Chapter 3: Hold on, don't panic!
"Why did the head of the family suddenly ask us to go to the main hall?" Pei Ling frowned. He was just a child from the side branch, and he was the kind of person whose father didn't care for his mother. Growing up, he never saw the head of the family more than once.
"Return to the Seventh Young Master." The boy hurriedly went to inform the next master, and said hurriedly as he turned around, "Master Zheng Xian came back from outside and asked the master to do this. You'd better go there as soon as possible. Master Zheng Xian doesn't seem to be in a good mood.
good."
Pei Ling was shocked and quickly considered the feasibility of continuing to escape.
Unfortunately, the survival rate is basically zero.
Because although he had just been promoted to the third level of Qi training and was capable of killing ligers, not to mention the disciples of the Chongming Sect, even the entire Pei family could easily arrange for him.
The key is that the Pei Mansion has strict family rules, and if the head of the family summons a mortal, if anyone is within a stick of incense in the mansion, a master will immediately come to check and deal with it.
Especially this time the summons was for Zheng Jingshan, and in order not to embarrass himself in front of the disciples of the Chongming Sect, the Pei Mansion would only act more swiftly. If he runs away now, he probably won't even be able to get out of the Pei family's door.
"Don't panic!" Pei Ling calmed down and analyzed calmly, "If Zheng Jingshan knew that I entered his room to steal the bone-hardening pill, I'm afraid the Pei Mansion would have sent someone to arrest or even kill him on the spot, instead of just sending a mortal servant to notify
I'll go over..."
Thinking of this, he stopped the boy who had already walked some way, "Master Zheng Xian just came back and went to the main hall? Didn't he go back to Biwu Courtyard to rest?"
"No." The boy shook his head and urged him, "Seventh Young Master, please leave quickly and don't keep the Immortal Master waiting! Otherwise, the master of the house may not be lenient."
Pei Ling quickly weighed it: "Okay, I'll go right away."
After a while, the main hall of Pei's mansion came.
The head of the family, Pei Xuan, was sitting upright, with his eldest son Pei Hongnian standing by his side. The three elders of the family sat down with their heads, all looking solemn.
And in the seat of the guest of honor is a young man with a handsome face, a resolute and handsome appearance, none other than Zheng Jingshan, an inner disciple of the Chongming Sect!
After Pei Ling came in and greeted the head of the family, Pei Xuan waved his hand casually, indicating that he would step aside like the others and wait for instructions.
From beginning to end, no one cared about him.
This kind of indifference finally allowed Pei Ling to regain a little sense of security as a Taoist.
Obviously, Zheng Jingshan still doesn't know about Biwu Courtyard.
This is so great!
Pei Ling breathed a sigh of relief and quickly adjusted his expression. Like the other children of the Pei family around him, he looked at the five people above him with curiosity and awe.
The realm of cultivation in this world is divided into the Qi training stage, the foundation building stage, and the elixir formation stage... The Qi training stage is subdivided into one to nine levels. After the ninth level, there is the foundation building, and the foundation building has the early stage and the middle stage.
, the later three stages, above the later stage of foundation building, are the pill forming stages.
As for the realm above the pill formation, there is no record in the Pei family's family history. After all, the huge Luquan City does not even have a foundation building period, and the number one master on the surface is Pei Xuan, who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
The eldest son Pei Hongnian, who was highly expected by his family and spent a lot of resources to be sent to the outer sect of Chongming Sect, is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining so far.
As for the two disciples from the Chongming Sect, Zheng Jingshan alone is still young, but he is already in the middle stage of foundation building.
In other words, as long as Zheng Jingshan is willing, one person can slaughter the entire Luquan City.
Therefore, it is no wonder that no one in the Pei family dared to neglect this person's instructions.
Pei Ling was thinking about the other party's purpose of summoning the Pei family's children when he suddenly noticed someone not far away looking at him with hostility.
He subconsciously looked around and saw his half-brother Pei Tu glaring at him fiercely.
"Is the way I behave today wrong?" Pei Ling felt very puzzled. Although his relationship with this cheap brother had never been very good, as he became marginalized in the family, his stepmother, mother and son felt that they had stepped on him.
You usually turn a blind eye to him when you come in and out, why do you suddenly show clear hostility now?
Pei Ling's heart suddenly became heavy, "Or did you drift away after activating the system without knowing it?"
He was carefully reflecting on his various performances during this period to see if they were against the moral principles, when he saw a young boy approaching Pei Xuan. After whispering a few words, Pei Xuan nodded slightly and coughed slightly.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Pei Xuan said to Zheng Jingshan in a very respectful manner: "Fellow Daoist Zheng and the disciples of our family are all here. Please give us your orders, Friend Zheng."
Zheng Jingshan opened his eyes expressionlessly, glanced at everyone casually, and said indifferently: "The traitor Wu Tingxi of our sect has recently fled into Yuanmu Mountain, and his whereabouts are unknown now. You will immediately start searching the mountain. Anyone who finds any trace of Wu Tingxi will be rewarded with fifty pills."
Bone Tempering Pill."
"If there are no problems, we can set off now."
After hearing this, all the children of the Pei family in the hall had different expressions, and they all subconsciously looked at the head of the family, the eldest son, and the elders of the family.
Pei Xuan looked troubled and coughed dryly: "Friend Zheng, after all, Wu Tingxi was once a disciple of the noble sect and a direct disciple of Elder Luo. Pei heard that his cultivation level has reached the seventh level of Qi training, and the disciples of our family are weak. This
…”
"Don't worry!" Zheng Jingshan said calmly, "Wu Tingxi is seriously injured right now, and his cultivation level is very low. Even a monk who has just entered the path can take him down. He is now a lost dog, and he will never dare to show his face.
.”
Pei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked around the room: "Did you hear everything clearly? Who dares to neglect and ruin Daoyou Zheng's important event? Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As he said this, a figure appeared in the hall. It was a man with a sinister face and cold eyes. He introduced, "This is the traitor Wu Tingxi of the Holy Sect. If you find his traces, don't delay and send a signal for help from the clan as soon as possible.
At that time, Fellow Daoist Zheng will arrive and capture him."
A group of Pei's children said in unison: "I will obey the order of the family master!"
Pei Xuan nodded: "Why don't you leave quickly?"
Seeing that everyone else was already preparing to leave, Pei Ling quickly pretended to be suppressing his excitement, wrapped up in the crowd and went out.
Then he moved his feet and quietly walked to the front of the crowd.
He has already thought about it. When he leaves the city, everyone will go to Yuanmu Mountain. It will be his chance to leave quietly and escape thousands of miles away.
Anyway, I have brought all the important things with me and can run away at any time.
Otherwise, Zheng Jingshan still wouldn't know that someone broke into his house and stole something. If he goes back later and takes a look... he will definitely still be cold!
...Watching many of the children of the Pei family leave, Pei Xuan smiled and said to Zheng Jingshan: "Fellow Daoist Zheng, our house has recently received some spiritual tea. I wonder if you are interested in tasting it?"
"No need." Zheng Jingshan stood up and said indifferently, "I have to go back to Biwu Courtyard. The Pei family is kind enough to take it back later."
He hurried to Biwu Courtyard, but did not go to the house where he lived. Instead, he went to a more secluded monastery in the back.
The appearance of the monastery is elegant, and there is a string of wind chimes hanging under the eaves, which sway gently in the wind, making it look pleasant against the surrounding thatched eaves and rustling green bamboos.
If you look closely, you will find that the wind chimes are made of skulls, with countless illusory human faces twisting and struggling on them, making silent roars.
Even though Zheng Jingshan had already built the foundation, he couldn't help but feel dizzy when he accidentally glanced at it.
He quickly kept his mind, turned his gaze to the ground, and bowed respectfully outside the door of the monastery. Before he could speak, an extremely cold voice came from inside: "Has the person been found?"
"Senior Sister, I have confirmed that Wu Tingxi escaped into Yuanmu Mountain, Elder Luo's other disciples have been executed, and the Secret Book of Six Desires must be in his hands." Zheng Jingshan said hurriedly, "I have asked the Pei family..."
"Trash!" He was interrupted before he could finish his words, and the people in the room scolded him coldly, "I don't have so much time to spend here. Don't be idle, let's go look for it together! You won't see Liu Yu for three days.
Secret Code, I will take away your soul refining weapon!"
Zheng Jingshan's expression changed drastically and he immediately knelt down: "Yes!"
After a while, seeing that there were no more instructions from the people in the room, he stood up and exited carefully.
When I got outside, I felt a layer of cold sweat on my back.
He glanced sideways at his house, hesitated for a moment, but did not dare to delay, and without even saying hello to the Pei family, he left in a hurry and went straight to Yuanmu Mountain.
At the same time, Pei Ling successfully escaped while the large army was passing through a forest.
Yuanmu Mountain is in the north of Luquan City. He came out of the woods, found the direction, and headed southwest. This was a wilderness. After passing through it, there was an official road that could lead to several other cities.
He had already made up his mind to go to the nearest city first. If he was not arrested when he arrived, he would disguise himself and quickly find a traveling team to sneak in and go as far as he could.
Although the Bone Forging Art does not focus on speed, after the Iron Bone is completed, the whole body is full of strength, and the pace is naturally much faster than before.
Pei Ling was worried that Zheng Jingshan had discovered the scene in Biwu Courtyard, so he didn't dare to neglect it. He ran for more than an hour and was relieved when he saw no one around.
But soon, he felt something was wrong.
Someone is watching him!
