Pengyuan Sect, Bo Ju Pavilion.
Dan Huizhen's face was full of worry, "It's been so many days, but the person who delivered the medicine still hasn't come. I don't know if Senior Martial Brother can hold on in his current situation."
A few years ago, Mu Bingxin's eldest disciple, Jin Hong, saw that there were cultivators coming to help from the outside world. He couldn't help but disobey his master's order to go out and receive them. In the end, he didn't receive the person and returned with serious injuries. He died a few days later, but he was trapped in the door and had nowhere to reincarnate, so he could only hide in the jade.
But this wasn't a long-term solution, so Mu Bingxin could only send letters to the sects she was on good terms with. She made promises and begged the outside world to send things to protect the spirit.
A month ago, Scarlet Yang Sect sent a letter saying that they would soon send a disciple to escort the spirit herb. But until now, there was still no sign of him.
Jiang Zheng stretched out his hand and held her jade-like hand. He comforted her, "Senior Martial Brother Jin is a good man. According to the letter, if the Devil Sect is heavily guarded, they will place the spiritual herb on Yin Gong Island. We will go and get it ourselves. Maybe it has already been delivered. When the time is right, Madam will send a disciple over. Maybe it will be found."
The maidservant Xiu Er, who was standing at the side, suddenly interrupted, "Son-in-law, those disciples are clumsy and have low cultivation. How can they hide from the demonic sect's eyes and ears? It's better for you to go, isn't it? "
Jiang Zheng looked up at her in surprise, then looked at Dan Huizhen, but the latter lowered her head and didn't look at him.
Jiang Zheng slowly let go of her hands, thought for a while, and stood up, "Tonight, I will go personally. Wife, rest early."
When Dan Huizhen saw him walking out, she felt a wave of guilt in her heart. Her lips moved as if she wanted to call out to him, but when the words reached her mouth, she didn't say them.
Xiu Er said happily, "Wife, besides Elder Mu, your cultivation is the highest in the sect. He will definitely succeed."
Dan Huizhen suddenly felt confused. She said faintly, "This has nothing to do with him."
She had joined the sect at a young age, and Jin Hong was already a Mystic Light Realm cultivator at that time. He took good care of her, and she always saw him as a father or brother. She had an indescribable feeling toward him, but after she became husband and wife with Jiang Zheng, she buried those feelings deep in her heart.
She saw that the handsome man of the past was now just a cold corpse, with a wisp of his soul attached to the jade, wailing sorrowfully every night. She really couldn't bear to see this. He could not leave the mansion because of his master's orders. That was why he wanted to ask Jiang Zheng for help.
She slowly closed her eyes. If something happened to Jiang Zheng, she didn't know how she would face it. As for now, she could only force herself not to think too much.
On the other side of the cave. Mu Bingxin came out from the hiding place of her eldest disciple, Jin Hong. She raised her head and looked at the night sky. Seeing the gloomy sky with no moon or stars, she sighed inwardly, "Hong 'er's fate is really not good. I wonder when I will be able to break through this dark cloud and send him to reincarnation."
She sighed softly again and returned to her abode full of thoughts. However, two hours later, she suddenly sensed something. She opened her eyes and said coldly, "Someone, quickly go and find out who triggered the restriction formation of the mountain gate. Quickly go and find out who triggered the restriction formation of the mountain gate. "
After a while, a disciple hurried over and said, "Elder, I have already found out that the person who broke through the formation is Mountain Lord Jiang."
After Jiang Zheng entered Pengyuan Sect, he gave her the Po Residence Pavilion on the island, so the people in the sect all called him Mountain Lord.
Mu Bingxin was startled. She got off the bed and waved her sleeves on a stone that was polished smooth. Sure enough, Jiang Zheng's appearance appeared in the restriction formation. She felt lucky in her heart.
That day, there were a few disciples of the Profound Light Realm who followed Jin Hong back to the mansion. Because she was afraid that there were spies of the devil sect among them, she changed a part of the restriction formation and didn't tell anyone. Fortunately, this was the case. Otherwise, Jiang Zheng would have been able to leave the cave.
Now, anything could happen to anyone in the sect except Jiang Zheng. Otherwise, not to mention Qincang School, just Zhang Yan alone wouldn't let her go. The other party was the number one sword fighter of the Eighteen Sects. If they really fought, just thinking about it made her heart tremble.
Moreover, she heard that Jiang Zheng had a good relationship with his fellow sect members. Now that there were two people from the Zhao You branch who achieved Yuanying, if they could come to help, they would definitely be able to break through the situation.
She pondered for a while and said, "Invite him to see me. Listen carefully, don't be unreasonable!"
The disciple accepted the order and left.
Not long after, Jiang Zheng arrived. After entering the cave, he respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Spiritual Master Mu."
Mu Bingxin didn't reprimand him. Instead, she said with a pleasant expression, "Just Now, why did Nephew go out?"
Jiang Zheng knew that he couldn't hide it, so he told her the whole story.
When Mu Bingxin heard this, she couldn't help but reprimand him, "Hong 'er didn't listen to his master's orders and ended up like this. He only has himself to blame. How can you mess around with Hui' er? If something happened to him, how am I going to explain it to your master? "
Jiang Zheng admitted frankly, "Nephew did indeed act rashly, but Senior Martial Brother Jin has great prestige in the sect and is supported by the disciples. If we let his soul scatter, the hearts of the people in the sect will definitely be lost, so Nephew had no choice but to do this."
Mu Bingxin looked at him in surprise. She was a little touched in her heart. She originally thought that he had no choice but to do this because of Dan Huizhen's pleading. She didn't expect that it was completely for the sake of the overall situation of the sect.
The human heart really couldn't be underestimated. The Devil Sect had the art of bewitchment to invade one's soul and will, making it impossible to guard against it.
Although the disciples who returned the day before yesterday didn't see any problems, they were still under close supervision. If there was really something wrong, it was very likely that they would be taken advantage of.
Thinking of this, her expression became even more gentle. She comforted him with kind words, "Jin Hong is my disciple after all. I will also think of a way to deal with him. You can go back first. Tell Hui 'er that I have my own arrangements for this matter. Tell her not to act smart on her own."
Jiang Zheng bowed deeply and calmly turned around to leave.
Mu Bingxin looked at his back with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She thought to herself, "A friend in need is a friend indeed. Zhenren Zhang's disciple is really not bad. Although his aptitude is a little poor, his Dao heart is tenacious, he is diligent, and he also knows the big picture. Even if he can't cultivate the Six Imperial Technique to the highest level, with him in the sect, I can also rest assured to hand the sect to Hui 'er in the future. I really did the right thing in matchmaking the two of them back then."
Then she thought again, "I originally wanted to watch him for a few more years before making a decision, but now it seems that there's no need for that. The second half of the Solar Fire Technique can be bestowed."
After Jiang Zheng arrived outside the cave, he smiled faintly.
Although his aptitude was not good, he was different from ordinary cultivators. He had mingled in the mortal world for many years and even served as a provincial military officer for a few years. He was quite knowledgeable about the ways of the world.
Jin Hong was Mu Bingxin's eldest disciple. Although she said it lightly, how could she not care about the hundred years of relationship between master and disciple?
Dan Huizhen had come to his door to beg. If he did not save her and the news spread to Mu Bingxin in the future, even if she did not say it, it would inevitably cause a knot in her heart. It would ultimately be disadvantageous to his own cultivation. But with this attitude, both sides would have an explanation.
As for the restriction, even if it was not changed, he would pretend to accidentally touch it. Anyway, everyone knew that he lived in seclusion. He only focused on cultivation. It was reasonable that he was not familiar with the layout of the inside and outside.
He shook his head. Elder Mu in the sect treated him well, but although Dan Huizhen was husband and wife, she had always treated him indifferently. He could not help but think of his generation in the Zhao You Mansion. He looked up at the sky and muttered, "I wonder where Master is now …"
At this moment, he suddenly heard a huge tremor outside the door. It was as if the sky and the earth had split open. The entire cave shook along with it, and a stone table in the courtyard was overturned on the ground. He hurriedly stabilized his body, and could not help but be surprised. He did not know what had happened outside.
In the cave, Mu Bingxin's face was solemn. She could feel that Just Now, when the sound was heard, the spiritual vigor within a radius of ten miles was moving together. It was the first time she met someone with such strong mana. She could not help but feel a chill in her heart. If the other party was a cultivator of the Demon Sect, then Pengyuan Sect would be in danger.
She waved her sleeves, wanting to use the Mirror Stone to reflect the movement outside. But because the spiritual vigor was restricted, it was useless even after several attempts. She could only give up dejectedly.
Footsteps could be heard from outside as Dan Huizhen hurriedly rushed in. When she saw Jiang Zheng, she stopped in her tracks and heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She said softly, "I don't know what happened outside, but my husband did not go out. I am also at ease."
She was also very conflicted in her heart. She did not want Jiang Zheng to take the risk, but she hoped that he could really retrieve the spiritual herb.
Jiang Zheng saw a hint of joy in her eyes at that moment, and his heart was stunned. He then said softly, "I have made Madam worried."
Mu Bingxin heard the sound in the courtyard, and also came out of the cave. She said, "Hui 'er, you came at the right time. I wonder what happened outside. I need to maintain the restrictive spell. Quickly go down and comfort the disciples."
When Dan Huizhen was about to go, Jiang Zheng suddenly called out to her, "Madam, the restrictive spell of the mountain gate is not damaged. If there are no accidents, it should be the cultivators of Xuanmen who came to help."
Dan Huizhen was stunned, and wanted to ask him how he could be so sure, but after thinking about it, she understood the meaning behind it.
The situation outside was unclear, and it was very easy to cause unrest in people's hearts. If it was really the Demon Sect's scheme, then they must not do as they wish. Only by saying this could they quickly calm people's hearts. However, she did not dare to make a decision on her own, and could not help but look at her master.
In Mu Bingxin's heart, there was a deep admiration. At the crucial moment, Jiang Zheng was calm in the face of danger, and dealt with it calmly. She was even more determined to hand over the second volume of Daoist book to him, and said to Dan Huizhen, "Then let's say it like this."
But just as Dan Huizhen turned around, she heard a clear voice from outside, "Is Elder Mu here? Qincang Zhang Yan has come to visit."
Mu Bingxin first revealed a look of disbelief, and then it all turned into ecstasy. She almost lost her composure and said, "It's Daoist Zhang. Someone, come, quickly, Hui 'er, quickly take my message and open the door of the Forbidden Array House. I want to personally welcome him."
When Jiang Zheng heard that familiar voice, his face was also filled with surprise and excitement. His hands were clenched into fists and slightly trembled.
Dan Huizhen hesitated and said, "Master, there are still cultivators of the Demon Sect outside, and they have opened the array door …"
Mu Bingxin, however, was not worried at all, and said confidently, "With Daoist Zhang here, what can two Demon Sect Elders do? Disciple, feel free to go. "
Dan Huizhen softly said "oh", glanced at Jiang Zheng, and then walked out of the door.
Mu Bingxin turned to look at Jiang Zheng and said, "That's right, how could I forget about Martial Nephew? Your master has come, and as a disciple, you should come with me."
Not long after, there was a rumble inside the mountain gate, and the forbidden door was opened. Mu Bingxin came out together with Jiang Zheng.
When they arrived outside the mountain gate, they looked up and saw a dignified and handsome Taoist in a black robe standing in the air with his hands behind his back. Behind him, there was still smoke and dust rolling on the island. Jiang Zheng's eyes couldn't help but warm up. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed heavily. Tears immediately flowed down his cheeks, and he choked with sobs, "Disciple greets Master."
Zhang Yan laughed heartily, raised his sleeve slightly, and said, "Disciple, get up. With Master here, I will definitely not let you be bullied by outsiders."
His voice was not loud, but it rolled out like thunder, shaking the surroundings.
Mu Bingxin's heart trembled when she heard this. These words seemed to be directed at the Demon Sect, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be referring to something else. Fortunately, she thought that she had treated Jiang Zheng well all these years. She calmed herself down, and went forward to bow, and said, "I didn't know Daoist Zhang was here. I didn't welcome you, please forgive me."
