Master's Escape Plan

The next day was a sunny day, the autumn air was crisp and cloudless.

The master and apprentice went downstairs, and not long after having breakfast in the lobby, the carriage sent by the palace stopped behind the inn in a low-key manner.

The coachman showed Bai Shuang's token to Qin Shu, and drove the two of them towards the palace.

Everyone in Tianqi attaches great importance to monks. In order to avoid trouble, Qin Shu didn't use the name of Zheng Yizong's elder, but only entered the palace as an ordinary casual monk to visit Baishuang.

The carriage stopped after entering the Yongjin Gate, and the rest of the road needed to get off the carriage and walk across.

A young eunuch led the way, his footsteps were light and slow, he abided by the rules and kept his eyes fixed. It looked like he had been tempered in the palace for a long time.

Qin Shu walked on the imperial road, his spiritual consciousness spread out, and after a little perception, he knew that this palace was really not to be underestimated.In addition to the Imperial Forest Army with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, there are several monks' breath, the lowest is the distraction stage, and the highest can reach the tribulation stage.

As expected of the royal family, there is no other name for this generous defense alone.

Qin Shu restrained his aura, now he looked like an ordinary distraction.It is just right to use this level of cultivation in the palace, it will not attract too much attention, and it will not make people look down upon.

Needless to say, Xie Linqing also consciously suppressed Yuanying. Yuanying was inconspicuous in Beijing, as if a stone fell into the sea without splashing much water.

It took nearly an hour for several people to go from the palace gate to the third west house where Bai Shuang lived.

After bringing them here, the little eunuch went down to salute, and a maid changed to lead them into the front hall of Xisan Institute.

After entering the gate and bypassing the screen, the people inside couldn't restrain their enthusiasm, and strode forward to bow deeply to Qin Shu: "Disciple pays homage to Master."

"Get up." This is the imperial palace, and Qin Shu couldn't let Bai Shuang ignore his etiquette, so he reached out to support his elbow and helped him up.

Before he came in, his spiritual sense had already noticed that Baishuang's aura was weak, and he was even more surprised when he took a closer look at it.I haven't seen her for more than two years, why is Bai Shuang so haggard?

Most of the formerly beautiful face was lost, and the spirit in those beautiful phoenix eyes also disappeared, her complexion was pale, and her body was so thin that she couldn't support her clothes.

"What's going on here?" Qin Shu sat down at the main seat with a serious face.

Xie Linqing's complexion was not very good either, the second junior brother looked like he was murdered by someone, otherwise how could a Jindan stage monk fall into such a state?It's a pity that I have lived in the Star Sect for the past six months, and have never heard any news from outside.

Bai Shuang smiled bitterly, and said: "I don't know, this disease

In the beginning, it was just an ordinary wind and cold..."

He narrated his experience in the past six months without concealing his disease. At the end, he couldn't help but be puzzled: "The seniors in the Theravada period can't see the cause of this disease, which really makes this disciple feel strangeness."

After he finished speaking, several people knew that this disease was definitely not a common cold, and someone was doing it secretly.

Qin Shu thought for a while, discussed with Ba Qi for a while, and said to Bai Shuang: "As a teacher, I need to go to Xisan Institute once and look around."

Bai Shuang was waiting for his words, and immediately got up and said, "Master, please."

He was about to go out with Qin Shu, but was stopped by Xie Linqing: "There is no need to follow, Master has his own measure."

After Qin Shu went out, Bai Shuang asked Xie Linqing: "Brother, why haven't you been in the sect for the past six months?"

He had read Liu Mingqi's letter, and he was lucky to have seen the letter from the elder brother first, otherwise he would be disappointed again.

"Master called me to practice." Xie Linqing briefly mentioned it vaguely, and then said seriously: "If the younger brother can trust me, I will try to help you find out the crux of the disease."

Bai Shuang knew that her elder brother had always been very powerful, not to mention a rare genius in Zhengzong, who was strong in spells, magic circles, and swordsmanship.But even the other Hinayana seniors didn't find out the cause of this disease. Is it inappropriate for the elder brother to only have the cultivation base of Nascent Soul?

Seeing the doubts in Bai Shuang's heart, Xie Linqing didn't explain much, but said: "Second Junior Brother, don't worry, I will never harm you."

Only his master and uncles know that his cultivation base has reached the stage of crossing the catastrophe, so he can be regarded as a backup for Chu Jiangyue who is lurking in the dark.

Elder brother has said so, Bai Shuang has no reason to refuse, if it is about trust, he believes in elder brother.

Xie Linqing asked him to sit down, put his hand on the back of his heart, and the spiritual power slowly poured into the Baishuang meridian from the palm.

Outside the palace, Qin Shu let go of the restrictions of his spiritual consciousness, and took the topography of the entire palace into his mind.

Just now when he came out of the palace in front of everyone, he did not hide his body, and freely searched in the West Third Institute. Except for some courtyards that cannot be visited, such as the Hanshuang Palace where the imperial concubine lives, other places can be roughly seen. Pass.

In the first pass, nothing unusual was found, but there were more guards in the Flower Viewing Garden than in other places.Qin Shu asked the maid, and learned that an assassin sneaked into the small garden last night, intending to assassinate Bai Shuang.

Bai Shuang's appearance is as if he is sick and broken, and he has not gone to court several times recently.Those royal brothers of his are very shrewd. The more they stand on the sidelines at this time, they refuse to reach out to disrupt the situation, otherwise they will be investigated.

It's over when you come out.

Who will pick this time to start?

Qin Shu couldn't figure out the key point, and entered the small garden again after thinking about it.

He has just been here once, the small garden invited Master Yunhuai to guide him, the layout is quiet and elegant, even the rockery is no more than one person tall, willows hang down the bank, osmanthus dances are fragrant, the garden occupies a small area, it is difficult to hide circle.

【"Host, the presence of demonic energy has been detected."】After Qin Shu walked around the garden twice, Ba Qi said suddenly.

Magical energy?Qin Shu looked around, his spiritual perception was raised to the highest level, and he didn't find Moxiu hiding.

After thinking about it, he formed a seal, tapped lightly between his eyebrows, and the moment he opened his eyes, something else appeared in the small garden.

A faint black air floated in front of his eyes, like a mist that would be blown away by the wind at any time.

This trick is the introductory skill of the Bright Pupil technique that he and his second senior sister learned, and it can see things that are invisible to the naked eye and spiritual consciousness.

Following the devilish energy, Qin Shu found a jade tea flower in the corner of the small garden through willow curtains and flowers.

It was the season of flowering, and the jade tea was so strangely red, burning like fire, standing among the flowers, it looked like a certain person, and all the flowers were overshadowed.

"Wanjing." Qin Shu's eyes changed, and he whispered the name in his heart.He reached out to pick jade tea.

【"The host is not allowed."】Ba Qi stopped Qin Shu in time, and explained: 【"This is a soul-eating flower, which is often used to suck the soul of others. If the person who feeds it does not die, the flower will never wither."】

Qin Shu stopped and asked Baqi, "Is there a way to get rid of this flower?"

According to Baqi's description just now, Baishuang's illness is probably inseparable from this flower.

It's just that I don't know when Wanjing's hand stretched out so long and came to the capital?

He frowned, and there was a strong black air in his eyes. The black air lingered around the jade tea, occasionally mixed with one or two white fluffs, and the white fluffs were quickly assimilated by the black air and blended into it.

The white catkins should be Baishuang's soul, and the black energy should be Wanjing's demonic energy.

Ba Qi searched for records about the Soul-eating Flower, briefly summarized it, and said to Qin Shu: 【"The Soul-eating Flower is a fragment of a magic flower, which can only be attached to the flower, not a real flower. To remove it, only There are three methods, one is to kill the person who is being fed, the other is to kill the flower planter, and the third is to crush the Soul-devouring Flower Soul."]

Bai Shuang is his disciple, so the first method is naturally not feasible; as for the flower grower, Wanjing is far away in the sky, so it is even more unfeasible; at this moment, the only way is to crush the flower soul.

Qin Shu asked Baqi about the detailed method, concentrated his spiritual power in his hands, and pointed at Huaxin as a sword.

This first attack was blocked, and the black air quickly

Condensation, covering Yuming inside.

As if another person was competing with him in the air, in the next few horizontal cuts, the sharp sword intent of the fingertips was always removed with continuous force, the black energy was not lacking, but the spiritual power was swallowed up.

To cut off the stamens, the flower branches and pedicel should not be damaged.

Qin Shu tried a few more times, but he was hit by the black air and hit the snake with the stick, wrapped it around his fingertips, and cut a wound on his fingertips.

It seems that the sword is difficult to use, so he can only pull out Lingjun, sweep it back and forth, and cut off a piece of black air.

Hei Qi reacted very quickly and wanted to move closer to Yu Minghua.How could Qin Shu allow it to return to its original place, where the sword tip is, where the spiritual power goes, the black energy will recede and disperse.

In the south of the sky, inside the cave.

Dan Kou smeared again, Wan Jing sighed, and gently wiped off the dark red on her fingertips.

At this time, a wisp of demonic energy quietly wrapped around her finger, and she stuck to it like a wronged child.

"Why, you also want to rely on me?" Wanjing said with a smile, she hooked her fingers to drive away the demonic energy.

The devilish energy was persistent, and it wound up along the fingers and slid into her palm.

She spread her plain hand, and a phantom of a jade tea flower appeared in her hand, but this phantom kept flickering and tearing apart, as if it was being cut open by someone's sword light.

Wanjing casually tapped on the flower heart, and the phantom rippled like ripples, reflecting a handsome and gentle face.

"Elder Qin?" Wanjing raised her eyebrows, then smiled meaningfully: "It's really a fate."

Chu Jiangyue should be in the capital at this time. I wonder if the two have met?

While Qin Shu was struggling with the black energy, he faintly felt a divine consciousness intrude, connecting with the jade tea flower in front of him.

He understood that Wanjing had noticed it.

Not knowing what she would do, Qin Shu simply cut the mess with a sharp knife, wanting to cut Huaxin apart before Wanjing could make a move.

A burst of spiritual power suddenly stabbed from behind, Qin Shu dodged sideways and looked in that direction defensively.

Not far away, a figure stood quietly on the cornice of the glazed tiles.He hid it well originally, so good that he seemed to blend in there, quietly avoiding anyone's perception of God.

But that pretense is broken when he gets his hands on it.Not only Qin Shu, but the guards with sensitive five senses also spotted him.

The man had a serious face, a tall figure, and a long sword in his hand.

Chu Jiangyue.

Qin Shu did not expect to meet him in such a situation.

"Catch the assassin!" The guard outside the garden reacted and shouted loudly.

Because the assassin broke in last night and attacked the fifth prince, the guards of the West Third Institute had not been completely withdrawn at this time, and there were plenty of people. Dozens of people raised their knives and rushed towards Chu Jiangyue on the cornice.

Chu Jiangyue was still standing there, her eyes fixed on Qin Shu.

The palace is not a good place to fight. There will be a battle between them, but it is definitely not at this time.

The two looked at each other for a while, and before the guards surrounded him, Chu Jiangyue put away his long sword and flew away.
