Chapter 89 Chapter 89 It seems that you brothers are all good at pretending...
Jiang Yan always felt that something was wrong with Qi Ze, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
After thinking about it again and again, I still feel uneasy.
After leaving the cell, Jiang Yan called the guards who were watching over him.
"Keep a close eye on him." Jiang Yan reminded repeatedly.
The guards were confused and thought Qi Ze was going to cause trouble, but were discovered by the Immortal Lord in advance.
He said solemnly, "Yes! Immortal Lord! I guarantee that not even a fly can fly in, let alone escape!"
The Sirius Guards are still reliable.
Jiang Yan felt much more relieved: "Thank you for your hard work."
"This is my responsibility. Your Excellency is too kind." The guard said respectfully.
Gu Jingyun and Jiang Yan returned to their room side by side. The space on the flying boat was not large, so they simply stayed in the same room.
However, Jiang Yan has to make the potion all night, and it is not certain whether the back of his head will touch the pillow.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The two of them strolled along the long corridor.
Gu Jingyun: "Ayan, are you afraid that Qi Ze will escape in the dark?"
Jiang Yan complained: "He looked at me in a weird way, and I felt very uncomfortable..."
Hearing this, Gu Jingyun's expression changed immediately.
The man was silent for a moment, then said grimly, "I'm going to kill him now."
"?" Jiang Yan asked with a question mark on his head, "That's not necessary, brother, don't you want the information anymore?"
Gu Jingyun smacked his lips and said unhappily, "Don't go to the interrogation room. Leave everything to me. How dare you set your sights on me..."
The tone was very bad.
It seemed as if Qi Ze and him had an irreconcilable feud, and the young master was eliminating the bastard who coveted his wife.
Jiang Yan: “…”
He wisely kept quiet and pretended not to hear anything.
The two walked side by side in silence. Through the protective shield of the flying boat, they could see sparse stars.
Jiang Yan stopped in front of the bedroom door.
He was about to open the door when the man suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Jiang Yan turned his head to the side, his eyes puzzled.
"Are you really not going to play with me anymore?" Gu Jingyun asked.
Jiang Yan had recently encountered incidents with the demon clan one after another, and he had long forgotten about that embarrassment.
When I suddenly bring it up now, I no longer feel as if I was going to die.
"...I didn't." Jiang Yan said in a low voice, "It's just that business is more important. I can't do it tonight. I still have to make a potion."
"What will you do after you have some free time? Is Ayan willing?" Gu Jingyun asked.
"Of course I am willing, as long as I am not afraid of my ears being tortured by the evil sound." Jiang Yan said.
Gu Jingyun said: "What others may think of as devilish music is the music of nature in my heart."
"...You've already said a lot of words to comfort me, isn't that too much?"
Jiang Yan gently pushed Gu Jingyun away with his other hand and walked in.
“No matter how much, it’s never enough.”
Gu Jingyun followed him closely, and after entering the door, he closed it behind him.
He laughed:
"I'm just afraid that I'll be too slick and my image in your heart will plummet from now on. I'm also afraid that you'll find me annoying and don't want me to follow you and watch you all the time."
The tall and thin young man had his back to Gu Jingyun.
The young man did not move for a long while, then silently took out a box.
Gu Jingyun took a closer look and found that the object wrapped in cloth in the box was the jade flute he had given as a gift.
Jiang Yan hung the jade flute back around his waist, like a silent response.
Without looking back, he went straight to the desk with red ears, took out the crucible, silver knife and various materials, and prepared to make the potion.
Gu Jingyun felt more and more relaxed, and asked with a smile, "Can I help you?"
"No." Jiang Yan refused without even turning his head. "Without the 'apprentice', I can go twice as fast."
This time, it was real "disdain".
"All right."
Gu Jingyun shrugged his shoulders and sat casually on the couch. He held his chin with one hand and watched the busy back of the young man.
That gaze was glued to Jiang Yan's back, following him like a shadow, never leaving his body.
Jiang Yan: “…”
Is it too late to regret now and say “my brother is too clingy and annoying”?
It's obviously too late.
Jiang Yan continued to brainwash himself, replacing Gu Jingyun's face with that of the Potions teacher, and changing the bedroom where their private belongings were kept into a brightly lit exam scene.
There was no bed for him and Gu Jingyun, only a "laboratory table for preparing potions".
In this way, no matter how strong Gu Jingyun's presence is, Jiang Yan can pretend he doesn't exist.
——When the invigilator caught cheating, it was exactly the same as it is now!
Jiang Yan gradually calmed down and immersed himself in making the potion.
He completely forgot about Gu Jingyun.
The morning light is dim and the dawn is breaking in the sky.
Jiang Yan reached into the crucible with his magic wand and stirred it three and a half times clockwise for the last time.
Turn off the heat and wait for the potion to cool.
Jiang Yan stretched lazily.
It was not until then that he realized that there was no one else in the room except him.
Walking around the screen, the bed behind it was also empty.
"Hey, where is he?" Jiang Yan was confused and had no idea when Gu Jingyun left.
Jiang Yan wanted to go out and take a look, but when he opened the door, he was shocked.
At the door, two fully armed Sirius Guards were guarding on the left and right.
"Immortal Lord."
The guards saluted in unison.
Jiang Yan asked: "Did the young master order you to guard here?"
Guard: "Yes, the young master believes that the flying boat may be attacked by the demons, so he ordered us to guard it here."
The big brother of the guard took the initiative to say: "In fact, the possibility of being attacked by surprise is not very high. It is easy to be discovered in the air than on the ground. The speed of the flying boat is also very fast. Even the demons may not be able to keep up with it."
Jiang Yan understood very well.
All kinds of precautionary measures are taken just in case.
Guard: "If you have nothing to do, you may rest in the house for a while. The young master will go to check the deployment of the flying boat and the defensive formation, and will be back soon."
Jiang Yan nodded and returned to his room obediently.
It will take another half hour for the potion to cool down.
Jiang Yan took off his boots and climbed onto the couch. He closed his eyes slightly and sat cross-legged in meditation.
For a practitioner to practice all night long is not a big deal.
But ever since Jiang Yan camped outside Tuyi Village for a night, he had been either breaking formations or fighting with the demonic cultivators, which consumed a lot of his energy.
After that, he rode on horseback and boarded the flying boat without stopping. Before he could even take a break, he was busy with interrogation and brewing potions.
The potion to clear the contract is very complicated to make and consumes a lot of magic power and mental energy.
When I was busy, I didn't notice anything unusual.
Once I relax, I immediately feel a strong sense of tiredness.
Jiang Yan originally wanted to meditate for a while to briefly restore his mental strength.
Unexpectedly, after sitting cross-legged for less than an incense stick of time and just beginning to meditate, his body fell to the left.
Jiang Yan was awakened by the feeling of weightlessness and quickly sat up straight again.
That was close, I almost fell asleep!
He still has a lot to do.
The potion has not been bottled yet, and the ratio of water to it has not yet been told to the Sirius Guards.
The information written in Hill language needs to be translated, the purpose of the mysterious formation is still unknown, and no one knows what kind of conspiracy the demons are hiding.
But this state of exhaustion makes it impossible to enter the flow state of meditation.
If you force yourself to do things, there is a high possibility that you will get half the result with twice the effort, which will not be worth the effort.
Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment and waved his wand at the crucible.
Golden spots of light jumped and gathered together, sticking to the outer wall of the crucible.
A little tagging magic.
When the crucible cools to the specified temperature, the marked light spot will return to Jiang Yan's body, reminding him that it is time to process the potion.
"Get some sleep." Jiang Yan put away his wand.
The long bed is large enough for an adult man to take a nap.
Jiang Yan lay on his side, and almost as soon as his eyelids closed, his will fell into the abyss and he fell into a sweet dream.
He was sleeping very soundly.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The door was gently pushed open.
The visitor stepped into the room and was speechless for a moment.
"Why are you sleeping here?"
Gu Jingyun restrained his breath and walked lightly.
His fingers had distinct joints, and his bent knuckles brushed the young man's hair, and his fingertips wiped the dark circles under his eyes.
The man's dark eyes were filled with pity and undisguised love.
"Ayan, thank you for your hard work." Gu Jingyun said softly.
Jiang Yan was not at all repelled by Gu Jingyun's aura and was not wary of him at all.
When the familiar cold fragrance approached him and the man's tall figure enveloped him, the young man relaxed his brows and seemed to sleep even more soundly.
Gu Jingyun realized this, raised his eyebrows, and was very pleased.
No man can resist the sight of his beloved letting down her guard and sleeping soundly in front of him.
Gu Jingyun leaned over slightly, and with his strong arms, he passed through Jiang Yan's neck and knees, and slowly picked up the young man horizontally.
His movements were so careful, as if the person in his arms was a beloved treasure.
As expected, Jiang Yan did not wake up and was still sleeping soundly.
Gu Jingyun moved Jiang Yan to another place with him, wanting him to sleep on the comfortable big bed.
When I first entered the inner room, my hair hadn’t even touched the bed.
A ray of golden light suddenly passed through the screen, bypassed Gu Jingyun, and went straight into Jiang Yan's body.
The next second, the young man who was carried by the princess suddenly opened his eyes.
Jiang Yan met the gaze of the cold and handsome man who was holding him.
Jiang Yan: “…”
Gu Jingyun: "..."
Jiang Yan's face was blank, and he stammered, "Brother, why are you holding me? Where are we going?"
Gu Jingyun has lived for another hundred years after all, so he has a very stable mentality and a thicker skin than a city wall.
He remained calm and said calmly, "I'll take you back to bed. How can you sleep comfortably on the couch outside?"
Gu Jingyun held the person calmly and walked towards his destination.
Jiang Yan struggled to get down: "I'm awake! Let me down quickly, I haven't read those documents yet!"
Gu Jingyun stuffed the person into the bed and pressed down the quilt with his hand.
"You are very tired and need to rest. There is no need to rush to translate the documents."
Jiang Yan: "Then interrogate the demon cultivator——"
The man said calmly, "The Heavenly Wolf Guards are not here to eat and do nothing. I raise them to help the master share the work, not to let you do everything yourself and exhaust yourself."
Jiang Yan said weakly: "The potion has cooled down and has not been diluted with water yet."
"What is the ratio? I'll tell people to do it." Gu Jingyun said.
Jiang Yan quickly informed them, and also explained the key points when taking a bath with the magic potion mixed with water. At the end, he still propped himself up with concern.
"I'd better go to the scene and keep an eye on it."
"no!"
Gu Jingyun pushed the man back with an unsightly look on his face.
How could he let Jiang Yan watch another man taking a bath? !
"Rest assured." Gu Jingyun closed his eyes and said helplessly, "...I'll guard the scene for you."
Jiang Yan doesn't trust anyone except Gu Jingyun.
He blinked and finally lay down.
"How long will it take for the flying boat to reach Dongzhou?"
"Three hours at most."
"Then brother, remember to call me in advance." Jiang Yan said.
"Okay." Gu Jingyun responded, with a hint of hesitation on his handsome face.
Jiang Yan took the initiative to ask: "Brother, what do you want to say?"
Gu Jingyun avoided answering and said, "Ayan, when we get to Jianzong, I will take you to my Bixiao Courtyard, where there is a large bamboo forest."
"Or go to the back mountain. There is a spiritual spring and a sea of flowers on the mountain. The breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers and butterflies surround you. It is so beautiful."
Jiang Yan asked: "Is it as beautiful as the flower sea in the valley you took me to the first time?"
“It’s more beautiful than that place.”
Gu Jingyun whispered: "When that time comes, I have a few words to say to you."
Jiang Yan: "Can't you tell me now?"
Gu Jingyun shook his head with gentle eyes.
Jiang Yan lay there looking at him for a while, then reached out to hook the man's little finger.
"Okay, you're allowed to keep me in suspense."
Jiang Yan whispered, "Once you make a promise by pinky promise, you can't go back on your word, and you can't break your promise."
Gu Jingyun laughed and hooked the young man's hand and shook it.
"I will never break my promise to you."
Jiang Yan closed his eyes contentedly.
"Brother, you can go ask someone to prepare the medicine and watch Zhan Zicheng take a bath."
Qi Ze can't do it.
He had learned the Hill language and had been brainwashed by the demons, and he sincerely wanted to sign a "slave contract", and even potions could not wash away his magic contract.
Fortunately, Zhan Zicheng is Qi Ze's deputy and he knows a lot.
"Go quickly." Jiang Yan urged.
"......Yeah." Gu Jingyun felt heavy in his heart.
Fortunately, I don't have to take off my clothes, the potion will still be effective.
Otherwise it's really an eyesore.
Apart from Ayan, he really had no interest in watching another man taking a bath.
**
Nanzhou.
There were constant sounds of fighting and killing along the mountain road.
The demons really did launch a sneak attack under the cover of night. If Gu Jingyun had not had the foresight to send people to reinforce, I'm afraid that Master Bo would not have escaped the demons' clutches today.
Ling Hanzhang pierced the demon cultivator's heart with a sword and threw the body down.
Suddenly there was a sound of breaking wind.
The cold sword pointed directly at Bo Qin's back.
Not far away.
Jiang Yingtong's eyes were bloodshot, and she shouted sternly: "Master, be careful behind you!"
Bo Qin used his spiritual power to try to defend himself.
Ling Hanzhang suddenly turned around, flew away like lightning, and stood in front of Bo Qin at the critical moment.
The young man turned his wrist and swung his sword from bottom to top, hitting the tip of the demon cultivator's sword.
The two swords collided and rubbed violently, producing sporadic sparks, and then separated.
The Sirius Guards quickly reorganized their formation and moved towards the center.
Jiang Yingtong ran forward and helped Bo Qin up.
"Master, are you okay?"
Bo Qin shook his head: "I wasn't hurt, but Han Zhang was..."
Jiang Yingtong looked up worriedly.
Ling Hanzhang took two steps back, wiped the blood from his lips, his face full of disbelief.
The demon cultivator was very tall, wearing a black nightgown, with a scarf covering the lower half of his face, revealing only a pair of gloomy black pupils.
…Those were eyes that Ling Hanzhang was very familiar with.
What’s the point even if I cover the lower half of my face?
As soon as they met, Ling Hanzhang recognized him.
"So it's you..." Ling Hanzhang whispered softly, "Big Brother, you're not dead."
The Sword Sect has two senior brothers.
The first one is Yu Hanyi, the traitor who once betrayed his master and caused his master and his mistress to be seriously injured and unconscious until now, and is now "dead".
After Yu Hanyi's death, this title fell to Gu Jingyun.
But everyone calls Gu Jingyun "Young Master" more often than "Big Brother."
Gu Jingyun was thousands of miles away, so how could it be him?
Jiang Yingtong was shocked.
She staggered two steps, looked past Ling Hanzhang, and saw the thin man standing at the head of a group of demon cultivators.
Those eyes were indeed his.
But his figure was different from before, he was too thin, not like a human, but like a ghost. He looked like a skeleton wrapped in flesh.
Jiang Yingtong suddenly became furious and shouted, "Yu Hanyi!! How could you do such a cruel thing to Master?!"
She scolded him harshly: "You killed your master who raised you from childhood, and now you want to kill another one? Master treats you like his own son, have you lost your conscience?"
They are engaged and have been engaged.
Bo Qin is naturally also Yu Hanyi's master.
The thin man was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to take off his mask.
It was a face with deep features and sunken eye sockets. Even though he was skinny now, he still looked handsome.
It’s Yu Hanyi.
Yu Hanyi ignored the angry Jiang Yingtong and looked at Ling Hanzhang.
He chuckled and said, "Han Zhang, your Falling Petals and Flying Flowers is extremely exquisite. Didn't you think it wasn't majestic enough back then and refused to learn it no matter what?"
Ling Hanzhang's chest heaved violently, and he couldn't tell whether it was pain or anger.
He said coldly: "If I hadn't learned this move, I would have died under your sword just now."
Yu Hanyi said nonchalantly: "The strong prey on the weak, and the winner is king. If you lose, you will naturally die."
Ling Hanzhang: "...You shouldn't be like this."
Yu Hanyi said coldly: "I pretended to be like this in order to gain the reputation of Senior Brother Qingfenglangyue. Ling Hanzhang, I have always been like this."
"well!"
Ling Hanzhang laughed in anger, "I have been pretending to be magnanimous, innocent, and kind for so many years and have fooled everyone."
"How has the Sword Sect ever wronged you? How has our Master ever treated you badly?!"
Yu Hanyi's face was filled with resentment:
"If it weren't for Gu Jingyun, how could I have fallen to this point! Young Master, Young Master... Why does he have the right to be the Young Master? Is it just because of blood relationship? The future master of the Sword Sect should be me, the senior brother!"
"Gu Jingyun has been stealing my limelight every day. I finally managed to turn him into a playboy, but Master persuaded him back in the blink of an eye, and he still refuses to give a reason!" Yu Hanyi roared.
As the breeze blew by, dozens of girls in pink and purple clothes, holding musical instruments such as pipa, suddenly appeared like light smoke.
They are people who came to help from Ziyun Palace.
Standing at the head was a woman in purple palace dress, she was the Master of Ziyun Palace, Wei Zhiyan.
Wei Zhiyan had obviously listened to the whole thing, and sneered at this moment: "What is the reason why my brother-in-law persuaded Gu Jingyun to practice sword diligently? Do you want to hear it?"
Yu Hanyi glanced around and narrowed his eyes.
"Why, Palace Master Ziyun is willing to help me solve my doubts?"
"Why not!"
"Junior is all ears." Yu Hanyi said.
Wei Zhiyan said coldly: "Brother-in-law only said three sentences to Jingyun. He said--"
[I paid a lot of money to ask Tianjimen to calculate your marriage fate. Your future Taoist partner will be someone who practices and loves swords.]
[The head of Tianji Pavilion said that the man was a child of destiny, born with great intelligence. Whether it was swordplay, battle formations, or musical instruments, or alchemy, he was proficient and was an all-round talent.]
[If you don’t study hard, you and your wife will have nothing in common in the future. Don’t blame me for not reminding you today.]
Wei Zhiyan revealed the secret of the past and said, "This is why he doesn't want to be a playboy."
Everyone: “…”
It turns out that the young master still has moments of youthful admiration.
Ling Hanzhang: “…”
Brother, you have lost all your money.
Yu Hanyi: “…”
Grass!
When did Gu Jingyun become love-brained!
It turns out that the useless Left Protector’s words about Gu Jingyun falling in love with a Hehuan Sect disciple named Jiang, and having sex with him all day long, and no longer practicing in seclusion, were not rumors! !
He thought that the left protector was deliberately deceived by Gu Jingyun and the news was false. Gu Jingyun had set up many ambushes to lure him into the trap.
I should have used a flying boat earlier.
There are a bunch of people in the sky, some can fly and some can't. Wouldn't it be better to ask someone to fly a flying boat and just crash into them?
It's good to create chaos.
There is no time to arrange people to collide at high altitude!
Yu Hanyi questioned angrily: "Didn't Gu Jingyun threaten to practice the ruthless way?"
Wei Zhiyan said expressionlessly: "I used to think that you brothers are all good at pretending."
It's just that the direction of installation is different.
...At least before his parents got into trouble, Gu Jingyun did pretend to be indifferent to love.
**
Above the sky, in the flying boat.
In a blink of an eye, three hours passed.
No one disturbs.
Jiang Yan had a good sleep.
When he was awakened by Gu Jingyun, the flying boat was about to land outside Cangrao City in Dongzhou.
Jiang Yan hurriedly got up and when he looked up, he found that Gu Jingyun's face was not right.
"Is something wrong?" Jiang Yan stopped tidying up his clothes and asked.
Gu Jingyun said: "The team going to Nanzhou to pick up Master Bo was attacked by demon cultivators. Fortunately, they are not seriously injured."
"!!" Jiang Yan was startled and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"
Gu Jingyun said: "Ling Hanzhang brought the elites of the Heavenly Wolf Guard, which was enough to protect them, but there were many people in the ambush of the demons, and Master Bo was almost seriously injured."
"Fortunately, Han Zhang was smart and deliberately chose the road closest to Ziyun Palace. He discovered something unusual in advance and secretly sent people to Ziyun Palace for help."
Gu Jingyun: "Palace Master Ziyun happened to be in the palace and rushed to rescue them in time. They are all fine, just slightly injured."
Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that he's okay."
Gu Jingyun was silent for a while, then said, "I thought he would come to attack me, but I didn't expect he would choose Master Bo."
Jiang Yan asked: "Who do you think is the one who attacked us?"
Gu Jingyun said: "Yu Hanyi, do you remember the traitor from the Sword Sect that I mentioned to you?"
Jiang Yan was shocked: "Isn't he dead?"
Jiang Yan quickly changed out of his wrinkled clothes and adjusted his belt. Gu Jingyun took out a crystal clear white jade hairpin and skillfully pinned Jiang Yan's hair.
The two of them were doing things at hand while talking in low voices.
Gu Jingyun said: "The team that attacked Master Bo was led by Yu Hanyi. Everyone saw his face."
How can a dead person be resurrected?
Jiang Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Was it the demon clan's undead magic that resurrected him?"
"... Exactly." Gu Jingyun said in a deep voice, "After I used potion to wash off the contract on Zhan Zicheng, the confession I got from him during the interrogation was also the same. He planned to steal Xia Wenji's body and try his old tricks again."
Jiang Yan nodded slightly to show that he was listening.
Gu Jingyun's face was as gloomy as water, and he said coldly: "He also confessed that the formation that the demon clan secretly carved was intended to turn the world into purgatory and resurrect the Demon Lord."
Jiang Yan: “!!”
Gu Jingyun: "It's no wonder you couldn't recognize it at the time. The formation on top of the Blood Soul Formation was originally incomplete."
The demons wanted to set up several small formations in different locations on the five continents, and then combine these small formations into a large formation. They wanted to use human flesh and blood as power to supply the demons and awaken and revive the Demon Lord.
"Once the formation is completed, there will be no turning back."
Gu Jingyun looked solemn: "We must take advantage of the opportunity when all the sects gather in the Sword Sect to inform everyone of this matter, unite the cultivation world, find the formation, and break it together!"
Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Since it is a combined formation, there must be traces to follow. It will not be done arbitrarily."
If we can find the diagram of the large formation, we can calculate the key points of the formation in various places and break the formation accurately.
The five continents are so vast that we need to cast a wide net and catch fish carefully.
