The leader, Master Qingyang, sat together with the four elders to discuss sect affairs.
"Master. It's not good. It's not good..." A middle-aged disciple suddenly ran into the hall in a hurry.
Master Qingyang's face sank: "What's the matter? You're so panicked."
The middle-aged disciple took a breath and said, "Well... all the elixirs stored in the alchemy room have been stolen."
"What..." Master Qingyang stood up from his chair and stared at the disciple opposite: "Everything you said is true."
"It's true. It's true. Now the alchemy room is in chaos." The middle-aged disciple hurriedly replied.
At this moment, another young disciple ran in: "Master, it's not good. Lin San and Hai Mingsheng knocked out the disciples guarding the mountain gate and went down the mountain privately."
"Lin San. Hai Mingsheng." Master Qingyang was stunned: "When did it happen?"
"Just late last night." The young disciple replied.
"Lin San must have stolen the elixir in the alchemy room." Second Elder Luo Lie suddenly shouted.
Master Qingyang frowned but said nothing.
"I don't believe Lin San would steal the elixirs from the alchemy room." Qin Hanwen shook his head.
"Senior Brother Qin, if Lin San hadn't stolen the elixir, then why did he sneak down the mountain..." Luo Lie asked.
"Perhaps Lin San has something important to attend to." Qin Hanwen also wholeheartedly defended Lin San.
Luo Lie sneered: "It's important. It's important to injure the disciple guarding the mountain gate. Then secretly go down the mountain."
Qin Hanwen was speechless when asked by Luo Lie.
"That...reported to the head of Qi and the four elders that all the herbs planted in the spiritual medicine garden were picked..." the young disciple said hesitantly.
"Which elixir garden?" Luo Lie asked.
The young disciple licked his dry lips: "It's the elixir garden in the back mountain."
"Isn't Lin San guarding the back mountain elixir garden?" Luo Lie snorted coldly: "This Lin San not only stole the elixirs in the alchemy room, but also picked up a large number of herbs grown in the elixir garden. It is really abominable. .”
"You immediately lead your disciples and let me go down the mountain to hunt down Lin San." Master Qingyang ordered.
"Yes." Luo Lie nodded and strode towards the door.
"Wait a minute." Master Qingyang suddenly shouted.
Luo Lie stopped and turned around to look at Master Qingyang in confusion.
Master Qingyang said with a cold face: "If Lin San dares to resist, he can be killed directly."
"Senior Brother Head..." Qin Hanwen's expression changed and he opened his mouth to plead for Lin San.
Master Qingyang glanced at Qin Hanwen and said in a cold tone: "Junior Brother Qin, now, do you still want to defend Lin San?"
"I..." Qin Hanwen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Junior Brother Qin, if you have nothing to do, please go back first." Master Qingyang issued an order to expel guests.
"Yes." Qin Hanwen nodded slightly, turned around and left the hall.
Master Qingyang looked back at Third Elder Li Qingying and Fourth Elder Guan Shanyue: "You two will immediately lead your disciples down the mountain to hunt Lin San." Master Qingyang was worried that Luo Lie would not be able to catch Lin San, so he sent Li Qingying with him again. Guan Shanyue was sent out.
Li Qingying and Guan Shanyue responded and left the hall together.
…
A rugged mountain road.
Lin San and He Mingsheng ran quickly.
"I can't... I can't run anymore..." Hai Mingsheng suddenly stopped and sat down on the ground.
"Mingsheng, we can't stop. We are not out of danger yet." Lin San came over and stretched out his hand to pull Hai Mingsheng up: "Hold on a little longer. We will be safe when we run out of this mountain."
He Mingsheng shook his head: "I really can't run anymore. My lungs are going to explode now...cough cough cough..." As he spoke, Hemingsheng coughed violently.
Lin San frowned and thought for a moment: "I'll carry you." After saying that, he turned around, picked up Hai Mingsheng and ran forward quickly. Because he was afraid of being discovered, Lin San did not dare to use the flying technique. .Can only run on remote roads.
"Uncle Lin..." A trace of gratitude flashed across Hai Mingsheng's face.
"You should call me brother Lin. Don't call me senior." Lin San said while running.
"How can this be done..." Hai Mingsheng said hesitantly.
"Why not? If you regard me as a good friend, just listen to me." Lin San said without any doubt.
Hai Mingsheng hesitated for a moment: "Okay. I'll call you Brother Lin."
"That's right." Lin San smiled. Hai Mingsheng was Lin San's first friend in the spiritual world. He was also his only friend so far.
"Brother Lin, I'm sorry. I have caused trouble to you." Hai Mingsheng said guiltily.
"You are my good friend. I should help you. Okay. Stop talking. Just lie on my back and rest." As he spoke, Lin San couldn't help but speed up a little.
…
It's dark.
Lin San finally ran out of the mountain carrying Hai Mingsheng on his back.
"It's finally out." Lin San took a breath and slowly put Hai Mingsheng down.
Hai Mingsheng looked around and found that this place was an uninhabited prairie. Green grass grew on the ground. Because no one took care of it, the grass grew at different heights and was very messy.
It is probably cloudy today. There is no moon or stars in the sky. Strong winds are blowing, and the sky is filled with dust.
"Brother Lin, what are your plans for the future?" Hai Mingsheng turned to look at Lin San.
At this time, Lin San looked a little embarrassed. His hair was messy and his face was covered with dirt: "I don't know. Maybe I will travel around. But I will never join the sect again." Lin San originally thought Joining a sect can help you practice better, but the result is exactly the opposite. Not only do you have to do some hard work every day, but you also have to be angry with the elders and the leader all the time. It is really depressing.
"I will never join a cultivating sect again in the future." Hai Mingsheng had suffered a lot in Qingyue Sect. He finally got out this time. He will never join another cultivating sect in the future.
"Do you have somewhere to go?" Lin San asked.
Hai Mingsheng nodded: "I plan to go home, marry a wife, own a few acres of land, and live a good life."
Lin San was stunned: "You don't want to become an immortal anymore."
"After this period of hard work, I finally figured it out. I am not the material for cultivating immortals at all. Instead of wasting time, it is better to go home and live peacefully." Hai Mingsheng said with a bitter smile.
"Mingsheng, don't be discouraged. Cultivation to immortality cannot be achieved overnight..." Lin San advised.
Hai Mingsheng waved his hand: "Brother Lin, you don't need to persuade me. I will pay attention to it. I will no longer practice immortality in the future."
Seeing He Mingsheng's resolute attitude, Lin San couldn't say anything else.
"Okay, let's separate here. We are destined to meet again someday." Hai Mingsheng bowed his hands to Lin Sangong, turned around and walked toward the southeast.
"Mingsheng, wait a minute." Lin San shouted from behind.
