Cultivation starts with time management

Wait, those two apprentices of Wei Dongliu seem to need to come.

After Qiu Changtian took the Gold Mercury Pill, he saw Xu Yinglian took the Pure Vitality Pill.

"The Xu family has a few juniors who want to use it." She explained concisely.

"Yeah." Qiu Changtian also said with a smile, "A fellow Taoist asked me to collect this."

"Where is the fellow Taoist?" Xu Yinglian asked vigilantly.

"Male fellow daoist." Qiu Changtian immediately made amends.

"Hmph, but I don't care about this..." Xu Yinglian said coldly, "Who does the senior brother make friends with? Naturally, it's not my turn to ask the junior sister, so let's go."

She will simply turn her head and turn around, her long black hair swaying like a waterfall, and her white clothes are flying away.

Qiu Changtian laughed dumbfounded, and quickly caught up.

After the two left the Queen Mother of the West's secret realm, they returned to the Kunlun Tianzhu, Yuxu Palace, and talked about it with the head teacher Ziwei.

"Phoenix ancestor of the Xu family?" Headmaster Ziwei pondered for a while, then said, "Where is it?"

"The disciple found some clues, and it should be near Dongting Lake." Xu Yinglian replied.

Dongting Lake is located at the boundary of the sphere of influence of Shangqingguan and Fanshengdao on Mount Shu. It can only be said that although it is not particularly dangerous, it is not safe enough.

If Mo Dao finds out about it, they will definitely send four or five Yuanying elders to intercept and kill Changgeng Qiongying, a first-rank and second-rank, who fell at the same time. It's a lucrative business.

The safest measure must be to find a fairy to escort the whole journey, that is absolutely foolproof.

After all, there are too few ways to restrain immortals, even in immortal battles, it is difficult to distinguish between life and death.

However, immortals also want face, how could they be willing to be nanny for two Jindan juniors?

You have to add money, and the bid must not be low. To be honest, there is no need.

It would be better for Master Ziwei to sell personal favors and call a powerful Kunlun elder to come over. As long as they can save their lives when they are attacked, and then report to Kunlun Taiqingzong to come to help, it is much more suitable than a fairy escorting them all the way.

However, there is another problem here: there are quite a few Nascent Soul Elders in Kunlun, but there are not many high-ranking Nascent Soul Elders.

If Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian didn't show up for a long time, the Demon Society would think that the two might be practicing in seclusion, so there wouldn't be any big reaction.

But if a high-ranking Kunlun elder does not show up for a long time, the Demon Sect will immediately track down his whereabouts, in order to prevent this person from leaving Kunlun quietly and planning some evil surprise attack to secretly harm the Six Paths of the Demon Sect.

Therefore, if high-ranking Nascent Soul Elders were sent to protect the two, it seemed that their safety was guaranteed, but in fact it attracted the attention of the Demon Cult.

On the other hand, if no high-level Nascent Soul Elder is sent, as long as they are not discovered by the Demonic Dao, it will be safer for Qiu Changtian and the others... What is safer than hiding in the dark?

The head teacher Ziwei decided to make a compromise: send a monk who has the strength of the Nascent Soul realm, but is not easy to attract the attention of the Demon Sect.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

After a while, someone from outside opened the door and came in, it was Luo Baiyuan, Senior Sister Luo, the head of Jindan Realm University.

At first glance, this person looks a bit like An Zhisu, and they are not good at socializing, but anyone who is familiar with Senior Sister Luo knows that this senior sister is just simple and honest, and is not like An Zhisu's "I don't care" inherited from Su Jian. "'s implicit arrogance, there is an almost essential difference.

"Chang Geng and Qiongying are going out." Headmaster Ziwei said succinctly, "In order to prevent the attack of the magic way, you are responsible for escorting them this time. Remember to keep it as secret as possible, and don't let it out."

"Yes." Luo Baiyuan replied without thinking.

Chapter 88 The Logical Reasoning of Long Autumn

On Dongting Lake, go boating.

"Why does Senior Sister Hanyuan have white hair?" Xu Yinglian asked curiously.

"I was poisoned by cold in my mother's womb before." Luo Baiyuan replied, "He was congenitally lacking in the physical body, so his hair became gray."

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult for Senior Sister." Xu Yinglian said with emotion, "It's really admirable to be able to win the position of chief of the Golden Core Realm now."

Qiu Changtian didn't interrupt, but just listened silently.

He knew that Junior Sister Xu liked this kind of "hard work and success" stories the most, especially that Senior Sister Luo had a low starting point, was a chief executive, and was also a woman, so she could win Xu Yinglian's sympathy.

"There's nothing to admire." Luo Baiyuan replied, "It's just a fluke."

"Lucky?" Xu Yinglian smiled nonchalantly, "If the chief of the Jindan Realm can be lucky enough to get it, then I don't know what difficulties are in the world."

Having been trained by Qiu Changtian for many years, she now has a strong immunity to this kind of "student humility".

Luo Baiyuan was a little confused, and said honestly:

"Junior Sister Qiongying, I won't lie to you, it's really just a fluke... There are three senior brothers in my generation, all of whom are far stronger than me in terms of strength. Later, they were all promoted to Nascent Soul. My cultivation is too slow to improve. So stay at the Golden Core Realm and be the great chief."

Xu Yinglian: ...

Qiu Changtian turned his head to hold back a smile, but Xu Yinglian keenly noticed him, and immediately gave him a hard look.

She thought about the fact that Senior Brother Dog had left the Chief of the Foundation Establishment to herself after he formed the alchemy in advance, and when she saw her husband laughing at this moment, she was a little out of breath.

"Junior Sister Qiongying and Junior Brother Chang Geng have such a good relationship." Luo Baiyuan said enviously, "It is a blessing to have a confidante in life; it is luck to make it happen in the end, how rare it is."

"Senior sister was joking." Xu Yinglian said in a low voice with a rare shyness, "Senior sister is so outstanding, there must be no shortage of good talents to match her."

The two began to enter the stage of blowing each other for the first time when women met, and their relationship was also heating up rapidly.

Qiu Changtian was very self-conscious, and didn't rashly intervene in their friendship, but just stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.

The reason why the three of them did not have a sword, but traveled by boat, was naturally to deceive others - it is said that the traitor of the Xu family did not have a sword during the whole process, and pretended to be a mortal all the way down the south of the Yangtze River.

Taking a boat from Dongting Lake to the Xiangjiang River, Xu Yinglian stopped chatting with Senior Sister Luo, but cheered up carefully and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

According to the records of the Xu family's search for the traitor, the last location of the other party was a stay along the Xiangjiang River.

After that, he completely lost his whereabouts... Through the arithmetic check, it can probably be confirmed that the other party has fallen.

In fact, after such a long time, the Xu family had searched most of the villages and towns on both sides of the Xiangjiang River and the villages in the nearby forests, and indeed no trace of the traitor had been found.

Although the relics left by Fengtong are precious, the most important thing is the commemorative meaning of "things left by the ancestors". Of course, it is impossible for generations to spend manpower in vain to find them.

Xu Yinglian's guess is that the other party must have entered a secret realm.

Only a secret realm that becomes an independent world can hide the body of a monk without being discovered.

However, in the absence of any clues, is it any different from looking for a needle in a haystack to find the entrance to an unknown secret place on the entire Xiangjiang River?

"A Jing!" Qiu Changtian tentatively asked, "Is there a way to scan the entire Xiangjiang River?"

"Yes." Kunlun Mirror replied angrily, "I still have the means to scan the entire cultivation world, believe it or not?"

"You are not allowed to lie? Warning twice." After Qiu Changtian trained A Jing, he turned his head and returned to the cabin room, and began to read the materials brought by Xu Yinglian alone.

The entire Xiangjiang River is more than 200 miles long, and a blanket search is unrealistic. Evidence must be searched from other places to minimize the scope of the investigation.

According to the records provided by the Xu family, the traitor's name is "Xu Zhi".

Qiu Changtian read the records carefully, and apart from a lot of political smears, there is really not much valuable news.

For example, why did Xu Zhi betray the Xu family? Only a few places mentioned that he had failed in the struggle for power within the clan, so he defected from the Xu family and went south.

Of course, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that those who cultivate immortals should cultivate immortals well. How can there be such a saying as fighting for power or not?

Can the power based on the organizational structure be comparable to Weili's own cultivation strength?

Obviously, it was the too fierce political struggle that caused the last person in power of the Xu family to be unable to tolerate Xu Zhi, which led to the latter having to flee.

Xu Zhi originally had excellent cultivation talent in the clan, and he was also one of the core members of the high-level clan, otherwise he would not have the qualifications to enter Fengtong Mausoleum.

At that time, the Tiannan Xu family seemed unprepared for his defection, or they misjudged the time of his defection, so that half a day after he defected, he was found missing by the family and the tomb was stolen.

After leaving Xu's house, Xu Zhi first arrived at Jiangling City with Yujian (there are many witnesses, which can be confirmed), and then disguised as a mortal and mixed into the city, and continued to go down the river.

There are no ID cards and cameras in this world, so once a practitioner uses a disguise and blends into the vast crowd, it is almost impossible to be discovered. This is why the Six Paths of the Demon Sect can never die under the siege of the Orthodox Sanqing.

The reason why I say "almost" is because there is still a line of secret art in this world called "shushu".

In short, the Xu family in Tiannan invited the Jian family in Qingzhou, and confirmed through calculations that he continued to go southwest along the river by boat, arrived and crossed Dongting Lake into the Xiangjiang River, and then disappeared.

In the arithmetic, there are many explanations for "no trace". For example, casting a spell shields the arithmetic, for example, it involves deeper secrets and makes the calculation impossible, or enters a cave that cannot be covered by the arithmetic, and so on.

So the Xu family deployed a large number of people to investigate around the Xiangjiang River. The strange thing is that Xu Zhi has been like a muddy cow, leaving no traces at all... All information and intelligence came to an abrupt end.

Where is Xu Zhi planning to go?Qiu Changtian opened another "Shenzhou Hydrography", found the map, and saw that Xu Yinglian had already marked it.

Tiannan, Jiangling City, Yangtze River, Dongting Lake, and Xiangjiang River, if they are connected into a line, we can know that Xu Zhi is always heading southwest.

What's to the southwest?There are hundreds of thousands of mountains in southern Xinjiang, where Xu Yinglian drew a circle with a Chinese ink brush.

Maybe he was going to join the Eastern Emperor's Road, maybe he was looking for a place to live in seclusion, but most likely Xu Zhi's destination was Southern Xinjiang.

Although the southern border is far away from the Central Plains, there are many legacy of the witch clan and heretics, many of which can shield the evil methods of magic, so if the people of the Central Plains are hunted down by the enemy, they must choose to be isolated from the world without being disturbed, and they will often Choose to go to southern Xinjiang to find local aliens, or go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to find foreign monks, instead of fleeing to Mobei, Beyond the Great Wall, or the East China Sea or South China Sea.

But if it is inferred like this, then there is a high probability that Xu Zhi does not have the ability to block arithmetic, otherwise he would not be single-minded about running to southern Xinjiang.

Thinking about it this way, accidentally entering a certain secret realm by accident, causing the traces of its calculation...even the traces of its existence in this world to completely disappear, has become the greatest possibility among many possibilities.

However, where is the entrance to this secret realm?Without any clues, wouldn't it be a needle in a haystack?

After thinking about it, Qiu Changtian finally let out a long sigh and asked Kunlun Mirror:

"A Jing, you said earlier that there is a way to scan the entire Xiangjiang River, right?"

"I suggest that you travel directly back to the time when Xu Zhi rebelled against the clan, and follow him all the way to see where he went. This will be more reliable." Kunlun Mirror suggested.

"It's not impossible..."

"Go away! Can't do it!"

Chapter 89 Fireworks on Earth

The next morning.

Qiu Changtian woke up leisurely from trance, and saw Xu Yinglian sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair gracefully in front of the mirror.

Junior Sister Xu doesn't usually wear pearl hairpins, she just tied it casually with a blue ribbon.Now there is no blue ribbon, let the hair hang freely, matching her already slim body curve, with three points of laziness, four points of purity and three points of charm, very attractive.

With a slight thought in his mind, Qiu Changtian hugged Xu Yinglian from behind and put his hands on her waist.

Well, this meat is more plump and less slender, which can be said to be just right.

"What are you doing!" Junior Sister Xu snorted from her nose and said reproachfully.

Although there was no embarrassment, the crisp voice and the melodious tone at the end were more like acting like a baby than angry protests.

"What? Can't my husband hug you?" Qiu Changtian took the lead in protesting and questioned her.

"Holding is fine, touching is not allowed." Xu Yinglian said lazily.

As soon as he said this, Qiu Changtian immediately regretted it.

If I had known that my junior sister was already so gentle, I should have hugged her more.

As for the more in-depth intimacy, we can continue with her after recovering Chen Guanshui's identity, so as not to get the last step, and the junior sister thinks that she is married to Qiu Changtian, which is not so wonderful.

Wait, if Chen Guanshui's identity is restored, I'm not sure how my junior sister will treat me!

Forget it, let's talk about it later.

Qiu Changtian helped his junior sister comb her hair, and asked gently:

"Are there any other clues about Xu Zhi?"

"Well, not anymore." Xu Yinglian said with a sigh, "After all, it is too far away from now, and the family at that time seemed unwilling to disclose the specific reasons why Xu Zhi rebelled against the family."

"However, I have some clues about the secret place on the Xiangjiang River."

She stood up, took out a roll of bamboo slips from the storage bag, and placed them on the table.

It turned out to be a bamboo slip... Qiu Changtian picked up the bamboo slip and quickly browsed through it.

It is said that there was a loyal minister in the ancient country in the land of Hunan and Chu, as predicted in all tragedies, who was not trusted by the monarch.

In the end, the loyal minister was exiled here by the king, and drowned in the river in grief and indignation.

After death, a little heroic spirit lingered, but came to a certain fairyland.

The masters of the fairyland are two wives, who call themselves "Xiangjiang Goddesses", and are waiting here for the return of their husband "Xiangjun".

After hearing the deeds of the loyal minister, let him live in the fairyland, waiting for the final destiny of the motherland.

Seeing this, Qiu Changtian also pondered.

As we all know, such strange stories about "mortals meeting gods" are often metaphors for some mysterious places.

The person who wrote the story, on the one hand, in order to prevent the loss of information about the entrance to the secret realm, would stuff a bunch of hints into the content of the story.
