Chapter 177 Chang Feichang is here
Ning Mingmei and Qi Miancheng went up the mountain together. Ning Mingmei walked on the left, and Qi Miancheng followed on the right.
"It's been eight years since we last met, and you are still the same as you were eight years ago, without any change. And I am still your senior brother!" Qi Miancheng said, extending his hand to Ning Mingmei, "Junior brother, we haven't walked hand in hand for a long time..."
...Instead of making small talk, you can just not chat.
What is the term 'hand in hand'? Is this how you use 'hand in hand'? Who has ever walked hand in hand with you and when?
In order to prevent Qi Miancheng from holding his hand, Ning Mingmei walked beside him with her hands folded, both of her hands tightly covered in her sleeves. He said coldly: "Brother, there was really no sign of your coming out of seclusion this time!"
Qi Miancheng said: "As the saying goes, a dragon lurks in the depths, and still waters run deep. As the head of the Qingji Sect, my every move is now at the forefront of public opinion, so I have to be more low-key. When people want to be low-key, they often encounter the difficulty of wanting to be quiet but the wind does not stop. But now, Junior Brother said that I came out suddenly, it seems that the way I came out this time was very clever."
Ning Mingmei: "Brother, look at what you just said, is there any logic?"
Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore. During the eight years of seclusion, Qi Miancheng must have memorized a dictionary of elementary school proverbs.
Qi Miancheng smiled. In order to avoid being attacked by strange words again, Ning Mingmei said: "Brother, you didn't come out earlier or later, but you came out after I left Piaomiao Peak. This really makes me think too much."
Ning Mingmei dragged out the ending of this sentence, which was full of a sense of exploration.
Qi Miancheng said: "Junior brother..."
“…”
"I am really happy that my junior brother pays so much attention to me. Yes, my junior brother's leaving Qingji Sect is also one of the reasons why I came out of seclusion. Although there is this reason, my junior brother specifically told me that he has discovered my preference for him, which also makes me happy." Qi Miancheng said.
Ning Mingmei: ...
Qi Miancheng: "You and I, brothers, are united in purpose, and our strength is unstoppable. Junior brother, let's shake hands."
Ning Mingmei coldly handed the sword behind him to Qi Miancheng.
Qi Miancheng actually shook hands with Jianshao with a bright smile. After a moment, he said, "Junior brother, I actually have another reason for coming out of seclusion."
"During my retreat, I calculated that there will be a catastrophe between heaven and earth." Qi Miancheng suddenly said, "This will be a catastrophe between heaven and earth, and it will also be a catastrophe of life and death for me."
The mountain wind was howling, and for a moment, it actually brought a sense of gloom and chill. Ning Mingmei rarely stopped and asked, "Life and death calamity?"
"yes."
"Brother, you should have many ways to escape from the life-and-death calamity." Ning Mingmei sneered.
"There is no escape, no way to flee, the only thing to do is to face it head on." Qi Miancheng's words showed no fear of death at all, "If you can't survive this life-and-death catastrophe, the end result will be to live as long as the heaven and earth."
Becoming a speck of dust between heaven and earth, how can it not be considered as living as the same age as heaven and earth?
Ning Mingmei rarely made sarcastic remarks towards Qi Miancheng this time. After a moment of silence, he said, "You are so open-minded, it's a bit..."
"Is it beyond your expectation, Junior Brother?" Qi Miancheng said, "Haha, in life, no matter how hard you try, you can't escape the fate of death. Not only ordinary people, not only cultivators, not only demons, many high-sounding people talk about justice in a nice way, but when it comes to the real life and death moment, they will burst out with the strongest survival instinct, and be more ferocious and hateful than anyone else. Everyone will be like this."
“Some people are not like that.”
These words came out abruptly but gently from Ning Mingmei's lips. After uttering these words, not only Qi Miancheng's eyebrows moved slightly, but Ning Mingmei was also stunned. Afterwards, he regained his usual calmness and said, "It is human nature to be afraid of death."
"Indeed. The only thing that is scary is that a person cannot admit and accept that he is afraid of death by nature." Qi Miancheng sighed, "Junior brother."
"Um?"
"I don't know what I will look like when facing death. If it looks ugly by then, please remember, brother, don't look at me." Qi Miancheng said.
Ning Mingmei was about to speak when he heard the disciples' voices reporting the news from the other side.
"Ning Xianzun!"
"Senior Brother Wen... is in trouble!"
In addition to Wen Sihui, the person who came to report the news was Lian Chengyue who was wearing blue clothes.
The young man was originally running towards this side gracefully. But when he saw the young man in white standing next to Ning Mingmei, he stopped.
Such a face, such facial features...
There seemed to be a vague memory rising deep in my heart. Lian Chengyue has always been good at assessing the situation. He knows how to get what he needs through the appreciation of powerful people. But when he saw this person for the first time, he didn't feel at all that his status should be inferior to others.
On the contrary, the feeling was like the collision of two poles, full of disgust and full of fear.
There is also a vague fear.
But at this moment, seeing him standing with Ning Mingmei, Lian Chengyue felt only disgust in his heart, which overwhelmed everything else.
"Junior brother, it seems that you have had another encounter in Dongji Mountain." Qi Miancheng said in a gentle voice, "Who is this young man?"
Ning Mingmei said: "His last name is Lian, and his name is Chengyue. He is a good candidate."
Lian Chengyue raised her chin slightly, as if she wanted to show off in front of Qi Miancheng. Qi Miancheng looked at him and thought to himself that Lian Chengyue was still too immature at this moment.
He said, "Yes, it is good. It is very suitable to enter Yanyun Tower."
Lian Chengyue: ...
"May I know who this elder is?" Lian Chengyue asked, but his eyes were on Ning Mingmei.
Ning Mingmei: "This is the leader of Qingji Sect, Qi Miancheng."
…
…………
All is done!
Qi Miancheng looked at Lian Chengyue and smiled. Lian Chengyue saw that the smile was only on his fair face.
But it never fell into the dark eyes.
So Lian Chengyue also looked at him. He was not afraid at all, and he also curled the muscles at the corners of his lips and gave him a similar smirk.
…
Wen Siheng's condition is indeed not good.
The circuits engraved all over his body had already allowed Hunlun to permeate his entire body, blending into his limbs and bones, and even partially into his flesh and blood. Ning Mingmei burned the lotus lamp to expel it, but it could only expel a part of the surface of his body.
The dullness that had seeped deep into my body could not be forced out. If you force it, Wen Siheng will vomit blood.
Ning Mingmei treated Wen Siheng for four consecutive days. Wen Siheng's condition did not improve either. At the same time, all the Wuchang people knew about the "Hunlun" incident. For a time, Dongji Mountain was crowded with people from the Wuchang people who came to check out the situation.
At the same time, unfortunately, there were no people from Lingfeng Sect on Dongji Mountain. They were confined to the sect by Wu Chang and are under investigation. Ye Xuefei and Old Twenty-Five, who originally stayed in the city, also provided the investigation team with sufficient evidence that the Lingfeng faction was obstructing the investigation.
The Lingfeng faction investigation is led by Yanyun Tower. The investigation team on Dongji Mountain is mainly composed of people from Qingji Sect. During these four days, many people came here despite all the hardships.
Among them are Lin Heting and the third brother Gui Taoran. Although Bai Bugui was also extremely anxious, he did not dare to leave the sect as he had not yet obtained a permanent green card in the Qingji Sect.
In addition to these disciples who were responsible for handling affairs, two unexpected people also came.
One of them was Chang Feichang.
Wen Siheng and Mu Hanshan's wards are close to each other. When Ning Mingmei walked towards Wen Siheng's courtyard, he happened to see Mu Hanshan in the next ward.
Mu Hanshan was hit by Chang Jing's poison needle and drank some poison. Now he can't be said to be paralyzed, but at least he is not very healthy. Fortunately, he was not poisoned seriously. Compared with Wen Siheng who is still unconscious, Mu Hanshan can now lean on the bed, wake up and talk to people.
When Ning Mingmei looked in through the carved window, he saw a young man in gray clothes. The boy has delicate features and long eyelashes. If Ning Mingmei didn't know him, it would be hard for ordinary people to imagine that this young man is already three or four hundred years old.
Moreover, he is the leader of Qingji Sect and a swordsman in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Mu Hanshan was the young man who looked older than him. He tried hard to prop himself up and sit up, but the pain in his body made it difficult for him to hide his expression, and it was difficult for him to put on his usual calm expression.
"Hanshan." Chang Feichang lowered his eyes and said, "You are injured in the back?"
Mu Hanshan nodded. He wanted to explain that it was just a momentary carelessness and that his master didn't need to worry. Chang Feichang said, "Turn around."
The young man's slightly cold hand fell on his back, and Mu Hanshan was unable to speak.
Although the two are master and apprentice. But there had never been such an intimate action between them. Chang Feichang was used to being lazy, and even when he was teaching Mu Hanshan how to use the sword, he never taught him step by step.
Only at this moment did Mu Hanshan realize that although his master's fingers were as slender as a boy's, there were still thin calluses and shallow scars on his palms.
This is the mark left by sword practitioners after years of training.
But it was precisely because of such a master that his cultivation stagnated at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and there was no possibility of further progress from then on… Mu Hanshan tensed his muscles. He didn't know why he was so nervous, and could only attribute it to his heartache for his master.
But Chang Feichang said two more words, like the collision of ice and stone.
"Does it hurt?" he said.
Mu Hanshan shook his head vigorously. Chang Feichang said calmly: "It should be very painful."
"Master, I'm fine." Mu Hanshan said, "But since Master left the sect, the cultivation of the sisters and brothers in the peak..."
"Well, I didn't do any work originally." Chang Feichang replied.
Mu Hanshan: ...
He was so anxious that he coughed repeatedly. Chang Feichang said, "Take good care of your injuries."
He pushed Mu Hanshan back onto the bed gently. Mu Hanshan lay on the bed and looked at him, but reluctantly: "Master, you look very energetic today."
After a long while, Chang Feichang said lazily, "...Is there?"
The feeling that Master gave him today was indeed different from usual. Mu Hanshan thought.
For example, the Master’s voice and reaction when he looked at the scars on his back just now were also somewhat different.
But Mu Hanshan was too young at that time. However, the life of his seemingly young master was too complicated. Those complexities were mixed with too many experiences that he couldn't go through, so even after ten or twenty years, he still didn't understand.
For example, in the years to come, there was a question that always lingered in Mu Hanshan's mind, tormenting him over and over again.
——Are you here to see me, or to find an opportunity to talk to Ning Mingmei?
But he didn't say this out loud in the end.
There was a movement inside the window, and Ning Mingmei discovered that Chang Feichang was looking at him. He was about to speak when he heard other noises behind him.
Wen Siheng's sister, Wen Sihui, has arrived.
