practice was bright, but after that formation appeared, many of my insights into the spiritual power path miraculously disappeared."
"So...he wants to take revenge on Tianji Pavilion?" Li Qingyun asked cautiously.
Ling Xiao nodded: "Exactly, he secretly hated Tianji Pavilion, but he didn't dare to leave them directly to arouse suspicion, so he came to the Snow Desolate Territory, secretly contacted me, and prepared to implement the plan to kill a Tianji Pavilion saint.
, and use this Tianji Pavilion saint as a pledge to join Tianji Pavilion’s rival organization, the Burning Immortal Society.”
"It's a pity that he had murderous thoughts towards you first and threatened you, so you just wanted to get rid of him." Li Qingyun said.
Ling Xiao said calmly: "I split his body in half with a sword. If he can withstand this sword and escape the pursuit of Tianji Pavilion, he can still survive."
Li Qingyun nodded: "You are really kind."
How could Ling Xiao not hear Li Qingyun's sarcasm? He also smiled and said: "This is a swordsman's last mercy."
"This is the reason why Uncle Tai betrayed Tianji Pavilion, and this is why Zhongshanli and I are willing to cooperate with him."
"Everything that happened on Xueji Mountain was actually planned by Zhongshanli."
call--
Li Qingyun took a deep breath,
He had already guessed that Zhongshan Li was not simple, but it was quite surprising to suddenly receive Ling Xiao's affirmation.
