Qi Xuansu came out from behind the corner again and stood in front of the burning ancient temple, looking at the woman's back getting further and further away.
Zhang Yuelu changed the long bow in her hand back to its original shape, put it into her sleeves, and walked slowly out of the gate of the ancient temple. Behind her, several pillars had been burned by the fire. Without support, the beams suddenly fell to the ground, and the entire ancient temple began to collapse.
.
Qi Xuansu sighed: "Demon girl."
Zhang Yuelu glanced at him: "What's wrong with the witch?"
Qi Xuansu said in a recalling tone: "I remember that my master once said after drinking that in his opinion, the four types of women make men's hearts move the most, namely: chivalrous women, fairies, seductresses, and witches."
Zhang Yuelu's tone suddenly became softer: "Then which category do I belong to?"
"Four different things." Qi Xuansu said casually.
Then Qi Xuansu was kicked in the crook of the leg by Zhang Yuelu, causing him to kneel down on one knee.
Qi Xuansu stood up as if nothing had happened, patted the dust on his knees, and coughed lightly: "I blame me for not making it clear. What I mean is that you have the strengths of all four, and you can't summarize it simply."
Zhang Yuelu snorted: "I am really flattered by such high praise."
Qi Xuansu said: "I am telling the truth. In fact, I am not interested in these fairies and witches. I just suddenly remembered the master's words and felt emotional."
Zhang Yuelu said: "I think your consciousness needs to be strengthened. How can you join me in changing the Taoism in the future?"
Qi Xuansu suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Yuelu: "Change the Taoism?"
"Yes." Zhang Yuelu nodded.
Qi Xuansu blinked: "When did we settle on this vow of eternal love?"
Zhang Yuelu stared at Qi Xuansu: "Just now, do you have any objections?"
"No objection." Qi Xuansu did not dare to "speak up and resist" under Zhang Yuelu's gaze.
Zhang Yuelu suddenly laughed and said: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."
Qi Xuansu said: "Although it is a joke, when it is really useful to me, there is no need to be polite."
Zhang Yuelu was startled, and after a while, he slowly nodded and said: "Okay."
Then Zhang Yuelu said seriously: "Let's get down to business, have you solved the other two?"
Qi Xuansu nodded and said: "It's clear."
This is a slang, a slang full of wisdom in the world. Just like Qi Xuansu's method of killing two people, conspiracy played a greater role. It can be said that the weak defeated the strong.
Zhang Yuelu couldn't bear it
Zhu looked Qi Xuansu up and down and praised: "Tianyuan, I really saw you right. Killing two masters at the Yuxu stage in a row with your Kunlun stage cultivation is really amazing."
Having said this, Zhang Yuelu felt a little ashamed: "On the other hand, I was sure of winning but let the witch escape. I'm really ashamed."
Qi Xuansu comforted her and said: "Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. Just allow me to defeat the strong with the weak, and don't you allow others to escape from your hands? Strength and weakness are not absolute, the key lies in the chance of encountering the enemy. Fighting between Jianghu people is essentially the same as fighting on the march.
There is no fundamental difference, soldiers are just deceitful."
Zhang Yuelu said thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense. In the past, I always relied on strength to win over others, and I was indeed deficient in this aspect. The Confucian sage said that when three people walk together, they must have me as their teacher. It seems that I can still
I need to learn more from you."
"It's just to exchange experiences with each other." Qi Xuansu was very modest, "If it weren't for the 'Fengyan Yisan' and 'Shenlong Hand Gun' that Qingxiao gave me, I wouldn't have been able to win easily. If we regard foreign objects as part of our own strength, in fact,
My strength is not inferior to those two."
Zhang Yuelu remembered something: "By the way, killing two Yuxu stage monsters is enough to give you two 'Yellow Character Skills'. As long as you save three 'Yellow Character Skills', you can become a 'Xuan Xuan'."
"Zigong", one "Xuanzi Gong" plus three years of excellent evaluation can be promoted to the fifth rank of Taoist priest, and three "Xuanzi Gong" can be directly promoted to the fifth rank."
In fact, Qi Xuansu also acquired a "Xuan Zi Gong" by killing Diswen. It was precisely with this "Xuan Zi Gong" that he was successfully promoted to the sixth level Taoist priest and became a preparatory mage.
Qi Xuansu glanced at the burning ancient temple and then at the dense forest that turned into a sea of flames. He didn't know what to say.
Zhang Yuelu said: "Go and wait by the river. When the fire is out, we will go in and search. There should be things that can prove our identity. When we return to Yujing, I will ask you for credit."
Qi Xuansu said sincerely: "I am so lucky to have a boss like Qing Xiao."
"No need to compliment me." Zhang Yuelu rolled his eyes at him and walked towards the river first.
"It was the beginning, and it is now. Is it a compliment or not?" Qi Xuansu followed Zhang Yuelu and said with a smile.
Zhang Yuelu just pretended not to hear.
The two came to the riverside and stood side by side, watching the raging fire shoot into the sky. Fortunately, there were mostly snow-capped mountains here, and there were some woods at the foot of the mountains, which prevented them from spreading into the sky.
A raging fire that could not be stopped.
Zhang Yuelu put his hands behind his back and looked at the blazing fire, his thoughts flying.
Qi Xuansu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, also thinking about his own thoughts.
Just waiting until daybreak, the fire gradually became unsustainable.
Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu returned to the ancient temple together. At this time, only some broken walls of the ancient temple were left. Zhang Yuelu waved his sleeves and swept away the ashes of the ruins with his strength, revealing the charred corpses underneath.
There were many corpses, most of them belonging to horse thieves. However, Qi Xuansu still relied on his memory to find the location of the person who was killed by his sneak attack, and found a string of beads with the image of Wu Luo on his corpse.
Speaking of which, this man died unjustly, because he was only in the Yuxu stage, which is the Dharma state of Wu Zhu, and is still one step away from the golden body state of the Guizhen stage. Therefore, without unfolding the Dharma state in advance, his body
He was very vulnerable and was shot directly from behind by Qi Xuansu.
This is also the shortcoming of the Immortal Heritage. Before achieving the Golden Body realm, if you take a stance and engage in a fight, it will be extremely powerful. However, if you are attacked by others before you can take the stance, you will easily be attacked without making a move.
The embarrassing situation of winning. At this point, Takeo is just the opposite. He is not afraid of sneak attacks. The difference between deliberately defending and not taking precautions is not too big.
Precisely because he died without being able to summon the dharma image, the flowing beads he wore were still full of magical power and were not damaged by the fire.
The beads worn by the two women who attacked Zhang Yuelu earlier were made of wood, while the beads worn by the leader were made of bone. ??
Then Qi Xuansu went to the charred woods. Unfortunately, Chu Chunliang had exhausted all his divine power in the end, and his body and the beads were turned into ashes in the fire, leaving only some remains.
This also means that Qi Xuansu's two "Huang Zi Gong" have become one "Yellow Zi Gong". After all, a Taoist sect must have credentials when requesting merit, similar to the way military merit is judged based on head level, and the head level must also be checked.
Put an end to the practice of killing good people and claiming merit. On the Taoist side, although the head is not required, it does require related "tokens", such as the flowing beads worn by people from the Lingshan Witch Cult. And there are also requirements for such tokens, at least they must be bones.
Qualitative.
Since Liuzhu was destroyed, Qi Xuansu could not claim credit.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
I took such a big risk and spent so much effort, but it turned out to be in vain.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu handed a string of beads to Qi Xuan
In front of Su.
Qi Xuansu was startled, took the Liuzhu, and asked, "Where did this come from?"
Zhang Yuelu smiled and said: "Isn't there another shopkeeper You Da? Although he is not a witch, he is also a member of the Lingshan witch sect. I went to search him, and sure enough I found a string of beads."
Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "It was clearly you who killed this person, how can I pretend to take credit from you?"
Zhang Yuelu said: "You clearly killed two demons. How can I, as my superior, let you, my subordinate, only get a share of the credit?"
Qi Xuansu wanted to speak, but Zhang Yuelu interrupted him: "Do you want me to ask for credit for myself? I can't help but take it, so just take it for you, not my mother-in-law."
When Qi Xuansu heard what Zhang Yuelu said, he didn't show any pretense and accepted this string of flowing beads. Together with the previous string, he obtained two "Yellow Character Skills".
Zhang Yuelu patted the ashes on his hands and said: "Although we have killed several demons, we still don't know what the motives and purposes of this group of demons are for killing people. Is it for money? Revenge? Or is this person's fate special?
, chosen as a sacrifice by them?"
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but said: "This third possibility is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. At least I wouldn't have thought of it."
Zhang Yuelu said: "This is the experience summed up by the Taoist sect over the past two hundred years. Of course it is not just a random thought."
Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said: "In that case, do you think it is the third possibility?"
"Absolutely." Zhang Yuelu nodded and said, "As long as we find the family of the sufferer and know his birth date, we can confirm whether this guess is right or wrong."
Qi Xuansu asked: "How to find it?"
Zhang Yuelu looked at the head of the suffering master and said: "Just use the Qi-gazing technique."
After saying that, Zhang Yuelu looked at the unrecognizable head, with purple energy flashing in his eyes. Then Zhang Yuelu took out a piece of furoshiki from the Xumi object and signaled Qi Xuansu to put the head away.
After Qi Xuansu put away her head, Zhang Yuelu's eyes were filled with purple energy, and an air flow invisible to the naked eye appeared in her sight, extending to a very far distance.
Zhang Yuelu took a step forward, and his body flew forward as if it were moving. Qi Xuansu took out the armor horse again, lifted up the hem of his clothes, tied it to his legs, then chanted a mantra in his mouth, and followed Zhang Yuelu closely.
The two of them walked along this invisible airflow for about five hundred miles, and a mountain city appeared in their sight.
