Chen Jingyun did not hesitate and bowed directly in front of everyone.
Especially the word 'sir' in his mouth is extremely solemn, and he calls himself a student, as if he is paying homage to a teacher.
This scene surprised Lin Cheng and others present. They didn't understand why Mr. Chen suddenly made such a move, with doubts in his eyes.
"Mr. Chen, why is this?"
Song Zhishu immediately stepped forward and helped him up, guessing that Chen Jingyun might know his identity, but even so, he shouldn't behave like a Confucian disciple, right?
The influence of the Taihao Sword Sect is very great, and few forces in the world can match it, but there is no relationship between the two parties.
Therefore, Song Zhishu was a little confused, and his words contained questions.
"Mr. Song doesn't know something."
Chen Jingyun stood up, but still held up his hands, and spoke solemnly: "Students have been studying for many years, but they have not understood the Confucian principles for a long time, so they have been stuck in the three realms of entry and cannot make any progress. Fortunately, Mr. Song was reciting in the Taihao Sword Sect.
The way of the university caused the sound of heaven and earth, and the literary spirit descended from heaven. After I understood some principles, I was fortunate enough to enter the holy realm of knowledge. Mr. Song taught me the principles, and I benefited from them, so I should perform this discipleship ritual."
Obviously, he already fully knew the identity of Song Zhishu, and also understood that this was the person who recited the Tao of the University in the Taihao Sword Sect.
Chen Jingyun explained very clearly why he saluted. It was precisely because of this that he entered the holy realm of knowledge.
In Confucianism, since you have understood some truths from others.
It's totally fine to call yourself a student.
When Song Zhishu heard this, he also recalled the vision of heaven and earth that was caused when he recited the Dao of the University. He couldn't help but smile: "That was just an unintentional act on my part. Mr. Chen's benefit depends entirely on himself and has little to do with me."
"That's not the case." Chen Jingyun was very serious and spoke again: "The literary spirit that descended from heaven arose because of you. It's not just me, but all the Confucian scholars in the world who have benefited from this can call themselves students in front of you."
If it hadn't been for this literary spirit descending from heaven, perhaps I would still be stuck in the three realms of entry. How could I have reached the level of knowing the sage?
Chen Jingyun is very clear about this. When he practices Confucianism and Taoism, he should keep the word "ritual" in mind.
"this"
Song Zhishu really didn’t know what to say.
Brother Lu Ming also benefited from this at Mingyue Academy before, and he behaved like this afterwards.
He knew that there was nothing wrong with Chen Jingyun's behavior. On the contrary, it showed that the other party was a scholar in the true sense.
In the end, Song Zhishu didn't say anything more, because he would do the same thing if it were him.
The conversation between the two also reached the ears of Lin Cheng and others.
They had known before that Song Zhishu was a Confucian scholar, and his identity was not simple. But from Chen Jingyun's words just now, the three of them couldn't help but focus on Song Zhishu at this moment, and their expressions were even more shocked.
Taihao Sword Sect, Vision of Heaven and Earth, Song Zhishu, this has made them completely understand.
"Fellow Daoist Song is the Song Zhishu of Taihao Sword Sect?"
"The Song Zhishu who caused the strange phenomena in heaven and earth?"
"That Song Zhishu who fought against injustice and defended all the low-level disciples of Taihao Sword Sect?"
The three of them each said one sentence, their voices rising continuously, from shock at the beginning to sincere admiration at the end.
No wonder a token can enter the city lord's mansion, and no wonder the city lord is so polite.
Lin Cheng looked at Zhishu Song, his eyes filled with astonishment and a trace of disbelief. They guessed that Zhishu Song's identity came from a sect of aristocratic family, but they never thought that that sect was actually Taihao Sword Sect, one of the three major sects in the world.
One of the sword sects.
"Three fellow Taoists also know about me?" Song Zhishu was a little confused after hearing what they said.
That time triggered a vision of heaven and earth. He knew that he might make a big fuss and many people would know about it.
But he never thought that even casual cultivators knew about it and knew about beating drums to complain about grievances. Song Zhishu was naturally surprised.
"Absolutely. Taihao Sword Sect Song Zhishu suffered injustice, went to the law enforcement hall angrily, beat the drum of grievance, and denounced the restructuring. These things have been spread for a long time. Although we are casual cultivators, we have heard many details."
Lin Cheng spoke with excitement in his words, especially the look he looked at Song Zhishu with reverence.
If he only respected Song Zhishu based on his strength before, now he admires him from the bottom of his heart.
As a handyman disciple, he had the courage to fight against the upper echelons of the Taihao Sword Sect.
How many people in this world can do such an act?
Wang Chong and Li Xiansong didn't know what to say. They thought that one day they would be able to slay demons with Taihao Sword Sect Song Zhishu, and if they spoke about it in the future, they would definitely arouse the envy of many people.
"Fellow Daoist Lin is so complimentary."
However, Song Zhishu never thought that he actually had such a reputation outside. He slightly raised his hand and said: "There is no Taihao Sword Sect Song Zhishu. Like several Taoist friends, I am just a casual practitioner of Song Zhishu."
I have already chosen to leave the Taihao Sword Sect, so of course I can no longer use this name and say that there is no problem with being a casual cultivator.
The reason why I took out the sword order before was because it was a matter of demons and I couldn't be careless. It was also a helpless move.
"Fellow Daoist Song is humble."
Lin Cheng returned the gift immediately, feeling somewhat flattered.
At the same time, I admired the Song Zhishu in front of me even more. Even if his identity was known, he still had the same sense of distance as before.
The other two people also slightly handed over. Now they really can't treat her as normal as they did before.
Song Zhishu understood that this matter could not be bypassed, so he immediately changed the subject: "The most important thing now is about the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array left by the demon. I think something big may happen in the near future, and City Lord Qiu will also
Learn something more from us.”
"So we'd better not leave in the near future. In addition to ensuring our own safety, the other thing is to improve our strength as much as possible."
The power of demons, whether it was Song Zhishu or everyone else present, heard about it from others or elders.
No one has ever seen a real demon, but they all know the danger in it.
Otherwise, even a figure like the Lord of Qingzhou City would not react like that.
"We understand. Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Song. If you have any ideas in the future, you must seek Fellow Daoist Song's opinion." Lin Cheng nodded immediately, as if he had regarded Governor Song as the leader. When deciding what to do, he should first listen to the other party's opinion.
"The same goes for us." Wang Chong, Li Xiansong and others nodded, agreeing very much with this.
This is the effect of fame.
"Mr. Song."
Chen Jingyun spoke up, slightly cupped his hands, and then said: "Mr. Song's recitation of the Way of the University contains the principles of a gentleman. All the Confucian disciples in Qingzhou Academy admire you very much. If there is a chance, I hope that Mr. Song can come to our Qingzhou Academy."
Once I go there, I think the tutor and the gentlemen from the academy will sweep the couch to welcome me."
Before, he wanted to discuss some Confucian principles with Song Zhishu, but now it was different and he wanted to invite him to Qingzhou Academy.
The way of the university has aroused the sound of heaven and earth, and many Confucian scholars are painstakingly studying its principles.
If we could invite Song Zhishu to Qingzhou Academy, it would definitely arouse a strong reaction.
As for Teacher Chen Jingyun, he is the dean of Qingzhou Academy.
"must."
When Song Zhishu heard this, he understood that it was difficult to refuse such kindness, so he nodded in agreement.
Especially since I also have the idea in my heart to visit some academies to see how they are different from Mingyue Academy, which can be regarded as a kind of knowledge and practice.
"Thank you, Mr. Song." After receiving the answer, Chen Jingyun expressed joy and bowed again.
"Well, we are still at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. If there is anything else, we can discuss it in detail when we go back." Song Zhishu said, feeling that it would not be good to stand in front of a large audience and talk, especially in the City Lord's Mansion, which would attract attention.
"That's right, let's go back first." Lin Cheng and the others had just come to their senses. They had been so excited that they had forgotten where they were.
Immediately, a few people stopped talking and walked quickly towards the inn.
Song Zhishu was helpless, knowing that there might be a lot of things to explain today, but it didn't matter, he just happened to have some things to explain clearly.
At the same time, in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Brother Qiu, what is going on? Why is the Heaven Sealing Demonic Formation found in Qingzhou?" Master Mo waited for Zhishu Song and others to leave, and became confused. After all, this matter was too important to ignore.
"I don't know. It's clear that demons appeared in Jinzhou, but the Sealing Demon Array is in the Qingyun Mountains."
Qingzhou City Lord Qiu Qianhe also frowned and couldn't understand this. Finally he could only say: "It's a very important matter. Brother Mo, I can only ask you to lead a team to Yuhua Mountain to find traces of the Heaven Sealing Demon Array. I will do the same."
Go and inform the Taihao Sword Sect that the demon is treacherous and the Tiansheng Sect is leading the way. This matter is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. With my place in Qingzhou, if a problem occurs then, we will definitely not be able to stop it."
Ever since the last battle in Beizhou, when an earth demon escaped in chaos, all the famous families in the world have been looking for traces of the demon, but nothing has been found.
Until finally, a demon appeared in Jinzhou, attracting most of the attention, and all the major immortal sects sent people to investigate the situation.
Even Qiu Qianhe was called by the Taihao Sword Sect to contribute, but he never thought that something had happened in Qingzhou just after communicating with the major forces in the city, and Qingzhou was closest to the Taihao Sword Sect, so he felt the need to inform
.
Because if there really is a demon, he cannot deal with it with his own strength. The only way is for Taihao Sword Sect to send out strong men.
But Qiu Qianhe still didn't understand what the demon and the Tiansheng Sect were planning.
All I can say is to investigate clearly first and then react.
"In this time of demons and demons, it is our duty as monks. Don't worry, brother Qiu, I will definitely find out." Master Mo spoke and nodded in agreement without hesitation. In fact, even if Qiu Qianhe hadn't spoken, he would have gone to find out.
The last battle in Beizhou resulted in heavy losses but failed to stop the demons, allowing them to sneak into the interior. If not dealt with in time, it would cause a catastrophe.
"Thank you so much, Brother Mo." Hearing this, Qiu Qianhe slightly cupped his hands in gratitude.
Immediately, the two chatted for a few more words and then went their separate ways.
Qiu Qianhe not only wanted to notify Taihao Sword Sect, but also the Great Zhou Dynasty, because he had a suspicion in his mind that the incident in Jinzhou was just a plan of the demon, and the real target was not Jinzhou.
If this is the case, doing this is to prepare for a rainy day, and even follow the clues to find an earth demon.
However, as it has not yet been confirmed, it is not appropriate to make any announcements for the time being, for fear of causing commotion.
Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion remains the same as usual, with no changes.
Late at night, the stars are shining brightly.
In a guest room of Yunlingzhai.
Lin Cheng and others had already left, and they chatted a lot, of course, all about Song Zhishu. Song Zhishu also knew about it. Because of the incident at the Law Enforcement Hall, more people in the world know about him than imagined.
In particular, his actions in angering against injustice not only won the support of the disciples at the lower level, but more importantly, they were also recognized by many casual cultivators.
The reason is very simple. Song Zhishu works for the bottom of Taihao Sword Sect, and the situation of these people is not much better than that of casual cultivators.
Injustice happens everywhere, but not many people dare to speak out.
This also allowed him to gain fame among casual cultivators.
The way of the university is even more remarkable, causing the heaven and earth to descend from the literary realm, which benefits scholars below the level of a gentleman, and some people use it to break through to the realm of Confucianism.
These are things Song Zhishu never thought of. No wonder Mr. Gu Yun and Mr. Wenyuan both said that scholars all over the world should thank themselves.
Of course, before they left, Song Zhishu also hoped that Lin Cheng and the others would not spread the word.
As I said before, I am just a casual cultivator now.
There is no need to borrow the name of Taihao Sword Sect anymore.
As for other things, Song Zhishu didn't take it to heart because everything was done unintentionally.
Although Lin Cheng and others did not understand this, they nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Song Zhishu was sitting cross-legged in meditation with his eyes slightly closed. Wisps of spiritual energy from heaven and earth emerged around him. All distracting thoughts were cleared away. The mana in the spiritual pool continued to vibrate, but it had reached its limit and could no longer grow.
After a long time, Song Zhishu opened his eyes and stopped meditating.
Then he cast his gaze on the table not far away, where a storage bag was placed.
That was after Lin Cheng and others left, he went to Wanshi Pavilion and exchanged all 70,000 spirit stones for Lingyuan Pills, a total of 700.
"If I want to break through to the late stage of foundation building, it will definitely not work with only 700 Lingyuan Pills. I need more. But right now, it is best not to go out and slay demons at will. The appearance of the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array means that the hands of the demons may have reached Qingzhou.
Something big can happen at any time.”
Song Zhishu pondered deeply and understood that the demon was not that easy to deal with. The Qingzhou Mountains might not be safe now, so it would be best to stay in the city.
Furthermore, I won’t be far away from breaking through to the late stage of foundation building, and earning spiritual stones through engraving jade is enough.
"The Heaven-Sealing Demon Array left by demons was found in the Qingyun Mountains. But judging from the conversation between City Lord Qiu and Master Mo, it seems that something happened over there in Jinzhou. So why is this?"
Thinking of monsters, Song Zhishu couldn't help but recall what he heard at the City Lord's Mansion today.
It turns out that something happened not only in Qingzhou but also in Jinzhou.
Jinzhou is located in the hinterland of the Zhou Dynasty, tens of thousands of miles away from Qingzhou. Demons are found in both places. Is there any connection?
Song Zhishu couldn't figure it out because he knew too little information, but no matter what, there was one thing. The demon's trouble had arisen, and he couldn't do anything. The most important thing was to improve his strength.
After thinking for a moment, he took a deep breath and planned to refine all the Lingyuan Pills in front of him.
Maybe something big will happen soon, but before that, having more strength will give you more means to protect yourself.
Immediately, Song Zhishu did not hesitate, took out the Lingyuan Pill from the storage bag, and started the drug upgrading journey again.
But now he has more than thirty righteousness in his body, so the speed of refining Lingyuan Pills is faster than before. It can be maintained at about thirty pills a day, but it will take nearly a month to refine all the Lingyuan Pills.
.
In this way, time passes bit by bit.
During this period, many people discovered that Qingzhou City was different from before.
The first is the Wanshi Pavilion. There are fewer and fewer tasks related to the Qingyun Mountains, and most of them are not dangerous.
Then the city lord's palace issued an order that everyone coming and going in the city, regardless of monks or mortals, must undergo extremely strict inspections. They even asked scholars from Qingzhou Academy to help, which many casual cultivators did not understand.
Furthermore, many people discovered that there were more and more powerful auras in the city, and the guards were stricter than before.
But other than that, there were no other changes, and many people's lives continued as usual.
Of course, Song Zhishu didn't know much about these things and had been practicing in seclusion.
After the seven hundred Lingyuan Pills were refined, his cultivation was stronger than before, and he was not far from the late stage of foundation building. Moreover, with time remaining, Song Zhishu did not take any time off, carving jade and using the sky at the same time.
The thunder bottle tempers the physical body so that the body can keep up with the speed of cultivation.
During this period, Lin Cheng and others did not come to disturb them, and they must have been improving their cultivation and strengthening their strength.
Because Song Zhishu had previously told them not to go out as much as possible during this period.
We will make plans after there is official news from the City Lord's Mansion.
Of course a few people understand, because they are among the few people who know the Heaven Sealing Demonic Array, and they will not choose to mess around.
Moreover, according to Song Zhishu's estimation, the harvest from the last trip to Yuhua Mountain should be enough for them to use for a while.
And exactly one and a half months later.
Lin Cheng and others finally showed up to visit.
Yunlingzhai, in the guest room.
Four figures sat down together, each with a cup of spiritual tea placed in front of them.
"It seems that the three fellow Taoists have gained a lot this month." Song Zhishu sat at the front, looking at everyone, with a smile on his face.
Lin Cheng in front of him had a strong aura and powerful mana. He was almost in the middle stage of foundation building. He even changed his clothes, especially the confidence in his eyes. As for Wang Chong and Li Xiansong, they actually directly built the foundation during this period.
Success, the strength has increased a lot.
They had not seen each other for a month, but the three of them were no longer what they used to be. Song Zhishu was naturally happy for them.
"It all depends on you, Fellow Daoist Song. If you hadn't taken action on Yuhua Mountain, how would the three of us be where we are today?"
Lin Cheng smiled, then took out a storage bag from his sleeve, and said again: "There are thirty thousand spirit stones in it. We should regard it as a thank you from the rest of us. Fellow Daoist Wangsong, please don't refuse."
"Yes, this is our intention. Fellow Daoist Song must be my subordinate." Li Xiansong, who was next to him, also spoke.
On Yuhua Mountain, they encountered a monster in the late stage of foundation building. Without Song Zhishu, the three of them could not return.
In addition, because of that harvest, their strength has been greatly improved.
So in their eyes, they must be grateful to Song Zhishu.
This was what the three of them had thought of before, and they just kept it in their hearts because they didn't have many spiritual stones at that time.
"Isn't this inappropriate? Thirty thousand spirit stones are too many." Although Song Zhishu also lacked spirit stones, he also knew the situation of the three of them. They were just casual cultivators. After taking out these, he was afraid that he would not have much left.
"Fellow Daoist Song, although we are casual cultivators, we also know what to do. The trip to Yuhua Mountain is considered official business, but you came to rescue us at the critical moment. This is a kindness. We didn't have many spiritual stones before, but now that we have them, we should take them.
Take it out and say thank you.”
Lin Cheng spoke in a serious tone: "Fellow Daoist Song has not been out recently, so I don't know. Wanshi Pavilion has recently released some tasks, and the rewards are very generous. We have not only been practicing for more than a month, but we have also completed several tasks, so you
There is no need to refuse."
"Going out to do a mission?" Hearing this, Song Zhishu frowned. He had explained it before, but he didn't expect that the three of them still didn't listen.
"Fellow Daoist Song, please listen to our explanation first."
Li Xiansong was careful and spoke immediately: "The tasks issued by Wanshi Pavilion are basically in the city, so the danger is not very great. We listened to your words and did not leave the city."
This sentence made Song Zhishu even more confused, and he couldn't help but say: "I probably know a little about the tasks in the city. Although they are not dangerous, they will not bring much income."
The total cost of the three of them was 30,000 spirit stones. Even if there were some leftover from last time, it was still a huge amount.
But judging from their looks, they didn't really care. Song Zhishu naturally didn't understand.
"We don't know the specific reason. The Wanshi Pavilion made an announcement half a month ago, which directly increased a large amount of rewards. Now many casual cultivators in the city have begun to rush for tasks." Lin Cheng opened his mouth and explained the reason, saying that Wanshi Pavilion
The reward has been increased a lot, but I don't understand why.
Of course, these are not very important to casual cultivators like them. What is important is that they can bring in a lot of income.
Lin Cheng and the others were able to produce 10,000 spirit stones each because of this.
Increase mission rewards.
Why is this move a bit like the previous Sword Sect restructuring?
After Song Zhishu heard this, he frowned slightly and immediately asked again: "Is there any movement in the City Lord's Mansion?"
The City Lord's Mansion is in charge of a city, so such a change must be related to it. Since he left where he left last time, City Lord Qiu has never looked for them again. This is strange, so he wants to know more news.
"Not really."
Lin Cheng thought for a moment and then said: "But Fellow Daoist Song, we found that many monks have come to Qingzhou City recently, and most of them are not casual monks. They are from sects and aristocratic families. You can meet them on the road.
There are even a lot of uncommon monks in the Core Formation Realm, which is very strange. We have been living in Qingzhou City for a while, but we have never encountered them."
"Yes, and the defense in the city has been strengthened. You have to identify yourself when entering or leaving. So the three of us speculated whether this might have something to do with the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array we encountered last time."
Li Xian opened his mouth and spoke out what the three of them were thinking.
After all, this series of things happened very suddenly, and there was no warning before.
"I'm afraid something is really going to happen."
After Song Zhishu heard this, his expression suddenly changed slightly: "The defenses are being strengthened, and the disciples of the aristocratic family have entered. I think City Lord Qiu may have a premonition that something will happen, or maybe it is not a premonition, but it has already happened."
As soon as these words came out, the three people present were shocked. Before, they were just guessing, but because there was no reliable source of information, they were not sure. Now when they heard Song Zhishu speak, they finally believed that something might really happen, and
The reason lies in the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Formation Stone that several people discovered before.
Song Zhishu looked at the three of them, thought for a moment and then spoke again: "Based on the current situation, I believe there may be some movement in the City Lord's Mansion before too long, and it will be quite big. By then we may have to face the demon directly."
My guess is actually well-founded. Wanshi Pavilion does business and will not increase task rewards for no reason.
Therefore, it is very likely that they want to increase the strength of some monks in the city in a short period of time.
In this way, when it comes to dealing with demons in the future, we will have more power. At the same time, the major aristocratic families and sects will also send people here, in order to increase the power of Qingzhou City, just like the Taihao Sword.
Zong, Beizhou demons were in turmoil, and related tasks were also released.
That's why Song Zhishu made such a guess, because apart from demons, Qingzhou City would not see such big changes.
"Face the monster?"
When the three of them heard this, their expressions suddenly changed slightly.
They have been practicing for decades and have seen many monsters, but they have never been in contact with demons.
For a few people, demons are scary, but they have no idea how scary they are. It is an unknown fear.
"So, Fellow Daoist Song, should we leave Qingzhou first?" Wang Chong said. Since he knew something big might happen, the best choice now is to temporarily leave Qingzhou, a place of right and wrong.
After all, I am just a little foundation-building monk, and I will leave as soon as I leave, and I will not hide the overall situation.
Lin Cheng also fell silent. He found that the Sealing Demon Array was nothing before, but he might have to face the demon directly later, so he was naturally worried.
"I'm afraid it's too late. The upper levels of Qingzhou have already made arrangements. Obviously the situation may be a bit serious."
Song Zhishu shook his head slightly. If this were not the case, it would be impossible for City Master Qiu not to reveal any information, not to mention that there are people from various sects and families coming here, definitely to accumulate more power to fight against the monsters.
As for the thoughts of the three people, Song Zhishu was clear, so he spoke again: "As for whether to leave or not, you make your own decision, but I must stay. In this time of troubled demons, it is my duty as a human monk to leave today. Who will
Can you guarantee that there will be no escape next time?”
He expressed his attitude because he was really curious about demons and wanted to know more about them. After all, the world would be in chaos no matter what happened after Jiazi. It was better to understand it in advance so that he could have experience in dealing with crises in the future.
Of course, Song Zhishu did not give them any advice, but let them make their own choices.
Even if you decide to leave, it's okay, it's human nature.
"Fellow Daoist Song is right. In times of troubled times, you may be able to survive by just leaving, but what about next time? So I want to stay." Silent Lin Cheng spoke, very seriously, saying that he would not leave. He didn't know that he was like this.
What you do is not the right thing to do, but your rationality tells you that you should stay.
"We are the same. Even if we can't do anything, we still have to do our best." Wang Chong and Li Xiansong also decided.
The three of them have known each other for more than ten years, and since one of them is staying, they shouldn't leave.
Monsters are scary, but what's even more scary is when people lose their friendship.
Seeing them making a decision with solemn looks on their faces, Song Zhishu smiled: "You don't have to worry too much. If there are really powerful demons, there will naturally be powerful monks to resist them. When we are needed, they shouldn't be too worried.
It would be dangerous."
When the sky falls, a tall man holds it up.
The higher-ups are not saying that they will let the lower-level monks die. Firstly, it is unnecessary, and secondly, it will not change the situation.
This can be seen from the various major sect families coming to Qingzhou City.
"Fellow Daoist Song is right."
Lin Cheng nodded, agreeing with this point of view.
Then the three of them chatted for a while, and they all said that they wanted to improve their strength as much as possible in a short period of time.
However, before leaving, they still wanted to leave these 30,000 spirit stones and asked Song Zhishu to accept them.
Song Zhishu had no choice but to agree.
Soon, he was the only one left in the room.
Song Zhishu looked at the 30,000 spirit stones in front of him and fell into deep thought: "Something is going to happen after all, but why did this monster choose Qingzhou? The Taihao Sword Sect is twelve thousand miles away. Doing this will not provoke the Taihao Sword Sect.
Anger?"
He was still a little confused about this, so in the end he simply stopped thinking about it and left with the spiritual stone in his hand after thinking for a moment.
No matter what, the most important thing now is to improve your strength, and you have these spiritual stones in your hands.
Song Zhishu believed that he could break through the late stage of foundation building.
The streets of Qingzhou City are very lively and busy with traffic, and everyone is in a hurry.
As Lin Cheng and others said before, there were many more monks than before, and foundation-building monks could be seen everywhere. He even saw some sect disciples coming and going in groups, wearing the same service.
But the streets seemed lively, but somehow there was a sense of depression. It seemed that everyone had something on their mind.
"Looking at this situation, it won't be long before the City Lord's Palace responds."
Song Zhishu pondered, although no specific information has been revealed yet, it is obvious that some monks have had a premonition of something. The reason for hiding the information about the Heaven Sealing Demonic Array was to avoid causing commotion and to plan in secret.
And after more than a month, the City Lord's Palace has probably planned everything and is just waiting for the final announcement.
Or maybe the news has been revealed secretly, allowing some monks in the city to prepare in advance.
Song Zhishu sighed slightly and walked straight towards Wanshi Pavilion without saying anything.
About half an hour later.
In the elegant room of Wanshi Pavilion.
The girl in blue brought a pot of spiritual tea and poured it into the cup: "Song Shangxian, we have already prepared the Spiritual Essence Pills you want. You are a distinguished guest of our Wanshi Pavilion, so we have prepared five hundred Spiritual Essence Pills for you this time.
Yuan Dan.”
"So much?" Song Zhishu was a little surprised when he heard this: "Isn't the price of Lingyuan Pill a hundred spirit stones? Girl in blue, don't tell me it's just because I have a guest card."
Five hundred Lingyuan Pills are equivalent to fifty thousand spirit stones. Wanshi Pavilion cannot lose money by doing this business?
"Where are you talking about Song Shangxian?"
The girl in blue bowed and smiled, and spoke again: "This is decided by the Pavilion Master, and it is only temporary. After this period of time, the price will return to its original state. Of course, Song Shangxian cannot take this opportunity to buy more. I
The Wanshi Pavilion will set a rough number based on each person's cultivation strength, and it will not work if it exceeds it."
The meaning of this sentence is very simple, that is, things in Wanshi Pavilion are indeed cheap, but they will only last for a short period of time.
At the same time, you cannot buy more, otherwise if someone comes out with one million spiritual stones, should you accept it or not?
"Wanshi Pavilion's business is so big, it will definitely not be a loss-making business."
When Song Zhishu heard this, he paused and spoke again: "So there must be a reason for this move. Can the girl in blue tell me something? Of course, I won't force it even if it's inconvenient."
Wanshi Pavilion's actions are too abnormal. They are increasing mission rewards and lowering the prices of elixirs and other essential items for cultivation. How can you do business like this? There must be something fishy in it.
Zhishu Song actually had a rough guess in his mind, but he still wanted to confirm it.
Next to him, the girl in blue lowered her head and hesitated for a while before speaking in a low voice: "Song Shangxian must not leave the city at will recently, and once he leaves the city, he will not come back for a while. To be honest, something big may happen recently. As for more information,
I don’t know much information about it.”
Her voice was very solemn and she said what she knew.
Song Zhishu also understood that the girl in blue might know this. After all, she was just a manager and could not have access to higher-level information.
Immediately, he stood up and slightly cupped his hands: "Thank you for letting me know, miss. I understand."
"Song Shangxian is welcome."
The girl in blue returned the favor. She could speak because Song Zhishu's recent business in Wanshi Pavilion had brought some benefits to herself. In addition, she saw that Zhishu Song was a nice person and had no airs, so she decided to say so.
Next, the two of them didn't speak, making the atmosphere in the private room a bit dull.
Not long after, someone sent five hundred Lingyuan Pills.
After Song Zhishu confirmed that it was correct, he handed it over again and left Wanshi Pavilion.
"It must be a demon, and it must be very serious. The Wanshi Pavilion has directly started a loss-making business. The monks in the city must have received orders to prepare for a rainy day. But who made the decision so that Wanshi Pavilion can obey it?
"
On the way back, Song Zhishu kept thinking and felt that City Lord Qiu would definitely not have such energy.
Although the other party is a monk in the Golden Core Realm, Wanshi Pavilion is not simple either.
Qingzhou is just one of the branches. Even the pavilion master here cannot make such a decision. It must be the big decision of a higher-level powerful person, and even Wanshi Pavilion has to obey it.
He didn't know who made this decision, but he had a feeling of déjà vu.
soon.
Song Zhishu returned to the inn, but did not directly enter the room and observed carefully.
In the end, it was discovered that Yunlingzhai was already overcrowded, and there seemed to be people in the rooms. The monks coming in and out were all of good strength, and some of them were in the realm of pill formation. But other than that, no other news was heard.
Song Zhishu confirmed that a demon must have appeared in Qingzhou, and it must be serious.
"Forget it, maybe you'll know after a while."
Song Zhishu took a deep breath and understood that this kind of thing would never be kept secret for too long. He couldn't guess anything by himself, so he walked directly into the room.
He placed the five hundred Lingyuan Pills he bought today on the table, but did not choose to refine them immediately.
Instead, take out a pen and paper and write down the mean.
It wasn't until his mind was completely calm and there were no distracting thoughts that he sat up cross-legged.
"Five hundred elixirs, which will take half a month to refine, can help me break through to the late stage of foundation building. I hope nothing happens during this period." Song Zhishu looked at the elixirs in front of him with a very solemn expression.
A breakthrough is imminent. As long as he reaches the later stage of foundation building, his strength will rise to the next level.
By then he would have the confidence to face the demon head on.
After all, he is a perfect qi practitioner. Unlike ordinary people, in the later stage of foundation building, with a series of methods, he can directly compete in the Dan Formation realm.
Did not continue to think.
Song Zhishu once again chose to retreat, refine the Lingyuan Pill, and then break through the realm in one fell swoop.
In this way, the days passed by, and as time passed, the atmosphere in the city seemed to become more depressing.
City Lord's Mansion, in the lobby.
Dozens of figures have gathered here, each one with strong magic power and solemn expression.
Powerful auras gathered towards them, and under the powerful pressure, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to vibrate.
And each of these breaths represents an existence that is at least in the late stage of Jindan. Even Qingzhou City Lord Qiu Qianhe is in the back seat at the moment.
"Everyone, since the time when City Lord Qiu discovered the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array in the Qingyun Mountains, after our inspections, we have discovered dozens more formation stones of the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array. What is certain is that the target of the demon this time is very high.
It might be Qingzhou. What happened in Jinzhou before was just a cover-up used by the demon."
"Not long ago, our Taihao Sword Sect sent people to Qingzhou to prepare to pull out the formation stones in various places, so during this period, we must be careful to prevent the demons from causing trouble."
In the crowd, an old man spoke and looked at the crowd with a solemn voice. This old man was none other than the Lord of Mingyue City of the Taihao Sword Sect, Wang Ping'an.
He represented the Taihao Sword Sect and came to Qingzhou City to deal with demons. Of course, Wang Ping'an was not the only one.
Other elders and disciples of Taihao Sword Sect are also on their way.
"Brother Ping'an has made it very clear. I believe you all know the seriousness of the matter. During the process of removing the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Formation Stones, the Heavenly Saints and demons may come out to cause trouble. Although I, the Jinyi Heavenly Guard, have already taken action, I don't want to
It’s still a bit difficult to do everything down to the smallest detail.”
At this time, another middle-aged man walked out. He was wearing a black brocade official uniform, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He is the commander of the Jinyi Tianwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the existence of the Jinyi Tianwei is specifically to deal with demon incidents.
"Master Fu, please rest assured. The Wanshi Pavilion will also issue some tasks related to demons. Please help. There are so many monks in the city now. Even if they can't handle it, they can at least contain it." The master of the Wanshi Pavilion said, this was what he had done before.
It's been decided.
In the lobby, people from other sects and aristocratic families also spoke up, asking their disciples to cooperate with the Jinyi Tianwei and Wanshi Pavilion.
Because the demons are of great importance, and they directly used the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array, no one will take it lightly.
"Okay, then I'll leave everything to you."
Mingyue Elder Wang Pingan pressed his hands and continued: "I hope we can work together this time to deal with the demonic enemy."
"yes."
Everyone spoke and bowed, very respectfully.
This scene was directed by Master Fu, but he did not speak.
Because the people present, except for the Jinyi Heavenly Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all other forces came here following the call of the Taihao Sword Sect.
"Report."
At this time, a monk walked in, bowed and said: "Reporting to the city lord, seniors and lords, everything is ready."
This sentence made Wang Pingan and everyone look at each other, and then nodded slightly. Then Wang Pingan walked to Qingzhou City Lord Qiu Qianhe and said slowly: "Qiu City Lord, you can start."
Hearing this, Qiu Qianhe nodded. He had been preparing for so long, and now it was time to counterattack.
at the same time.
Yunlingzhai, in a guest room.
The magic power around Song Zhishu's body continued to surge, emitting rays of light, creating illusions and disillusions.
In the house, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth turned into a storm, making a roaring sound like small thunder explosions.
In Song Zhishu's body, the magic power has been accumulated to the extreme, and the eighteen-inch spiritual pool vibrates, revealing wisps of strong power.
at some point.
Under the influx of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, the spiritual pool began to change and expand, eventually reaching a size of twenty-seven inches. A more powerful and majestic power roamed through every piece of flesh and blood and limbs of Song Zhishu.
"Breakthrough, late stage of foundation building."
Song Zhishu felt the powerful force in his body, and immediately opened his eyes, and a ray of light flashed across his body.
Although he only broke through a small realm, he was able to discover his own strength, which improved by more than one level and was several times stronger than the mid-level foundation building stage.
"After spending three hundred Lingyuan Pills, it was finally not in vain."
Song Zhishu clenched his fist slightly, his magic power flowing, and he was very satisfied with the enhanced strength after his breakthrough.
It's a pity that if you want to achieve the perfect foundation building in the next step, it is estimated that you will need at least three thousand Lingyuan Pills. This number makes him shake his head. The more resources he needs to reach the end, the more resources he needs, which is almost beyond imagination.
Already.
Without thinking much, Song Zhishu stood up, stretched his muscles, and got used to the power of the later stage of foundation building.
After stopping to clean up the room, I continued to read the article and memorize the meaning of moderation.
But there was a knock on the door.
"Fellow Daoist Song."
It was the voices of Lin Cheng and others.
Seeing this, Zhishu Song immediately walked forward and opened the door, ready to speak, but saw Lin Cheng and the other two people looked anxious. When they saw Zhishu Song, they didn't even have time to salute, so they spoke directly: "Fellow Daoist Song is in trouble, Qingzhou City.
