Gu Tan woke up slowly and found that he was lying on the soft collapse of his own house in Haimen Island Cave. He smelled a faint and refreshing sandalwood smell on his nose. He knew that Mingzhen was taking care of him. He was about to struggle to get up, but he felt a torn pain coming from all over his body at the same time.

"This?" He used his spiritual power to examine himself, and then he found that his body was full of swords, like a sieve leaking air everywhere. "Who made such a ruthless hand" desperately recalled, but he couldn't remember anything.

"It was my master who saved you."

Sensing his awakening, Ming Zhen appeared on the edge of the collapse and handed a few healing pills in his hand. "But she stabbed you so many swords, I'm afraid there are factors that can be retaliated against you." She said with a smile.

"Your master? Qi Zhuang? She can only be considered our peer now, just call her senior sister."

Gu Tan said the truth first, then sighed and looked grateful, "Next time I have the chance, I will thank her in person."

"Why do you say exactly the same as what she said?" Seeing Gu Tan taking the pill, the blood on his face improved a little, Ming Zhen was relieved, "But she is a revenge person, what happened back then..."

Mingzhen naturally refers to the old story of Bei Dingshen Mountain. At that time, Gu Tan instigated Jiang Mingrong to hide in the depths of the mountain road to escape from the battle. Later, Qin Weiyu, Kan Que and others died outside at the hands of ghost cultivators. Qi Zhuang has been extremely annoying to them since then.

"It's almost a hundred years old..."

Gu Tan frowned, feeling helpless, "It is human nature to be selfish and afraid of death. At that time, I was a casual cultivator and had no obligation to fight for anyone." He thought of the past when he was desperate and was taken in by Qi Xiu, "I have nothing to be ashamed of in the incident in Beiding Shenshan. Only the kindness of the senior brother of the head can be repaid with his life.

"Oh?" Mingzhen asked with a smile: "Is your words true or false?"

"You guess." Gu Tan blinked, "Do you know? The sect rules stipulate that the position of the elder of Chu Qin Sect must be the Jindan monk who came from the inner sect. Now you are already there, Senior Sister Qi Zhuang, Gu Tiesheng, and Qin Changfeng. According to the sect rules, the elders can discuss the appointment and removal of the sect leader. As long as three of you reach an agreement, even if the senior brother of the sect own vote, he can still be replaced by three to two."

"What do you think?" Ming Zhen said in surprise.

"I'm not from an inner sect, what can I do?" Gu Tan looked at her, "I'm not worried about Senior Sister Qi Zhuang, I just want to remind you not to be exploited and do something rebellious."

Hearing the warning in his words, Mingzhen smiled so hard that she trembled, "Who do you think I am and what kind of thing will I do."

"You are different from me." Gu Tan said with a serious face and a stern look: "Your pursuit of kindness in human nature is far above me, the leader, and even the senior sister Qizhuang. Maybe one day in the future, you will not agree with us and then want to change something..."

"Aren't everyone's goals the same? I heard that my family has hired a monk from the Literature Sect as an inspector, and has recruited several law enforcement monks from Qi Yun's background. Even the enlightenment of children has changed to the right path, and everything is turning in a good direction." Ming Zhen was a little puzzled.

"This is utilitarian." Gu Tan knew Qi Xiu's thoughts very well. He wanted to pour cold water on Mingzhen in advance. "Now, it is a good way to go to the right path, that's all. It's not because our conscience discovers, or has been inspired by some great virtue. You have also seen the affairs of the Long family. When I have to do something bad, my psychology is not hindered, and I think the same is true for the senior brother of the sect."

"So..." He took advantage of Mingzhen's thoughts and held the other party's little hand, "You must tell me the truth on this point. We must first have a consensus before we can live together."

"You big-headed ghost"

Mingzhen was not careful that he was so direct, so he shook his dirty hands away, blushed and ran away in panic, "You should stabilize your state first, don't keep talking nonsense." Before leaving, she left her words.

"Don't leave in a hurry," Gu Tan sat on the couch and shouted: "I have lived in Haimen Island for decades. I'm really tired of it. I'm thinking about looking back and looking around."

"Then Gu Tan has been free in the fourth-level cave palace of Haimen Island for decades. Every year, there is a large amount of spirit stone in the branch gate. It's time for you to take care of it."

On the other hand, Nangong Yanran was plaguing and complaining in the secret room of the head sect, "This time, he fought against the Long family, bought the land Nascent Soul monks, recruited the three offshore murderers, and paid the back and forth expenses of the Dan League, which cost a lot of money. As a result, people destroyed the Sutra Library, and did not make as much effort as they could. They only occupied a large and useless Dongzong Island. I think he didn't do his best to do his job and was just taking care of his own elixir cause."

"It's not that I haven't got anything."

The offshore incident happened, and the Chu Qin Sect's income was far less than expected. Qi Xiu believed that the biggest reason was that the Long family was in harmony. As long as the sect was united and died, the sect would not leave any determination to be buried with the La Zang Sutra Pavilion. When others took action, they should first consider whether it was worth it.

It is not a war crime, Qi Xiu defended Gu Tan and threw the storage bag that was harvested by the old scholar to Nangong Yanran. "I took the [Wu Jinbao Inkstone] in the fourth level of square, and used it for my own use, and there is the [Ju Jing Jing] in the third level of the Confucian sect. The Confucian sect can practice until the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and can be included in the secret library as a heritage. You can clean up the remaining miscellaneous items, and it is time to fill the gap in this operation."

Nangong Yanran's attention was indeed taken away. She opened the storage bag and said to herself carefully for a long time. "It's worth about 70,000 or 80,000 ranks, plus the inkstone and scriptures, yes, it's a good deal." Her face turned cloudy and sunny. Without saying much, she said goodbye with satisfaction and left and left with something.

"This time I die a monk from the Gong family who is an insider. You will apologize to Chu Zhuangyuan on my behalf and back up the generous apology."

After giving this order, Qi Xiu sighed softly and threw away everything, and seized the time to immerse himself in body refining and practicing.

Somewhere in the Lion Waking Valley, Huo Stork was already dying.

"I beg you to give me some supplements of my soul power. I still have a lot of things I haven't said, I'll tell you everything."

His soul body has turned into a thin wisp of light mist, which seems to be blown away by the wind at any time, and it is becoming more and more difficult to communicate with the lion.

In other words, the old lion had already given up on him because just now, it stopped talking for the first time, interrupting the uninterrupted questioning for decades.

"Please, ask me, I will tell you what I ask, I will tell the truth this time, please..."

After decades of slow consumption, his soul power left his body as if he was exhausted to death, tortured him to the point where he no longer had the spirit of a Nascent Soul monk in the Beast Control Sect, and he became a poor worm who begged for his life.

"I have taught you a lot of wrong knowledge before, and I will tell you all."

He begged with his meager soul power.

"Haha, don't worry, you can hold on for a while."

Suddenly a new voice came into his ears, young and indifferent, "Where is the old lion?" Huo Stork shuddered, "Are you?" He made a mental fluctuation.

"I'm still me."

The pure world of mental power has changed for the first time in decades, with light and shadow flowing, and a human figure gradually condensed into a virtual form.

The long silver hair was pressed against the head like a grass nest, with a large round face of an ordinary middle-aged fat man, and a burly figure. He was wearing a furry yellow robe. His cheeks were measured to have three long hairs that looked like cat whiskers, which were flat to the left and right, and there was a long tail behind his butt.

"Have you learned the art of transformation?"

Huo Stork saw the figure's appearance and knew it was transformed by the old lion, and he was shocked.

"Yes, the art of transformation."

The human figure illusion serpently, "It's a pity that I am an ancient beast and cannot transform."

"How do you know?" Huo Stork's soul body roared. He had never taught the other party the knowledge of transformation. The things he was worried about finally came. If one day, this ancient beast with an IQ that was against the sky transformed into the world...

"Thank you, you have taught me how to learn." The old lion opened his big hand and saw the storage bags fell out one by one.

"Why don't you tell me that humans will remember knowledge on dead things, so that I can learn much faster."

In the storage bag, a roll of scriptures and jade slips floated in the air, surrounding the old lion's human figure and flipping page by page. He watched leisurely and gestured from time to time, showing off his appearance.

"Is this what the adventurer gets?"

Huo Stork looked at the covers of those books, many of which were not like righteous things. He must have fallen into the Lion Valley. He couldn't help but be anxious, "There are some things that you can't learn here. I will teach you one of the fundamental sutras of the Huo Family and the Beast Control Sect. These things you can't learn."

"fraud."

The old lion stretched out his finger and shot the soul impact of the Taoist soul, causing Huo Stork to be extremely painful, "You have admitted all the lies yourself, and you even told me how to believe you."

"I'll tell the truth, I'll definitely tell the truth"

Huo Stork kept crying and wailing, "Don't learn those..."
