In a small stone room, there were three dejected people.
Chen Yunsheng knew that it would not be easy when he promised Bai Ya to bring back Luo Zhiqing. He became even more discouraged after hearing Zhang Mingyuan's description. Luo Zhiqing was imprisoned in a place called Luofu Tower in Tingfeng Valley.
There is a team of foundation-building monks patrolling outside throughout the day, and there is also an alchemy-building monk sitting inside the tower.
Not only that, there is a magic circle on each floor of the seven-story pagoda, and even the ten feet outside the tower are covered with restrictions. It is too difficult for Chen Yunsheng to forcefully break into such a place. With his current strength,
I'm afraid even the team of foundation-building monks patrolling outside the tower would be difficult to deal with.
"How long do we have?" Liu Xiaoshan asked.
"The soul contract says six months." Chen Yunsheng replied.
"Yunsheng, when you and I return to the Jinsha Kingdom, my father will definitely find a way to break the soul contract for you. I...I..." At this point, Liu Xiaoshan couldn't go on. She knew how to rescue Luo Zhi
Compared with Qing, the more feasible way is to break the soul contract. If he can't do it, Chen Yunsheng will definitely die. She dare not imagine the consequences, let alone experience the feeling of being helpless and watching the person she loves slowly die.
Looking at Liu Xiaoshan who looked gloomy, Chen Yunsheng said softly: "Why should Xiaoshan be so worried? There are still six months, and it may not be impossible. Even if the Louvre Tower is like a piece of iron, if you look carefully, there should be gaps. We can take a long-term view and slow down."
If you look slowly, there will always be a solution.”
At this time, Zhang Mingyuan felt uncomfortable. He was the one who led the way this time. If he hadn't sworn to lead the wrong way, how could a group of people have fallen into a wolf den? If they didn't meet White Fang, even if they met one or two transformed wolf demons
They can cope with it, and at worst they can run away. With the speed of his purple lightning escaping from light, few alchemy monks can catch up with him.
He sighed and said: "This is all my fault, brother. I drank a little strong alcohol when I was exploring the cave last time and my mind was a little unclear. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made the wrong path. What Yun Sheng said is true. Let's observe Luofu carefully.
There can always be some loopholes in the movement of the tower."
Chen Yunsheng pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Zhang, you don't have to blame yourself. This happened all because of Chen, and I should be solely responsible for it. I wonder if Brother Zhang has some reliable disciples in Tingfeng Valley?"
Zhang Mingyuan scratched his head, thinking that Chen Yunsheng was going to rely on his disciples to force his way into the Louvre Tower, so he couldn't help but muttered: "To tell you the truth, Lao Zhang has a few incompetent disciples, most of whom are still in the Qi training stage, which is very embarrassing.
Use it."
Chen Yunsheng knew Zhang Mingyuan's thoughts well and chuckled: "Brother Zhang, does he think that Chen is going to borrow your disciple to force his way into the Luofu Tower?"
Zhang Mingyuan's eyes widened and he said seriously: "Brother Chen, please don't take advantage of this disciple. No matter what the matter is, as long as Lao Zhang can help, I will definitely spare no effort."
Chen Yunsheng felt more and more that Zhang Mingyuan had a straightforward personality and a clear distinction between love and hate. He was a trustworthy person. He said slowly: "Brother Zhang, don't be nervous. Yunsheng will naturally not let them do anything that violates the prohibition with force. Even Brother Zhang and Chen
I don't dare to let you do anything that goes against the sect. I want a few of your reliable disciples to find out for me the restrictions around the Louvre Tower and the route taken by the patrolling monks. As for rescuing people, Chen
One person is enough."
Zhang Mingyuan felt relieved when he heard this. If Chen Yunsheng really asked him to help save people, he would be very entangled. After all, no one would do anything that goes against the sect.
"This is easy. I'll have someone do it in a moment."
Liu Xiaoshan looked at Chen Yunsheng tenderly with a pair of beautiful eyes. Since she came out of seclusion, through these days of getting along with each other, she felt that Chen Yunsheng had changed tremendously. His character became more resolute and courageous, unyielding in the face of adversity, and devoted to his friends.
He and his relatives protected him in every possible way. His vision became sharper and he had unique insights into everything. He completed the transformation from a boy to a man.
"Those shoulders seem to be wider and the chest is thicker. What would it feel like if I leaned on them gently now?" Liu Xiaoshan suddenly realized that he was distracted and hurriedly gathered his mind. His neck couldn't help but turn red, and his face was a little blocked by the mask.
can not tell.
…
Huang Guan is a monk in the middle stage of Qi training. He has been studying with Zhang Mingyuan for ten years. In these ten years, it is not that he has not practiced hard enough, but that his bones are really bad. Among the five elements of spiritual roots, four elements are mixed.
Unbearable, except for lack of soil, ordinary monks would not accept a disciple with such poor qualifications. But Huang Guan was not without merit. At least he had a sharp eyelid. Knowing that his master was good at wine, he tried every means to get wine from the mortal world. Zhang Mingyuan also
He was regarded as a confidant, and he was the one who spearheaded the mission to spy on the Louvre Tower.
Huang Guan came to the outside of the pagoda leisurely, pretending to be passing by accidentally, and glanced at the pagoda from time to time. Every time he glanced at it, he recorded the array patterns he saw in the sea of consciousness. As he walked, he looked, and soon he saw the southwest side of the pagoda.
He did not dare to stay here any longer, so he turned around and left. It was still the same on the second day. After a month, he finally recorded the patterns on the Eight-sided Pagoda clearly.
Another disciple who is responsible for spying on the news is called Zhang Lifeng. This disciple has just been in the door for more than five years. His cultivation is still in the early stage of Qi training and his qualifications are acceptable. However, because he is obsessed with alchemy, he has neglected his main business for five years.
Since then, not only has there been little progress in practicing alchemy, but even the cultivation level has been stagnant. Despite this, he is relatively generous and is relatively easy-going among the qi-training monks in Tingfeng Valley. Zhang Mingyuan is more assured of this apprentice's ability to do things.
.
Zhang Lifeng and Huang Guan used different methods. With the help of his connections in Tingfeng Valley, he began to contact the two low-level monks who were responsible for the daily cleaning of the Louvre Tower. He usually got very close to the two people, and from time to time he would come up with some advice on spiritual practice.
He shared some beneficial elixirs, and the two monks also regarded him as a confidant.
On this day, two monks in charge of cleaning happened to be on duty. Zhang Lifeng came outside the Louvre Tower. He was still twenty or thirty feet away from the tower when he was stopped by three foundation-building monks. Zhang Lifeng, who had just entered the immortal world,
In their eyes, his little hairy head was nothing. One of the monks curled his lips and said, "Hey! Don't go any further. There is a forbidden area ahead."
Zhang Lifeng said with a smile: "The three senior brothers don't know something. The younger brother is here to clean the Luofu Pagoda for Wang Dalu. Yesterday, his practice went wrong. Now he is adjusting his breathing on his own and can't come."
The leading monk glanced at him and said: "This place is a forbidden area, and it's not just whoever Wang Dalu says can take over. Anyway, there is already a monk cleaning the yard, so you can go back."
Zhang Lifeng secretly thought that it was not good, but his expression did not change at all. He still said with a smile: "If senior brother can write me a note and say that it is your wish that I don't have to clean today, then I will be happy and free. I'm afraid of the internal affairs hall.
It’s hard to talk to my boss, so I’ll blame Junior Brother Wang later.”
The leader of the monks glared at him: "Who do you think you are? I still want to write you a note. It's fine if I don't hold Wang Dalu accountable for his failure. If you still won't let me go, don't make me angry here. Please give me a note immediately."
I'm going away." These few words were said clearly and neatly, and Zhang Lifeng's heart sank to the bottom. It seemed that this plan was ruined.
He was about to turn around and leave when a foundation-building monk on the left spoke: "Wait a minute. Senior brother, I think you are too nervous. You are just cleaning the yard. Look at him, he is just a junior Qi practitioner."
Why, it is obviously a monk who has just entered the mountain gate. What problem can there be? Are you afraid that he will not let the monster go? If you ask me, let him go in and clean it up. The wind is blowing hard these days, and the yard is already full of fallen leaves.
Already."
The leading monk thought for a while and felt that he was really a little nervous, and immediately said: "Hey, boy, go in and remember to clean up well. If I see a fallen leaf, I will never be lenient."
Zhang Lifeng was so happy that the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground. He quickly thanked him and hurried to the courtyard of the Louvre Tower. Another monk in charge of cleaning was named Feng Zhanshan. He had been here for a long time. He and Wang Dalu
One person was responsible for half of the yard. He had already cleaned his own half. He neither wanted to help Wang Dalu clean the yard, nor did he dare to just leave. When he was hesitating, he saw Zhang Lifeng walking towards him with a stooped posture.
.
Feng Zhanshan asked in surprise: "Junior brother Zhang, why are you here? Did the three foundation-building monks outside the door let you in? This is a forbidden area!"
Zhang Lifeng smiled bitterly and said: "He's not that good guy like Wang Dalu. I invited him to a drink last night. He probably hasn't seen any delicacies in the world for a long time. He ate too much and had diarrhea. His legs were weak this morning."
, thanks to him being a monk, it’s really embarrassing. He was afraid that the boss would bring bad luck to him, so he asked me to help him clean up. Knowing this birdman, I will be unlucky in this life."
Feng Zhanshan felt unhappy when he heard that Zhang Lifeng didn't invite him for a drink last night. Later, he heard that Wang Dalu had "diarrhea" and immediately said: "Junior brother Zhang, I'm telling you because you are an honest person. Don't mess with that guy in the future."
The man surnamed Wang is lazy all day long and has an eye for money. He is greedy for petty gains and is not kind. Lao Feng has worked with him for many years, but he knows his details well. Don't take advantage of him. "
Zhang Lifeng frowned and made an expression as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Thank you, Senior Brother Feng, for reminding me. We brothers will have a drink together tomorrow. I will clean up the fallen leaves in this yard first."
When Feng Zhanshan heard that the other party wanted to treat him to a drink, he was very excited and immediately wanted to help Zhang Lifeng clean up. Unexpectedly, Zhang Lifeng refused and refused to let him do it. Looking at the junior brother who was sweeping the floor like embroidery in front of him, Feng Zhanshan was overjoyed. He could not let go of this taken advantage of.
He got it.
The entire ten feet below the Louvre Tower was swept by Zhang Lifeng inch by inch. Even the area that Feng Zhanshan had just swept was swept by Zhang Lifeng again. His reason was that the wind had blown the fallen leaves in the courtyard to the half of the courtyard that Feng Zhanshan had swept.
, since the fallen leaves belong to his side, he should clean them up. Feng Zhanshan was extremely grateful, and for a moment he felt a little ashamed of his dirty thoughts just now, "How could I bully an honest person like this?"
