Xu Zhiqiong left Jiuniang's inn, and not long after getting on the carriage, when he looked back, he saw that the inn had disappeared.
Qianniang was shocked and asked Xu Zhiqiong: "What is the origin of this inn?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled calmly and could not answer.
Chaos said: "That's the Star Palace."
Star Palace?
Qianniang took a breath, the concept of star palace was too far away from her. Although famous people had many star officials in their heyday, to Qianniang, those star officials were just illusory concepts and not reality.
real existence.
But Xu Zhiqiong is not far from the Star Palace.
He has been to the star palace where the evil star remains, he has been to the star palace where Taibu has not yet been completed, he just saw Jiuniang's star palace, and he often goes to the master's star palace.
But these are not the point. The point is that Xu Zhiqiong is about to be promoted to the second rank. What does his own star palace look like?
Is this star palace prepared by the Taoist sect, or do you have to find a way to find it yourself?
Wouldn't it be like a divination, praying for a star palace and then hiding somewhere?
Forget it, let’s not think about this first, first think about how to hand Chaos and Qiongqi into the master’s hands.
Jiuniang said that she can meet the master within a short distance, but she should ask more carefully. If it is not far, how far is it?
The relationship between Chaos and Qiongqi is becoming more and more harmonious. If he doesn't want to kill Qiongqi, Qiongqi can escape at any time.
The heavy rain had just stopped, and the spring was cold. Huan Chaos casually picked some branches and leaves from the trees, woven them into a coat, and put it on Qiongqi.
"Be careful of catching a cold."
Qiongqi threw his coat on Chaos and cursed: "I'll trap you to death!"
It was getting late. Chaos caught a sambar deer and roasted it. He left all the meat to Qiongqi. Qiongqi threw the meat on Chaos' face and sternly cursed: "I'll trap you to death!"
That night, Chaos found some big trees and built a wooden house.
The wooden house still has three rooms, one for Xu Zhiqiong and Qianniang, and one for Qiongqi and Huan Chaos. Qiongqi's room is decorated with various mountain flowers.
Qiongqi tore off all the mountain flowers and cursed through the wall: "When I recover, I will trap you first!"
At dawn the next day, everyone got on the carriage. Chaos turned around and said to Xu Zhiqiong: "Go to the boat and save people. I will teach you the magic circle. You can go alone. I won't let you go, so you can take it with you."
If she leaves, it doesn’t matter if you don’t take her with you, I won’t harm her.”
While speaking, Huan Chao looked at Qiong Qi.
Qiongqi looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "If you want to go back to the ship, I can't stop you, but I'll explain the truth first.
Don't be deceived by his methods. As long as you leave the magic circle, I will definitely die. You weigh the pros and cons yourself."
Chaos sighed: "I really don't want to kill you right now."
Qiongqi spat: "I'm going to trap you to death!"
Qianniang looked at Xu Zhiqiong and whispered softly: "Xu Lang, the princess and Miss Tao are both on the boat, and Miss Yuchi is also on the boat. It's better to go back and take a look."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "It's time to go back and take a look, but the journey is too far, and there is a sea in the middle..."
Huan Chaos said: "Don't tell me, I will teach you the formation."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to learn your unique formation."
Chaos said expressionlessly: "Since I personally taught it, how could you not learn it?"
Xu Zhiqiong can use the power of imagery to simulate chaotic energy and can also use many chaotic techniques, but he has never been able to learn the chaotic teleportation circle.
He had studied seriously with Fu Ji, and had some advice from He Fang, but neither of them could explain the essence of the formation, and Xu Zhiqiong had to figure it out on his own.
Xu Zhiqiong groped for a long time and found that the essence of the formations of the two men was completely different. There was no similarity in the use of Qi machines or the order of formation. The only similarity was that they both used candles.
Chaos stopped the carriage, took a big tree, built a wooden house beside the path, and took Xu Zhiqiong inside.
The secret of chaos cannot be told or heard.
With Xu Zhiqiong's current status, it would be okay to listen to a few words, but Qian Niang could not hear a word.
She sat in the carriage and remained silent.
Qiongqi looked at Qianniang, the corners of his eyes drooping slightly.
He just left this woman alone in front of me?
He is not afraid that I will arrest this woman!
Is the silver bell on this woman's body?
Thoughts turned around, Qiongqi did not take action after all.
If something happens to Qian Niang, Xu Zhiqiong will definitely give up the agreement with Chaos.
Without the limit of five hundred steps, Chaos could attack Qiongqi at any time.
As for Chaos saying that he would not kill Qiongqi, Qiongqi would not believe a word of this.
Not long after, Xu Zhiqiong walked out of the wooden house.
Chaos said expressionlessly: "You only learned the skills of the magic circle, but you didn't learn the foundation of my Taoism. Without the Qi of the Tao of Impermanence, how can you use the magic circle?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "Impermanence Dao Qi is too difficult to control, but with my talent, I can't learn it."
Qiongqi burst out laughing when he heard this, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Let Xu Zhiqiong learn the skills of the magic circle, and he will be able to use the magic circle. He has all kinds of natural skills, and Qi movement is not a problem at all.
He doesn't want to learn the Qi of the Tao of Impermanence, because he doesn't want to enter the gate of the Tao of Impermanence under the temptation of chaos.
The example of Liang Xiaoen is before us. When he entered the magistrate's way, he would always be under Xue Yun's supervision.
If Xu Zhiqiong enters the Tao of Impermanence, he will probably be under the supervision of Chaos.
Chaos shook his head slightly and said: "It seems that you don't plan to return to the ship. This is good. Your cultivation will be almost above that of the mortal world, and there will be less ties to the mortal world, but there is no harm in it."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "Tie-downs are inevitable after all. I am thinking about all the lives on board."
Chaos couldn't explain: "Since you are thinking about them, why don't you save them? Just because you can't trust me?"
"That's not true, it's because they don't need me to make this trip." Xu Zhiqiong took out a cloth bag from his arms and took out Ye Ansheng's head.
Chaos and Qiongqi stared at the head for a moment.
Based on their status, it is obvious that this head is real.
Ye Ansheng is dead.
Chaos was speechless for a long time.
Qiongqi laughed out loud.
Chaos looked at Qiongqi and said, "Why are you smiling?"
Qiongqi smiled and said, "I'm laughing at you for letting him trap you in vain."
Xu Zhiqiong touched Qianniang's conscience and expressed that she did not understand what they were talking about.
Chaos drove the carriage and continued to travel through the rugged mountain roads.
As dusk approached, Chaos pulled back the reins and stopped driving the carriages and building no houses.
Qiongqi looked at Chaos and said, "If you want to take action, do it now, otherwise you will never have a chance again."
Chaos shook his head and said: "It's not up to you whether you have the chance or not. Maybe I'll take care of both of you."
Cleaned up both of you?
Xu Zhiqiong was shocked, does Chaos refer to me and Qiongqi?
He no longer wants to keep the agreement?
Xu Zhiqiong quickly prepared for battle, and suddenly felt that the power of imagery was touched.
After getting off the carriage and following his perception through a dense jungle, Xu Zhiqiong saw his master sitting under a tree, holding two legs of lamb and fasting.
"Come, have a drink with me, master." The master took out a leg of lamb and a jar of wine.
Xu Zhiqiong reminded: "Master, we have guests."
"Tell the two guests to have a drink together." The master took out two legs of lamb and two jars of wine.
"Master, and..." Xu Zhiqiong looked at Qianniang.
The master didn’t mind: “Ask that little pump girl to come over and have a drink too!”
There was a jar of wine for each person and a leg of lamb for each person. Everyone immersed themselves in eating and drinking without talking.
After he had eaten and drank enough, Master looked at Xu Zhiqiong, his face full of joy.
Xu Zhiqiong completed a task far beyond his ability, and passed the test along the way, without violating the Taoism's original intention.
"Go to that senior and tell him that the time has come, and he will definitely help you."
The master said something without beginning or end, but Xu Zhiqiong could understand it clearly.
He asked Xu Zhiqiong to find the senior, referring to Wu Si.
He said the time has come, referring to Xu Zhiqiong's upcoming promotion to star officer.
Xu Zhiqiong bowed deeply to his master.
Master looked at Xu Zhiqiong and couldn't help but smile. The deep joy almost penetrated the wrinkles on his face.
Qiongqi sighed: "Old Taoist, congratulations, your Taoist sect has a cultivator who is above the mortal world!"
"Yes, yes!" Liu Xun nodded repeatedly and said to Xu Zhiqiong: "After the matter is completed, I will come to see you as my teacher. You should go as soon as possible."
Xu Zhiqiong saluted again and took Qianniang out of the jungle.
Above the mundane world.
I'm above the mortal world!
Ever since then!
Ever since the day I became a lantern bearer, I have fantasized about immortality, but today it has come true.
Is it really true?
Xu Zhiqiong stretched out his hands and looked at his skin.
Nothing seems to have changed.
He opened his clothes and looked at his chest.
Nothing seems to have changed.
Have you really reached the mundane world?
Xu Zhiqiong couldn't express his feelings, the excitement, nervousness and doubt.
There are definitely changes, and we have to look at them as a whole.
Take out the latent light mirror and take a look at yourself.
The latent light mirror is too small and can't pick up any clues.
Xu Zhiqiong found a pothole in the jungle.
He stood in front of the pothole, calmed down his thoughts, stretched his meridians, and peed with a calm and peaceful mind.
Pee in the potholes.
Facing the reflection in the pothole, Xu Zhiqiong looked at himself carefully.
He has become handsome, obviously handsome!
In the reflection, Xu Zhiqiong saw his otherworldly charm and aura.
Qianniang held her forehead, seemingly unable to stand steady.
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and supported her: "Qianniang, don't keep staring at me like this in the future."
"I, I didn't..." Qianniang didn't know how to explain. She didn't stare at Xu Zhiqiong all the time.
Just now when she heard the old man talking about being above the mundane world, Qianniang felt a little dizzy.
Xu Zhiqiong helped Qianniang get on the carriage, and used the power of imagery to help Qianniang calm the abnormal movements of her meridians, and Qianniang gradually calmed down.
"Xu Lang, did you get off the carriage just now?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded.
"When I got off the carriage, I seemed to see an old man?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "That's my master."
Qianniang was shocked and said: "It's Xu Lang's master... I, am I lacking in etiquette?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "The etiquette is correct, Master is very satisfied."
"Are you really satisfied?" Qianniang lowered her head and bit her lip, "I couldn't remember what Master just said..."
It's not that she can't remember, it's that Qianniang couldn't hear or understand Liu Xun's words about things that were above the mortal world. This was something she was not capable of understanding.
Ignore him for now, Xu Zhiqiong caressed Qianniang's cheek and said, "I'm going to be away for a few days. Let's do serious things tonight."
Qianniang trembled for a while, Xu Zhiqiong was serious this time.
In this wilderness?
On this carriage?
That's not right.
But since Master is satisfied, maybe there is nothing wrong...
Qianniang was a little flustered and said in a trembling voice: "Xu Lang, let me wash away..."
"There's no need to wash it. This whole night is neither short nor long, so why bother with these trivial things!"
Qianniang took a deep breath and said, "Does it take all night?"
"One whole night is not enough!" Xu Zhiqiong opened his backpack and took out the famous classics that Qianniang had copied.
"Let's talk about techniques first, and then talk about classics. The nine-level technique of famous masters is actually called seeking theory, which means searching for axioms. If you look at this classic, it is a model of seeking theory..."
Qianniang blinked her eyes, looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Xu Lang, is this a serious matter?"
Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "This is not serious, what else is serious?"
…
In the Xingxiu Corridor, Chaos, Qiongqi and Liu Xun were sitting in the main hall together.
Liu Xun poured a glass of wine for each of them.
Chaos drank in one gulp.
Qiongqi smiled slightly and said, "Is this considered a decapitation drink?"
Chaos looked at Liu Xun, then looked at Qiongqi: "This old man can't cut off my head, but I want to cut off your head. You are already more than five hundred steps away from Xu Zhiqiong!"
Qiongqi smiled and said, "We have come to this point, and you still care about this matter?"
"Why don't you care?" Huan Chaos stood up and said, "You opened seven holes in my body, and I only opened one for you. If you let me open all seven holes, our matter will be settled.
"
Qiongqi sneered and said, "You're dreaming."
"In that case, there is no need to say more, I will destroy your soul." After saying that, Chaos showed a smile with five curves.
Liu Xun drank the wine in his glass and poured himself another glass: "I invite you all here today to talk about serious things, not to use weapons."
Chaos ignored Liu Xun and Qiongqi sneered: "Without using weapons? Is it possible that we can talk about truth all night?"
"There's nothing wrong with being reasonable!" Liu Xun smiled, and the power of imagery rolled around.
Qiongqi and Chaos trembled almost at the same time.
"Have you recovered?" Qiongqi looked at Liu Xun carefully.
Chaos said expressionlessly: "Maybe he has recovered."
Liu Xun drank another drink and invited the two of them to sit down: "Ancestor Nu has passed away, and Taotie has surrendered to the master of our Taoist sect. Taotie cannot hold on for long. You two have to make a decision about where to go.
"
Dear readers, Zhi Qiong is about to rise above the mortal world.
