The time to start is Friday, but Qi Xuansu wants to observe it in advance.
In the words of Jianghu people, this is called stepping on the spot.
Although Qi Xuansu now wears a luxurious crane cloak, sits in a high position, and has an engagement with the beautiful and noble Miss Zhang, he is already a decent person and has entered the upper class society. But in the past, he was just a wanderer.
, the matter of cocks crowing and dogs stealing is not new.
This does not prevent Qi Xuansu from being promoted within the Taoist sect. The so-called hero does not care about his origin. A beggar monk can be an emperor, and a Taoist priest can be a great leader. Especially in the current era when equality is advocated, being born in commoner is a kind of praise.
The theory of blood and destiny is somewhat out of date for today's Taoism.
If given a choice, Qi Xuansu would definitely choose to become the Grand Master on his own, instead of becoming the Grand Master because of whose descendant he is.
Of course, this is not to say that there is no market for blood theory. In fact, there is still some market. For example, in the Li family, there are many people who are obsessed with being the emperor of the Taoist sect and engaging in father-son inheritance.
I agree with this, it is too servile.
It is worth mentioning that the title "Saint Ancestor" is generally used for immortals. The first person to be named Taishang Taoist was the Saint Ancestor of Daqi. Later, there was Zhao Xuanlang, the Saint Ancestor of the Jin Dynasty, who was also an immortal. There are also former
Prince Jin, the sage ancestor of Shu, was also a Taoist immortal. They were all granted posthumous titles.
Rather than saying that the Holy Ancestor is a temple name, it is better to say that it is an immortal name, so generally no emperor in the world will use this kind of temple name. If an emperor uses the Holy Ancestor as a temple name, it will be suspected of being too shameless, or it will be shameless for future generations.
Deliberately yin and yang, you have to choose one.
The Li family is right. Taishang Daozu and Xuansheng are both immortals. This is appropriate. The two saints are divided into the Great Saint Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor. The Taoist sect regards "great" as the highest praise, so it is called the Great Immortal.
The Great Patriarch and the Great Saint Ancestor are one level higher than the Saint Ancestor.
Talking back to Qi Xuansu, in fact, for him, those years in the world have not passed too long, and they have not been so long that he is about to forget them.
Qi Xuansu's martial arts skills were taught by Qiniang step by step.
Although Qi Xuansu has not done this for a long time and is a bit unfamiliar, considering that his current level of cultivation is completely different from the past, it is actually simpler.
It would be even easier if Sofia's residence was not so close to St. Francis Cathedral.
The Sophia Mansion occupies a large area and is a typical Western-style mansion. Compared with similar mansions in the Central Plains, it occupies a much smaller area and has a simpler and more intuitive structure. It mainly consists of a courtyard and a three-story building.
, it looks quite satisfactory. After all, this is the most prosperous midtown area, not far from St. Francis Cathedral, and every inch of land is precious, so Sofia cannot be here.
There is no place to build too large a manor.
Just like Nanyang, there are so many wastelands. As long as you are willing to spend money, it is not a problem to build a palace covering a thousand acres. You can also build a Crystal Palace under the sea. But in Yujing, even the Grand Master's Zixiao Palace has a limited area.
Since the land area is limited, we have to make a fuss underground.
This is also reasonable.
According to Qi Xuansu's observation, the guards on the surface are nothing to worry about. These guards mainly block ordinary people. The plainclothes detectives of Renekton Detective Agency are mainly responsible for the outside. Although these people have been transformed by alchemy and arcana, they are not suitable for ordinary people.
As far as Qi Xuansu's pseudo-immortal incarnations are concerned, their power is still not worth mentioning. They mainly serve as an early warning, just like human bells.
Qi Xuansu could easily bypass these public guards and plainclothes detectives without any difficulty.
The interior of the mansion is in charge of Colt's "Steam Law Enforcement Officers". These "Steam Law Enforcement Officers" have different models. The ones Qi Xuansu encountered last time were just ordinary security models. Those used to protect the Speaker are more advanced ones.
The personal guard model is more powerful.
For Qi Xuansu, it is not difficult to destroy them, but the difficult thing is not to disturb them.
This is like a small box. Qi Xuansu can smash the small box directly, but the problem is that the small box is placed under the eyes of the Patriarch. Once it makes a noise and alerts the Patriarch, the latter can also smash Qi Xuansu. This is
You need to use some skills to open the box and take away the contents without attracting attention.
At this moment, Wu Niang, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared again. "If you ask me, just burn it to ashes, and then kill them all, and then kill them directly. Gods will kill gods, and Buddhas will kill Buddhas."
Qi Xuansu nodded in agreement and said, "That's a way. Even if I fail and am beaten to dust by the Patriarch's palm falling from the sky, I won't be affected. I just lost a fairy. It's not a big deal."
"You kid!" Wu Niang was speechless.
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "If I were the Holy Lord Tantai Yun, then I would definitely choose this method to crush this house and these floating islands in the sky with one kick. I would punch them all down one by one. It's a pity that I am not."
Wuniang said: "Tantaiyun, you became an immortal before the age of forty, and you didn't use any external force. Xuansheng, with the help of external force, you are already an immortal at your age. You have to hold on tight, you are not young, you are not even a young person."
If you are not a fake immortal, how can you talk about being a great master?"
Qi Xuansu was silent for a while, then slowly
He said, "You have really high standards and strict requirements for me, which sounds outrageous. If you become an immortal and become a master, it's as natural as getting married and having a son."
While the two were bickering, Qi Xuansu swept across the mansion with his spiritual thoughts from a distance and restored the layout of the entire house in his mind.
At the same time, Qi Xuansu also noticed some restrictions that prevented his thoughts from penetrating downwards.
This should be where the secret key is placed. Qi Xuansu's idea may not be able to break through these restrictions, but it will arouse Sophia's vigilance, so he did not attack hard.
In addition, Qi Xuansu also had an unexpected gain. He discovered another abandoned basement, which seemed to have been a wine cellar.
This made Qi Xuansu think of a way. He asked Wu Niang, "Wu Niang, the two of us share perception. You have also noticed the underground restriction. My level of alchemist is not enough. Do you have a way to break this restriction?"
Although Wu Niang was restricted by innate shackles and could not break through the immortals, she did not waste her time. The long years gave her many other things. She can almost be regarded as a generalist, knowing everything and knowing everything.
And judging from Wu Niang's attack method, she is not a martial artist, she prefers magic, especially fire magic.
Wu Niang thought for a while and replied, "When you want to break through this restriction, give me control of your body. It must be all control."
Qi Xuansu emphasized, "It's not a violent breakthrough, which I can do myself, but a way to untie it quietly without alerting others."
"I know." Wu Niang said in her heart, "Don't forget, I have been in the Western world for many years and am familiar with these Westerners' tricks. It's not a big deal."
"That's good." Qi Xuansu felt relieved.
He has figured out a way to enter Sophia's mansion.
On Friday, Qi Xuansu, whose figure had disappeared, stood on the roof of a tall building, watching from a distance as Sophia left her mansion in a luxurious carriage, and then jumped off the roof. The moment he landed, he
It sank directly into the ground and disappeared.
This is the most widely used Earth Escape Technique among the Five Element Escape Techniques.
In the Western spell list, it is called "Thor's Stone".
Qi Xuansu used earth escape to enter the abandoned wine cellar he had discovered earlier.
This wine cellar has nothing to do with Sofia's basement. There is a considerable distance between the two. Moreover, this wine cellar is completely sealed, with soil all around it. Obviously, a long time ago, there should be a passage leading to the ground.
, it was just buried and blocked for some reason, and eventually became
An abandoned basement enclosed underground.
Since it is an abandoned basement, there is naturally no forbidden protection such as magic circles. Qi Xuansu can easily enter it through earth escape.
This was Qi Xuansu's unexpected gain when he scanned Sophia's mansion with his spiritual mind, and his inspiration also came from this.
In the final battle of Daomen's attack on Ise Shrine in Fenglinzhou, Tianmen sank the shrine into the mountain, and Daomen forcibly opened a road through the alchemist camp and entered the mountain.
Qi Xuansu learned some minor spells through the alchemist inheritance. In addition to "turning stone into gold", there is also "turning the ground into steel", turning the soft soil into solid steel, which can not only resist swords, but also prevent earth escape. Sophia
The basement is insulated with the special material of Steam Gospel. Not only can Earth Escape cannot enter, but also Metal Escape cannot enter.
In addition to these two spells, there is also the completely opposite method of "turning fossils into mud". This method was used when the Alchemist Camp dug hundreds of miles of tunnels in Fenglin Continent.
Digging tunnels has always been one of the means of siege, and it has a classical aesthetic.
Qi Xuansu's idea was to follow the old example of Fenglinzhou and open a tunnel from this abandoned wine cellar to the basement beneath Sophia's mansion.
With the cultivation of a dignified pseudo-immortal, by doing it yourself, you can not only turn fossils into mud, but even turn the mud into powder, thereby eliminating the need to transport the soil out.
Neither Sofia nor the local Patriarch would have thought that a dignified fake fairy, a so-called big shot, would stoop to do such a thief thing instead of sitting behind the scenes and strategizing.
There was no way, Qi Xuansu put on the shoes for too short a time, and he didn't pay much attention to it, so he didn't mind taking them off temporarily.
Qi Xuansu pressed his hands on the wall. In an instant, the soil in front of him turned into finer powder, and a tunnel with smooth walls that seemed to have been washed out by the river appeared in front of Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu walked to the end of the tunnel, repeated the process again, and opened another tunnel.
Neither the plainclothes detectives on the ground, nor the Speaker's guards, nor the tireless "steam law enforcement officers" were aware of it.
Qi Xuansu easily bypassed them.
Soon, Qi Xuansu came to the outside of Sophia's basement. After the soil was removed, he could see the walls made of special metal with various arcane symbols engraved on them.
After passing this wall, we reached our destination. All the precautionary measures taken by Sophia at the basement entrance were in vain.
"Wuniang, what happens next is up to you." Qi Xuansu handed control of his body to me, Wu Niang.
