Chapter 131 Ji Shitang hides a murderous intention
All the masters in the hall dispersed, leaving only Duanmu Xinghua, Yu Qiurong, and the silent leader of the Xuanwu Seat who had been standing in the corner.
Xuanwuzuo was dressed in black. He looked young and even a little ugly, especially because his face was covered with black pockmarks. His cultivation level was not outstanding among the many masters of the Demon Cult. He was only in the third level.
.
He is also one of the only two people Zhao Qingmei has promoted since she became the leader.
Zhao Qingmei sat on the high couch and said: "Master Duanmu, please tell me about the Golden Eagle Flag."
"yes."
Duanmu Xinghua clasped his fists, and then said slowly: "Just a few months ago, Yu Shouzuo discovered the Golden Eagle Banner's spies near Dongluo Pass, and in recent years, Hou Jin has been purchasing grain, iron ore, and even
There is kerosene, and my subordinates feel that Hou Jin’s spies have appeared outside the customs, and something is wrong..."
Hou Jin secretly purchased and gathered all the necessary items for the war. This matter has been going on for some time. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that on the one hand, it is for preparation for the war, and on the other hand, it is to create suspicion and give all parties an invisible feeling.
pressure.
If the string of a bow is kept tight, sooner or later it will break.
Zhao Qingmei nodded slightly and looked at the head of the Xuanwu Seat.
The head of the Xuanwu Seat cupped his fists and said: "Returning to the leader, we have indeed found the Golden Eagle Flag spies, but in my humble opinion, this matter is normal. Hou Jin has cultivated for more than 20 years, and his minions have become sharp, so he will naturally send spies to investigate.
Peripheral intelligence, this is not the first time I have encountered it.”
"It is rumored that the Emperor of Yan is dying, and the internal conflicts in the court are also very serious. Marquis Wu holds 300,000 soldiers, but he is a noble and aloof person, which has attracted the hostility of many people in the temple. If Hou Jin really wants
If they take action, then Dayan will be their first target."
Since ancient times, war has been more than just battlefields; politics is the core of war.
The battlefield is just a manifestation of politics.
A truly famous general through the ages is not only good at setting up battle formations and galloping on horseback, he is also very sensitive to politics.
Although Wu Hou, who was guarding the border, had an army of 300,000, he was at odds with the people in the temple. In addition, there was great chaos in Dayan. There were many factions in the temple and people were panicked. This was indeed a great opportunity.
But whether the Emperor of Yan really failed to break through the shackles and hid his conspiracy has always made people doubtful, so the world will be safe and sound.
"But I have to wait and be on guard."
Duanmu Xinghua said slowly from the side.
The leader of the Xuanwu Palace nodded and said no more.
"Leave this matter to the leader of the Xuanwu Seat. The Renzong masters hidden in Houjin will also cooperate with you. You must pay close attention to the movements of the Thirteen Flags of Houjin. If there is any change, you are allowed to go ahead with the order.
."
Zhao Qingmei thought for a while and said: "This matter will also spread to Dayan, especially to the ears of Wuhou."
It is said that Wuhou is a god in his military skills and has fought on the battlefield for a long time. He is also the only general of Yan State who has entered the territory of Zhao State. However, his conduct is very criticized. Today, the emperor is uncertain, and Wuhou has lost the information of the dragnet. I don’t know.
Ability to respond promptly.
If Wu Hou's 300,000 troops were defeated by Hou Jin, Zhao Guoding would not let go of this God-given opportunity. By then, Dayan would be in an opportunity to be besieged on all sides...
The general trend of the world is vast and overwhelming. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish.
By then the general trend of the world has been decided, and it will be extremely difficult to stir things up.
"My subordinate understands."
The leader of Xuanwu Seat straightened his body, then clasped his fists, turned around and headed downwards.
Zhao Qingmei asked: "Sect Master Duanmu, your message is not just for this matter, right?"
"That's right."
Duanmu Xinghua pondered for a long time, then clasped his fists and said: "Leader, several elders of the Demon Sealing Platform want to summon you."
The Demon Sealing Platform!
The most mysterious place of the Demon Cult is a place that no one else will easily know.
Many people only know that the masters of the Heavenly Sect of the Demon Sect are extremely powerful, but they do not know that the final destination of these masters of the Heavenly Sect is the Demon Sealing Platform. The Demon Sealing Platform is the greatest foundation of the Demon Sect, and it is also the reason why the Demon Sect can control Dongluo Pass.
key.
After all, in this world, there are not many people who know about the Demon Sealing Platform, and there are even fewer people who know about the masters of this Demonic Sect.
Not to mention anyone else, even Zhao Qingmei doesn't know the true details of this magic sealing platform.
She only knew that when she entered the Demon-Sealing Well, she saw a master master from the Demon Sect and a half-step master.
Mysterious and powerful, this is the impression the Demon Sealing Platform left on her.
Demon sealing platform?
Zhao Qingmei sneered in her heart. She felt so uncomfortable with this feeling of not being able to control it. It was like there was a sword hanging above her head. Sooner or later, she would have this magic sealing platform in her own hands.
"good."
Zhao Qingmei said calmly: "When?"
"It may take about a month," Duanmu Xinghua said.
"It's been too long, let's do it the day after tomorrow." Zhao Qingmei waved her hand: "I have so many things to do every day, and I don't have that much time."
She couldn't wait that long, she had to rush back to Yuzhou City to reunite with her husband.
Duanmu Xinghua said solemnly: "Leader, many elders will show up this time, including the great elder, and the great elder will not be able to leave seclusion for another month."
Zhao Qingmei narrowed her eyes, "It can only happen later!"
"Leader!"
When Duanmu Xinghua heard this, he frowned slightly, "It's only a month, it's gone by in the blink of an eye, why bother with the elders over this? We have to put the overall situation first."
"Since the establishment of our Demonic Cult, we have rarely had disputes with the Demonic Sealing Platform."
Yu Qiurong also said anxiously: "Yes, leader."
She seemed to vaguely guess why Zhao Qingmei wanted to leave in a hurry.
But the Demon Sealing Platform is not a trivial matter, and must not be neglected. It is recorded in the ancient books of the Demon Sect that the thirteenth generation of the Demon Sect leader seemed to have had a dispute with the Great Elder of the Demon Sealing Platform. The final result was that the thirteenth generation of the Demon Sect leader was killed.
Death.
In the eyes of the top masters of the Demon Sect, the Demon Sealing Platform is the Holy Land of the Demon Sect, and they can only obey their orders.
Fortunately, the Demon Sealing Platform hardly cares about world affairs, and will only take action when the Demon Sect's survival is at stake.
Therefore, the demon sect leaders in the past dynasties highly respected this demon sealing platform.
Zhao Qingmei thought quickly in her heart, "Well, I will wait for this great elder for a month."
The Demon-Sealing Platform cannot be touched for the time being due to her strength, but it must be in hand in the future. This time, she can explore the bottom of the Demon-Sealing Platform.
When Duanmu Xinghua heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, then cupped his fists and said.
"Then my subordinate resigned."
After saying that, he slowly exited the hall.
At this time, only Yu Qiurong and Zhao Qingmei were left in the empty hall.
Zhao Qingmei's eyes were as calm as water, and she glanced at Yu Qiurong.
"The leader..."
Yu Qiurong's heart suddenly tightened and she bit her pink lips, "Subordinate, I am also thinking about the leader."
........
Lingnan Road, Bucheng.
The Liao family residence.
If the four major aristocratic families in Jiangnan Road are indistinguishable, then the Liao family in Lingnan Dao is unique and no other aristocratic family can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
Because the Liao family operates 20% of Dayan's cloth, tobacco, porcelain and other businesses, many of which are sold for gold and pure land, bringing unimaginable profits to Dayan, and Liao Fangqi of the Liao family is
He was a famous Confucian scholar and served as Shaobao, the current crown prince.
A handsome man in white clothes with a fair complexion sat at the table, looking at the secret letter in his hand.
Looking at the secret letter, his expression did not change at all from beginning to end.
"interesting."
After a long while, the man put down the secret letter in his hand and picked up the jade bracelet around his waist to play with it.
"Chongyin, what is the content of this secret letter?"
The plain-looking woman in her forties next to her saw this and couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Chongyin, no one in Dayan does not know, is the name of the current prince.
Zhao Chongyin said slowly: "Liu Qingshan was attacked and killed by the Demon Sect and Tianji Pavilion masters. Nurse, what do you think will happen?"
When the woman heard this, her face changed slightly, "Liu Qingshan's cultivation level is in the smallpox realm, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist."
Although Liu Qingshan's strength is not bad, he is still one step away from being truly top-notch. If the Demon Sect and Tianji Pavilion join forces, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
The Five Gang Alliance is a very important chess piece. If it is lost, it will be like losing an arm to the prince.
"yes."
There was a smile in Zhao Chongyin's bright eyes, "But at this moment, the ghost swordsman and the forces behind him appeared, and scared away the masters of the Demon Sect and Tianji Pavilion with one move."
The woman raised her eyebrows, "Ghost Swordsman?"
Since the battle between the Ghost Swordsman and Puhui Bodhisattva, many masters in the world have also paid attention to the Ghost Swordsman of Jiangnan Dao.
Although he defeated Puhui Bodhisattva when he was seriously injured, this swordsman's strength is definitely above the level of smallpox, and he may reach the level of a half-step master, or even a master.
No one in the world knows his true strength, most of them are just guessing.
Many people are searching for his whereabouts, but so far there is no news at all, as if this person appeared out of thin air.
The woman pondered for a moment and said in a concentrated voice: "Is he...?"
It is impossible for the Ghost Swordsman to attack for no reason.
Zhao Chongyin said: "He wants my help to eliminate his reputation among Xuanyi Guards."
"What does the prince mean?"
"This ghost swordsman is really not an ordinary person."
There was a hint of curiosity in Zhao Chongyin's delicate eyes, "I'm curious about who the master behind him is."
Any master or master has a pivotal position in the world.
Aunt Bai nodded and said: "If there really is a master, we can make friends and win over him."
"The Ghost Swordsman is different from others."
Zhao Chongyin flashed a flash of light, "This person has an old grudge with the Zhenyi Sect, so it would be suitable for him to make friends and win over him."
Although he is the prince, it is not easy to win over a master with the strength of a master, and Zhao Chongyin does not want to spend so much effort.
"Old grudges?" Aunt Bai was shocked, "Has the prince already found out this person's identity?"
Does the Ghost Swordsman have an old grudge with the Shinichi Sect?
There seems to be no such rumors in the world, right?
"This person's identity is mysterious and unpredictable. It is not easy to find out his identity." Zhao Chongyin shook his head and asked: "Where is the dragnet locked?"
Aunt Bai said slowly: "The dragnet has been locked on Linhe Street in Yuzhou City. It is difficult to determine it accurately based on the known information. We can only wait for the Ghost Swordsman to take action again and expose more information."
Zhao Chongyin thought for a while and said: "You can now return to Yujing City and talk to Mr. Tang to eliminate the wanted list of the Ghost Swordsman, and there will be no need for the dragnet to check his identity."
"Why is this?"
"Since this person does not want to reveal his identity, we should not investigate. On the contrary, we will be unhappy. Our inaction is to make friends with him. Since this person has an old grudge with the Zhenyi Sect, let the Zhenyi Sect investigate and let Mengtai
Go check it out, he's been very busy lately."
Zhao Chongyin smiled as warmly as jade and said: "By the way, Mengtai still doesn't know that there is a master behind Ghost Swordsman."
Since they have competing interests, let them fight.
"I see."
Aunt Bai felt a little tempted and didn't understand what this matter had to do with Zhao Mengtai, but she believed in the man in front of her and had never let her down.
........
Night gradually falls in Jishi Hall.
"call!"
"Based on time, there is still more than a month, and Madam may be back."
An Jing saw off the last customer who came to buy medicine, then walked into the hall, took out the paper mannequin from his sleeve, and couldn't help but reveal a smile.
The north wind blows south, and the southern geese fly north.
"The seeds of the chrysanthemum have been planted, and we are just waiting for the moment it blooms."
An Jing hummed a little tune and walked towards the backyard.
When the chrysanthemums bloom all over the yard, my wife will be very happy to see them.
"Uncle."
At this moment, Tan Yun walked over quickly and said, "Miss, there is a letter."
"oh?"
An Jing heard this and said, "Bring it to me and take a look."
Tan Yun took out a letter and handed it over.
An Jing couldn't wait to open the letter, and then stared at the letter tightly, and his original joyful mood instantly diluted a lot.
"Uncle...?"
Tan Yun saw An Jing's brows gradually frowning and couldn't help but ask.
This was a letter sent by Zhao Qingmei on an urgent basis through the Renzong Intelligence Network. She didn't know what the content of the letter was.
"fine."
An Jing put away the letter and sighed: "Madam said she was delayed by trivial matters at home, and she also has some relatives to visit. She may come back later, so she asked me not to worry about her."
"oh."
Tan Yun was not surprised. After all, Zhao Qingmei was the leader of the cult. He was very busy on weekdays and had to deal with all kinds of things. It was normal.
An Jing asked casually: "Tan Yun, Madam, do you have many relatives?"
Zhao Qingmei said before that she would come back as soon as possible, but this time the reply actually said that it would be a month late. This should not be an ordinary matter. Could it be that she encountered some trouble?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel worried.
When Tan Yun heard this, he quickly said ambiguously: "It's not much, but it's not much."
An Ding nodded.
"Uncle, it's time, I'm going to close up shop first."
Tan Yun was afraid that An Jing would ask further questions, so he immediately walked towards the front hall.
"My wife's family is in dire straits. Could it be that someone is collecting debts?"
An Jing muttered to himself, "No, my wife sold her family property. She is not rich, but she still has a small amount of assets. If she owed debts, others would not have let her go before."
"Is it because of the dispute over family property?"
With a big family and a big business, it is inevitable that there will be financial competition. If Zhao Qingmei encounters relatives at home who come to ask for money...
An Jing naturally understands Zhao Qingmei's temperament. He is kind-hearted, gentle and virtuous, but there is a bit of toughness and a bit of domineering in his heart.
When Zhao Qingmei was here, Little Hei Zai was as obedient as a grandson, never daring to go crazy, but since his wife left, he has been barking fiercely and wildly, like a wild dog that has escaped the reins.
Also, the last time Song Lin came to the hospital to cause trouble, Zhao Qingmei lifted the curtain and walked out of the backyard. She seemed not afraid at all, and her eyes were always very calm.
What impressed An Jing the most was that one time he and Zhou Xianming went to Huafang to listen to music and were accidentally discovered by Zhao Qingmei. Although it turned out to be safe and sound, what Zhao Qingmei once said still remains in his memory.
.
The heart has the Tigers, fine sniffing the rose.
If she were not born into a scholarly family, then Zhao Qingmei would definitely be the most famous and fierce woman in the country.
It would be difficult to force her to hand over her family property.
Thinking of this, An Jing couldn't help but feel worried.
The madam could not have really encountered any trouble, or was forced by those relatives not to return.
After eating, I lay on the bed unable to fall asleep. I was very worried and couldn't help but think about it.
At this time, the night was getting darker and the earth was silent.
After thinking about it, An Jing really couldn't sleep, so he got up and poured a glass of water.
"There's no water."
An Jing walked to the table and found that the teapot on the table was empty.
"Madam is gone, and we don't even have water to drink."
An Jing sighed, then put on a coat and walked out slowly.
At this moment, there were candles flickering in the front hall.
This couldn't help but attract his attention.
"I didn't expect that it was so late and Tan Yun was still awake, yet he would work so hard."
Thinking of this, An Jing walked towards the front hall.
I saw Tan Yun dressed in lavender clothes, sitting in the place where Li Fuzhou often read, holding a book in his hand, seeming to be engrossed in reading.
An Jing walked over cautiously and came to the back of Tan Yun, for fear of disturbing her study.
And Tan Yun didn't notice it either, which showed that she was concentrating at this moment.
"Um?!"
But when An Jing saw the unsightly contents in the book, his expression suddenly changed.
Tan Yun finally heard the voice behind him and immediately closed the book in his hand.
An Jing was holding a kettle in his hand, and Tan Yun was holding a little figure in his hand. Both of them were slightly stunned.
The whole room seemed to have stopped for a moment.
At this moment, the little black guy ran over shaking his body and looked at the strange two people curiously.
"Aunt...Uncle, this is just a fight between two villains. In fact, there is nothing..."
Tan Yun's face turned red to the root of his neck, as if water was dripping from his eyes, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl directly into it.
Because of the nervousness, my voice became a little shaky.
She never expected that An Jing would get up in the middle of the night, show up when she was really interested, and catch her in action.
It was also my fault that my meridians were closed, my six senses were weak, and I couldn't even hear the footsteps.
My uncle caught me watching this, what would he think of me?
Do you think I am such a person?
Thinking of this, Tan Yun was so ashamed that he wanted to commit suicide.
"Tan Yun... you!"
An Jing looked angry, "How can you read such a book? Do you still want to lie to me?"
He originally thought that Tan Yun was studying hard day and night and studying cooking skills, but he didn't expect that she would be addicted to it!?
After finding out, he still wanted to lie to him, but who is An Jing!?
"I...I, I was wrong."
Tan Yun buried his head on his chest, his fair neck was red, and he looked like a child who had made a mistake.
Looking at Tan Yun in front of him, An Jing sighed in his heart.
It seems that she is indeed older.
Tan Yun quickly said: "Uncle, I only look at it occasionally. No, no, this is the first time I look at it today."
"First time!?" An Jing raised his eyebrows with a trace of disbelief in his eyes.
"Uncle, this is the first time I have seen it today. Really, you have to believe me, I am not such a person." Tan Yun gritted his teeth, "I...I swear, if what I tell is a lie,
Then let the little black boy be struck by lightning five times in the sky, and he will not die a good death."
The little black boy was wagging his tail: "??"
"Okay, I believe it." An Ding nodded.
Tan Yun, Tan Yun, you can't even lie.
"Uncle, this is really my first time. You have to believe me, I'm not that kind of person." Tan Yun saw An Jing's eyes and said hurriedly.
An Jing quickly comforted him: "I believe it, I believe you. Are you saying that I didn't believe you that time?"
"Uncle, just trust me."
Tan Yun lowered his head and begged: "You must not talk to the third master and the young lady about this matter."
"I won't tell anyone."
An Jing then said with a serious face: "But don't look at this thing, you know?"
With that said, An Jing snatched the little book from Tan Yun's hand.
Can Tan Yun see this?
Tan Yun saw that his beloved little book was taken away, and whispered: "Uncle, don't you read it too?"
"Me? You and I are different." An Jing shook his head.
"Yes, what's the difference?" Tan Yun seemed to have become more courageous, and argued: "Uncle, you don't let me see it, but you secretly see it yourself, what are you... I...No
If you want, give it to someone."
"You're still talking back? Okay, you're tough, right?"
"I don't have a hard mouth, I have a soft mouth."
Tan Yun also touched his lips.
"Cut the nonsense."
An Jing snorted lightly and said, "I confiscated this thing. You are not allowed to look at it again in the future. It's late at night, so go to bed quickly."
"knew."
Tan Yun glanced at the little book in An Jing's hand, feeling a little regretful because he had just taken out the book and hadn't finished reading it yet.
Looking at Tan Yun's back, An Jing couldn't help but shook his head, "I really don't learn well. I can't read and learn calligraphy. How can I learn this well?"
Smelly uncle, you look down on people!
Naturally, Tan Yun heard An Jing's muttering and his face turned even redder.
An Jing looked at the book in his hand and wondered secretly, "This book is still a collector's edition. I didn't even buy it at the beginning. Where did Tan Yun get it?"
With that said, he got a pot of water and quickly walked into his room.
Soon a candle lighted up in the room.
It makes this long night something to rely on.
The little black boy lay down in the yard, looked at the sky, took a deep breath, and continued to sleep.
...
Yuzhou City, Wuliang Temple.
In the quiet room, Ling Yuanjing was sitting cross-legged on a futon.
"Master Lingfeng, Master Yuhuai is in Tianyang Palace, saying that he has important matters to discuss with Master Lingfeng."
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded outside the door.
Ling Yuanjing opened his eyes and said, "I understand."
After saying that, Ling Yuanjing slowly stood up and walked out of the quiet room towards Tianyang Palace.
Not long after, we arrived at the main hall of Wuliang Taoist Temple.
At this moment, Master Yuhuai was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall. When he saw Ling Yuanjing walking in, he quickly stood up and said, "Senior Brother Ling."
"Meet Uncle Ling."
"Meet Uncle Ling."
The master of Wuliang Taoist Temple and the disciples of Wuliang Taoist Temple quickly said respectfully.
Ling Yuanjing waved his hand and said, "What happened?"
"It's about the Ghost Swordsman."
Master Yuhuai said slowly.
"oh?"
When Ling Yuanjing heard this, he stretched out his hand to stop Master Yuhuai who was continuing to speak. He looked around and said, "You guys should retreat first."
"yes."
Hearing what Ling Yuanjing said, everyone in the Wuliangdao audience stood up and left.
"Ghost Swordsman is my teacher's plan that lasts for hundreds of years!"
Ling Yuanjing said with a serious face.
The Ghost Swordsman is related to the "Jade Emperor Sutra". This matter is a top priority for the Zhenyi Sect. Naturally, we must be extremely cautious. No one knows whether there are spies from other forces in Wuliang Taoist Temple.
"Junior brother, I understand." Yuhuai Dazhenren also nodded cautiously after hearing this.
"Okay, tell me what happened." Ling Yuanjing waved his hand.
Master Yuhuai said in a condensed voice: "I have received information from Qingfeng Hall. The famous name of the ghost swordsman on the Xuanyi Guard has disappeared, and the dragnet used to track him recently has begun to be recovered."
When Ling Yujing heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Oh?!"
Those who have entered the Xuanyi Guard's handbook and have a red name annotated are basically extremely difficult to eliminate, especially those with first-class red names, because the only people who can eliminate the red name are the deputy governor or chief governor of the Xuanyi Guard.
Isn't he the current emperor?
Those who can please these people have an extraordinary status in the world.
"It seems that this ghost swordsman is not ordinary. There may be a capable person behind him."
Ling Yuanjing said with a solemn expression.
Master Yuhuai sighed and said: "Without the dragnet, it would be even harder for us to find his whereabouts."
Originally, they wanted to rely on the help of the dragnet to find the whereabouts of the ghost swordsman, but now it seems that this method is not feasible.
Although Zhenyi Sect also has its own intelligence organization, compared to Dragnet, it is completely inferior.
After all, the Shinichi Sect has never thought of plotting rebellion, so naturally it will not blatantly develop its own intelligence organization.
Moreover, the current Zhenyi Sect has become very popular and has caused dissatisfaction in the court, so we cannot develop Qingfeng Hall unscrupulously.
"It's really troublesome."
Ling Yuanjing took a deep breath, "I have already sent out an invitation, but the ghost swordsman has been reluctant to show up. It seems that his mind is not simple."
The reason why the Ghost Swordsman didn't come to the appointment was that he was unwilling to hand over his "Da Luo Heart Technique". In addition, he had previously raided Willow Villa and wanted to capture Qi Yun, so he obviously also wanted to get the "Jade Emperor Sutra".
"Hmph, this "Jade Emperor Sutra" is also something he can covet?"
A sneer appeared on the corner of Daren Yuhuai's mouth.
"The Jade Emperor Sutra" is one of the three major secret scriptures in the world. Without strength, even if you get it, it will be a life-threatening talisman.
"In short, we must try to find him."
Ling Yuanjing thought for a moment and said: "Tomorrow, you personally go to Moyun Cave in Tianku Mountain and ask Master Namoyun to come out of the mountain."
"Invite him?"
Master Yuhuai said suspiciously: "But it seems that the spirit-seeking rat needs to inhale the ghost swordsman's energy in order to find the ghost swordsman."
In this world, it can be said that there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons, capable people emerging in large numbers, and the depth is unfathomable.
In Tiancao Mountain, there is a supreme master in Moyun Cave, named Master Moyun. Not only does this person have a high level of cultivation, but he also raises a strange beast soul-seeking rat, which can find the whereabouts of the remaining qi according to the qi.
.
Ling Yuanjing smiled and said: "Yes, when the ghost swordsman strikes again next time, the qi will be left behind. When the time comes, let the spirit-seeking rat inhale the qi, and then the ghost swordsman's whereabouts can be found. Regarding this matter, Mo Yun said
People do it often and it always works.”
Master Yuhuai said: "However, the cost of asking him to come out is not small."
"That's also something that can't be helped."
Ling Yuanjing said slowly: "As long as we can obtain the "Jade Emperor Sutra", it will be just around the corner for the leader to become a Grandmaster. By then, I will be able to achieve my true sect's century-old plan."
Master Yuhuai nodded heavily, "The strength of this ghost swordsman should not be underestimated. Although it is far from as exaggerated as the rumors, he is also a top-notch smallpox cultivation level."
Ling Yuanjing said calmly: "If he is only in the smallpox realm, it will not be difficult to capture this person. At that time, I will tell my uncle and ask the other three brothers to take action together to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Ling Yuanjing acts calmly and calmly, and has a deep heart. Even though he is one of the four peak masters of Zhenyi Sect and holds a high position, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, so he is valued by Xiao Qianqiu. Otherwise, after Xiao Qianqiu retreats, Zhenyi
He will not be given full authority to handle major teaching matters.
When Master Yuhuai heard this, he was shocked: "Several masters joined forces to go down the mountain. I am afraid that only the Demon Sect could have received such treatment."
The Zhenyi Sect has gone to such great lengths to go to war. In the past hundreds of years, only the initial campaign against the Demon Sect was such a grand event. At that time, three of the four peak masters came down, and all the six great masters came down. It can be said that the whole world was shocked.
"A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength."
Ling Yuanjing said faintly: "Besides, in my opinion, the ghost swordsman is not a docile rabbit, but a violent and scary rabbit."
Master Yuhuai nodded, his heart also filled with enthusiasm, "I will get up and go to Tianku Mountain tomorrow."
Ling Yuanjing smiled and said: "Junior brother, don't be anxious. I will personally write a letter tomorrow. Master Namoyun and I have met once before. If you go there holding my letter, you will feel more like an old friend."
"good.
Master Yuhuai nodded.
........
Mazi Lane.
There was an eerie silence in the dark room.
The mummy was suspended in the middle of the room, and beneath it were waves of infuriating energy.
The center of the mummy was a patch of scarlet. Under the huge steam of true energy, the scarlet seemed to be boiling.
So angry!
Since ancient times, only masters can transform the qi in the body into mysterious true qi, and only true qi can refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
And true energy is naturally also the standard for masters.
"Soon......"
The man felt his blood boiling and his heart was filled with ecstasy.
Then the true energy in the body surged crazily, rushing towards the mummy like a rolling river.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
I don't know how much time passed, but the scarlet blood was shaking even more violently, as if it was about to gush out from the mummy.
"Boohoo!"
The next moment, the blood began to gather.
What was originally a ball of scarlet blood turned into several drops in the blink of an eye, and then the drops of blood merged again into one drop.
That drop of blood was not only as bright as blood, but also carried an extremely cruel and ferocious aura, as if it was not a drop of blood but a ferocious beast.
"Immortal blood!"
When the man saw the bright red blood, there was a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
I saw that drop of blood being pulled by the true energy, and then peeled off from the mummy, and finally suspended in mid-air.
"Immortal blood, I can finally peek into the secret of immortality."
When the man saw this, he waved his sleeves and held the drop of bright red blood with his true energy.
"Roar!"
The next moment, an astonishing roar emerged from the blood, and the sound was deafening.
Even if that person's cultivation is at the level of a master, he feels a chill in his heart at this moment.
After the blood burst out with that roaring sound, it began to collapse.
In just a blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dark room.
Immortal blood disappeared!?
"this!?"
When the man saw this scene, he was stunned, and then his facial features became extremely distorted.
The immortal blood was right before our eyes, but in the end it evaporated and turned into nothing?
"What's going on? How is it possible!?"
The man clenched his fists tightly, with a hint of shock in his eyes, and then grabbed the mummy on the ground.
At this time, the mummy was filled with nothingness, and the undead blood seemed to have completely evaporated.
"Creak!" "Creak!"
Because of too much force, the palms made crisp sounds.
"My immortal blood!"
Seeing this, his eyes glowed with blood.
He had worked hard for several years just to get that drop of immortal blood, but when the immortal blood was so close, it collapsed and disappeared.
It would be fine if everything was in vain, but the immortal blood was right in front of him, and he could reach out and get it.
How could he endure this!?
He felt his heart trembling.
I don't know how much time passed before the man slowly exhaled and calmed down: "As expected, it is not easy to get this immortal blood."
"This time, the immortal blood is right in front of me. It's really frustrating. Next time, next time I will definitely get this immortal blood and find the secret of immortality."
Thinking of this, he adjusted his mood and walked out of the house slowly.
It was early morning, and a ray of sunshine shone on the earth.
It shines on his withered, old face.
This person is none other than Mr. Jiang.
"Grandpa Jiang, Grandpa Jiang."
At this moment, a childish voice came from afar.
He saw a girl wearing a coarse shirt, with a happy smile on her lips and eyes, running towards him.
"Xiaoya, what's wrong?"
With a smile on his face, Mr. Jiang picked up the girl who was running towards him.
Xiaoya said with a concerned look: "Grandpa Jiang, I just heard your voice, so I ran over to take a look."
Both He Ping and his wife had to help out, so they often left Xiao Ya alone at home.
Although she is young, she is very well-behaved. Not only does she clean her own home on weekdays, she sometimes also helps the lonely and helpless Mr. Jiang to clean.
"Hahaha."
Mr. Jiang couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Master Jiang, you seem to be in a bad mood?"
Xiaoya said curiously.
"You can actually see it?" Mr. Jiang said in surprise.
"Yes, I can feel it." Xiaoya said seriously, "It's like standing in the cold wind."
"Yeah, I'm in a bad mood."
Mr. Jiang touched Xiaoya's face and let out a long sigh.
Xiaoya said with concern: "Grandpa Jiang, if you have anything unhappy, you can tell Xiaoya."
"My immortal blood is gone."
Mr. Jiang said melancholy.
"What is immortal blood?"
"A treasure that can make people live forever.
"Grandpa Jiang, can people really live forever?"
"Why not?"
Xiaoya looked confused and was very confused about what Mr. Jiang said about longevity.
"It would be great if I could be as young as you."
Mr. Jiang pinched Xiaoya's cheek and said with a smile: "It's a pity, time will never turn back."
Xiaoya always felt that Mr. Jiang was a little strange today, especially when he smiled, which gave her a very cold feeling.
"Grandpa Jiang, Xiaoya is going back."
"Go back?"
When Master Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Xiaoya, do you want to stay with Grandpa Jiang forever?"
Xiaoya shook her lips and whispered: "Although Xiaoya also wants to, my parents still need Xiaoya."
"It seems that you disagree?"
Mr. Jiang's smile deepened, but Xiaoya felt even colder.
"Xiaoya wants to go home."
Xiaoya quickly broke away from Mr. Jiang's arms, but no matter how hard she struggled, it was to no avail.
Seeing Xiaoya crying, Master Jiang quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of Xiaoya's eyes and said, "As long as you agree to accompany Grandpa Jiang, Grandpa Jiang will let you go back."
When Xiaoya heard this, she quickly choked and said: "Okay, if I have time in the future, I will accompany Grandpa Jiang."
"Okay, okay."
When Master Jiang heard this, he was immediately elated, "Xiaoya, do you know? Grandpa Jiang likes you the most. As long as you stay with Grandpa Jiang, Grandpa Jiang will be very happy."
Xiaoya looked at Grandpa Jiang in front of her, feeling shocked and scared, and said, "Grandpa Jiang, can you let me go back now?"
"Since you said you wanted to stay with Grandpa Jiang, why would you go back home?"
When Mr. Jiang heard this, he immediately showed dissatisfaction.
"I......"
Before Xiaoya could finish her words, she felt her eyes blur, and a great pain surged over her, as if it was going to burn her.
This huge pain did not last long, that is, after one breath, she closed her eyes.
Master Jiang looked at Xiaoya in his arms with affection and whispered: "Xiaoya, you said you wanted to accompany Grandpa Jiang. You should go and wait for Grandpa Jiang first."
The girl in his arms seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep without any response.
Mr. Jiang then carefully put down the girl, fearing that she might bump into her, and then walked out of the house slowly.
As spring arrives, the weather gradually becomes warmer.
At this time, Yuzhou City is full of pedestrians, busy with traffic, and bustling.
Mr. Jiang stepped on the faint sunshine and walked in the market.
"Master Jiang, long time no see." A policeman on patrol saw Master Jiang and couldn't help but asked, "Why does your face look so bad?"
Mr. Jiang chuckled and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a while and I feel a little unwell. Now I'm going to visit Jishi Hall."
"Then go quickly, Doctor An's medical skills are still very good." The policeman heard this and said quickly.
Along the way, people greeted Master Jiang from time to time, and Master Jiang responded politely and courteously no matter who they were.
He has been here for two or three years, and as he is easy-going and informal, everyone has a very good impression of him.
After walking two or three streets, Mr. Jiang finally arrived at the market on the bank of the Yuzhou River, and then came to the entrance of Jishi Hall.
Suddenly, his steps paused slightly, and his eyes looked at the brand new plaque with a hint of confusion.
"Yuzhou City is really a good place. I don't know why I feel reluctant to leave it."
