In a dark secret room, Deng Feibao whispered a mantra to the clear water in the copper basin. After a moment, the water in the basin rippled, and a mysterious figure wearing a golden mask appeared. On the forehead of the mask was a radiating star.
The sun is like a third eye. Even if you use the water basin to communicate, you still vaguely feel that you are being watched closely by the other person.
"Lecturer." Deng Feibao saluted respectfully, not daring to be indifferent in the slightest.
"There is no need for such false etiquette." The mysterious figure who was called the leader said in a dull voice: "How is it? Is Qianji Pavilion under control?"
Deng Feibao said with a smile: "This disciple has lived up to the great trust of the leader and has successfully taken over the position of the leader of Qianji Pavilion."
"Okay." The leader then asked: "The various ingenious creations in Qianji Pavilion are enough to reverse the situation on the battlefield. The great cause of the revival of our Rising Sun Sect is not far away!"
Deng Feibao clasped his fists, made the Rising Sun mudra, and shouted: "The Rising Sun is shining brightly, Tianxia Yongchang!"
The golden-faced leader nodded and said, "Very good. Envoy Deng, you really did not disappoint me. Now we are about to start an uprising in the three counties of Sanluo, Xianyang, and Danqiu, and we need the ingenuity created by Qianji Pavilion."
The smile on Deng Feibao's face was a little stiff, and he said: "Master, please forgive me for speaking frankly. I have recently taken over the position of the master of the Qianji Pavilion. If a large number of the creations are leaked out, I am afraid that the Xiong court will immediately hold the disciple accountable, which will be detrimental to the disciple."
Contribute to the great cause of education."
"There is some truth in this statement." The golden-faced leader asked again: "However, didn't Qianji Pavilion have any corruption in the past? After you took over, you should immediately check the treasury books."
Deng Feibao's expression was solemn: "Disciple has checked. All ingenious creations in Qianji Pavilion must be registered and registered. Every addition or deletion must be witnessed by the Pavilion Master and the other two elders. It is extremely difficult to forge.
It happened that the previous Pavilion Master, Tao Hongjiu, had a rigid temperament and was never willing to make any changes. When I was working under him, I gave several advices, but he didn't listen at all."
"Qianji Pavilion sits guarding Jinshan, but is willing to be a lackey of the Xiong Kingdom. It is a pity and hateful!" The golden-faced leader snorted coldly.
Deng Feibao quickly followed up and said: "Yes, Qianji Pavilion's current achievements are all due to the appreciation and importance of Emperor Rui Ding in the past. Unexpectedly, they secretly rebelled and secretly activated Henglu City to escape from the imperial capital, causing Emperor Rui Ding to lose his
Only by destroying the key shield can all kinds of traitors be allowed to break into the palace."
"Such rebellious crimes will one day be dealt with one after another!" The golden-faced leader quickly calmed down and said: "Previously, you copied a batch of maps of Qianji Pavilion's creations, and I ordered people to build them.
But it can't be started. It seems that something crucial is missing. Now that you have taken over as the Pavilion Master, you should know what is lacking."
Deng Feibao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Indeed, some of the creations of Qianji Pavilion require the activation of Qianji Spiritual Moment. It is like the kindling that ignites firewood. Without this thing, those clever creations that can attack cities and destroy armies are just like ordinary earth and rocks.
Normal, unable to move."
"So, these key things must be personally controlled by the master of Qianji Pavilion." The golden-faced leader said: "In this case, you can secretly come to Sanluo County, bring the Qianji Spiritual Moment, and activate the several statues we have built.
Qianjun Iron Warriors. If the Xiong court investigates, you will blame the former pavilion master and say that during the audit, you found that there was a missing machine in the inventory."
"This is what my disciple planned, but..." Deng Feibao looked troubled and hesitated: "I'm afraid..."
The golden-faced leader shouted and asked: "Is it possible that this thing is not in your hands?"
"Tao Hongjiu secretly handed over the Qian Ji Spirit Moment to a junior named Tao Heling. He took advantage of the chaos and escaped from Henglu City. His disciples are hunting him down." Deng Feibao lowered his voice and replied.
The golden-faced leader said nothing, but Deng Feibao seemed to be able to feel the burning gaze coming from the basin, almost piercing him.
"As far as I know, there are not many people with advanced cultivation in Qianji Pavilion, and the position of the pavilion leader is not based on the level of magic power." The golden-faced leader said: "The junior Tao Hongjiu is at best a skilled person.
Master Craftsman, this leader has sent you a group of experts, but they can’t even deal with an ordinary person?"
"Originally, a group of subordinates had caught up with Tao Heling, but during the battle they accidentally forced him to fall into a mountain torrent." Deng Feibao said, "But for some reason, Tao Heling's body was not found, and a few days later, the disciples sensed the Qian Ji Spirit Moment.
Appeared in the Anmin Village newly established by Shangjing Sect. But when the disciples rushed there, the direction sensor was broken again."
The golden-faced leader snorted coldly: "This is obviously someone who came to help! You made a mistake!"
"Disciple is guilty!" Deng Feibao said quickly: "This is just a matter of the Qianji Spiritual Moment being lost. Disciples dare not speak out rashly. If the Qianji Pavilion knows about it, I am afraid it will arouse suspicion, so I personally went out to search for it."
"Hu Tu!" the golden-faced leader scolded: "You just took over the Qianji Pavilion, and you went out in a hurry before things were sorted out. Anyone can find out that your intentions are not pure. You will not meet anyone from the Shangjing Sect.
Bar?"
"Not yet." Deng Feibao said: "But the disciples are currently short of manpower and cannot carry out large-scale inspections. I am afraid that the leader will need to send a group of capable officers to help."
The golden-faced leader thought for a moment and then asked: "Where are you at this moment?"
"Wenlu County, Fuyang County."
"The great flood caused extensive damage, and it was a time when refugees were everywhere." The leader of the Golden Mask said: "Such a chaotic situation is the most suitable for hiding his whereabouts. I believe that Tao Heling has not left Panyang County yet.
It just so happens that this leader will send people to transport a batch of ingenious creations from Sanluo to Panyang County later, and the manpower will be at your disposal. In addition, after regaining the Thousand Ingenuity Moment, activate those batch of ingenious creations as soon as possible."
Deng Feibao lowered his head and cupped his hands: "Disciple, I obey!"
"If there are really experts around Tao Heling, you must be careful. This leader has received news that Xia Huanggong, one of the Four Immortal Dukes, has gone to Fuyang County." The leader of the Golden Faced Leader said: "On the surface, he is trying to settle the refugees.
But this move is clearly directed at us."
Deng Feibao couldn't help but worry: "When Tao Hongjiu was in charge of Qianji Pavilion, he had a lot of contacts with Xia Huanggong. Could this be..."
"Don't worry, he is currently dealing with the pollution of the water veins." The golden-faced leader laughed and said: "Since learning that Duke Xia Huang is coming, the leader has arranged for people to poison the water veins of wells and canals in various places, mixing with the turbid gas in the earth veins.
Ordinary people will get sick if they drink it.
Isn’t Duke Xia Huang accustomed to flaunting his benevolence? Then let the people everywhere suffer from illness. If he intervenes, he will be unable to do anything. If he sits idly by and ignores it, then our Rising Sun Sect can send people to come forward to deal with it.
Win the hearts and minds of the refugees on the pretext of curing illnesses!”
"The leader's miraculous calculations, the disciples truly admire him!" Deng Feibao exclaimed.
"This is just the first step." The Golden-faced Cult Master said: "When there is trouble in the three counties, Xia Huanggong will definitely take the initiative to step forward. At that time, he will fall into the death situation carefully arranged for him by the Cult Master. By then the Four Immortals
I left one of them and took the land of the three counties into my pocket. I also have the Qianji Pavilion to continuously create ingenuity for the Rising Sun Sect. Tianxia's restoration of the country is just around the corner!"
Deng Feibao immediately praised: "The rising sun will shine, and Tianxia will be prosperous! In the future, Tianxia will restore the country, and I wish the leader to ascend the throne!"
"Don't mention these words again!" said the golden-faced leader: "In the future when Tianxia returns to the country, I will welcome and serve the true emperor. I will never do anything that causes rebellion!"
"Yes, yes, my disciple made a mistake." Deng Feibao said quickly.
"Okay, you go and do the work." The golden-faced leader said: "The sooner you find the Qianji Spirit, the sooner you achieve great things. Your position will be indispensable in the new Tianxia Dynasty in the future."
"Disciple, please remember this!"
After saying this, the water surface of the copper basin rippled again, and the golden-faced leader's light and shadow disappeared. Deng Feibao then retreated, wiping his cold sweat.
"Is this madman serious about Tianxia's restoration of the country?" Deng Feibao muttered in his heart: "He actually wants to poison the water source. I have never heard of such an ability before. Could it be that he is trying to win over him again?
Which kind of monster? Forget it, it’s better to find Qianji Lingju as soon as possible.”
The Rising Sun Sect was originally founded by the Tianxia clan during the Five Kingdoms War. What they wanted was to restore the Tianxia Dynasty. Although Deng Feibao was born in the Rising Sun Sect and was cultivated by it since he was a child, he never had the idea of restoring the country in his heart.
Ideal, I feel that some old people in the church are only obsessed with the past.
It's a pity that for a long time in the past, with the Xiong Kingdom as the most powerful family among the five Kunlun Kingdoms, and the Shangjing Sect and the Four Immortals guarding it, it was almost unshakable.
Until now, with this leader presiding over the plan, the Rising Sun Sect no longer seeks to raise troops and cause chaos in various places. Instead, it secretly cultivates talents, accumulates strength, and infiltrates throughout the Xiong Kingdom, including Deng Feibao, who has worshiped Qianji Pavilion.
However, although Deng Feibao didn't believe in Tianxia's lies about reviving the country, he did not dare to disobey the golden-faced leader. He had once seen the leader smash a monk who had condensed the Xuanzhu into pieces with just one palm of his bare hands. His cultivation and magic power were probably not inferior to those above.
The Four Immortals of Jingzong.
Therefore, Deng Feibao did not find it strange at all when the golden-faced leader claimed to deal with Xia Huanggong. On the contrary, this move could end Deng Feibao's more than ten years of hiding, and he could finally feel proud.
Take out the stone bead. This object is called the Hub Yuandan. It was created by the craftsmen of Qianji Pavilion in the past generations after imitating the Thousand Ji Spirit Moment. But even after spending countless efforts, it still cannot reproduce another Thousand Ji Spirit Moment.
One of the few reliable and magical uses of the Hub Yuan Dan is that it can resonate with the Thousand-Ji Spirit Moment. In Deng Feibao's hands, it can be used as a magic weapon to check the location of the Thousand-Ji Spirit Moment.
Deng Feibao pinched the Hub Yuan Dan. He originally had no hope, and used his magic power to push it a little, but suddenly he felt a harsh sound, as if it was close to his ears.
"This...Thousand-Ji Spiritual Moment is in Wenlu County!" Deng Feibao, who understood this, was overjoyed. He immediately rushed out of the secret room and began to mobilize people. This time, no matter what, he must seize the Thousand-Ji Spirit Moment!
…
The clouds converged and gathered around Qianji Lingju again. Zhao Shu had a subtle expression and said nothing.
"Master Immortal, how is the situation?" Tao Heling looked around. The night was like water, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. There was only the sound of the watchmen knocking on bamboo sticks.
After Zhao Shu and the two came to Wenlu County, they settled in an abandoned temple in the city. Many homeless people gathered here, and their qi was dirty. It was not supposed to be popular with those who cultivated immortality, but it happened to be where Zhao Shu was hiding.
place.
"After waiting for most of the night, the other party used the search spell again." Zhao Shu handed the Thousand Ji Spirit Moment back to Tao Heling and said: "I can sense that the magic weapon used by the other party has a unique resonance with the Thousand Ji Spirit Moment. Could it be the Thousand Ji Spirit Moment?
Is there another Thousand Wisdom Spirit Moment in the pavilion?"
"I know, it must be the Hub Yuandan!" Tao Heling said: "This thing was made by the craftsmen of Qianji Pavilion in the past generations to imitate the Qianji Spiritual Judgment, but this was not successful. In addition to resonating with the Qianji Spiritual Judgment, it cannot replace it at all. effect."
"This may make us more certain that Deng Feibao came to pursue him personally," Zhao Shu said.
Tao Heling nodded: "That's probably it. He couldn't master the Qian Ji Spirit Moment in the past, but he still came into contact with the Hub Dan Yuan."
"Does Deng Feibao have the power of cultivation?" Zhao Shu asked again.
"Yes, according to what he said, he is a disciple of the Gupan Sect and is proficient in refining magic weapons. Unfortunately, the sect's inheritance has been cut off. He has wandered around the world for many years. He admires the ingenuity of Qianji Pavilion and came here to learn from him." Tao Heling frowned. Said: "Now that I think about it, most of these are just fabrications."
"That's not necessarily the case." Zhao Shu said: "Qianji Pavilion is of great importance. If you come to become a disciple, you will definitely investigate its origins. I guess that the Gupan Sect did exist, and maybe what he cultivated is the Gupan Sect. It is difficult for outsiders to find flaws in the magic formula."
Just like Zhao Shu walked under the identity of Xu Huaiyu of Xuanpu Hall, it was because he himself had practiced "Sumai Danxin Jue". Unless he found other disciples of Xuanpu Hall who were scattered outside, it would be difficult to reveal Zhao Shu's identity.
And even if Qianji Pavilion doesn't care, the Xiong Kingdom's imperial court appointed Deng Feibao as the head of the pavilion, so it's impossible for him to go without scrutiny. The fact that Deng Feibao can take over Qianji Pavilion shows that there aren't many problems with this person's background.
But then I thought again, if Deng Feibao is really a spy planted by the enemy, wouldn't he have to be trained from childhood to adulthood? How many variables will there be along the way? Who can ensure that this person will achieve something and will surely reach a high position in the future? Such a guess This is a bit out of common sense. Zhao Shu would rather believe that Deng Feibao was bewitched and bribed by the enemy on the way.
"Since Master Immortal can confirm that Deng Feibao is in Wenlu County, shall we go elsewhere next?" Tao Heling asked.
"We can't leave now." Zhao Shu smiled and said: "I deliberately lifted the ban on magic and waited for Deng Feibao to perform a magic inspection. If he was a little smarter, he would definitely monitor the county gate closely. Anyone who leaves Wenlu County will inevitably I might be able to leave on my own, but it would be hard to take you with me."
"It's the juniors who have dragged down the Immortal Master." Tao Heling said guiltily.
"There is no need to say this." Zhao Shu smiled calmly and said: "But I would like to see how Deng Feibao will search for the Qianji Spirit Moment after losing his azimuth sensing. Whether it is searching secretly or in a big way, I have my own ideas. Countermeasures. By the way, when he shows up, I can also find out personally and see what kind of person he is."
Given Zhao Shu's current level of cultivation, every step he takes will often lead to subsequent changes. Although he cannot yet fully understand the future situation, he can try to work on the details to make the situation develop in his favor. He has a vague hunch that, Deng Feibao is looking for Qianji Lingju, but there is an unpredictable conspiracy behind it, hidden behind a lot of fog.
