Chapter 18 Saying One Thing and Doing Another

　　Chi Banquet laughed bitterly, he was very clear about which kind of person his senior brother detested the most, back then, even if he mentioned his junior uncle, he wouldn't have half a bit of good color, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I had thought that today, the summit would ask about the matter of Bihu Peak." 　　Yuan Riding Whale sneered and said, "If the Sect Master doesn't allow to ask, who dares to ask?" 　　Chi Banquet said with some uneasiness, "Even if we don't ask, we still have to give an answer." 　　Yuan Riding Whale said, "Let's just say that Senior Brother Lei was sneak attacked by the Fountainhead Forest and the Underworld Ministry in Chaoge City, and suffered some injuries and is recuperating." 　　Chi Yan nodded in silence. 　　He naturally knew that this was not the true situation. 　　Bihu Peak Peak Master Lei Broken Cloud was insane. 　　When he was sent to Shangde Peak from Tian Guang Peak, he had already gone crazy. 　　Yuan Riding Whale walked to the deepest part of the cave and came to the well. 　　The top of Shangde Peak was unknown thousands of feet from the ground, and even if the mountain walls contained some water, it was impossible to pump it up. 　　It was extremely strange that there was actually a well here. 　　The mouth of the well was very dark, and it was unknown just how deep it was. 　　In the entire Castle Peak Sect, only the truly great people know that this deep well leads directly to the underground sword prison. 　　That Sword Prison held demons that no one wanted to face, as well as those betrayers. 　　An extremely mournful voice rang out from the bottom of the dark well. 　　The voice should be extremely far away, listening to some ambiguity, but the resentment and madness hidden between them is incomparably clear. 　　"Even if there is no one, what about two!" 　　That cry was extremely grudging, like a ghost crying, making the hearer's heart fearful. 　　Chi Banquet had advanced into the You Ye realm for many years, and could be called a Sword Immortal, but listening to this shout, his face still turned a little pale. 　　Or perhaps it was because, not too long ago, this madman in the deepest part of the Sword Prison was still the extremely high-status Bihu Peak Master of the Green Mountain Sect? 　　He asked, ''What exactly should we do? We can't just keep Senior Brother Lei locked up all the time, he's always shouting that phrase and doesn't understand what it means, how can we go about finding out?" 　　"Why can't we keep locking him up all the time? It doesn't matter why he went crazy, or if he was really crazy when he struck out at that time, but if he dares to disrespect the Sect Leader, there is a reason for him to be locked up." 　　Yuan Riding Whale looked at the bottom of the well, listening to the mournful cries, his face was ugly. 　　"There is no one, what about two!" 　　"No one, what about two!" 　　Chi Yan could not understand the words. 　　Not many people in the entire Green Mountain Sect could understand this sentence. 　　He could understand it. 　　He even knew that it was probably because of these words that Lei Broyun went crazy. 　　But if it was the Sect Leader who made him go crazy, why not just let him die? It was the dead who would never speak, whether it was truth or madness. 　　Why did the Sect Leader still send him to Shangde Peak? Is it really because the heavens have the virtue of good life? Or is it ...... 　　What are you trying to test me with this madman? 　　...... 　　...... 　　Jing Jiu touched the slightly warm bracelet and walked into the small, quiet building. 　　This small building was behind the Southern Pine Pavilion, traveling seven miles by the mountain road, suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, as if a barrier separating the two worlds. 　　He knew why the bracelet was glowing, because the portraits of its previous generations of owners were now in this small building. 　　This small building enshrined the portraits of the successive generations of the Green Mountain Sect's Sectmasters as well as important figures. 　　The Two Forgotten Peaks represented the Castle Peak Sect in external battles, and was the peak that spilled the most blood, so the successive peak masters were naturally qualified to be called important figures. 　　However, cultivators have a long lifespan, even if most of the Two Forgotten Peak masters ended up dying in battle, there were only a total of seven portraits in the small building. 　　In accordance with the bracelet's wishes, Jing Jiu looked at all seven portraits, as for the more conspicuous portraits of the successive ancestors, he did not bother to look at them. 　　The long corridor to the end, he stopped in front of a portrait, that portrait looks still some new, should be hung up without any years. 　　It was the portrait of Jing Yang Zhen Zhen. 　　Jing Jiu quietly looked at the seemingly real face in the portrait for a long time and said, "I've almost forgotten what you look like." 　　Walking out of the small building, he left the mortal world and arrived at the inner gate of the Green Mountain Sect. 　　Jing Jiu looked up and saw that all the peaks of the Green Mountain were hidden, leaving only nine peaks standing under the dome of the sky. 　　The clouds did not flow between the peaks, hanging like an umbrella or a cover, the thinnest part was like a piece of paper, the scenery was beautiful to the extreme. 　　Lu Shi waited for him outside the building, saw his thoughtful look, could not help but smile, thinking that finally saw this young man some reaction. 　　Then he remembered that when he first entered the inner sect and saw Nine Peaks, he was also so baffled. 　　All these years he was never able to enter the Traveling Wild Realm, with a limited lifespan and an uncertain outlook, so he had to leave the Nine Peaks to go to the Outer Sect to become a Teaching Immortal Teacher. 　　If he hadn't coincidentally heard that passage and patiently searched around Yunjie Town, finally seeing Liu Shiyou and Jing Jiu in that small mountain village, or his future life would have been spent in the Southern Pine Pavilion. Which would have been like now, where he was bestowed with top grade pills for his meritorious deeds, and was more than able to return to Shangde Peak to continue his cultivation, and might not be able to break through the Touring Wilderness Realm the day he did so. 　　"Senior Brother Jing, what are you thinking about?" Master Lu said with a smile. 　　As long as you enter the inner sect, you will be referred to as senior brothers, as they are all third generation disciples, as for the specific division, it is something after the Sword Bearer Conference, of course, you also need to be favored by the division leader of a certain peak to be able to do so. 　　Master Lu came from Shangde Peak, so he naturally hoped that Jing Jiu would be able to go to Shangde Peak to cultivate in the future. 　　Jing Jiu said, "Master Jing Yang was ascended, not dead, why would his portrait also be hung in the building?" 　　Master Lu was dumbfounded, where would he have thought that he would ask such a question, thinking to himself that Master Jing Jiou was really different from the commoners, I don't know how many disciples used to look at the statues of all the generations of ancestors in that small building, who would think of going to this place? 　　This question he could not answer, so he could only return a bitter smile, and then said with a straight face: "I will go back to the peak of the meditation retreat, this goodbye I do not know when to see you again, senior brother take care." 　　Jing Jiu looked at him and said, "I don't think you'll have a problem." 　　Lu Shi once again smiled bitterly and thought to himself that Senior Brother Jing was really a wonderful person. 　　...... 　　...... 　　There was a stream and river between the nine peaks, with all kinds of buildings scattered along the river, small courtyards or tall buildings, and many caves between the cliffs. 　　Once every three years before the Sword Bearer Conference, the young disciples who were recruited into the inner sect would learn the sword way here. 　　I don't know if it was because the disciples would often wash their swords on the banks of the stream, or for some other reason, this stream had a name: Sword Washing Stream. 　　And this stage of cultivation for Green Mountain disciples was called sword washing. 　　Here disciples needed to break through one or two realms of Zhitong and Shoucheng one after another until they touched the third great realm before they were qualified to participate in the Sword Bearing Assembly. 　　If the disciple was chosen by the head master of a certain peak at the Sword Bearing Conference, that disciple would become a personal disciple, and would be exposed to the true sword techniques of the Castle Peak Sect. 　　Of course, that disciple could also sign up to enter the Two Forgotten Peaks - if those high-minded senior brothers on the Two Forgotten Peaks could look at you. 　　The Two Forgotten Peaks had a very special location in the Green Mountain Sect. 　　This peak had no inheritance and no master, but the disciples on it could receive the most patient and strict education from the masters of all nine peaks. 　　Because Two Forgotten Peaks is the sword of the Green Mountain Sect. 　　In addition to cultivation, the most important thing for the disciples of the Two Forgotten Peaks is to represent the Castle Peak Sect to fight with the outside world, to fight with those horrible demons and the strongest people of the Underworld. 　　Becoming a Two Forgotten Peak disciple was of course extremely dangerous, but it was also very rewarding to be in constant battle. 　　More importantly, it would have been a great honor. 　　What if, no matter how hard one cultivated at the Sword Wash Stream, one could not break through those two realms, could not participate in the Sword Bearing Conference, and could not be chosen by the peaks as a personal disciple? 　　This rarely happened, but not never. 　　The first question Jing Jiu heard when he came to the streamside and faced that senior uncle from Xilai Peak was this. 　　He thought very carefully before saying, "I've never thought about this." 　　It was true that he had never thought about it, but when it fell on other people's ears, the words would seem a bit proud. 　　Instead of getting angry, that Xilai Peak's senior uncle laughed, patted his shoulder, and said, "Worthy of being Jing Jiu, this is truly the most perfect answer."
