Sima Ming, who was meditating in Yangxinyuan, received an order from his master, asking him to rush to Yunxiao Palace immediately.
This somewhat sudden summons gave the fifth elder a bad premonition.
Yunxiao Palace is the residence of the sect leader, and few people can enter it. If there are important matters to be discussed in the sect, they usually go to Chixuan Palace.
After hesitating, Sima Ming arrived in front of the Yunxiao Palace. This palace was built in the extreme west of the Shifa Mountain, standing on a cliff, surrounded by red clouds all year round, facing the majestic Chixuan Palace in the distance.
Sima Ming held his breath and walked into the temple. He was led directly to the master's practice room by his disciples. At this moment, Sima Bao was the only one in the room.
Sima Ming said respectfully: "Master."
Sima Bao was sitting cross-legged practicing meditation. He suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like lightning, and he said coldly:
"Lao Wu, I heard that you ordered people from the Seven Mountains and Twelve Ridges to chase those boys?"
Sima Ming did not deny it, nor did he fully admit it, saying:
"Master, forgive me. I ordered them to search for the whereabouts of the young sect leader with all their strength, and arresting those people... is a matter of course."
Sima Bao didn't seem angry, and said as usual: "You still don't want to let them go."
Sima Ming said excitedly:
"Master, that Wujiang possesses the secret of the five elements' interrelationship, and Bai Yunsheng possesses mysterious power. This is an opportunity to break through the Tianying position, and it is a great opportunity for me, Bajiao Cave, to dominate the Central Plains! How can I let it go?
"
Sima Bao stood up while listening, his rough copper face as calm as dust, and said:
"What you said makes sense, but the most important thing now is to find the little kid."
"I have been searching for the Young Sect Master with all my heart!"
Sima Bao didn't seem to care about his eloquent words. He moved to the back wall of the practice room, turned the candlestick, and a stone door slowly opened on the back wall.
"Follow me."
Sima Ming's eyes were filled with joy. He had heard that there was a treasure inside this door, but historically it could only be entered by the master when he was in retreat.
The corridor is not long, winding down less than ten feet. In front of you is a quiet stone cave. In the cave lies a red jade stone bed, surrounded by red mist.
At this time, there was a person lying on the bed. Sima Ming stepped forward and took a look. His excited eyes instantly turned into surprise, and he blurted out:
"Young Sect Master!"
After being surprised, he immediately suppressed the tremor in his heart and said:
"Head..."
Sima Bao raised his hand to interrupt and said:
"A friend of mine traveled to Tuoyan Mountain and accidentally found an injured kidnapper and brought him back. He was seriously injured and was dying. Only this red jade bed could calm his heart and help him recover from his injuries. However, he only had to do it every day.
I can lie down for an hour."
"Great! The young sect master survived the catastrophe and can definitely testify against those evil disciples Bai Yunsheng!"
Sima Ming's old face is like the sky in the summer flood season. It will be sunny when it is sunny, and it will rain when it is raining.
It was obviously extremely sunny at this moment, and even the wrinkles that had been there for many years were blooming.
Sima Bao said with a half-command tone: "Only you and I know about this matter. I am telling you for your peace of mind and for the safety of the little captive. Please don't spread it outside."
Sima Ming said with gratitude: "Thank you, Master, for your understanding."
Sima Bao said: "It was so easy for Yanyulou to attack my Bajiao Cave this time, and the kidnapper suffered strange injuries. I suspect that there is an insider in the mountain. Until that person is found, the kidnapper can't show up."
After saying that, Sima Bao ordered Sima Ming to leave Yunxiao Palace.
That night, clouds filled the dark sky.
A rare light rain fell on Shifa Mountain.
Tenglong Pavilion.
This is the important place where Bajiao Cave collects magical secrets.
A dangerous five-story building on a mountain peak points to the stars, and there are more than twice as many guard disciples as usual.
It rained mist at night, adding a bit of chill to the hot Shifa Mountain.
Suddenly, the quiet rainy night was torn apart by a burst of fighting, and the sound came from Tenglong Pavilion.
"There is a killer!!"
The high-pitched shouts of the disciples of Bajiao Cave were particularly clear on the night mountain.
In less than half an hour, the commotion alerted the elders inside the door.
Sima Tian appeared in time to calm the situation, and he was anxiously instructing the disciples of Bajiao Cave to round up the killer. During this period, there were too many things happening on Shifa Mountain.
Soon, Sima Bao also arrived in person. Tenglong Pavilion can be said to be the "heart" of the sect, so there is no room for carelessness.
At this time, on the top of Shifa Mountain where the cold rain was blowing, in the silent Yunxiao Palace, a small attic built in the clouds was lit with a faint firelight.
Whoosh!
A dark shadow fell silently on the attic.
A dozen disciples all around downstairs were lying on the ground, apparently dead from exhaustion.
The dark shadow easily opened the door and rushed into the room. Under the long orange lamp, a young man with sharp short hair was lying on the bed, his eyes closed and his breathing even.
Judging from his appearance, there is no doubt that he is Sima Polu.
The corners of the mouth covered by the black shadow smiled cruelly, and his right palm suddenly turned blood red like fire, like a red-hot iron, and suddenly slapped Sima Polu's chest.
puff!
But the moment the fire palm hit Sima Polu's chest, the sleeping Sima Polu suddenly shattered into a piece of sand and disappeared.
The man in black's fire palm stopped there, unable to move at all.
An extremely ominous premonition suddenly struck his mind. The man in black decisively stopped and prepared to leave, but was shocked to find that his entire body could no longer move.
"call."
A trace of light red air flowed through the room, and the quiet atmosphere suddenly became strange.
The red eyes of the man in black flashed with real anxiety for an instant, and he was working hard to release his karma from the shackles of his body.
But at this moment, a shrill ghostly sound came from the wall behind the wooden bed, and a light red ghost figure brandished a red knife and slashed at the man in black.
The man in black forced a layer of karma outside his body and shattered the Xiehu blade.
But after this stabbing, the anxiety in the man in black's eyes turned into panic.
Because he found that the karma in his body was running slower and slower, until no more karma could be mobilized in his Dantian.
"Huhuhu."
Clusters of ferocious red ghosts appeared out of thin air, flickering like flickering lights.
The ghost shadow wandered in the room, and the surrounding furnishings gradually blurred and disappeared, leaving only a piece of faint blood-colored smoke. The man in black instantly fell into a mortal hell.
"Get...get the ghost prison..."
The man in black was as solid as earth at this time, and he could speak quite well, but his voice was trembling very much.
After a while, amidst his fearful voice, a figure appeared behind him like a reflection in the water.
An unprecedented fear instantly spread throughout the limbs and bones of the man in black.
"I'm very disappointed in you."
The figure gradually emerged, and the voice was a little dull, but to this assassin, it was extremely familiar and terrifying.
In the orange light, a crazy old man with disheveled hair was seen sullenly, staring at the trembling man in black, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The ghosts floating around slowly disappeared. The frozen assassin's knees weakened and he fell to the ground, his arms supporting his trembling body. Cold sweat had soaked his whole body.
Squeak.
The door opened, and Sima Bao and a young man walked in side by side. They looked at the man in black kneeling in front of the bed, one with anger in his eyes and the other with a calm smile.
"Master!"
Sima Bao suppressed his anger and saluted the crazy old man respectfully.
The person who showed up in time and left the killer behind was none other than Sima Duan, the number one person in Bajiao Cave today and the top of the Tianying position.
The old man nodded simply, looked at the young man next to Sima Bao, and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect that little friend Yun Sheng could cut off the enemy's opportunity at such a young age. This time our faction was able to catch the traitor. I would like to thank you for your help."
As a member of the Sun Moon Pavilion, this rebellious old man knew the importance of Bai Yunsheng to some extent, and he was extremely polite when he spoke.
"You're welcome, I just want to relieve my worries and don't want to have too much trouble in the future."
Bai Yunsheng's words were a double entendre. He not only responded to Sima Duan, but also reminded Bajiaodong not to cause trouble to him in the future.
How could Sima Duan not hear his thoughts? He smiled and turned to look at the surrendered man in black. His face instantly turned black and red, and he shouted:
"Evil fellow, you still haven't taken off your mask!"
The assassin finally stopped trembling and stood up firmly, taking off his black scarf. It turned out to be Sima Ming, the fifth elder of Bajiao Cave.
He had just been in Sima Duan's Ghost Prison, his karma was sealed, his heart and soul were captured, and the fear of being at a loss still lingered in him.
"It's really you!"
Sima Duan said these four words with heartache.
Among the Six Elders of Shifa, only Sima Bao and Sima Ming were his direct disciples, so he always had great trust in these two people. He even passed on the divine weapon Nine Heavens Lihuo Shield to the latter, but he never expected that Sima Ming
He will betray his master, deceive his master and destroy his ancestors.
However, if a dog is anxious, it will jump over the wall, and a dry well will be eroded.
Sima Ming, who had no way out, calmed down and sneered:
"Yes, it's me."
Sima Duan was breathless and could only say indifferently: "Why?"
Sima Ming raised his head, looking like he was going to die with dignity, and said: "You don't have to waste your words. I fall into your hands. I just want to die."
At this time, Bai Yunsheng, who had been silent, stepped forward, smiled slightly and said, "Death is too cheap for you."
This smile seeped into Sima Ming's eyes, like a devil breaking into the flock of sheep.
Sima Ming said disdainfully: "I didn't expect that I lost to you in the end."
Bai Yunsheng took out a Baiyun Blood Rain Token from his arms and said calmly:
"This Yanyu Token was found in the secret compartment of your room. In fact, you have taken refuge in Yanyu Tower a long time ago. Not long ago, you learned that the seal of the original branch was about to be exhausted, so you recommended yourself to go down the mountain to find the mythical beast. In fact, you secretly extradited Yanyu Tower to raid. So.
You eliminated your own suspicion and severely damaged Bajiao Cave, killing two birds with one stone. And you happened to meet me on the way to Yinma Mountain, so you wanted to capture me with the help of Bajiao Cave, so you did whatever it took to kill Sima Polu and put the blame on me.
I can not only deepen the hatred between me and the Sima family, but also reap the benefits of being a fisherman, killing two birds with one stone."
Seeing that his identity and conspiracy had been exposed, Sima Ming's old face became increasingly ugly. He no longer concealed anything and said in a sinister tone:
"Yes, I have already joined the host of the building and became the commander of Jiangzhou. The surprise attack on Shifa Mountain is only because the people of the Sima family do not know how to appreciate it. If they had handed over the fire branch early, they would not have suffered such a disaster; as for meeting you,
It was just an accident. When I was going down the mountain that day, I saw the sky full of golden light. I went to look for it and found out that it was you who had cured the ghost plague under the clouds, so I followed it secretly. Unexpectedly, I fished out a big fish. "
The rough face of Sima Bao in the room was uncertain. He had indeed received an ultimatum from Yanyu Tower, but he would never agree to such a request.
"Heh, maybe only a person like you can say this kind of thing."
After Bai Yunsheng finished speaking, he turned around, looked at Sima Duan and Sima Bao, and said, "Two of you, this is a matter of your sect. It is inconvenient for me to interfere. I also hope that the news about me and my eldest brother will not be spread."
Sima Duan nodded and promised: "Don't worry, I will do what I say."
Bai Yunsheng smiled sideways and walked out of the attic alone.
But the moment he stepped out, an inexplicable premonition suddenly came to his mind. The feeling was very shallow, but very real.
