Chapter 92 Demonic disasters are easy to stop, but people’s hearts are hard to guard against
Li Pingan is a little confused.
Her master had obviously put on a white gauze hat to cover up her fair face, but when she walked in the big city, she still attracted many eyes.
He deliberately took two steps behind, looked at his master a few times, and thought carefully...
Thinking about it from his perspective, if he suddenly met a woman in white clothes, white skirt and white bamboo hat on the road, with a tall and slender figure, an extraordinary manner, and a kind of extraordinary feeling that others would not dare to approach, he would really not be able to bear it.
Stay and take a few more looks.
Understand passers-by and become the road...
"What are you looking at? Is it weird that I'm dressed like this?"
Qing Su turned her head to speak, and Li Ping'an immediately stepped forward with a smile on her face, walking side by side with her teacher.
Li Ping'an had nothing to say: "You see, there is a mixture of immortals and mortals here, and most people have more or less magic power in their bodies."
Qingsu nodded slightly and explained: "They are close to the demon clan. They should always hear news about demons harming people, and mortals will also work hard to practice some breathing and breathing methods."
Li Ping'an asked again: "Master, why don't mortals go to the quieter rear?"
"Mortals seldom move around. They will grow up where their parents were born."
Qingsu said softly:
"I heard what your master said about this matter.
"This place is also under the control of ASEAN. A major role of ASEAN is to guide the Qi Refiners of Eastern Continent to come to the southeastern region of Western Continent to expand territory for the human race.
"The city here and those villages should have been expanded in the past thousand years."
Li Pingan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Relying on the power of human Qi Refiners to protect the reproduction of mortals, and then expel all kinds of spiritual creatures, raise poultry and livestock, and gradually erode the basic living space of the demon clan in Xizhou?
If this was done intentionally, then there must be strategic masters in ASEAN.
Li Ping'an looked at various areas in a leisurely manner.
The towns here are different from Dongzhoufang Town.
In Dongzhoufang Town, there is a clear dividing line between the activities of mortals and Qi Refiners, and most of them are divided into upper and lower layers.
In the city of Yongchu where the two masters and apprentices are now, mortals and Qi practitioners are completely mixed. Mortals with no qualifications for cultivation are also equipped with swords and bows. Qi practitioners who are used to flying around will also fall on the roadside.
Take a sip of thirst-quenching tea with mottled spiritual energy in the teahouse.
Dongzhoufang Town has many gorgeous high-rise buildings, many beautifully decorated shops, as well as some service restaurants and brothels.
Most of the places here are low-rise stone buildings, and some service-type entertainment places are mostly an inconspicuous two-story stone building, and then spread underground.
Li Pingan's spiritual sense explored everywhere and found that the place where the power of the formation was strongest was right under their feet.
——This is the best design to prevent sneak attacks from monsters.
"Apprentice," Qingsu asked, "where are we going to exchange things for things?"
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "It's such a small thing for me to do. I'll take you to a restaurant with a better environment and you can try the delicious food here."
Qingsu wanted to stick to her master's attitude, but after thinking about it, she decided to follow her heart.
"Hmm, okay. Usually it's roasted spirit beast meat. I want to have something light."
"Master, please come this way. Disciple has already found a place."
Li Ping'an agreed with a smile and took Qingsu to a popular restaurant in Yongchu City.
He asked his master for a private room on the second floor, and ordered some spiritual grass and spiritual roots as well as the local specialties of 'Meat of the Demon King Braised in Thousand Years Fire', 'Fried Millennium Demon Bear Paws', and 'Little Demon Fei Slices'.
——These are just the names of the dishes. Humans never eat intelligent monsters.
The beauty of cruelty with a little bit of hatred.
Li Ping'an waited for a while to make sure that no one was watching their master and apprentice, and then embarked on the barter-for-bargain journey.
In the past year, the two masters and apprentices have been hiding invisibly, "fighting guerrillas" in a land thousands of miles away.
Li Ping'an is well versed in the tactic of "shooting once and changing places", and retreats once every three shots on average.
The reaction of the demon clan is actually very slow.
Within a radius of 600 miles, there are about 80 demon caves, similar to monster outposts. These demon caves do not usually communicate with each other, and there is no 'joint prevention and early warning mechanism'.
In the previous eight months, their masters and apprentices had been cleaning up the monsters silently. Each time they destroyed the monsters, they destroyed the corpses and wiped out traces, creating the illusion that the monsters here had packed up and left, but the monster clan had never seen through it.
It wasn't until a few old demon visitors noticed something was wrong and started walking around to investigate, that they realized that the demon cave here was being continuously cleaned.
Only then did the monsters know about the peaceful destruction of the monsters.
In the next four months, Li Ping'an and Qing Su only took action twice, destroying two cave monsters. The difficulty of destroying monsters became more and more difficult. There were also big monsters with strength in the Celestial Realm, as well as organized monster soldiers.
——The strangeness here finally attracted the attention of the big demon behind.
Li Ping'an decided to stop here and move to another area to destroy demons and make a fortune;
Although Qingsu still had unfinished ideas, he fully respected his disciple's planning ability.
After they planned to barter here today, they left a letter to ASEAN and then moved to other areas to continue fighting guerrillas.
On this borderline between humans and demons that stretches for 16,000 miles, there are many demon outposts.
Li Pingan thought:
'It is essential to be on guard against others. We have never had contact with ASEAN before, so we cannot take it lightly.'
He strolled down the street for a while with his hands behind his back, then turned to an inn and asked for an ordinary room.
After entering the room, Li Ping'an symbolically arranged a layer of barrier, and took out a magic ball to isolate the outside from inspection. He quickly changed his old gown with some traces of fighting skills and put a handful of fairy treasures into the room.
The knife is carried behind his back.
Li Ping'an took out a magic mask with scars and replaced it with a thin mask that was close to his real face.
After a while, a man full of evil spirits and speaking with a southern Dongzhou accent appeared in an alley not far from the inn.
Next, Li Ping'an divided the less valuable items among the trophies into fifteen parts, and went to five of the largest local shops and ten medium-sized shops. In two hours, he harvested items worth equivalent to 240,000 yuan.
The upper grade of the lower grade spiritual stone, the middle grade spiritual stone.
——The specifications of the spiritual stones here are the same as those in Dongzhou, and there is no problem with their quality.
Two hundred and forty thousand low-grade spiritual stones is really not a small amount of money.
In fact, Li Ping'an had separated those higher value treasure materials, demon cores, weapons and other items in advance and did not sell them here.
If we estimate based on the price of this place, he looted more than thirty great demons from the True Fairyland and obtained nearly...
More than a million spirit stones?
this?
Is this normal?
This is the barren Western Continent, not the rich land of the Eastern Continent.
This made Li Ping'an full of doubts.
Something seems not quite right here.
He recalled carefully that in those demon caves, handicrafts made by humans could be seen everywhere, and the little demon kings in some demon caves were also arty, reciting poems and painting.
'The cultural invasion of the demon race by the human race?'
'But what do these monsters do for a living? Where do they get so many treasures?'
'My master and I ransacked thirty-five-six demon caves. Each demon cave was mostly filled with one true immortal demon and five or six Yuanxian demons. They neither knew how to refine weapons nor were good at refining elixirs.
,Why were so many magic weapons and elixirs found there?'
this?
Li Ping'an frowned.
He suddenly thought of the 'war border' in his hometown, where various black marketeers roamed between the two warring sides, gradually forming a special material channel.
But the human race and the demon race are feuding, and before everyone cultivates the innate body, there is reproductive isolation...
There is a big problem here.
Just as Li Ping'an was thinking, his spiritual sense suddenly gave off a warning sign. He found three groups of sneaky figures scattered across the place he passed.
'It's true that monsters are easy to destroy, but people's hearts are hard to guard against.'
Li Ping'an didn't mean to meddle in other people's business. He played cat and mouse with the person following him for a while, and spent an extra half an hour quietly returning to the inn room, regaining his clothes, appearance, and breath when he came in.
.
He checked out of the inn and asked for a few spiritual stones back;
Then he swaggered past several anxious-looking middle-aged Taoists and returned to his master.
"Master, how is your food?"
"fine."
Qing Su pointed at the few plates of dishes on the table that had not been touched with chopsticks:
"Only a few spiritual herbs are more suitable to my taste. These meat dishes all have a bit of fishy smell, and they are not as good as Ling'er's."
"Then let's go," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "I have already changed what I need."
Qingsu asked: "Aren't you going to report to ASEAN?"
Li Ping'an glanced at the street and saw several Taoists flying by in the air. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if we don't leave, we will be locked up in the formation."
Qing Su is a little confused, so the formation here has not been activated...
Buzz——
The fine dust in the air suddenly began to tremble, and the sun suddenly darkened at noon.
A thick semicircular wall of light appeared in the sky, and the entire city was directly enveloped by the formation.
Li Ping'an asked: "Master, is the formation controlled by the immortals of ASEAN?"
"Well, it should be."
Li Pingan nodded slowly, indicating that he understood, but there was a bit more doubt in his eyes.
Qingsu put down her chopsticks: "What's wrong?"
Li Ping'an hesitated slightly, then took the initiative to grab his master's sleeve and told his suspicions to his master.
boom!
Qingsu slapped the Xingyin Sword on the corner of the table and said:
"If that's the case, we can't just leave!
"If there is a traitor in ASEAN who is secretly colluding with the demon clan, and if a war breaks out here in the future, wouldn't it mean that our human Qi Refiners will be attacked from both sides?"
In Li Ping'an's eyes, his whole body was actually glowing.
[Master’s sense of justice].
"Master, please don't get excited."
Li Ping'an continued to pull up his sleeves and say:
"This is just a disciple's guess. ASEAN should not be completely ruined. There may be one or two people who are willing to fall.
"We might as well leave here first and find a way to contact the ASEAN experts in Dongzhou."
Qingsu held her chin and thought carefully, and said decisively: "I can fight, but I am not good at strategy. Disciple, you are here to plan this matter. This is the task given to you by the master to find the ASEAN traitor here."
"Master, how do we contact the ASEAN experts? Do you have any ideas?"
Li Pingan sighed:
"People from ASEAN here are not trustworthy for the time being.
"It's best to contact the ASEAN headquarters in Dongzhou."
Qing Su's voice was a little more unconfident: "I have just become an immortal and have not contacted ASEAN. There is usually a dedicated person in charge."
"That's okay. Master, let's show our own realm to be the pinnacle of the Yuanxian Realm."
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"We can only act according to circumstances now.
"Now that the formation is open, we have no choice but to wait and see what happens unless we break in... That's it for now, let's eat first."
Qing Su nodded slightly.
Her beautiful face became a little more solemn, and she was never as happy as when she first arrived.
On the street outside the window, shadows of people flew across the sky.
Li Ping'an faintly heard some Qi practitioners shouting:
"A demon spy has sneaked in! Let everyone go home and stop wandering around. Search the demon spies from house to house! The spy has scars on his face!"
Yes, this so-called monster spy is most likely talking about him.
How ironic.
…
Half an hour later.
Li Pingan and his master left the restaurant and went to find an inn to stay temporarily.
"You two fellow Taoists, please stay!"
A slightly hoarse voice came. Li Ping'an and Qing Su, who was wearing a bamboo hat, looked at each other and started performing as they had previously agreed.
Qing Su frowned slightly, shook her sleeves, and ignored him.
Li Ping'an squinted and smiled, turning to look at the middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a black Taoist robe.
This Taoist is only at the third level of Hezhen Realm, and behind him are four Qi Refiners of the Void Realm, all dressed in black Taoist robes.
This is ASEAN Qigong.
The middle-aged Taoist was quite polite, having discovered Qing Su's Immortal Taoist charm, and fully understood why such a master ignored him.
The man cupped his hands and said, "You two look at me a little strangely."
"Fellow Taoist should be familiar with it," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "My master just brought me here from Dongzhou and wanted me to practice here to see if I can find opportunities to break through my own bottleneck."
"oh?"
The middle-aged Taoist asked: "I wonder which sect my friend is from?"
"Kai Yuanzong," Li Ping'an took out a small puppet from his sleeve. The puppet danced from his palm, and the eyes of these Taoists were all bright.
Li Ping'an took out the Wei Yuanzong disciple's talisman again, feeling a little weak in his heart, but his expression was flawless.
This command talisman was naturally copied by him, and I don't know if the other party is familiar with Wei Yuanzong.
After careful inspection, these people concluded that there was no problem and returned the talisman to Li Ping'an.
"Hahaha, I heard that Wei Yuanzong's secret technique of puppets is unique in Dongzhou. I never expected to meet these two Taoist friends today. It's really an honor."
The leading middle-aged Taoist asked:
"I wonder where you two are going?"
Li Pingan looked at Qingsu and asked in a low voice: "Master, where are we going?"
Qing Su said calmly: "Kill the demon."
Li Ping'an turned to look at the Taoist, who nodded slowly and carefully felt Qingsu's Taoist charm.
The middle-aged Taoist raised his hands and said with a smile:
"Excuse me for disturbing you. There are monster spies in the city. They seem to be here to spy on the deployment of our human troops. Recently, there are tens of thousands of monster soldiers in the northwest. You two might as well wait for a while before going to that direction."
"Thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me."
"please!"
"please!"
These Xuanpao Taoists turned around and left, continuing to patrol the streets.
Li Ping'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put away the Wei Yuanzong Order Talisman, and followed his master to the inn where they would stay next.
As soon as she entered the inn, Qing Su was about to open the immortal power barrier, but was stopped by Li Ping'an's gesture.
"Master, listen to my voice."
"good."
At the moment, Qing Su first imitated the immortal from Yuanxian Realm and opened a layer of enchantment;
Li Ping'an took out a ball and took a picture of him and Qing Su meditating respectively. Then the ball opened a shallow light curtain, which contained the scene of the two people meditating.
After making such arrangements, Qing Su used her heavenly cultivation to open the barrier from the inside.
She asked: "Isn't this unnecessary? The highest level of cultivation here is only the Heavenly Immortal Realm, so you can't see through my barrier."
"But Master," Li Ping'an asked back, "think about it, if an immortal scans everywhere with his immortal consciousness and finds that there is a place that he can't see clearly, will he be more interested in this place?"
Qing Su's eyes lit up: "This is indeed the case."
Li Ping'an smiled and nodded, asking the master to take a seat, while he took out a box and started tinkering with it.
"Apprentice, are there really human traitors here?"
Qing Su sighed:
"Those people just now all have good Taoist intentions. Maybe there are really monster spies sneaking in."
"Master, let's not rush to conclusions. It's better to collect evidence first."
Li Pingan took out four pot lid-shaped magic weapons.
With the help of Teacher Yun Zhongzi's weapon-refining inheritance and senior Xu Sheng's knowledge of weapon-refining, and with the help of the Tiangong Wanxiang Diagram, Li Ping'an tinkered with a large number of novel gadgets.
Like the round ball just now, it combines the functions of the shadow bead and the phantom bead, and the effect is surprisingly good.
But Li Ping'an didn't expect...
These are the new magical weapons he developed to deal with the demon clan;
The first time I used these things was to monitor the human Qi Refiners.
Li Ping'an arranged the four magic pot lids, aligned them in four directions, and summoned the acquired spiritual treasure Cang Yue Pearl, letting the Cang Yue Pearl float in the center of the four pot lids.
The Qi Ling boy showed his small figure and sat cross-legged on the Cang Yue Pearl.
Li Ping'an said: "Master, let me lend you your immortal power and inject it with the Cang Yue Pearl."
"Okay," Qing Su did as she was told, and a wisp of blue cloud wrapped around Cang Yuezhu.
Li Pingan pointed his sword forward:
"Cang Yuezhu, borrow your spiritual power, search the sky and the earth, and immediately search for suspicious people in this city!
"Discern the words you hear, and pass all the words you find valuable into my spiritual platform."
"Well, don't worry, Master, I'll take care of it!"
Cang Yue Pearl Weapon Spirit is very motivated, and this is his first time to make a formal move.
Before that, the Cangyue Pearl Artifact Spirit was just a magic weapon that stored spirits, and didn't know that it could have such a function.
Li Ping'an closed his eyes and concentrated, and the sound of dialogue continued to ring from the spiritual platform.
Li Ping'an didn't know where these dialogue sounds came from, so he could only write down how his voice sounded.
…
Two days later.
Within Wanyun Sect.
Like a thief, Li Dazhi sneaked into the peak protection formation of Yaochen Peak, looking for his brother Yun Chenzi.
