Demon

The bright red blood soaked a large area of ​​the ground, and Xuan Qing had completely lost his vitality.

Xuanyuan closed his eyes.

In summer, the mountains are quiet, and the courtyard is full of people, but it is as quiet as if there is no one there. Only a few birds, beasts and insects are blown by the night wind, which makes everyone feel sad.

Xuan Yuan finally spoke, with an unconcealable pain in his voice, but resolute.

"Elder Xuanqing traded with dignitaries for personal gain, and raised monsters and pets in the barrier-free tower. It violated the way of heaven, humanity, and nature. His crimes are so obvious that it is difficult to forgive him. However, he is dead and gone. As an elder, he will be expelled from Xuxuan Mountain."

After Xuanyuan finished speaking, there was a look of pain on everyone's face, but no one dared to speak out.

Cen Guan's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists, his face remained calm and his eyes were cold and unkind.

His five senses were excellent, and he heard an extremely subtle sob in the night wind. From the corner of his vision, the little Taoist priest was lowering his head during the day, his shoulders twitching imperceptibly.

Xuan Yuan waved his hand, and was about to leave with all the elders, but Cen Guan suddenly said: "Wait."

Like a thunder thrown in the thick clouds, although his voice was not loud, it seemed thrilling in the dull atmosphere of silence.

Cen Guan's words were really rude, but Xuan Yuan didn't blame him, he paused and said, "What else is there?"

He had a gentle attitude towards Cen Guan, with tolerance and kindness in his eyes.

Cen Guan took a step back and saluted Xuan Yuan respectfully. When he got up again, the respect on his face had disappeared, and the light from the bright and dark candlelight made his eyebrows and eyes cold.

Cen Guan said: "Master, won't you stay and listen to the interrogation of these twelve disciples?"

Xuan Yuan showed a trace of tiredness: "Let Yuan Qi do it. When you return to the mountain for the first time, don't worry about this matter any more, so you can rest for two days."

Cen Guan said: "The disciples have some things they want to ask them, so I would like to ask the master and all the uncles to listen to it for a while."

Xuan Yuan looked at him for a while, Cen Guan looked at him calmly, and finally Xuan Yuan responded coldly.

Most of the twelve Taoist priests on the ground, Cen Guan, knew each other well, and they were all able-bodied disciples of Xuanqing's sect. At this time, they were kneeling on the ground tremblingly, their faces pale.

Cen Guan's voice suddenly turned cold: "Do you know that Elder Xuanqing trades with people's demon pets?"

A group of people shook their heads again and again, Yuan Chao, the longest senior, tremblingly said: "Today, Master only ordered us to keep a secret watch outside his courtyard, and didn't explain anything else. We are completely ignorant of the monster trade. This matter has happened, and Master has kept it a secret from us."

The rest of the people scrambled to join in.

Cen Guan asked Xuan Yuan, "Master, do you think their words are credible?"

Xuanyuan said: "One-sided words, yet to be carefully investigated."

Cen Guan said again: "I still have a question for the teacher to ask the master to respect the elders. Elder Xuanqing has been in the mountain for more than forty years, and the master and the uncles have been with him for decades. How much do you know about Elder Xuanqing's private affairs?" ?”

Xuanxuan frowned and said: "Although Xuanqing looks kind on weekdays, he is actually alienated from others. He has always kept secrets about his own affairs. He doesn't like to talk too much, and he is also suspicious. That's why he took advantage of this big loophole. You ask this do what?"

Cen Guan said: "That's it."

Everyone looked at him puzzled, Cen Guan continued: "Elder Xuanqing is withdrawn and suspicious by nature, not to mention his trusted disciples, even the fellow disciples who have known him for dozens of years would not believe it, and I have not had much communication with him on weekdays."

Cen Guan glanced at the crowd: "Cen Guan is puzzled, why does he trust me so much and wants to win me over?"

Elder Xuande, who had not spoken all this time, snorted coldly: "He is also full of lies to you, he just wants to frame the matter on the head of the sect, how can he trust you?"

Cen Guan said: "If I don't believe him, I may tell Master when I go out. Even if I believe him, how can he confirm that it's not superficial? Is Xuan Qing willing to take such a risk?"

"Naturally, whether I believe it or not, he is sure to get away. If I believe him," Cen Guan's eyes fell on the hilt of the sword on Xuanqing's chest, "The sword should have fallen on me, right?"

The blade of the sword is more delicate than ordinary swords, it is hidden in the sleeve, when killing people by surprise, it is extremely vicious and vicious, Xuan Qing must have murderous intentions.

Xuanxuan frowned, and shouted: "Cen Guan, you are a demon, what nonsense are you talking about! If you don't believe him, the sword will be on you!"

Cen Guan shook his head: "Xuanqing didn't move the sword in his sleeve at all after listening to me. Instead, he picked up the tea and felt relaxed, which means that I chose the path he wanted."

Everyone's eyes were on the wet water stains on the table, and the tea was still slowly flowing down the edge of the table.

Cen Guan said: "Master, do you think it's right?"

Xuan Yuan remained silent, Cen Guan continued: "This disciple dares to guess, if the disciple did not tell the master everything before coming, according to Xuan Qing's thinking, even if the disciple went to expose him, the master would have told the disciple not to Make a statement again, and attribute all this to personal grievances, of course, it will also prove for Xuan Qing that what he said in the first half is true, is it really innocent?"

"Who is Xuan Qing tempting for, and why does Master insist on his death?"

Xuan Yuan didn't need to speak, several people had already scolded him for him, Xuan Yuan just waved his hand, and Cen Guan saw a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.

He thought vaguely, the 20 years of master-student friendship is not entirely fake.

Cen Guan unbuttoned the demon-locking bag at his waist, and before opening it, he suddenly said: "Masters must have opened the barrier-free tower and captured all the monsters that Xuanqing kept, why don't you walk a little longer and see if the master can enter alone?" What about the Central Tower?"

No one dared to move.

Cen Guan didn't care, and even smiled, a little mockingly.

He called softly: "Yu Ya."

As soon as the words came out, Xuan Yuan's calm expression finally changed, his arms tensed, and he looked warily at the demon-locking bag in Cen Guan's hand.

The faces of the four elders were also surprised, obviously they knew the name.

The roar of the beast resounded in the ears, and the huge monster power caused everyone to cover their sleeves to block it. When they looked again, there was a huge pure black monster in front of them. Its two wings spread freely, and several big holes were instantly broken in the wall.

Cen Guan tugged at the soft fur at his hand, and the giant beast seemed to be dissatisfied, but it still retracted its wings, and its body became slightly smaller, so as not to break the house.

Everyone was stunned. Although the monster in front of them was as black as ink, with only a pair of eyes glowing with blood red light, showing a bit of a monster, but it cannot be denied that this is an extremely handsome monster. , smooth and vigorous lines, smooth and soft hair, horns flowing with black light... everything is strong and beautiful.

Xuanxuan murmured: "30 years..."

Legend has it that Xuxuan Mountain is guarded by a divine beast, which looks like a tiger, with horns on its head and wings on its back.

This legend was also a long time ago, and no one had ever seen the divine beast. Gradually, the legend faded away and became a faint afterimage.

Only the heads and elders of each class know that the legend is true, and there is always a snow-white divine beast sleeping in their ethereal dreams of Taoism.

Thirty years ago, the previous head of the sect passed away and handed Xuxuanshan to Xuanyuan, and five people including Xuanqing were also established as elders.

In that night, they saw a snow-white divine beast stepping on the moon, every hair was shining with moonlight, shattering the night.

Only then did they realize that there were not only six of them, there was also a divine beast protecting Xuxuan Mountain with them.

Thirty years passed in a short while, and now we see you again. Although the snow-white divine beast has turned into pitch black, and the lingering spiritual power has turned into monster power, they still recognize it.

How can you forget such a miracle after seeing such a wonderful creation of heaven and earth?
